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 (输血) if the blood is too different from his own.

There are four basic types of blood A. B. A B. and O. Blood type, like hair and height, comes from parents. Basically, A and B can not be mixed. AB, sometimes called the universal recipient (万能受血者), may receive A or B,. O type, often called the universal donor (万能输血者), 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 (国籍). Among Europeans, about 42 % have type A while 45 % have type O. The fewest is the type B.

1.Which of the following show the correct relationship in blood transfusion ("→"means giving blood to...)?

   

A.                 B.                 C.                 D.

2.Usually person who has been injured and lost too much blood should be given a blood transfusion______.

       Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes.To some degree our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence.On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with.The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different.If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other.Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments.We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring.We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.   

1.Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para.1?  

       A.To some degree, intelligence is given at birth.  

       B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.  

       C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.  

       D.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

2.It is suggested in this passage that_______.  

A.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence  

B.close relations usually have similar intelligence  

C.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence

       D.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees    of intelligence

3.In Para.1, the word "surroundings" means_______.               

       A.intelligence                                   B.life                

       C.environments                                D.housing

4.The best title for this article would be_______.                        

       A.On Intelligence                         

       B.What Intelligence Means                

       C.We are Born with Intelligence             

       D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence

     Proverbs are quite common in spoken English. We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter.
Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples.
     1) "Once bitten, twice shy." If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This
proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you
will not go the same shop again.
     2) "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to
catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have
already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.
     3) "Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup)". When too many people do something, they get in each other's
way and do a bad job.
     4) "To pour oil on troubled waters" is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in
trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people.
However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.
     5) "Don't be a dog in a manger( 槽 )" means " Don't be selfish." In a stable ( 马房 ), the manger is the
place where the horse's food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes
to get its food. The dog does want to eat the lay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.
     6) "He is sitting on the fence" means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against
it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.
     7) "He who pays the piper calls the tune." A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician
can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say
how it will be carried out.
     8) "You can't get blood out of a stone" means that you cannot get something from a person who has not
got any of the things you want. e. g. you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.
1. Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother
    ride on it. His mother is angry and says to him: ______.
A. You can't get blood out of a stone
B. Don't be a dog in a manger
C. The early bird gets the worm
D. To pour oil on troubled waters
2. Mr. Wang paid for a new school. Some people didn't like the design of the school but they
    didn't argue with Mr. Wang because ______.
A. he was sitting on the fence
B. once bitten, twice shy
C. he who pays the piper calls the tune
D. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
3. Mrs. Lin wanted to buy a new dress. Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home.
    Mrs. Lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. So she said: "I won't go there again
     because ______." 
A. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
B. I am sitting on the fence
C. once bitten, twice shy
D. too many cooks spoil the broth
4. Mr. Brown had quite a good job in Hong Kong but he thought that if he went to Singapore, he might
    get a much better job with more money and a larger house. His wife didn't want him to leave his job
     in Hong Kong and she reminded him that ______.
A. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
B. too many cooks spoil the broth
C. you can not get blood out of a stone

C

  When did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.

  Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

  The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."

51. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____ .

 A. they should be easy to make friends with

 B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months

 C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February

 D. they must reach the age of 60

52. Doctors _____ .

 A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively

 B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming

 C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer

 D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming

53. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____ .

 A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

 B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

 C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

 D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

54. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____ .

 A. they can remain young   B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter
