Translation
If you see someone pass out and you know some first aid, it could very well save a life.

Often people do nothing because they think what they do may kill the patient.But learning a few simple steps can save lives.

First, you need to determine if they are unconscious, asleep or drunk by squeezing the skin between their neck and shoulders and shouting.

If there's no response, you'll need to determine if they're dead or just passed out, though it can be hard to tell at times.

Place one hand on their forehead and slowly tilt the head back while raising the jaw to ensure smooth breathing.

If there is no obvious pulse and heartbeat, then there are no signs of life.Call an ambulance immediately and start cardiac rescue to keep oxygenated blood flowing between the brain and heart.

Interlock your hands and press down on the center of your rib cage up and down until the ambulance arrives.

Keep the frequency of 1 times per minute.You won't hurt them by doing this, but you could save a life.

Now you are going to read about some ways to care for your body.
Teeth are important to you. Have you ever heard someone talk who had no teeth? They can't speak clearly. You need teeth to help you talk right. A person who has no teeth has another problem, also. The face of that person is not as pretty as the face of someone with pretty teeth.
Another reason that teeth are important is that teeth chew your food for you. If you had no teeth, you would only be able to eat soft food. You could not eat steaks, apples, or hamburgers.
Tom's father is a dentist, he came to the class to talk about caring for the teeth. He gave each student a toothbrush and a little tube of toothpaste. He had pictures that showed how to brush teeth the right way. He said. “Tooth care begins with eating the right kinds of food. Eat cheese, leafy green vegetables, and drink three or more glasses of milk a day. Try not to eat sweets. Fruits are better for you.
“You need to chew your food well. Chewing exercises the jaws, gums, and teeth. Exercise is healthy. Also, chewing starts digestion.
“Remember to brush or rinse your teeth with water after eating. Always brush your teeth the way they grow. Brush up on the lower teeth and brush down on the upper teeth. Brushing the right way helps get the tiny bits of food from between your teeth. Brushing the right way keeps you from brushing the food under the gums. If you brush across your teeth you may wear away the tooth.
"Be careful! Do not use your teeth as a tool to bite into hard things or to crack nuts. You may chip or crack your teeth.
"You should visit your dentist twice a year, he can tell if any decay has started that you cannot see. Even when you brush your teeth carefully, sometimes little bits of food are left between the teeth. Use dental floss every day to get out these tiny bits of food that toothbrush misses.
Like your teeth, you need to take care of your sight. You must be careful to have enough light when you are reading. The light should come over your shoulder.
Don't look right at the sun. When the sun is very bright, like at the seashore or in the snow, wear sunglasses. Good food helps your eyes, also. Carrots have vitamins in them that help you see at night. When you use scissors or pointed tools, be careful to keep the points away from your eyes. Be careful around other people, too. You do not want to hurt someone else's eyes.
You have learned about how to care for your teeth and for your eyes. Now I am going to tell you about how to care for your body.
You should breathe deeply. Deep breathing helps your body to work its very best. Also, you should stand tall with your head high and your shoulders straight. When you stand right, the inside of your body has enough room to work its best.
You must eat the healthy foods. You need to drink water, also. If you drink four to six glasses of water each day, your body will work at its best, too.
You can use water for washing, too. You need to take a bath every day. You should wash your hair at least once a week. If you rinse your hair enough, your hair will shine. Wear clean clothes everyday, too.
Be sure that you have enough sleep at night. You should have eight to ten hours of sleep each night. You will be tired if you exercise your body each day. You need to keep it strong. Sleep will rest your tired body.
You keep your body clean. You should try to keep your thoughts clean, too. How you think makes you happy or unhappy. If you loved your friends, you will be kind to them. mind full of bad thoughts, you will not feel happy. To be healthy you don't want to fill your body with junk food. In the same way, to have a happy, healthy mind, fill it with good thoughts about the world. You want to think the best, read the best, and act the best that you can.
