1. Read the extract and answer the following questions:
The human body can tolerate only a small range of temperature, especially when the person is engaged in vigorous
activity. Heat reactions usually occur when large amount of water and/or salt are lost through excessive sweating
following strenuous excercise. When the body becomes overheated and cannot eliminate this excess heat, heat
exhaustion and heat stroke are possible.
Heat exhaustion is generally characterized by clammy skin, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, profuse perspiration, and
sometimes fainting ,resulting from an inadequate intake of water and the loss of fluids. First aid treatment for this
condition includes having the victim sips of salt water (1 teaspoon salt per glass, half a glass every 15minutes) over
a 1-hour period.
Heat stroke is much more serious; it is an immediate life- threatening situation. The characteristics of heat stroke
are a high body temperature (which may reach 106° F or more); rapid pulse; hot, dry skin; and blocked sweating
mechanism. Victims of this condition may be unconscious, and first aid measures should be directed at quickly
cooling the body. The victim should be placed in a tub of cold water or repeatedly sponged with cool water until
his or her temperature is sufficiently lowered. Fan or air conditioners will also help with the cooling process. Care
should be taken , however, not to over- chill the victim once the temperature is below 102°F.
