15．When you cut your skin，you bleed （流血）．If a person loses a lot of blood，he will become ill and may die．Blood is very important．People have always known that．At one time，some people even drank blood to make them strong!
     When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body，they try ways of giving blood to people who need it．They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it．This is called"blood transfusion"．The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person．
     But there are two problems．First，it does not always work．Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion．Later，doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood．There are four groups-O，A，B and AB．We all have blood of one of these groups．They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB．But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people．I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely．
     There is another problem．To give blood of the right kind，doctors have to find a person of the right blood group．Often they can not find a person in time．If they have a way to keep the blood until someone'needs it，they can always have the right kind of blood．At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days．They do this by making it very cold．Then they find how to keep it longer．In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time．
     We call a place where we keep money a"bank"．We call a place where we keep blood a"blood bank"．One day，when you grow up，you may decide to give blood to a"blood bank"．In this way you may stop someone from dying．Or perhaps one day you may become ill．You may need blood．The"blood bank"will give it to you．

14．In order to know a foreign language thoroughly，four things are neccessary．Firstly，we must understand the language when we hear（61）itspoken..Secondly，we must be able to speak it correctly with confidence and without hesitation．（62）Thirdly，we must be able to read the language，and fourthly，we must be able to write it．We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct．

11．Luka Tavcar，12，has muscular dystrophy （肌肉萎缩症） and is totally dependent on his wheelchair．However，late last year，he hatched an inspired plan：to be photographed walking around and having fun．
He approached Matej Peljhan，an amateur photographer and a psychologist at CIRIUS rehabilitation （康复） center near Ljubljana，Slovenia，where Luka is a patient．
At first，Peljhan was perplexed．How could he photograph a boy who can not move or act in motion （运动）？"Luka wanted to see himself playing and having fun，but it seemed impossible，"he says．
Then Peljhan had a brainstorm：Luka could lie down on a piece of cloth and an assistant could help Peljhan pose （使…摆好姿势） the boy as if he were jumping，climbing stairs，moving downhill on a skateboard，and playing basketball．Then Peljhan would shoot these images from above．The photos took about a month to produce； all were shot early this year．
Peljhan，who lost his right arm and left eye as a child，says his own disabilities motivated him to make the photographs．"I understand people with limitations，"he says．
He named the series"The Little Prince"after the French story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery in which a boy teaches a man about trust，hope，and friendship．Luka loves the photos．
"Luka wants to stay positive and his imagination helps him forget his physical limitations，"says Peljhan．"He's fragile，but he can see the world differently．"
