Donna Ashlock, a 14-year-old girl from California, was very sick. She had a bad heart. “Donna needs a new heart,” her doctor said, “she must have a new heart, or she will die soon.”
Felipe Carza, 15, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna’s friend. He liked Donna very much. He liked her freckles, and he liked her smile. Felipe didn’t want Donna to die.
Felipe talked to his mother about Donna. “I am going to die,” Felipe told his mother, “and I am going to give my heat to Donna.”
Felipe’s mother didn’t pay much attention to Felipe. “Felipe is just kidding,” she thought, “Felipe is not going to die. He’s strong and healthy.”
But Felipe was not healthy. He had terrible headaches sometimes. “my head hurts,” he often told his friends. Felipe never told his parents about his headaches.
One morning Felipe woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He was dizzy (眩晕的), and he couldn’t breathe. His parents rushed Felipe to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital had terrible news for them. “Felipe’ s brain is dead,” the doctors said, “we can’t save him.”
The parents were very sad. But they remembered Felipe’s words. “Felipe wanted to give his heart to Donna,” they told the doctors.
The doctors did several tests. Then they told the parents, “we can give Felipe’s heart to Donna.”
The doctors took out Felipe’s heart and rushed the heart to Donna. Other doctors took out Donna’s heart and put Felipe’s heart in her chest. In a short time the heart began to beat.
The operation was a success. Felipe’s heart was beating in Donna’s chest, but Donna didn’t know it. Her parents and doctors didn’t tell her. They waited until she was stronger; then they told her about Felipe. “I feel very sad,” Donna said, “but I am thankful to Felipe.”
Three months later the operation Donna went back to school. She has to have regular checkups, and she has to take medicine every day. But she is living a normal life.
Felipe’s brother John says, “Every time we see Donna, we think of Felipe. She has Felipe‘s heart in her. That gives us great peace.”

Understanding Graphics(图表)
When we are reading, we often see one or two graphics in a text. Have you ever thought about these questions: Why are they there? What information do they give? Do they help with our reading and understanding?
Graphics are things like pictures, maps, charts and tables. They give information to readers. Very often, we can see different kinds of graphics in books, magazines and newspapers. Writers use graphics to get the readers'attention and give them some particular(特别的)information. Graphics help to understand the given information in a text. And graphics put the information in a particular order so that it's easy to understand when we take a quick look.
It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But many things are easier to show than to tell and they may also be easier to understand. Graphics are just the right things that give a great deal of information but it doesn’t take much time to read and understand.
The right way to read and understand a graphic is to look at the picture and the words together. In a graphic, only a few words are used to explain what the picture shows you. Sometimes, numbers and percentages(百分比) are also given to go with the words to explain things.
Now look at the graphic on the right. It is how a researcher used a graphic to show the number of hours spent sleeping by British teenagers each day. Can you understand it?
1.Which of the following is mentioned as a graphic?
A. A letter.
B. A poem.
C. A map.
D. A name card.
2.The writer thinks graphics are important because ____________.

A. find out if there are any tables in it

Old Dawson had the best apples in town,but kids knew they mustn't go into his yard to pick a delicious apple,even off the ground,because Dawson,a bad-tempered(坏脾气的)man,they said,would come after you with his gun.
One Friday,12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy.They had to walk by Dawson's house on the way to Amy's house.Like most of the children,Janet was scared of the old man because of the stories she'd heard about him.
Amy said that Mr.Dawson wouldn't hurt anyone.Still,Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man's house.When they got close enough,Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉),but when he saw it was Amy,a big smile changed his whole face as he said,“Hello,Miss Amy.I see you've got a little friend with you today.”
