Question

Q1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: 1.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 or salt is lost through excessive sweating following strenuous exercise. When the body becomes overheated and cannot eliminate this excess heat, exhaustion and heat stroke are possible. 2.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 lie down, raising the feet 8 to 12 inches, applying cool, wet cloth to the skin and giving the victim sips of salt water (1 teaspoon per glass, half a glass every 15 minutes) over an hour’s period. 3.Heat stroke is much more serious. It is an immediate life-threatening situation. The characteristics of heat stroke are high body temperature (which may reach 106 degree F or more), a rapid pulse, hot dry skin and a blocked sweating mechanism. Victims of this condition may be unconscious and first-aid measures should be directed at quickly cooling the body. 4.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. Fans 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 degree F. 2. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke occur when (1 Point) a person moves to a cold place. the body is at rest. the body becomes overheated and cannot eliminate excess heat. a person is overworked and has no balanced diet . 3.The human body can tolerate (1 Point) small range of temperature. wide range of temperature.
