9、over. Then I ran outside. I saw two boys playing across the street, and I yelled, Go and ask your parents to call 911,” Rohm said. But the two boys were able to do more than that. Nine-year-old Ethan Wilson took action, telling Rohm how to perform CPR on little Isiah while ten-year-old Rocky Hurt he
10、lped as well.Rocky said Ethan had learned the CPR technique from a poster in a health class at their school, Sedalia Park Elementary. “I was thinking wed better give her a helping hand instead of getting scared,” Ethan said. “I told her to push on the babys chest five to ten times a minute with only

15、Imagine a race between them!There may be telepathy helmets (心灵感应帽) that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on!What about the food of the future? Sci
16、entists think that much of it will be artificial made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. They think the artificial food will be of great benefit to your body because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.The future
17、hospitals will probably have “body banks” that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years.What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer (驾驶).
18、 Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the “driver” wants to go. And i probably will be impossible for cars to crowd together. Controls that wont even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving cars will be as saf
19、e as being at home.But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes (圆顶罩) over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you wont have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the “weatherman” thinks i
20、t is necessary to fresh the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm.The future should be a wonderful time in which to live and the time we are living in now is also a wonderful future to the people who lived 100 years ago.8.

23、ic while you are studying? A new study, conducted by British company Mindlab International, had found that listening to music at work increases accuracy and speed, The Telegraph reported. Perhaps, some parents expressed their dissent, saying, “Switch off the music and concentrate!” Well, if that is
24、the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning. The participants comple
25、ted these tasks while listening to music or no music at all.The results showed that while music was played, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work. David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International, told The Telegraph, “Music is a very powerfu
26、l management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency (效率) of participants workforce but also their emotional (情感的) state. It enables them to become more positive about the work.”However, you may have a list of your favorite songs, but not all kinds of music match all homework. For maths
27、 or other subjects related to numbers or attention to details, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you are reviewing your English writing, pop music is the be
28、st choice, as it is the best kind for spell-checking. It cut mistakes by 14%, compared to listening to no music. After finishing your homework, do you often take time to check your answers?
