9、sity of Michigan Museum of Natural History.BJust months after taking a first-aid course, Apryl Hammett came across a road traffic accident and jumped straight in to help. Apryl, who learned first aid for her voluntary role as a scout（童子军）leader, was driving through Essex with her husband and two chi

10、ldren when a striking scene occurred before them.She recalled: “We could see a woman had been hit by a car and was lying by the roadside. Fortunately, a passing doctor had already stopped and was treating her.” Apryl didnt hesitate: “I asked my husband to speak to the driver, who was obviously upset

11、, and then raced over to help.” It was immediately clear that the woman was badly injured. Apryl held her head and spoke softly, keeping her calm and still while the doctor checked for injuries. The scout leader said: “She was bleeding quite heavily from a head wound, which previously might have fri

12、ghtened me. But I remembered the Red Cross trainer had explained head wounds can bleed a lot.” Fortunately the paramedics（医护人员）arrived quickly, but Apryl continued to comfort the injured woman. Altogether, she helped out for about half an hour until it became clear the situation was in hand. She sai

13、d: “Both the doctor and the paramedics thanked me for being so helpful. And later, I was relieved to hear the woman was in a stable condition.”Looking back, Apryl said: “Im sure Id have stopped to help even without my training, but having those skills meant I was much more confident and effective. I

14、 felt very calm, simply because I knew what to do.” Now the Chelmsford mother-of two wants to encourage more people in her area to equip themselves with first-aid skills. And there was another clear benefit from her heroics. She explained: “Im really glad my kids saw me responding. Itll help them ge

15、t the message about the importance of first aid.”24. According to the text, Apryl Hammett _.A. knocked a woman down B. is talking a first aid courseC. is a first-aid trainer for the Scouts D. provided help in a traffic accident25.

Warm-hearted and helpfulCThe British-and especially the English-are bad at complaining. Because of British politeness rules, acco

18、rding to which confrontations should be avoided, people either just do not complain or sometimes bottle it up and then explode in an inappropriate outpouring of aggressive complaints. In fact, there is a TV programme which shows the British in typical situations where they would be perfectly justifi

19、ed in complaining but they dont. In one scene, a woman reads a newspaper over peoples shoulders and the people say nothing or look embarrassed.The British are also well-known for putting up with bad service everywhere from restaurants to airports and railway stations because the standard rules of be

20、haviour say that it is bad to draw attention to yourself. This is why, when you travel on the Tube in London and there is yet another delay, the passengers will look at each other, sigh, smile wearily and raise their eyes to heaven. They might even say, Huh! Typical in a resigned tone of voice that

21、says that theres nothing that can be done about it. When complaints are made, they are made in an apologetic or a humorous tone of voice. In France, on the other hand, angry passengers might riot（闹事）and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London Undergro

22、und provides.Americans and other Europeans, who are much more direct and in-your-face than the British, often wonder why British people always say sorry or excuse me when they complain. “Its like theyre apologizing for something that isnt their fault,” they say. They are missing the point. British p

23、eople are not really sorry-it is because the word sorry actually works as a distancing mechanism. This is important in terms of negative politeness and not drawing attention to yourself. If you do not say sorry or use other distancing words like could, would, might, possibly and so on, you will be s

Which can be the best title for the text?A. How to complain B. Complaining po

26、litelyC. Poor service in Britain D. Politeness rules across the worldDGerman company DHL recently announced it is starting a new drone（无人驾驶飞机）delivery service to get “urgently needed goods,” such as life-saving medicines, to certain remote locations.The companys plan is to use small, parcel-carrying

27、 drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist, an island in Germanys North Sea, where other delivery options (such as ferries or trains) arent always available. The drone service is a continuation of DHLs “parcelcopter research project,” which was launched in December 2013.But the DHL

28、 drones have changed significantly since their maiden（初次的）flight, DHL officials said in a statement. For one thing, theyve been improved to undergo the high winds and rain that they may face over the North Sea. For another, the parcelcopter 2.0 can reach altitudes of 164 feet and can fly as fast as

29、40 miles per hour. The drone is also capable of flying for extended periods of time-about 45 minutes before needing to be recharged-enabling it to make the roughly 7.5-mile journey to Juist.The drone can carry loads of up to 2.6 pounds (1.2 kilograms). The drone itself weighs 11 pounds (5kg). Thanks

30、 to a new autopilot feature, the maiden flight of the new and improved drones will be completely automated, even during takeoff and landing. However, drone pilots will be standing by at a mobile ground station in Norddeich, on the coast of mainland Germany, just in case something goes wrong. Once th

31、e drones land at Juist, the parcels will be delivered to their recipients（收件人）by a human courier（急件递送者）.For now, the company will be using the drones only when other delivery options arent available, and no plans are currently in the works to incorporate the parcelcopters into normal day-to-day deli

32、veries, according to company officials.32. To meet what requirement will DHL probably use the drones?A. A ton of life necessities need to be sent to a village.B. An important parcel needs to be sent to a man in Juist.C. Some medicines are urgently needed in the city hospital.D. A family needs to go to Juist when
