语法填空(在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式) When
the knife you're using cuts your finger instead of the tomato, you might think
it is no big deal. A small cut will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (usual) heal well without medical care but any
time the skin gets broken, there is a risk of infection. Here's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to care for cuts at home.
Stop
bleeding by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (press) a clean, soft cloth against the wound
for a few minutes. If the wound is bleeding a lot, you'll need to keep up the
pressure for a much {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (long) time (sometimes up to 15 minutes). If
the wound is small, the bleeding should stop in a few minutes.
Clean
the wound. Run warm water over the cut for 5 minutes. Then use soap {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wash) the skin around the cut
gently and thoroughly. If there's dirt in the wound, remove it if you can—a
soft, damp cloth can be {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(help).Cleaning
the wound helps get infection-causing bacteria out of the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (injure) area. If you can't get all the dirt
out, call your doctor's office.
Dry
the area lightly and cover it with gauze (纱布) or some other type of bandage. A
bandage helps prevent germs from getting into the wound, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}can help avoid infection. If the
bandage gets wet or dirty, change it right away.
{#blank#}9{#/blank#} is also necessary to take off the bandage and
gently wash the injury every day. Watch for {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sign) of infection. If it appears
to be worsening or becomes swollen or red, see a doctor right away to treat the
infection.
