Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: 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, move 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 (the two holes at the end of your nose, through which you breathe and smell things) 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 professional help arrives. To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If, in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey colour, and you can feel no pulse , then pressing is the last chance of saving his life. With arms straight, rock forwards, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don't be too hard or you may break a rib. Check how effective you are by seeing if his colour improves or his pulse becomes independent to your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Otherwise continue until rescue arrives. Question: Which of the following statement is true? - Don't stop pressing his chest, if the drowning man starts breathing again. - If you see someone drowning, you must give him mouth-to-mouth breathing. - If a man does not breathe for four minutes, his brain will be completely destroyed. - When pressing, you can do it as hard as you can.
If a man does not breathe for four minutes, his brain will be completely destroyed.

The ride-sharing experience is about to get awkward. With the wide application of the Internet, Uber, a new approach to your destination instead of taking an ordinary taxi, has become more popular recently. However, benefits won't come without its fair share of drawbacks. Uber drivers are a part of the so-called sharing economy: They use their own vehicles, receive customer reviews via the app's five-star rating system and make their own hours. Unlike other services, Uber claimed that drivers all over the country could clearly alert customers that tipping is not included. Those drivers that expect to be tipped can make their wishes known. But the company is holding to its official no-tip-required line, according to its website. "Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file--There's no need to tip." Although drivers value their independence--the freedom to push a button rather than punch a clock, lack of a clear policy, however, leaves Uber drivers in a vulnerable position: If they ask a customer for a tip or put up a sign, that customer could give the driver a low star-rating, and the driver could finally be _ from the app. But has the company done a good job working with customers? Some observers say that this new grey area for tipping will create awkwardness about whether they should tip or not--something most Uber customers have not had to deal with until now. Uber did not respond to customers' comment, just leaving their rating in the air(ignoring it). Providing an option to tip on an app sends a clear message to customers to reach into their pockets. Nearly 30% people would be more likely to leave a tip if they were presented with a "no tip" button, according to Guinn's 2015 survey of roughly 500 people. When people are presented with three tip choices--20%, 25% or 30%--they're more likely to choose the middle option... Question: What causes the awkwardness between Uber drivers and their customers? - Customers take advantage of the new grey area for tipping. - There is no specific policy from the Uber to follow. - It's up to customers to decide the drivers' earnings. - Customers tend to pay least among the 3 choices.
There is no specific policy from the Uber to follow.
