Practice Listening

Cảm ơn chị Maroon nhé. Hôm nay em lười quá, không nghe được thêm đoạn nào, thôi để mai vậy. Nhưng cho em hỏi sao âm "theta" trong từ cloth và trong từ death sao em nghe như là âm " f ", có phải là có biến âm gì đặc biệt không? Hai từ này tương đối quen mà em nghe đi nghe lại vẫn không nhận ra được.

Cám ơn chị Maroon đã sửa bài giùm em nhé. Hic hic em muốn nghe mà cũng không nghe nổi vì bận quá nữa. Em đang làm đồ án tốt nghiệp mà.

This is Science in the News in VOA Special English. I?Tm Barbara Klein. And I?Tm Doug Johnson. On our program this week, we tell about some emergency medical treatments known commonly as First Aid.
First Aid is the kind of medical care given to a victim of an accident or sudden injury before trained medical help can arrive. First Aid treatments are generally easy to carry out. They can be touch taught to people of all Asia ages. Learning them is important. Knowing how to treat someone in an emergency can mean the difference between life and death.
Each year, thousands of people die after eating or drinking poisonous substances. Experts say most of accidental poisonings take place in or near the home. Most poisonings result from substances commonly used at home. They include medicines, insect?Ts poisons or cleaning liquids.
Science Signs (ai cũng sai chỗ này nghe) of poisoning includes an such as a sudden feeling of paint or sickness, burns in or near the mouth, or an unusable unusual smell coming from the mouth. Health experts generally advise poisoned victims to drink water or milk. They say, however, to never give liquids to someone who is not awake or to those having of a violent reaction to the poison.
Next, seek help from a medical expert. Save material expelled from the mouth for doctors to examine. Save the container of suspected poison to answer questions doctors may have. The container may also describe the substance that hosts halts the effects of the poison. Use this substance without delay.
In the past, medical experts told people to get the poison victim to expel all the materials from the stomach, or vomit. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggested the use of a substance called ?oIpecac? syrup to do this. But the experts changed their advice in 2003 because of a lack of evidence that vomiting helps people who eat or drink a poisonous substance. They now say: ?oDo not use Ipecac or anything else to get the victim to vomit?.
Many emergency medical methods are simple and easy to carry out. For example, several years ago a five years old boy in the American state of Massachusetts was playing with a young friend. Suddenly, the friend stopped breathing. A piece of candy was stuck in her throat. The boy remembered a television program where the same thing had happened. He also remembered what people did on the program to help the person who had stopped breathing. The boy quickly used the same method on his friend. The candy threw out of the gross girl''''s throat. She was breathing again. The young boy had saved his friend?Ts life.
The five years old (đây là cụm tính từ bổ nghĩa cho N boy nên ko thể có ''''s'''' trong từ year được) boy used a simple method called ?oThe Heimlich maneuver?, an American doctor Henry Heimlich developed the method. The Heimlich maneuver can be done in several ways. If a strocking choking victim is sitting or standing, the user you should stand directly behind him or her. Put your arms around the victim?Ts waist. Make one of your hands into the shape of elbow a ball, and places it over the top part of the stomach, below the wrist ribs. Next, place the other hand on top of it and push in and upward shortly. Repeat the motion until the object is expelled.
A First Aid method?Ts called ?oCardiopulmonary Resuscitation?, or CPR, can save the victims of heart-attacks, drawning or shock. These people are suffering from what is called ?oCardiac arrest?, their hearts have stopped breathing beating (tim đập chứ không thở em ạ ).
CPR is designed to increase the natural working of a person?Ts heart and lungs. Experts say it greatly increases the chances that a heart-attack victim will survive. If you see the victim of ?oCardiac Arrest?, first position the victim?Ts head and neck so that the air passengers passages are opened and not blocked. If the person is not breathing, start a method called ?oMouth to mouth resuscitation?. Restrict the flow of air through the victim?Ts nose as you place your mouth over the victim?Ts mouth. Blow into the victim?Ts lungs (phổi người luôn ở số nhiều). The first two suppress such breaths should continue for about one and a half seconds each.
If there is no heartbeat, attempt to restart the victim?Ts heart by pushing down on the person?Ts chest. Place one hand over the other and push firmly on the victim?Ts breastbone. Push down about 5 centimeters at a rate?Ts of about 80 and 100 times each minute. If you are working alone, you must do both jobs. Breathe two times into the victim?Ts mouth for every 50 15 times you push down on the chest.
The American Medical Association says that only people trained to perform CPR should do it. (nhớ câu này nha em, đừng có làm bậy đó ) Experts say it is important for people to get this training from local hospitals or the international records Red Cross.
In the United States, CPR training includes the use of a protected cloth or mask over the mouth. This helps to prevent disease from spreading during mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Several trainers tell people not to perform mouth-to-mouth on some victims. They say do it only if you are sure the person is not suffering from AIDS (bệnh sida đó nha) or diseases such as Hepatitis or Tuberculosis. They also may say only perform mouth-to-mouth on a stranger if you have a CPR mask with you.
Another emergency treatment for a heart problem is a computer-like device called ?oAn Automatic External Defibrillator?. Defibrillators treats and uses an irregular heartbeat that can cause ?oSudden Cardiac Death?. These devices usually provide directions for their uses, and now can be found in many airports or public places. Defibrillators should be used only on people more than 8 years old. Most CPR training now includes guidance in the use of the devices.
Medical experts says even the smallest cut in the skin permits bacteria to enter the body. So they urge correct treatment for all wounds. If the bleeding is not serious, the wound should be cleaned with soap and water. Then cover the wound with a clean cloth, gauze and other kinds of material. If the bleeding doesn?Tt stop quickly or the wound is large, put pressure directly on it. Place a clean cloth on the wound and hold it firmly in place. A hand may be used if a cloth can not immediately be found. If the bleeding still does not stop, push the supplying blood vessel against a nearby bone. This still may not stop all the bleeding, so also put pressure directly on the wound.
Two places on each side of the body often are useful in this kind of situation. These places are called ?oPressure points?. If an arm or hand is bleeding, the Pressure point is on the inner part of the upper arm between the elbow and the shoulder. Bleeding from a leg wounded can be slowed by pressure to the blood vessel at the front, in a inner part of the upper leg.
If an arm or leg is seriously damaged, a device called ?oa tourniquet? may be used to stop the bleeding. It should be used only when the bleeding threatens the victim?Ts life. A tourniquet can be made with any flat material about 50 millimeters wide. It could be a piece of cloth or armband a belt. However, a robe or wire should never be used because they can damage the skin.
Place the material around the arm or leg between the wound and the body and tighten tie the ends together. Place a stick in a tighten ? the tied knot. Turn the stick slowly until the flow of blood stops. The stick can be held in place by another piece of cloth. A tourniquet can be left in place for one to two hours without causing damage.
If the wound is thought to be infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can suppress spread the infection. Treat the wound with the mixture of soap and water until medical help arrives. Add 9 and one half milliliters of salt to each litter of boiled water. Place a clean cloth in the mixture, then remove the extra water from the cloth and put it on the wound. Be careful not to burn the skin.
People with no medical education can perform the First Aid method described in this program. But experts say some training is designable desirable. This?Tll help make sure the methods are performed safely and effectively. Groups such as the ?oRed Cross? all spread questions or the Red Crescent teach First Aid skills in many parts of the world. To learn more, talk with health experts in your area.

I''m Steve Ember with "In the News" in VOA special English.
Gaza is a small area on the Me***erranean Coast. It is long but narrow. Israel has captured the Gaza strip from Egypt in the 1967 war. It also captured the West Bank from Jodan. The war lasted 6 days. It began when Arab countries attacked Israel.
More than one million Palestinians live in Gaza. So do around eight thousand five hundred Jewish settlers. Next week the Isreali government want them leave their twenty one settlements. Thousands of Isreali troops and police will help the settlers move out. After Wednesday the troops will use force to remove any who stay. Soldiers will destroy all of the houses. The Palestinians want to build their own. However, on Friday, an Isreali Economic Cooperation Group announced a deal. Officials say the settlers agree to sell most of the structures in which they grow plants on their farms. American special representative James Wolfenson collected about fourteen million dollars to buy the green-houses for the Palestinians. He is the former president of the World Bank.
Conservative and religious political parties in Israel oppose the withdrawal from Gaza. Opponents say Israel will not be any safer from attack. Earlier this month, Benjamin Netanyahu resigned as finance minister in protest. Opponents say the land is part of what they called ?oGreater Israel?. They say God promises it to the Jew. Yet, public opinion reseach showed that sixty percent of the people in Israel support the widrawal.
Under the plan, the Palestinian National Authority lead by Mahmoud Abbas will govern the territory. A special force trained by Egypt is to keep order. Officials say, the biggest change will be the end for the travel restrictions in occupied Gaza. But Israel will continue to control the border, coast and air space. Prime minister Ariel Sharon annouced the widrawal plan in December of 2003. He said it would strengthen Israeli security, ease the responsibilities of the Israeli defend forces and reduce tensions with the Palestinians. But Isreali say real peace negotiations can begin only when Palestinian officials disarm groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Palestinians hope for an independent nation with Jesusalem as the capital. Yet many see the Gaza withdrawal only as the way for Israel to increase control of the West Bank.
The West Bank has two hundred fourty thousand Isreali settlers and more than two million Arabs. Four small settlements in the West Bank are to be removed under the withdrawal plan. Prime minister Sharon said the major ones will stay. But he suggested in comment reported Friday that more settlers could leave in the future. In Gaza city on Friday, Palestinean officials held a big celebration of the withdrawal just days away.
