If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn't breathing. you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(倾斜) his head back and press his chin upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn't work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises. then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.

Defenders of special protective labor law for women often say that getting rid of such laws would destroy the fruits of a century-long struggle for the protection of women workers. Even a brief examination of the historic practice of courts and employers would show that the fruits of such laws have been bitter: they are, in practice, more of a misfortune than a blessing.
Sex-defined(性别限制的) protective laws have often been based on common beliefs concerning women’s needs and abilities and employers have frequently used them as legal excuses for looking down upon women. After the Second World War, for example, businesses and governments tried to persuade women to give up jobs in factories, thus making room in the labor force for returning soldiers. The passage of state laws limiting the daily or weekly work hours of women conveniently completed this. Employers had only to declare that overtime hours were a necessary condition of employment in their factory, and women could be quiet legally fired, refused jobs, or kept at low wage(工资) levels, all in the name of “protecting” their health. By proving such laws when they are questioned by lawsuits(诉讼), the courts have cheated people over the years in setting up different, less advantageous employment terms for women than for men, thus reducing women’s competitiveness on the job market. At the same time even the most good-hearted lawmakers, courts, and employers have often been blind to the real needs of women. The lawmakers and courts continue to permit employers to offer employees health insurance(保险)plans that cover all known human medical disabilities except those related to childbirth.
Finally, labor laws protecting only special groups are often ineffective at protecting the workers who are actually in the workplace. Some chemicals, for example, have reproductive(生殖的)risks for women of childbearing years; factory owners using the chemicals keep laws protecting women against these dangers by refusing to hire them. Thus the sex-defined law protects the supposed female workers, but has no effect whatever on the safety of any actual employees. The health risks to male employees in such industries can’t be too slight. Protective laws aimed at producing materials or techniques in order to reduce such dangers would benefit all employees without discriminating against any.
On the whole, protective labor laws for women are unfair and do not meet their intended purpose. Lawmakers should recognize that women are in the work force to stay and that their needs—good health care, an acceptable wage, and a safe workplace—are the needs of all workers. Laws that take no notice of these facts act against women’s rights for equal protection in employment.
6. According to the writer, which of the following resulted from the passage of the state laws limiting the work hours of women workers?
A. Women workers had to leave their jobs in factories.
B. Many employers had difficulty in providing jobs for returning soldiers.
C. Many employers found it hard to attract women workers.
D. The health of most women factory workers improved.
7. The writer places the word “protecting”(in paragraph 2) in quotation marks most likely in order to suggest that_______.
A. she is using the actual wording of the laws in question(正被谈到的).
B. the protective nature of the laws in question should not be doubted about.
C. protecting the health of workers is important for those who support protective labor laws.
D. the laws in question were really used to do harm to women workers, though said to be protective in public.
8. According to the passage, which of the following is a shortcoming of protective labor laws that single out(选出)a particular group of workers for protection?
A. Such laws are often too weak to be effective at protecting the group in question.
B. Such laws are usually made by those who do not have the best interest of workers at heart.
C. Such laws have no pressure on employers to get rid of dangers in the workplace.
D. Keeping such laws is often expensive for employers and makes the other workers angry.
9. According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following does the writer consider to be most helpful in determining the value of special protective labor law for women?
A. A study of patterns of work-related illnesses in the states that had such laws and in the states that did not.
B. A review of the fact that how many women workers are in favor of such laws.
C. A study of the cost to employers keeping such laws.
D. An examination of the actual effects that such laws have had in the past on women workers.
10. The main point of the passage is that special protective labor laws for women workers are_____.
A. unnecessary because most workers are well protected by existing labor laws.
B. harmful to the economic interests of women workers while offering them little or no actual protection.
C. not worth keeping even though they do stand for a hard-won result of the labor movement.
D. unfair because male workers receive less protection than they require.
