回答题:

Chest Compressions: Most Important of CPR

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, can save the life of someone whose heart has stopped. The condition is called cardiac arrest. The heart stops pumping blood. The person stops breathing. Without lifesaving measures, the brain starts to die within four to six minutes. CPR combines breathing into the victim&39;s mouth and repeated presses on the chest.__________(46).

However, a new Japanese study questions the usefulness of mouth-to-mouth breathing. Thestudy was published in the British medical magazine, The Lancet. Doctors in Tokyo led the research. It examined more than four thousand people who had suffered cardiac arrest. In all the cases, witnesses saw the event happen.

More than one thousand of the victims received some kind of medical assistance from witnesses. Seven hundred and twelve received CPR. Four hundred and thirty-nine received chest presses only.__________(47)The researchers say any kind of CPR improved chances of the patient&39;s survival. But, they said those people treated with only chest presses suffered less brain damage.

Twenty-two percent survived with good brain ability.__________(48).

The American Heart Association changed its guidelines for CPR chest presses in 2005.

__________ (49) Gordon Ewy is a heart doctor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson. He wrote a report that appeared with the study. Doctor Ewy thinks the CPR guidelines should be changed again. He said the heart association should remove rescue breaths from the guidelines. He argues that more witnesses to cardiac arrests would provide treatment if rescue breaths are not a part of CPR. He says this would save lives __________ (50).

Cardiac arrest kills more than 300,000 people in the United States every year. The American Heart Association says about ninety-five percent of victims die before they get to a medical center.

Call the Disk Doctorl

1 Desperate computer users who 'lose' the data from their disks can get in touch with

experts who, for a fee, will recover the lost information. One of these experts is Dave Smith, who, some years ago, set up a company called fl3ve,5 Disk Doctor Service Ltd. Dave and a few of his friends work from home and give all the money they earn to charity. The fees are always the same, no matter how precious the data on the disk is. Some people, however, are so grateful that they send extra money to Dave or to the charities his company supports. One oil company offered him Li ,000 for his help and a vet sent him a blank check

2 It would be hard to put a value on the things rescued by the Disk Doctor. There have been disks containing medical research, television scripts, manuscripts of whole books, a comedlan,5joke collection, a solicitor' s papers for a court case, and even Margaret Thatcher,5itinerary for a visit to eastern Europe. For this last case, Dave was asked if he would go in person to Mrs. Thatcher's office 'for security reasons,!

3 Disks are usually sent to the Disk Doctor by post, but sometimes people are in such

a hurry that they can't wait for the post. Radio scripts have had to be rushed by taxi to

Dave's house because they were needed for broadcasting the next day, for example. When the material has been recovered, the disk is returned to the sender with a diagnosis and a prescription for avoiding the problem in future. One grateful client, an author put a 'thank you' to Dave in the front of his book.' Dave saved mc from a cardiac arrest' , he wrote 'But,,says Dave, 'most people don't take any notice ol the doctor's advice!'
