26、Most small cuts don’t present any danger to your child. But bleeding from large cuts may require immediate medical treatment.
Here is what to do.
For Minor(小的) Bleeding From a Small Cut:
Rinse the wound thoroughly with water to clean out dirt.
Then wash the wound with a mild soap and wash thoroughly. (For minor wounds, it isn’t necessary to use an antiseptic(消毒的) solution to prevent infection, and some can cause allergic skin reactions.)
Cover the wound with a sterile(无菌的) bandage.
Examine the wound daily. If the bandage gets wet, remove it and apply a new one. After the wound forms a scab(疤), a bandage is no longer necessary.
Call your child’s doctor if the wound is red, swollen and warm.
For Bleeding From a Large Cut:
Wash the wound thoroughly with water. This will allow you to see the wound clearly and assess its size.
Place a clean cloth over the entire wound. If available, use clean rubber gloves to protect yourself from exposure to possible infection from the blood of a child who isn’t your own. If you can, raise the bleeding body part above the level of your child’s heart.
Using the palm of your hand on the cloth, apply steady, direct pressure to the wound for 5 minutes. (During the 5 minutes, do not stop to check the wound or remove blood clots(凝块) that may form on the cloth.)
If blood soaks(浸透) through the cloth, do not remove it. Apply another cloth on top and continue applying pressure.
Call your child’s doctor or search for immediate medical attention for all large cuts if you’re unable to deal with them.

27、 There's no place like home, where we're surrounded by our favorite foods and many other comforts. Most important of all, we can keep adding favorite things to give our homes a personal touch. 【1】
Of course, we can be easily attracted to these unique plants. They can add a natural touch to our homes.【2】According to the Royal Horticultural Society, nearly 72% of adults in the UK have some houseplants in their homes, and a fifth of adults say they use plants in their homes to make them feel happier.
【3】The reason is that more and more young people are living in flats without a garden. One of those interviewed by the Royal Horticultural Society is 24-year-old Daisy Hale. She said, “Being able to beautify the small room without having to spend too much is perfect for me.”
Despite the benefits, the Royal Horticultural Society is deeply concerned that the houseplants might not be good for the environment. 【4】 These foreign plants might be very harmful to our environment. It is also worried about the plastic pots that hold the plants and the type of peat(泥炭)that the plants are grown in.
In short, the Royal Horticultural Society encourages people to buy local(本地的)plants held in reusable pots that are filled with natural soil. 【5】
A.Some of those popular things are houseplants.
B.However, some of these houseplants are too expensive.
C.Many experts are opposed to buying houseplants for homes.
D.They have the ability to brighten up a room with acceptable costs.
E.It has found that many of the plants bought online are shipped from overseas.
F.It has also found that young people are driving up the sales of houseplants very fast.
G.Then these “living" additions will be good for ourselves and for our environment.
28、 With intelligent systems and new-age networks, life in the big cities will likely be happier and more efficient (有效率的). After all, more than 60 percent of the world's population is expected tore in cities by 2050, according to a UN report. The answer to making these cities more livable for so many people lies in creating “smart” cities. They will use 5G networks and the “internet of things” (IoT) to make everyday life safer and more convenient. Some cities are already using smart technology to improve the lives of their people.
But what exactly does a smart city do? Let's look at a few examples. In the United States cities of Boston and Baltimore, sensors (传感器) in smart rubbish cans can tell cleaning workers how full they are and when they need to be emptied. In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, traffic low and energy usage are monitored and adjusted (监控和调整) according to real-time data (数据) collected from sensors around the city. And in Copenhagen, Denmark, a smart bike system allows riders to check on air quality and traffic jam as they ride.
Smart cities will be interactive (互动的), allowing their people to feel like they're truly shaping their environment, instead of only living in it. It's very important that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never had in the past. Smart cities will also allow us to save resources. By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor the use of water, gas and electricity, city managers can figure out how to share and save these resources more efficiently.
Of course, it will take time and money to turn our present cities into the smart cities of the future. But as we've already seen, more cities around the world are already using smart technology in small ways. It won't be long before more cities start to develop their own smart systems.
【1】What makes it necessary to create smart cities?
A.The development of present cities. B.The increasing population in cities.
C.The wide use of 5G networks and IoT. D.The growing number of present cities
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.The sensors can control the traffic low.
B.Smart bike systems can improve air quality.
C.Smart technology can make city life convenient.
D.Smart technology has been used throughout the world.
【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How smart cities work. B.How smart cities are created.
C.How smart cities save resources. D.How smart cities communicate with us.
【4】What is the author's attitude towards smart cities?
A.Supportive. B.Worried. C.Uninterested. D.Doubtful.
