They are not workers on geography, but dispatchers(调度员) on Emergency(急救) Center of the city.‎ Since 2007, the dispatchers in the center have been drawing maps of the local areas.‎ ‎“A dispatcher’s job is counted in seconds,” says Liang Ruimei, a dispatcher in the center. She has been working in the center since it started in 2007. “We must answer the phone in 3 seconds, get clear information about the patient in 60 seconds and dispatch(调度) emergency medical workers in 3 minutes at most. If we save one second, the patient may have a better chance to live.”‎ ‎ Although nowadays the center has electronic maps, the dispatchers still walk through the streets to draw maps by hand.‎ ‎ After many years’ hard work, the dispatchers keep every building and street of the city in mind. They even know whether or not a car can enter the gate of a building. Sometimes the caller can’t tell clearly where he is, but it doesn’t matter. As long as he describes the buildings around, the dispatcher can dispatch emergency medical workers to him.‎ ‎“We are trying to be quicker than Death,” says Liang.‎ ‎65.

We were really happy then, but this lovely baby has grown up!‎ He seems to have too much energy, and never stops running or shouting. The door doesn’t help at all—he’ll be knocking at it for ages. I can’t study at home. I really can’t stand this, but what should I say to four-year-old boy? And my parents are around him all the time. They seem to forget everything about me. How I miss those sweet old days when we could just sit in the sofa!‎ Can you help me out?‎ Dr. Wang ‎@ Sophia ‎ That’s a common complaint. I know how awful it is when someone keeps knocking at the door, but doesn’t that mean the little one wants to stay with you? Just as you want to have your parents around, he needs your attention! If this doesn’t make you feel better, ask your parents for some help. Just have a talk with your parents. Ask them to calm our little brother down or take him out when you are doing your homework. And tell them that you also need their attention!‎ Family life might not always be as sweet as those old days. Sometimes we have to wait until what troubles us today becomes part of those sweet old days. ‎ ‎45.

A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This number was lower than any other country. So, what did British drivers do to achieve this? What are they doing differently? Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK.‎ People in Britain drive on the left side of the road. In fact, a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries, but now only a few countries have this. Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts ( 环岛) .‎ British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue of traffic, then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called "jumping the queue". You must wait for your turn; otherwise people may get angry with you.‎ You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries. it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this.‎ If another driver flashes (闪烁) his cars lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first. British people don't like to use their car horn ( 喇叭) much and they think people who do so are rude.‎ If you get in an accident, don't try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you could end your holiday visiting British prison.‎ 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词。‎ ‎46.

In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰) the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.‎ One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude(态度) to children than their parents. "I have one child and she is enough for me," said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. "My husband and I both work full-time. We can't imagine having more than one child." Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years," said 19-year-old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18-24 year old women everywhere in Europe.‎ In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people, usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.‎ Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women now receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child.‎ ‎56. Where in the world is the population getting smaller?‎ ‎ __________________________________________________________‎ ‎57. How many children does Galina Tereschkova want to have?‎ ‎ __________________________________________________________‎ ‎58. What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children?‎ ‎ __________________________________________________________‎ ‎59. Why is the population in Poland going down?‎ ‎ __________________________________________________________‎ ‎60. How does the French government encourage people to have larger families now?‎ ‎ __________________________________________________________‎ Passage 7（2019 •江苏省淮安）‎ A young lady was driving a family car home with her father when they were caught in a heavy storm.

The young lady asked her father again if they should stop. But her father said nothing. So, she had to keep on driving.‎ Ten minutes later, the storm started to become small and she could see a little more clearly. After a couple of kilometers, she drove out of the storm. Moreover. the sun came out and the road ahead was dry.‎ Her father told her to stop and get out of the car.‎ ‎"But why now, Father? " she asked in surprise.‎ Her father said, "When you get out, you can look back at all the people in cars and big trucks that gave up and they are still in the storm. Now, your storm is over because you didn't give up.‎ Don't give up, even if the stronger do. If you keep going, soon your "personal storms" will be over.
