Passage 3
If there is one thing I‘m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.?
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives - the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It‘s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do - as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.?
It‘s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu; making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read - sports and international news, etc.?
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)。 They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn‘t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures: on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

Passage 4
British Red Cross volunteer Philip Roberts showed how important basic first aid skills can be by saving a road crash victim‘s life.?
Philip was driving down the M6 motorway early one morning when he came across a serious road accident. A truck had crashed into a car, driving it off the motorway and into a roadside bank.?
As the first person on the scene, Philip made sure it was safe to approach the vehicle and found an unconscious woman inside, slumped (陷入) forward and with her airway blocked. As another driver approached, he shouted for them to call the emergency services. Then Philip acted fast.
He recalls:“Climbing into the car, I immediately lifted the woman‘s head and opened her airway, so she would be able to breathe. I then kept my hands on her head to keep her neck steady, as the crash could have caused spinal (脊柱的) injury.”?
“When the emergency services arrived, they asked me to stay inside the car and maintain(维持) the woman‘s airway while they cut off the roof of the car.” By the time the woman was freed from the vehicle, half an hour later, she was starting to regain consciousness.?
Philip said, “The simple first aid techniques I used can be learned in five minutes, yet they probably saved the driver‘s life. Surely that’s a worthwhile way to spend five minutes!”?
“It shows that you don‘t necessarily need a big first aid kit full of medical equipment-your hands are the best first aid tools you have.”?
Thousands of people are killed on UK roads every year and over half of road accident deaths occur before the emergency services arrive. It can take less than four minutes for a blocked airway to cause death, while it takes around eight minutes for emergency services to arrive.

A. The Importance of First Aid Skills
B. Philip Roberts,a British Red Cross Volunteer C. Simple Skills Save Crash Victim
