Tom likes music very much, and he often uses earphones when walking outside.
It’s a long way from Wang Jun’s home to school, so he often sleeps all the way on the bus.
There are too many passengers on the bus today, and Li Feng puts his bag out of his reach.
The house is on fire and it is full of smoke in the house, and you are in it.
| A．You should press the cut with a piece of cloth to stop the blood, and then go to hospital as quickly as possible. |
| B．If you are followed by a stranger, cross the street and go in the other direction. Next, go and get help from others if it is necessary. Don’t go home directly. You are safer on the street than you are at home alone. |

F. If your house catches fire and you have to escape through smoke, move on your hands and knees with your head 30 to 60 centimeters above the floor. Please remember there is cleaner and cooler air near the floor during the fire.
Scientists have found a new use for children’s imaginations(想象力)—to make Stomachaches go away. The BBC reports a new study that shows: “Children can be taught to use their Imaginations to deal with stomachaches.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children.
Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent(时常发生的) things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for.
This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away.
The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy(幻想) situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73.3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 percent of kids who got normal treatment.
Study leader Dr Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults.
The new study may be good news for those who____________.
| A．have less imaginations |
| B．don’t know how to relax |
| C．want to stop their kids’ stomachaches in a short time |
| D．can find why children suffer from stomachaches |
What kind of kids will benefit(从…收益) most from the new research?
| A．Kids who like listening to music. |
| B．Kids who are good at remembering things. |
| C．The independent(独立的) kids. |
| D．Kids with active imaginations. |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．Sometimes, doctors don’t know why children suffer from stomachaches. |
| B．Children complain about their learning problems most frequently. |
| C．The more creative the child is, the less likely he or she is to have a stomachache. |
| D．30 children received normal medicines in the tests. |
From the end of the passage, we know that__________.
| A．adults can also use their imaginations to make stomachaches go away |
| B．Dr Miranda Tilburg wasn’t pleased with her findings |
| C．the normal cure for stomachaches will not be used |
| D．a cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches has been found |
