Woolley, an aid worker, husband, and father of two boys, followed instructions on his cell phone to survive the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
“I had an app that had pre-downloaded all this information about treating wounds. So I looked up excessive bleeding and I looked up compound fracture(断裂),” Woolley told CNN.
The application on his iPhone is filled with information about first aid and CPR from the American Heart Association. “So I knew I wasn’t making mistakes, ” Woolley said. “That gave me confidence to treat my wounds properly.”
Trapped in the ruins of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince, he used his shirt to bandage his leg, and tied his belt around the wound. To stop the bleeding on his head, he firmly pressed a sock to it. Concerned he might have been experiencing shock, Woolley used the app to look up what to do. It warned him not to sleep. So he set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes.
Once the battery got down to less than 20 percent of its power, Woolley turned it off. By then, he says, he had trained his body not to sleep for long periods, drifting off only to wake up within minutes.
With his injuries tended to, he wrote a note to his family in his journal: “I was in a big accident, an earthquake. Don’t be upset at God. He always provides for his children even in hard times. I’m still praying that God will get me out, but he may not. But even so he will always take care of you.”
After more than 60 hours, Woolley was pulled from the rubble.
“Those guys are rescue heroes,” he said to the crew that pulled him out.

The official said the reports in the local press on Monday that the MAC has decided to postpone its plan to announce the implementation of the new plan on July 1 were inaccurate.
The official said cooperation between different organizations was still underway.The United Daily news quoted the director of the MAC’s legal affairs department, Liu Thehsun, as saying the plan to open up to mainland tourists would not be implemented as scheduled due to a lack of cross-strait communication.
Although relevant authorities, including the Bureau of Immigration and the Tourism Bureau, have complete reports on how to deal with visitors from mainland China, the decision has been taken not to press, ahead with announcement of the plan’s implementation on the first of July, Liu was quoted as saying.
The report also said that while no restrictions would be imposed on the mainland visitors in terms of age or residence in China, the visitors would need to hold a steady job or have more than 50,000RMB(about 6,000, U.S.dollars)in bank savings before they would be eligible(有资格的)to visit Taiwan.
In addition, Taiwan bound mainland tourists would have to come as part of a tour group and would be allowed to stay a maximum of 10 days each time.
The number of mainland tourists allowed to enter the island would also initially be limited to 1,000 people a day.
Although most people from Taiwan are free to travel to China, only a small number of mainland Chinese have been able to visit the island due to restrictions imposed by both sides of the Taiwan Strait after the end of a civil war in 1949.
小题1:At the moment, according to the passage, ___________.
A.no mainland Chinese can visit Taiwan now |
B.any mainland Chinese can visit Taiwan now |
C.many mainland Chinese have ever visited Taiwan since 1949 |
D.a few mainland Chinese have ever visited Taiwan since 1949 |
A.there will be no restrictions to mainland visitors |
B.mainland visitors who want to travel in Taiwan must have at least ¥50,000 in the bank savings account |
C.there will be no age restrictions to the mainland visitors |
D.mainland visitors will be free to travel to Taiwan |
A.MAC | B.United Daily |
C.several organizations | D.Bureau of Immigration |
A.The implementation of the plan has not been fixed. |
B.It was originally fixed on July 1 to announce the plan’s implementation. |
C.For lack of cross-strait communication, the plan will not be officially completed until July. |
D.When the plan is finalized, it will be announced immediately. |
The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnificent idling. But, worse than that, it imposes upon us a different conception of time as measured by the clock and eventually turns the human being into a clock himself. (This sort of thing is bound to come to China, as is evident, for instance, in the case of a factory of twenty thousand workers. The luxurious prospect of twenty thousand workers coming in at their own sweet pleasure at all hours is, of course, somewhat terrifying.)Nevertheless, such efficiency is what makes life so hard and full of excitement. A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five o’clock has the whole afternoon from one to five ruined for him already. Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the schoolboy - three o’clock for this, five o’clock for that, six-thirty for change of dress, six-fifty for entering the taxi, and seven o’clock for arriving at the destination. It just makes life not worth living.
小题1:The writer objects to efficiency mainly on the grounds that it ____.
A.gives us rights to have too much leisure time |
B.urges us to get things done punctually |
C.robs us of leisure time |
D.imposes on us a perfect concept of time |
A.the excitement of life |
B.magnificent idling of time |
C.more emphasis on efficiency |
D.terrifying schoolboy |
A.Chinese workers come to work when it is convenient |
B.all Americans are forced to be efficient against their will |
C.Chinese engineers are on better terms with the management |
D.Americans ought not to work so hard for efficiency |
A.great trouble | B.increased production |
C.a hard and exciting life | D.successful completion of a tunnel |
At least, that’s the way things look if you watch Chinese television these days. The latest reality-TV scandal to shock the nation involves Ma Nuo, a 22-year-old model from Beijing who appeared on China"s most popular dating show, If You Are the One. She rejected an offer from a male contestant to take a ride on his bike. "I"d rather cry in a BMW (宝马) car than laugh on the backseat of a bicycle," Ma told her suitor with a giggle.
The televised words swept the Internet and made an instant celebrity of Ma, who becomes one of the most talked-about women in the country. The reaction among young Chinese was especially severe, reflecting growing anxieties over the widening gap between rich and poor, shifting societal values and public attention on the difficulties of finding a mate in a country where men are expected to outnumber women by 24 million in a decade.
As disgusted as they have been by some of the contestants, viewers continue to watch religiously. Why are people still tuning in? "Audiences like programs because they are honest. They show the current reality of Chinese society," says Yan Mu, one of the founders of Baihe.com. Young people are so focused on making money and building their careers these days, they have little time to devote to dating, he says. "Many people feel pressure from their parents and peers," Yan adds. " It can be a struggle to find a partner." Money may not buy you love. But on China"s reality shows, it can at least get you a date.
小题1:The underlined words“numbers”in the first paragraph include the following except_______
A.the age and degree | B.the size of the house | C.the sum of the deposit | D.the price of the belonging |
A.When she is in a BMW car, she will cry | B.When she is on a bike, she will laugh |
C.She prefers money to true love | D.She prefers true love to money |
A.because they think they may get true love from them |
B.because they think China’s reality shows can at least give them a chance to date |
C.because their parents and peers force them to do so |
D.because viewers like dating shows |
A.some contestants have been disgusted because they are dishonest |
B.young people are too busy to take part in dating shows |
C.some people are worried that societal value are changing |
D.Ma Nuo rejected the bike offered by the contestant |
A.China’s TV Dating Show | B.Date for Love or money |
C.Date Makes You a Celebrity | D.Popular TV Dating Show |
Have you ever thought what your life would be like in old age? Everyone talks about the “aging” society with large numbers of elderly people needing home care. Now German researchers have set up a “smart” house, programmed to help the elderly live at home with dignity. Scientists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute say the house combines existing technology with future-oriented technology.
For example, the “smart” bathroom has a touch screen mirror that can remind people to take their medicine, wash their hands or brush their teeth. The hardware behind Fraunhofer’s electronic bathroom is not new, and the software runs on a regular personal computer.
When the medicine cabinet is opened, a display in the middle of the mirror tells the person how many pills to take. The mirror is linked to a care provider, who can remotely check whether a patient at home is actually taking medicine and brushing his or her teeth. As many elderly people have arthritic(关节炎的) conditions that make it difficult to operate water taps, the mirror also has displays that turn the water tap on or off or control the water temperature.
The bathroom is only the start. Kitchens, bedrooms and all other parts of the “intelligent” home will become “user-friendly” to meet all kinds of individual needs. Sensors in doors, toilets, taps, light switches and carpets detect every activity and record them electronically. Doctors or care staff can see from the computer records what personal hygiene tasks have been completed, how often the elderly person visits the bathroom or uses the toilet. In case of an emergency, the computer automatically alerts the chosen contact person or calls the care center.
小题1: The ‘smart” bathroom has a touch screen mirror ________.
A.that can help the elderly brush their teeth | B.which is linked to a nursing house |
C.behind which is a medicine cabinet | D.that can remind people to do many things |
A.every activity | B.doors, toilets, taps, light switches and carpets | C.individual needs | D.sensors |
A.smart but expensive | B.intelligent and convenient |
C.smart and environmentally-friendly | D.fashionable and energy-saving |
A.By inferring | B.By listing examples. | C.By comparing. | D.By introducing a practical method. |
A.calls on people to care for the old | B.encourages the old to live with dignity |
C.introduces a new house | D.promotes a new house |
The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic groups. What they have in common is poverty.
Currently in the U.S., thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you can’t pay the rent with food stamps.
With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative.
Although men make up the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the U.S. are teenagers and young children.
People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school.
The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor. One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs.
Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent “home”. Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves.
Job loss in today’s economy has also become a real factor in the loss of people’s homes. The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce is also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads.
小题1:The writer thinks that the U.S. government’s definition for the homeless shows _________.
A.an insincere attitude toward the homeless |
B.an unbearable attitude toward the homeless |
C.an uncivilized attitude toward the homeless |
D.an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless |
A.giving them homeless allowance | B.giving them food stamps |
C.finding jobs for them | D.finding residence (a place to live) for them |
A.the lack of adequate education |
B.the abuse of alcohol and drugs |
C.the closure of institutions for the mentally ill |
D.the poor performance of economy |
A.lose his or her job in today’s economy |
B.be unable to look after the kids |
C.not have enough income |
D.find residence at a homeless shelter |
