Most minor burns will heal on their own, and home treatment is usually all that is needed to relieve your symptoms(症狀) and promote healing. But if you suspect you may have a more severe injury(嚴重的受傷), use first-aid measures while you arrange for an evaluation(評估) by your doctor. First, stop the burning to prevent a more severe burn. Next, look for other injuries. The burn may not be the only injury. Remove any jewelry or clothing at the site of the burn. If clothing is stuck to the burn, do not remove it. Carefully cut around the stuck fabric to remove loose fabric. Remove all jewelry, because it may be hard to remove it later if swelling occurs.
If you are going to see your doctor soon: Cover the burn with a clean, dry cloth to reduce the risk of infection.
Do not put any medicine on the burned area, so your doctor can properly look at your burn. Do not put ice or butter on the burned area, because these measures do not help and can damage the skin tissue.

It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an
UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make the switch.” Before the woman could say anything, she turned to the black man and said, “Therefore, Sir, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we’d like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn’t want you to sit next to an unpleasant person.”

A recent survey conducted by the Department of Health showed that one out of every four junior high school students is overweight. The sample included about 4,400 junior high school students in Taiwan. It found that 35% of boys and 22% of girls are carrying excess kilos, setting themselves up for a host of future medical problems including diabetes. One culprit(肇因) is bad food. The survey also showed that sugar-based drinks are the choice of 80% of junior high school students at least twice a week. Exercise is a daily recommendation for children, but it claims 40% of kids in Taiwan are not even breaking a sweat three times a week.
Experts say the time for action has come: "Prevention is more effective than treatment. Since we know that being overweight is one of the risk factors for diabetes in children, we should take the problem seriously."

Taiwan should endeavor to nip obesity in the bud, before it's too late. – adapted from China Post 41. Which of the following is a contributing factor to obesity?
