First Aid for Burns
When 12-year-old Li Hua accidentally spilled boiling water on his hand during a cooking class,his teacher immediately sprang into action.She followed the RICE principle (Rest,Ice,Compress,Elevate) and added critical steps from the Mayo Clinic guidelines.First,she rinsed the burn under cool running water for 15 minutes to reduce tissue damage.Next,she removed his wristwatch to prevent swelling,then covered the wound with a sterile dressing.
At school,students learn these skills through hands-on simulations.Last month,during a first aid workshop,they practiced treating burns using mannequins and fake wounds. "We even learned to identify different burn types," said Li Hua. "Minor burns are red and painful,while severe ones require immediate medical attention."
The importance of proper first aid was highlighted when a classmate,Wang Lei,used these skills to help a friend who touched a hot stove. "I remembered not to pop the blister," he explained. "That's how infections start."

Astronauts may soon be going to the moon again as NASA (美国国家航空局) plans to build bases (基地) there.Astronauts will not be able to take all the food they will need,so they may have to grow some of it on moon farms.
But can plants grow on the moon?Maybe.That is according to a new study.Scientists used the soil (土壤) brought back by Apollo program (阿波罗计划) astronauts from the moon to grow plants on Earth.Scientists put this soil in little cups and some Earth soil in other cups,then planted seeds (种子), watered them and placed the cups under growth lights.
In the Earth soil,plants grew healthy leaves.In the Moon soil,plants grew leaves,too.But those plants were smaller.And they were less healthy.The older the moon soil was,the worse the plants grew.
Stephen Elardo is one of the scientists.He says it still might be possible to grow plants on the moon.The key to the success of the study could lie on where on the moon you do your planting.
Scientists still have much to learn.But this study brings humans one step closer to calling the moon home.
66.Why do astronauts need to grow food on the moon? ______
A. Because they enjoy farming.
B. Because they cannot bring all their food from Earth.
C. Because moon soil is very healthy.
D. Because NASA wants to sell moon vegetables.
67.Which picture shows the relationship (关系) between the age of the moon soil (x) and the plants' growth (y)? ______
A. B.
C. D.
68.What makes the success of the programme according to Stephen Elardo? ______
A. The weather. B. The number. C. The time. D. The place.
69.What is the main purpose (意图) of the study mentioned in the article? ______
A. To test if astronauts can live on Mars.
B. To see if plants can grow in moon soil.
C. To compare Earth and moon vegetables.
D. To find new ways to cook moon food.
