A

Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened

parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful

substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These

are common causes of accidental poisoning.

In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of

whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything

that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the

victim. That way, doctors can examine it.

Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped

in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal

thrusts(腹部按压), which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing

person. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball. Place

it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other hand on top.

Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object

is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat, place your hands

a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.

Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that

abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method

could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should

be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.

To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or

Red Crescent Society for information. There may be training classes offered in your

area.

We don’t always get a second chance to achieve our dreams.But some people are

lucky，like Matthew McConaughey.Once almost unknown，the actor has recently found

himself back on the list of the best actors in Hollywood.His new movie Interstellar

is just another sign that his career reinvention has been an incredible success.“The

film relies on McConaughey’s performance to hold together the emotional story of a

father and his daughter against the background of space travel at the end of the

world，”Forbes commented.

But only years ago，the Texas native was often the butt of jokes(笑柄) about being

too handsome.In 1993，after meeting with director Richard Linklater，McConaughey

starred in Dazed and Confused.And a Hollywood career was born，mostly in romantic

comedies.For a long time，the whole world believed McConaughey was just a handsome

guy with comic talent.

But McConaughey stopped starring in that type of movie，and began to use his looks

differently.Slowly he built up his reputation as a serious actor.In 2020，McConaughey

was offered to play an AIDS activist in Dallas Buyers Club.The role saw the normally

muscular actor losing 50 pounds in order to appear sick.His performance won him an

Oscar for Best Actor.

The actor gave thanks to someone he has always looked up to as a hero during his

Oscar acceptance speech.When he was 15，the actor said，he decided that his hero would

be himself in 10 years.But 10 years later，he pushed the deadline ahead another

decade.Then 10 years later，another decade.“My hero’s always 10 years away，”he
