  About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college in New York, I was working as a practice student at my University's Museum of Natural History.One day while I was working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in wheelchair.

  As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was seated on her chair.I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and the trunk of the human body.She was wearing a little white dress with the patterns of red roses and yellow dots.

  As the couple wheeled her up to me I was looking down at the register.I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼示意).As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the most beautiful, largest smile I have ever seen.

  All of a sudden her handicap was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about.I immediately felt full of hope and confidence.She took me, a poor, unhappy college student, into her world, a world of smiles, love and warmth.

  That was ten years ago, but I still remember it clearly as if it happened just yesterday.I'm a successful business person now and whenever I get down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.

  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.
