This is the VOA Special English Health Report.
ðɪs ɪz ðə vi-oʊ-eɪ ˈspɛʃəl ˈɪŋglɪʃ hɛlθ rɪˈpɔrt.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, can save the life of someone whose heart has stopped.
kɑrdioʊˈpʊlməˌnɛri rɪˌsʌsɪˈteɪʃən, ɔr si-pi-ɑr, kæn seɪv ðə laɪf ʌv ˈsʌmˌwʌn huz hɑrt hæz stɑpt.
The condition is called cardiac arrest. The heart stops pumping blood.The person stops breathing.
ðə kənˈdɪʃən ɪz kɔld ˈkɑrdiˌæk əˈrɛst. ðə hɑrt stɑps ˈpʌmpɪŋ blʌd. ðəˈpɜrsən stɑps ˈbriðɪŋ.
Without lifesaving measures, the brain starts to die within four to six minutes.
wɪˈθaʊt ˈlaɪfˌseɪvɪŋ ˈmɛʒərz, ðə breɪn stɑrts tu daɪ wɪˈðɪn fɔr tu sɪks ˈmɪnəts.
CPR combines breathing into the victim's mouth and repeated presses on the chest.
si-pi-ɑr kəmˈbaɪnz ˈbriðɪŋ ˈɪntu ðə ˈvɪktəmz maʊθ ænd rɪˈpitɪd ˈprɛsəz ɑn ðə ʧɛst.
CPR keeps blood and oxygen flowing to the heart and brain.
si-pi-ɑr kips blʌd ænd ˈɑksəʤən ˈfloʊɪŋ tu ðə hɑrt ænd breɪn.
However, a new Japanese study questions the usefulness of mouth-to-mouth breathing.
haʊˈɛvər, ə nuˌʤæpəˈniz ˈstʌdi ˈkwɛsʧənz ðə ˈjusfəlnəs ʌv maʊθ-tu-maʊθ ˈbriðɪŋ.
The study was published in the British medical magazine, The Lancet.
ðə ˈstʌdi wʌz ˈpʌblɪʃt ɪn ðə ˈbrɪtɪʃ ˈmɛdəkəl ˈmægəˌzin, ðə ˈlænsət.
Doctors in Tokyo led the research.
ˈdɑktərz ɪn ˈtoʊkiˌoʊ lɛd ðə riˈsɜrʧ.
It examined more than four thousand people who had suffered cardiac arrest.
ɪt ɪgˈzæmənd mɔr ðæn fɔr ˈθaʊzənd ˈpipəl hu hæd ˈsʌfərd ˈkɑrdiˌæk əˈrɛst.
In all the cases, witnesses saw the event happen.
ɪn ɔl ðə ˈkeɪsəz, ˈwɪtnəsəz sɔ ði ɪˈvɛnt ˈhæpən.
More than one thousand of the victims received some kind of medical assistance from witnesses.
mɔr ðæn wʌn ˈθaʊzənd ʌv ðə ˈvɪktəmz rəˈsivd sʌm kaɪnd ʌv ˈmɛdəkəl əˈsɪstəns frʌm ˈwɪtnəsəz.
Seven hundred and twelve received CPR. Four hundred and thirty-nine received chest presses only.
ˈsɛvən ˈhʌndrəd ænd twɛlv rəˈsivd si-pi-ɑr. fɔr ˈhʌndrəd ænd ˈθɜrdi-naɪn rəˈsivd ʧɛst ˈprɛsəz ˈoʊnli.
No mouth-to-mouth rescue breaths were given to them.
noʊ maʊθ-tu-maʊθ ˈrɛskju brɛθs wɜr ˈgɪvən tu ðɛm.
The researchers say any kind of CPR improved chances of the patient's survival.
ðə ˈrisərʧərz seɪ ˈɛni kaɪnd ʌv si-pi-ɑr ɪmˈpruvd ˈʧænsəz ʌv ðə ˈpeɪʃənts sərˈvaɪvəl.
But, they said those people treated with only chest presses suffered less brain damage.
bʌt, ðeɪ sɛd ðoʊz ˈpipəl ˈtritəd wɪð ˈoʊnli ʧɛst ˈprɛsəz ˈsʌfərd lɛs breɪn ˈdæməʤ.
Twenty-two percent survived with good brain ability.
ˈtwɛnti-tu pərˈsɛnt sərˈvaɪvd wɪð gʊd breɪnə ˈbɪləti.
Only ten percent of the victims treated with traditional CPR survived with good brain ability.
ˈoʊnli tɛn pərˈsɛnt ʌv ðə ˈvɪktəmz ˈtritəd wɪð trəˈdɪʃənəl si-pi-ɑr sərˈvaɪvd wɪð gʊd breɪn əˈbɪləti.
The American Heart Association changed its guidelines for CPR chest presses in two thousand five.
ði əˈmɛrəkən hɑrt əˌsoʊsiˈeɪʃən ʧeɪnʤd ɪts ˈgaɪˌdlaɪnz fɔr si-pi-ɑr ʧɛst ˈprɛsəz ɪn tu ˈθaʊzənd faɪv.
It said people should increase the number of chest presses from fifteen to thirty for every two breaths given.
ɪt sɛd ˈpipəl ʃʊd ˈɪnˌkris ðə ˈnʌmbər ʌv ʧɛst ˈprɛsəz frʌm fɪfˈtin tu ˈθɜrdi fɔr ˈɛvəri tu brɛθs ˈgɪvən.
Gordon Ewy is a heart doctor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson.
ˈgɔrdən ˈeɪvi ɪz ə hɑrt ˈdɑktər æt ðə ˌjunəˈvɜrsəti ʌv ˌɛrɪˈzoʊnə ˈkɑlɪʤ ʌv ˈmɛdəsən ɪn ˈtuˌsɑn.
He wrote a report that appeared with the study.
hi roʊt ə rɪˈpɔrt ðæt əˈpɪrd wɪð ðə ˈstʌdi.
Doctor Ewy thinks the CPR guidelines should be changed again.
ˈdɑktər ˈeɪvi ˈθɪŋks ðə si-pi-ɑr ˈgaɪˌdlaɪnz ʃʊd bi ʧeɪnʤd əˈgɛn.
He said the heart association should remove rescue breaths from the guidelines.
hi sɛd ðə hɑrt əˌsoʊsiˈeɪʃən ʃʊd riˈmuv ˈrɛskju brɛθs frʌm ðə ˈgaɪˌdlaɪnz.
He argues that more witnesses to cardiac arrests would provide treatment if rescue breaths are not a part of CPR.
hi ˈɑrgjuz ðæt mɔr ˈwɪtnəsəz tu ˈkɑrdiˌæk əˈrɛsts wʊd prəˈvaɪd ˈtritmənt ɪf ˈrɛskju brɛθs ɑr nɑt əpɑrt ʌv si-pi-ɑr.
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.
ˈstʌdiz ʃoʊ ðæt ˈmɛni ˈpipəl du nɑt wɑnt tu pərˈfɔrm maʊθ-tu-maʊθ ˈbriðɪŋ ɑn ə ˈstreɪnʤər fɔr fɪr ʌv ˈgɛtɪŋ ə dɪˈziz.
Cardiac arrest kills more than three hundred thousand people in theUnited Statesevery year.
ˈkɑrdiˌæk əˈrɛst kɪlz mɔr ðæn θri ˈhʌndrəd ˈθaʊzənd ˈpipəl ɪn ðə juˈnaɪtəd steɪts ˈɛvəri jɪr.
The American Heart Association says about ninety-five percent of victims die before they get to a medical center.
ði əˈmɛrəkən hɑrt əˌsoʊsiˈeɪʃən sɛz əˈbaʊt ˈnaɪnti-faɪv pərˈsɛnt ʌv ˈvɪktəmz daɪ bɪˈfɔr ðeɪ gɛt tu əˈmɛdəkəl ˈsɛntər.

信息和事实(Facts)
1.语音语调的逐句讲解，注意3个方面：节奏、强弱、升降调。
2.强化练习体验。
感受与评价(Comments)
1.误差一秒以内的全文朗读，录的有点崩溃，昨天录了一半，另一半怎么也读不顺，不是对某个单词的发音不满意，就是语音语调有问题，要么就是超时，最后直接放弃了。今天早上重头开始，同样的，也是前半部分录得比较顺利，后半部分又录到有点崩溃（我总结的原因是前半部分重复的次数更多，所以掌握得也更熟练），就这样录一会，崩溃，干了点别的换换脑子，又继续录，崩溃，换换脑子，再继续录……总算是完成了，虽然还有很多进步的空间，但也算是给这一个月努力的自己一个很好的交代。
2.强化练习部分听得大脑一片空白。。。。暂时不敢轻易尝试。不过也算是拓宽眼界，认清现状，指明了可以努力的方向。
