Step 3 运用·读写整合

It？蒺s nice of you to put forward the question as to my attitude towards the new law. Firstly， it？蒺s necessary that they enact the law to protect our basic benefits in the gig economy because as  employees， freelancers are a weak side in the labor market. However， it remains to be seen whether the law will eventually work and benefit us instead of harming us. As you know， some employers may employ regular workers instead of employing us freelancers， with whom they can develop a steady relationship and determine the rights and duties because it is difficult for the law to actually supervise the labor market of freelancers. Consequently， some freelancers who rely on gig work might have their income reduced. Even worse is that some of us might be out of work.

To truly protect our benefits， all sides should make joint efforts. The government should improve the laws and regulations， eliminate the legal ambiguity zone， which is the key to the protection of the labor rights and interests of the freelancers. They should funda？鄄mentally make the legal relationship between the freelancers and the Internet platforms clear， and clarify the rights， responsibilities and obligations of both sides. As for the employers， they should strictly abide by the law and relate to us freelancers. And as for ourselves， we should improve ourselves to create and seize more opportunities in the fierce labor market. Above all， we should have a good command of the law to fully take advantage of it for our own rights.

生死急救

Paragraph 1： But they still had five more minutes until the emergency medical technician would arrive. Kimbro was worried that Ryleigh would fail to breathe again. He continued to press Ryleigh？蒺s chest and periodically clear her airway. “The whole time I was considering not to let this baby die in front of her mother and grandmother，” he said. “Just don？蒺t.” So he started rubbing and pressing her heart， and now he felt it. It became really strong then. His work eventually paid off.

Paragraph 2： Kimbro transferred Ryleigh to an emergency medical technician. He peeked into the windows of the ambulance until it pulled away. At the hospital， Ryleigh recovered quickly， and she was back to her usual active self in no time—thanks to a determined school resource officer who was in the right place at the right time. And to Kimbro，with a relief， he feels proud that he has  saved a life and it is an action of kindness yet with challenge and heroism.
