This is the VOA Special English Health Report. 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's mouth and repeated presses on the chest. CPR keeps blood and oxygen flowing to the heart and brain.
However, a new Japanese study questions the usefulness of mouth-to-mouth breathing.
The study 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. No mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths were given to them.
The researchers say any kind of CPR improved chances of the patient's survival. But,
they said those people treated with only chest presses suffered less brain damage.
Twenty-two percent survived with good brain ability. Only ten percent of the victims
treated with traditional CPR survived with good brain ability.
The American Heart Association changed its guidelines for CPR chest presses in two
thousand five. It said people should increase the number of chest presses from fifteen
to thirty for every two breaths given.
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. Studies show that many
people do not want to perform mouth-to-mouth breathing on a stranger for fear of
getting a disease.
Cardiac arrest kills more than three hundred thousand 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.

练习今天的篇章，要求一次成型。
神同步，放录音和原声同时说。
经过自己长达1.5个小时的练习最终成型用时和原声用时一致。
【Comments】感受与评价
今天又完整地听了一遍自己的预习录音。。好想笑。。
有的单词的最后一个音好多没发出来，有好多音是读错的，节奏和升降调也有问题。。之前不知道什么是对的，什么是错的，所以错了自己都不知道，读完了还感觉挺良好的……吐血...
换气的节奏还是很重要的，什么时候开始，人们关于时间长度的记忆是很不准确的。停顿开始的时间难以把握，重复练习可以达到。
虽然现在可能有些细节处理的还不够好，但是很明显可以听出来是比初始时是有进步的，关于语速，语调，节奏的把控都比一开始要好了，语音也更清晰。本周参加了新二，昨天开始用软件跟读打分一次全过90了，整体得分95婚！这个结果还是很意外的，以前自己练的时候用软件跟读打分过，大概是70多，最多80多分的样子，而且怎么读分数都提不上来，现在知道了发音不对是无论如何都做不到接近原声的，分数自然就不高。所以我知道自己有进步了，还能找出别的同学存在的问题，开心到颤抖！感谢S给我们指引了正确的方向，给我们正确的启蒙！祝S永远18岁！！！哈哈～
虽然晨读结束了，但是英语学习不能停，S总是能让你看清世界真实的样子，想要学好英语要做的远比你想象的多，一句话有可能要练一个月，你所看到的别人呈现出来完美的一句话可能是别人背后很长时间的付出。英语学习不能止步于此，我们的目光要放在更远的方向，向更好的方向改变，持续学习，循序渐进，相信时间会是最好的见证者。
英语晨读算是完美ending(记得定期回头复习鸭！), 我知道自己还有不足，还有很长的路要走，接下来新二继续努力！离自己2019年的目标近点，更近一点！
今日一句：世界是一个数轴，你不管处在任意位置，往上往下看都是正负无穷。你不管进步到哪，都会看到，牛逼到无穷的人，和傻逼到没底线的。就看你的目光放在往哪放，如何要求自己了。
