     About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project.All of them felt really desperate due to the
pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of
quitting their job.
    One day,one scientist came to his boss and told him,"Sir,I've promised to take my children to the
exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 pm" His boss replied,"OK.You're permitted
to leave the office early today."
     The scientist started working.He continued his work after lunch.As usual, he got involved to such an
extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8:30 pm.
Suddenly he remembered his promise to the children.He looked for his boss but he was not there.Having
told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home.Deep within himself, he was feeling
guilty for having disappointed his children.He reached home.The children were not there.His wife alone
was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.The_situation_was_explosive；any_talk_would_boomerang_on_him.His wife asked him,"Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are
hungry?" The man replied,"If you would like to have coffee, I will have too, but what about the children?"
His wife replied,"You don't know?Your boss came here at 5:15 pm and has taken them to the exhibition."
     What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working
seriously at 5:00 pm. He thought to himself:this person will not leave the work,but he's promised to take
his children to the exhibition.So he took the lead in taking them there.The boss does not have to do it
every time.But once it's done, loyalty is established.
     That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress
was extraordinarily huge.By the way,can you boldly guess who the boss was?He was none other than
the mastermind behind India's successful nuclear weapons program,Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam,former
president of India.
1. The scientist asked for an early leave because________.
A. he felt increasingly desperate about his work

2. The underlined sentence implies that the scientist thought his wife was________.

　　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(物質(zhì))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．

(1)

Which of the following shown the correct relationships in blood transfusions?

[　　]

A．

B．

C．

D．

(2)

The underlined word “transfuse” most probably means ________．

[　　]

A．

to put the blood into a container

B．

to move the blood from one place to another

C．

to put the blood of one person into the body of another

D．

to give power to another person

(3)

The text mainly tells us ________．

[　　]

A．

about the basic types of human blood

B．

what kind of blood is the most common

C．

about Karl Landsteiner who won the Nobel Prize

D．

the relationship between blood type and nationality

閱讀理解。
      Every year, World Blood Day is celebrated by blood services worldwide on 14 June, the birthday
of Nobel Prize winner Karl Landsteiner, the man who discovered the ABO blood group system. If you
have every thought of becoming a blood donor, just register to do it. And you should never worry about
the donation.
     Just under a pint (around 470ml) of blood is taken at one sitting. This amount is no more than 13
percent of your total blood volume, and is quickly replaced by your body.
     It may come as a surprise, but whole blood is only rarely used. Different blood components are used
to treat a range of conditions. None goes to waste. Red blood cells are frequently used to replace heavy
blood loss after an accident, surgery or childbirth. White blood cells and antibodies (抗體) are used to
help people fight infections if their immune system doesn't appear to be responding to antibiotics (抗生
素). Plasma (血漿), the straw-coloured fluid which carries the blood cells and contains proteins, are
used to treat burned patients.
     First-time donors should be aged between 17 and 65, weigh at least 50kg and be in good health. If
you have donated before, you can start being a donor again up to your 70th birthday.
     Although most people are able to give blood, some people who pose health risks or are at a higher
risk of having come into contact with an infectious disease are no tasked to be donors. Pregnant women
or those who have had a baby in the last 9 months should not donate blood.
     Blood has a very short shelf life. Some blood components can be kept longer than others, for instance
red blood cells will keep for 35 days but platelets(血小板)for only five. Remember, you should wait at
least 16 weeks before donating blood again.
1. People should never worry about the donation mainly because _____.
A. it causes no pain to their body

A. Plasma
B. Red blood cell

A. whole blood is most widely used in hospital
B. platelets can be kept for more than 10 days
