Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer.   1  In the United States, heat exposure led to 8,000 deaths between 1979 and 2003. Luckily, a little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day.

Know the danger

Heat-related illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur.   2  The body’s temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90-degree day, creating a potentially deadly situation. Factors such as age, weight or a medical condition can influence people.

Drink plenty of water

3  Sweating is your body’s key way to keep cool, so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的) before you feel thirsty. A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day, but drink responsibly. Alcohol stops the body’s cooling system and causes you to go to the bathroom frequently.

 4 

Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing, so air can go around your body and help keep you cool. A hat is a must to help you keep cool, since your head contains many blood vessels(血管)， and sun block(防曬乳) is always a good idea.

Take action

What should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event?

Get up and go. It is a simple piece of advice, but could make the difference between a quick recovery and something more severe that requires medical attention. The ideal thing is to move yourself from the position you’re in to an area that is a little cooler.  5

A．Weather-related causes

B．Dress for the occasion

C．In hot weather, it is essential to stay hydrated.

D．You may miss a little of the action, but it beats missing a lot.

E. It is also important to take advantage of services the equipment provides.

F. But when you add sun exposure to the crowds, the results can be deadly.

G. Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous.

 

Attitude is an internal state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.

     The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas－all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.

Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.

      Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification（修正）of attitudes.

1．The word “state” (in Line 1) has the similar meaning to___________.

     A．a(chǎn) mental or emotional condition.            B．a(chǎn) condition of being in a stage or form.

      C．social position or rank．                       D．a(chǎn) specific mode of government.

2．According to the passage, attitudes ­­­­­­­­­__________.

     A．come from different situations in one’s life

     B．a(chǎn)re largely affected by one’s behavior

     C．remain unchanged in one’s daily life

     D．could be chosen according to one’s will

3．The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show______.

     A．people often make mistakes when they are not noticed

     B．people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds

     C．particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action

     D．a(chǎn)n individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily

4．Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?

     A．Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.

     B．Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.

     C．Copying others behavior is not a good idea.

     D．Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.

5．What would be the best title for the passage?

     A．Differences of Attitudes.                        B．Nature(性質(zhì)) of Attitude.

     C．Choices of Attitudes.                              D．Modification of Attitude.
