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.

开头第一句还觉得信心满满，到了第二句这两个单词就让我读的嘴打颤了。
感受与评价（Comments）：
1.S老师今天的作业对比自己的录音与原音的差异：
（1）语调。语调一直是我的硬伤，读的过于平实，在口译群的两个月时间稍微有所好转，但还是听起来比较声音，相比原音降调不较多
（2）断句。有些地方断句不如原音流畅，该连贯的地方却让我断开了。
（3）节奏。比如said之后我可能紧接着读起来，或者留1s时间，感觉原文留了大概2-3s
（4）单词。相比原音我的单词熟练度简直是太差了，每个单词音标都查了一遍，读不到原文那么准确。而且有的不熟悉的单词自己容易一带而过的露音。
（5）重音。我好像没有太考虑重音问题，只关注了怎么能把音标先读好，重音不好应该也导致语调不好。
2.早上听了S老师的启动仪式，太逗了，既然有S老师这么好的平台，为什么还要自己苦哈哈的感动自我的练着呢。
统计累计的练习小时数（Hours）：
1.5小时（听了几遍原音+练习了两个单词+自己读了整篇几遍）
