if proper care isn't given immediately.

Sunstroke，sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above safe limits. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.

It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature.Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.

Call for help

Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted(昏倒). Also，call for help from anyone nearby if you're in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible，if there isn't much nearby.

Get the person to a cooler area

If there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioning and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well shaded area.

Get the water flowing

If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.

If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.

Fan the person

Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps，as they can combine to fan the entire body.

When she moved the covering cloth to look upon his tiny face，she was shocked.The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window.The baby had been born without ears.

Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect.When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother's arms，she sighed，knowing that his life was to be full of heart－breaks for his imperfect appearance.

He grew up，handsome for his misfortune and popular with his fellow students.He might have been class monitor，but for that．He developed a gift，a talent for literature and music.

Two years went by.One day，his father said to the son，“You're going to the hospital，son.Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need.But it's a secret.”The operation was a brilliant success，and a new person turned up.His talents blossomed into genius，and his school and college became a series of success.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service.

One day，he urged his father，“Who gave so much for me? I must know! I could never do enough for him.”

“I do not believe you could，” said the father，“but the agreement was that you

are not to know...not yet.”

The years kept their secret，but the day did come—one of the darkest days that a son must endure.He stood with his father over his mother's casket (棺材)．Slowly，tenderly，the father reached out a hand and raised the thick，reddish－brown hair to show that the mother had no outer ears.

“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，” he whispered gently，“and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful，did they？”

Real beauty lies not in the physical appearance，but in the heart.Real treasure lies not in what can be seen，but in what cannot be seen.Real love lies not in what is done and known，but in what is done and not known.

Eyes Can Speak

Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

16____In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.____17____Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.____18____If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.

However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener's eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking.____19____If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.____20____

Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations. A．On the contrary, it will give him away.
