Medium level Read the text. Choose the correct option. An ambulance is a type of vehicle made to carry sick or injured people. Normally, ambulances go to people in emergencies to take them to a hospital. Examples of emergencies include heart attacks, stokes, serious bleeding, broken bones, chest pain, serious head injuries, trouble breathing, and people injured in situations like car crashes and falls. The first ambulances were used on battlefields, when horse-drawn carts carried badly wounded soldiers to field hospitals after the battle. Horse-drawn ambulances became commonplace in Europe and North America in the 19th century, as hospitals became common. Automobiles replaced horses in the early 1900s. Today's ambulances are vans that are converted into small mobile clinics. They can provide first aid, emergency care, various medicines and life support, and carry patients to the hospital. Ambulances normally have emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics who work on them. They carry medicines and special equipment that can keep people alive. They also carry advanced tools for delivering babies in an emergency and restarting a heart. Ambulances are normally called by dialing a special emergency number, which is different from country to country. In the United Kingdom, this number is 999; in the United States, 911; and in Europe, 112. An emergency medical dispatcher then sends an ambulance. An ambulance usually has two crew members. That way, one can drive while the other looks after the patient in the back. A paramedic will have at least a year of medical training; and can do fairly advanced treatment. Not all ambulance staff are paramedics. Those with less training are known as emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in some countries, such as the United States, and emergency care assistants (ECAs) in the United Kingdom. In some countries, such as France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, ambulances may have doctors or nurses on board. Question 1. What is an ambulance used for? Question 2.
