Accidents often happen around us. So a first-aid kit (一套急救用品) is necessary. A first-aid kit is one of the most important things in every family. Making your own first-aid kit will help keep you and your family safe. You need to do the following things.
·Find a box
To find a box is the first thing. The box is large and strong enough to hold all the medical supplies (医用物品). You will put all the supplies inside.
·Prepare the supplies
After finding the box, it's time to prepare all the medical supplies. Having a first-aid kit will be useful during serious injuries and if you should take quick actions in time, it will be useful as well. So it is best to fill your kit with necessary things.
·Write important information
Once you have all the medical supplies, print first aid rules on how to stop bleeding (出血), how to call for help, and so on. You can also write down other helpful phone numbers besides 120 on your note.
·Pack (打包) your kit
Pack everything inside the box. Everything must be easy to find and reach at the same time.
A myth(传说) is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human brain. One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, we'll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it's not true! Tho truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function(功能). Modern scientists think the"10 percent myth" ridiculous(荒谬的). The other most popular myth is about being" right brained" or" left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally. It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more. We've talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It's also the fattest organ(器官) in your body. Here's one more interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing. |
