         About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project.All of them felt really desperate due to the
    pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of
    quitting their job.
        One day,one scientist came to his boss and told him,"Sir,I've promised to take my children to the
    exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 pm" His boss replied,"OK.You're permitted
    to leave the office early today."
         The scientist started working.He continued his work after lunch.As usual, he got involved to such an
    extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8:30 pm.
    Suddenly he remembered his promise to the children.He looked for his boss but he was not there.Having
    told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home.Deep within himself, he was feeling
    guilty for having disappointed his children.He reached home.The children were not there.His wife alone
    was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.The_situation_was_explosive；any_talk_would_boomerang_on_him.His wife asked him,"Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are
    hungry?" The man replied,"If you would like to have coffee, I will have too, but what about the children?"
    His wife replied,"You don't know?Your boss came here at 5:15 pm and has taken them to the exhibition."
         What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working
    seriously at 5:00 pm. He thought to himself:this person will not leave the work,but he's promised to take
    his children to the exhibition.So he took the lead in taking them there.The boss does not have to do it
    every time.But once it's done, loyalty is established.
         That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress
    was extraordinarily huge.By the way,can you boldly guess who the boss was?He was none other than
    the mastermind behind India's successful nuclear weapons program,Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam,former
    president of India.
    1. The scientist asked for an early leave because________.
    A. he felt increasingly desperate about his work
    B. he meant to accompany his wife at dinner
    C. the task at hand was close to completion
    D. he'd promised to take his kids to a show
    2. The underlined sentence implies that the scientist thought his wife was________.
    A. dissatisfied with his coming home late
    B. ready to serve dinner for him
    C. grateful to his kindhearted boss
    D. delighted to see him back home
    3. The boss took the children to the exhibition________.
    A. when it was too late for the scientist to do so
    B. because the scientist was absorbed in his work
    C. because he also wanted to see what was on show
    D. when the man's wife asked him to do so

    　　When you donate blood, a small amount is usually taken in advance to test your blood type．If you are O＋, the O is your ABO type and the＋is your Rh type．It is possible to be A,B,AB, or O as well as Rh＋or Rh-．

    　　The ABO system was discovered by Karl Landsteiner in the early 1900s．He was awarded the Nobel Prize for his achievements．There are four basic types of　blood in the ABO system：A,B,AB and O．Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood．We get blood type, just like hair color and height from parents．Because of the substances(物质)contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully．If two different blood types are mixed together, it may put a person into an extremely dangerous situation．Basically, A and B cannot be mixed．A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B．In an emergency, type O blood can be given because it is most likely to be accepted by all blood types，so it is often called the universal donor．However，there is still a risk．For the opposite reason，AB is sometimes called the universal receiver．However，because there can be so many reactions in transfusions，patients usually receive only salt until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of the hospital．

    　　There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality．Among the Europeans, about 45 percent have type O while 42 percent have type A．The rarest is type AB．Other races have different percentage．For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type out of 100 donors in the world．

    (1)

    Which of the following shown the correct relationships in blood transfusions?

    [　　]

    A．

    [　　]

    A．

    to put the blood into a container

    B．

    to move the blood from one place to another

    C．

    to put the blood of one person into the body of another

    D．

    to give power to another person

    (3)

    [　　]

    A．

    about the basic types of human blood

    B．

    what kind of blood is the most common

    C．

    阅读理解。
          Every year, World Blood Day is celebrated by blood services worldwide on 14 June, the birthday
    of Nobel Prize winner Karl Landsteiner, the man who discovered the ABO blood group system. If you
    have every thought of becoming a blood donor, just register to do it. And you should never worry about
    the donation.
         Just under a pint (around 470ml) of blood is taken at one sitting. This amount is no more than 13
    percent of your total blood volume, and is quickly replaced by your body.
         It may come as a surprise, but whole blood is only rarely used. Different blood components are used
    to treat a range of conditions. None goes to waste. Red blood cells are frequently used to replace heavy
    blood loss after an accident, surgery or childbirth. White blood cells and antibodies (抗体) are used to
    help people fight infections if their immune system doesn't appear to be responding to antibiotics (抗生
    素). Plasma (血浆), the straw-coloured fluid which carries the blood cells and contains proteins, are
    used to treat burned patients.
         First-time donors should be aged between 17 and 65, weigh at least 50kg and be in good health. If
    you have donated before, you can start being a donor again up to your 70th birthday.
         Although most people are able to give blood, some people who pose health risks or are at a higher
    risk of having come into contact with an infectious disease are no tasked to be donors. Pregnant women
    or those who have had a baby in the last 9 months should not donate blood.
         Blood has a very short shelf life. Some blood components can be kept longer than others, for instance
    red blood cells will keep for 35 days but platelets(血小板)for only five. Remember, you should wait at
    least 16 weeks before donating blood again.
    1. People should never worry about the donation mainly because _____.
    A. it causes no pain to their body
    B. being a blood donor is a great honor
    C. their bodies can produce new blood soon
    D. people have a mature research on it
    2. What component of blood is used to treat burned patients?
    A. Plasma
    B. Red blood cell
    C. Antibody
    D. White blood cell
    3. We can learn from the passage that _____.
    A. whole blood is most widely used in hospital
    B. platelets can be kept for more than 10 days
    C. people can donate their blood four times a years
    D. people can donate at most 470 ml of blood each time
    4. Who can donate their blood?
    A. A teenager who is studying in a primary school
    B. A mother who is about to give birth to a new baby
    C. An adult who smokes and drinks from time to time
    D. A man just coming back for a place suffering from malaria
    5. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
    A. To teach people how to be a blood donor
    B. To give people the knowledge of blood donation
    C. To advise people to benefit from blood donation
    D. To remind people of the importance of blood donation
