     About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a
Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE,
which was only two months old. 　　
     He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought
he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the
Jag's shiny black side door! SCREECH…!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the
kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, "What was that all about and who
are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!" Building up a head of steam, he went on."That's my new
Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?" 　　
     "Please, mister, please… I'm sorry! I didn't know what else to do!" begged the youngster. "I threw
the brick because no one else would stop!" tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed
around the parked car."It's my brother, mister," he said."He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his
wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, "Would you please help me
get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me." 　　
     Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his
throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and
wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the
younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home. 　　
     It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE-a long and slow walk. Josh
never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent (凹痕) to remind him not to go through life
so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming
at you.

A. b, a, c, e, d
B. a, c, d, b, e

B. The two kids were Josh's neighbors.

　　Do you know blood types?

　　Special care must be taken in selecting new blood for a badly injured person, who would be killed by the transfusion if the blood is too different from his own.

　　There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. Blood type, like hair and height, comes from parents. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A or B cannot receive AB, but AB, sometimes called the universal recipient, may receive A or B O type, often called the universal donor, gives his blood to any other group. Patients usually receive nothing but salt or plasma(血浆) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans, about 42 percent have type A while 45 per cent have type O. The fewest, is the type AB.

1．Which of the following shows the correct relationship in blood transfusion?

　　We’ve all seen them：perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles(腹肌)．It’s easy! Just pay ＄149.99 for the Torso Track or ＄149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist．Americans spend tens of millions of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist．And did they work? Not necessarily．Independent studies have concluded that most of these products－no matter who approved them or how expensive they are－shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐)．Some can even cause injury－like the ＄518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse．Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise．

　　The fact is that many Americans don’t have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles．They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can’t lose enough fat to make a difference．Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of an inch of fat．That’s enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day．

　　So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer．A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets．” Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements．He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises．They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer．

　　Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles．They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time．Among the winners：the bicycle movements－so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor－and exercises performed on the “Captain’s Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest．Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results．

(1)

Which of the following is the most effective in building abdominal muscles?
[　　]
A．	Torso Track．
B．	Ab-Doer．
C．	Captain’s Chair．
D．	Body Shaper-Q8SP．

(2)

According to the author, it’s difficult for many Americans to get visible firm abdominal muscles mainly because _______．
[　　]
A．	they do not put in enough efforts
B．	injuries interrupt their exercise frequently
C．	they change their exercise routine regularly
D．	how big their muscles will be is determined by birth

(3)

The author convinces the readers by ________．
[　　]
A．	describing successful cases
B．	offering professional suggestions
C．	presenting findings of researches
D．	comparing advertisements of products

(4)

What’s the main purpose of this passage?
[　　]
A．	To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine．
B．	To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements．
C．	To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection．
D．	To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research．

Some researchers claim that people's personalities can be classified by their blood types. If you have
blood type O, you are a leader. When you see something you want, you strive to achieve your goal. You
are passionate, loyal, and self-confident, and you are often a trendsetter. Your enthusiasm for projects
and goals spreads to others who happily follow your lead. When you want something, you may be
ruthless about getting it or blind to how your actions affect others. Another blood type, A, is a social,
"people" person. You like people and work well with them. You are sensitive, patient, compassionate,
and affectionate. You are a good peacekeeper because you want everybody to be happy. In a team
situation, you resolve conflicts and keep things on a smooth course. Sometimes type As are stubborn and
find it different to relax. They may also find it uncomfortable to do things alone.?
People with type B blood are usually individualists who like to do things on their own. You may be
creative and adaptable, and you usually say exactly what you mean. Also you can adapt to situations,
you may not choose to do so because of your strong independent streak. You may prefer working on
your own to being part of a team. The final blood type is type AB. If you have AB blood, you are a
natural entertainer. You draw people to you because of your charm and easygoing nature. ABs are
usually calm and controlled, tactful and fair. On the downside, though, they may take too long to make
decisions. And they may procrastinate, putting off tasks until the last minute.??
