    　　A grown-up person has ten Or eleven pints(品脱) of blood inside his or her body. We can lose a pint of blood without feeling anything, but if we lose a great deal of blood, we feel weak and cold. Our faces become pale. We may die.

    　　This is what often happens when somebody is hurt in an accident(事故)or a soldier is hurt in a battle. Many people used to die in this way. But nowadays(当今) they can be taken to the hospital. If they are given more blood at once, they will feel better. Their faces are no longer pale. They do not die.

    　　Where does this blood come from? People who are healthy give some blood so that it can be used in this way. Every three months they go to a place where blood is collected. A special kind of needle(注射针) is put into the arm. It does not hurt. The blood runs through the needle and through a rubber tube (胶管) into a bottle. A pint of blood is taken in this way. Then the person who has given the blood drinks a cup of tea or coffee. He sits down for a few minutes. Then he feels quite well and goes off. Three months later he comes back and gives another pint.

    　　A person who gives blood in this way feels happy. He knows that his blood will be used to save someone’s life. Perhaps one day he himself will need blood.

    　　When you are older, you may decide to give blood in this way. But you cannot do this until you are eighteen.

    　　Lisa is ten years old. She is handicapped(残疾) because she has brain damage. She could not do even the most simple thing until a year ago. She could not comb her hair or feed herself. Her parents loved her. But they treated her like baby.

    　　Mr Ching has a daughter and a son. They are both grown. They live far from their father. Mr Ching felt lonely. He decided to do something about it. He decided to become a foster grandfather to a handicapped child. And that was how he met Lisa.

    　　Foster grandparents are grandparents who are not related by birth. But foster grandparents love the children they care for. They love them just as natural grandparents love their grandchildren.

    　　The foster grandparents also help the handicapped children in special ways. They help to dress and feed the children. They read to them and tell them stories. They also help with the handicapped children's therapy. Therapy is the treatment of a disease or disorder. It helps the children overcome their handicaps.

    　　Mr Ching became a foster grandparent to Lisa when she was nine years old. At first, Lisa was shy. She was afraid because Mr Ching was a stranger. But he came to see her every day. Gradually, she began to trust him.

    　　At last Lisa let Mr Ching do things for her. He came at lunch time and fed her. One day he handed her the spoon and guided it to her mouth. He told her she must learn to feed herself.

    　　“Most of that lunch ended up on us instead of in Lisa's mouth,”Mr Ching remembers.“But it was a start for Lisa. She learned to feed herself in a few months.”

    　　Then Lisa was ready for more therapy, thank to Mr Ching. She had learned to do one simple thing. She could learn to do other simple things. Mr Ching was trained to help with Lisa's therapy.

    　　To become foster grandparents, people must be at least sixty years old and in good health. They must be willing to give their time to handicapped children. They are volunteers, so they are not paid. They are given money for expenses, such as transportation.

    　　Mr Ching speaks for most foster grandparents when he says,“We all benefit. The handicapped children benefit because we help them live more useful lives. And we benefit because we know the children need us and love us. For any person, there's no greater happiness than that!”

    　　Increasing fluid intake(摄入量)by about a liter per day appears to have no negative effects on healthy older men．Dutch researchers report．

    　　Dr．Mark G．Spigt of Maastricht University and his colleagues note that older people are often dehydrated(脱水)，partly because their sensation of thirst may be slow．On the other hand, the elderly can easily become overly hydrated, because their kidneys(肾)tend to work less efficiently．Keeping extra water reduce the level of sodium(钠)in the body, which can have serious consequences．

    　　To investigate the general effects of increased fluid intake, the researchers examined data from a study involving 141 healthy men aged between 55 and 75．In random(随意的)order they were either advised to increase their water intake by a liter and a half per day, or were given a spoonful of syrup(糖浆)per day．

    　　After 6 months, the men urged to drink more water had managed to boost their daily fluid intake by an average of about a liter per day．There were no significant differences between the two groups in blood pressure or sodium level．

    　　The researchers thus concluded that the advice to increase fluid intake had no negative effects．

    　　Summing up, Spigt added,“It seems unreasonable to worry about the harmful effects of drinking extra water, he warned,”This does not mean that one can drink too much．Extreme intakes of water-more than 10 liters–can be harmful．

    partly because their feeling of thirst may be slow．

    　　People can be addicted to different things, e．g．alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television．People who have such an addiction are compulsive(难以抑制的); i．e．, they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy．According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders; they feel that they must spend money．This compulsion, like most others, is irrational-impossible to explain reasonably．For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money．In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything．Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasures than they get from the things they buy．

    　　There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting．To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts．Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don't need just because they are cheap．They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game：when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning．Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior：a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason．

    　　It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people．Stores, companies and advertisers use psychology to increase business：they consider people's need for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods．

    　　Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy” to help individuals solve their personal problems．In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money．

    entirely with an irrational eagerness

    (2)

    [　　]

    because they want to save money to help their budgets

    B．

    because they can have the feeling of winning others in getting things for less money

    C．

    and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budget

    D．

    but they often admit they feel dissatisfied if they can get things for less money than others

    　　News that Microsoft was making a ＄44.6 billion bid to buy Yahoo was greeted with heated discussion by many Internet users on Friday．Here are some responses：

    　　Mark Galeassi of Kansas City, Missouri

    　　This is the best move for both parties．Yahoo has the ideas and Microsoft has the money to finally market these ideas correctly．Microsoft and Yahoo are a perfect fit and the deal will be good for consumers．

    　　Scott G of New Jersey

    　　I was a Yahoo user for years along with Hotmail from Microsoft．Then Google came along：Google Earth, Google Toolbar and Gmail．Google is so innovative(创新的)with everything they do．Yahoo and Microsoft…same old story…I don’t think the merger(合并)will do anything for either company except improve the Yahoo shareholders’ bank accounts．

    　　Michael Glosser of Estero, Florida

    　　Right now, Yahoo offers a lot of features and tools at no cost for all different levels of Internet users．Microsoft seeks nothing but profit．Undoubtedly, they’ll do nothing other than find ways to start removing Yahoo’s formerly non-priced features．Microsoft’s greed will ruin the great thing that Yahoo currently is．

    　　Toni Suarez of Hacienda Heights, California

    　　Perhaps it would bring better high technology innovations to e-mail and help in researching and developing a better Internet!

    　　Antonio Simmons of Parkville, Maryland

    　　Microsoft purchasing Yahoo would be nothing more than an attempt from Microsoft to further impose upon the users their poor-quality software and obtain more wealth for the company．In my opinion, they will never be able to compete with Google because Yahoo and Microsoft’s current search engines are too inferior(差的)to compete．Even if combined, they still lack．

    (1)

    Who is in favor of the merger of Microsoft and Yahoo?

    [　　]

    A．

    Antonio Simmons．

    B．

    Michael Grosser．

    Scott G．

    the merger will contribute to Microsoft

    B．

    Yahoo and Microsoft are lacking in innovation

    C．

    Google is getting short of management experience

    A．

    the merger will cost Yahoo’s free features

    B．

    the merger will lead to Microsoft’s defeating Yahoo

    C．

    the increased competition will force Google out of the game

    D．

    Internet users will have to buy Microsoft’s expensive software

    (4)

    What is Antonio Simmons’ attitude towards Google?

    [　　]

    Doubtful．
