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.

【Facts】信息与事实
今天的任务是练习全篇的句子，误差在1s以内
自己第一次读完一遍快了10s...还在继续练习
【Comments】感受与评价
可以纯粹的根据音标读出来，但是发现看音标读比看句子读的既视感更强，更会留意音标的发音规则，这应该是这一个月重点练习音标强化的结果。
今天S讲到读的时候要把握句子的1.节奏，2.强弱，3.升降调，一个字一个字蹦在脑海里，就像弹钢琴一样。有些句子中的强调的词要读的重一点，听到一个音要感觉到这是一场机械运动，presses同时收小腹。
学习就是一层一层打基础复利的模式，现在能不能读好就要看之前有没有用功，有没有持续练习。
两个层面的事情是相互加强的，最开始练单词，对句子没有感觉，练习句子时，再回去练单词，迭代作用后发音的提升感会更强烈。
before可以译成：在....之后
今天S放出来的强化训练才是英语的real world, 这才是标准语速..感觉难度好大，能听懂的词有限，还是这一个月练的VOA慢速比较和谐。。上一节刚被刷新三观，今天又被虐，S君是认真的嘛？...我们已经清醒的意识到自己到底有多菜了...会音标算什么，口译你会吗，标准语速你能听懂吗？还有更难得麽...总之再一次被打击深刻崩溃的认识到英语路上还有很长很长的路要走...
S说先练慢的，发好每一个音后再练快的，加快的目的是训练反应能力，加强听力。
今日一句：学习进步是一种演练，演练不能喜新厌旧，基本动作反复练习熟悉，入脑入心。
克服追求新鲜刺激的欲望。
