When Jack Dawson was just 2 years old, it became obvious that he dreamed about becoming a paramedic, an emergency caregiver. His grandfather owns a first response company in Staffordshire, England, and Jack would ride along in his ambulances with the flashing blue lights. By age three, he would start “randomly performing CPR on his toy bear, pressing its chest”, said his mother, Danielle. “My husband and I decided to teach him first aid. He loves it.” Jack quickly grasped the act of CPR, understanding the different recovery positions, and learned how to use a defibrillator, a machine that starts the heart beating again after a heart attack.
Then, at age seven, overseen by his father and other trainers, the youngster started to lead workshop sessions of his own for their charity. Tamworth Have A Heart, which aims to make Automated External Defibrillators (AED) publicly accessible and train people to use them confidently. Jack teaches both children and adults how to perform CPR and use defibrillators, while also keeping an eye on his town centre and checking that the public defibrillators’ pads and batteries are up to date and fit for use.
The sessions often draw 20 to 40 people and sometimes Jack gives presentations in front of 100 people. He does step-by-step demonstrations on how to perform CPR, informing people about the dangers — including looking into patients’ airways before pressing.
“He absolutely loves teaching,” Danielle said. “I’ve never seen him so confident before and the fact that he’s helping people to save a life determines him even more. I think people appreciate the information coming from a child, as it makes them think that if a 10-year-old can do it, then they can.”
Under the name “Mini Medic”, Jack has a page on social media posting training nights for those unable to attend. As a result of his community work, the 10-year old is a finalist for Children of Courage Birmingham Awards. Looking forward, Danielle said he was enthusiastic about going to university and being a paramedic.
24. What made Jack interested in becoming a paramedic?
A. His family influence. B. His childhood games. C. His parents’ teaching. D. His like for ambulances.
25. What is the purpose of Tamworth Have A Heart?
A. To train children to be caregivers. B. To enhance downtown volunteering.
C. To promote the wide use of a device. D. To make lifesaving devices affordable.
26. What can we infer from Danielle’s words in Paragraph 4?
A. Adults tend to learn more from children. B. Children make better first-aid instructors.
C. Jack has too much confidence in teaching. D. Jack’s course inspires adults’ engagement.
27. Which of the following best describes Jack Dawson?
A. Cautious and manful. B. Ambitious and funny. C. Passionate and caring. D. Lonely and dependent.

When traveling to a new country, there is so much to see and do. Nobody wants to spend their whole trip sleeping or feeling exhausted. Luckily, there are ways to drive away the ZZZs and make the most of your travel. New research from Arizona State University, links exercise with the body’s internal clock, opening the possibility of treating jet lag (时差反应) with a workout.
Both traveling to a different time zone and staying up late at night can severely disturb the body’s internal clock, including making the body release the sleep-causing chemical melatonin (褪黑素) at a time when people want to stay awake. When the internal master clock isn’t in line with the external clock of your destination, it creates a mismatch of all your body rhythms. That’s what lies at the heart of jet lag.
The researchers of the study used the level of melatonin released by the body to explore the effects of exercise on body’s internal clock. First, researchers measured the melatonin levels of 99 participants throughout the day to establish a baseline. Then, the participants were asked to exercise for an hour for three days in a row at different times, and their melatonin levels were monitored.
The researchers noted shifts in the melatonin levels of participants: correlated with their activity level. The study uncovered that morning (7 a. m.) or afternoon (1-4 p. m.) works shifted the internal clock forward, while evening (7-10 p. m.) exercise shifted it backward. “This is the first study to compare exercise’s effects on the body clock, and could open up the possibility of using exercise to help reduce the negative effects of jet lag and shift work.” Shawn, the lead researcher said.
For west-to-east travel, evening exercise can get rid of time zone shifts. For east-to-west travel, morning or afternoon workouts are beneficial. Exercise pushes your internal clock forward or backwards by regulating the amount of melatonin. Walking or cycling are great ways to see the sites, when traveling, while getting jet-lag beating exercise. So, pack your running shoes for your next trip!
28. What is the key factor causing jet lag according to the text?
A. Low melatonin. B. Shortened sleeping. C. Long travel tiredness. D. Body rhythm disorder.
29. How did researchers get the result?
A. By doing observations. B. By undertaking surveys. C. By making comparisons.D. By integrating experience.
30. What does Shawn think of the study?
A. Overrated. B. Pathbreaking. C. Unrealistic. D. Conclusive.
31. Which exercise suits travelers flying from China to Canada?
A. Morning jogging. B. Evening swimming. C. Mid-night cycling. D. Random-time walking.
