An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.
James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anaemia. He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies, including his own daughter, Tracey, who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
Mr. Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations. When he started donating, his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the “man with the golden arm” or the “man in two million”. He said: “I've never thought about stopping. Never.” He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13 litres of blood. “I was in hospital for three months,” he said. “The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18.”
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood. At the time, thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease. Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition. The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood. It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D. After his blood type was discovered, Mr. Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine. “They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,” he said. “I wasn't scared. I was glad to help. I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away.”
Mr. Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood. It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women. It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far. Mr. Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.
小題1:How old is James Harrison？
A．56B．70C．74D．78
小題2:What does the underlined phrase “two million” refer to?
A．babiesB．mothersC．dollarsD．a(chǎn)ll of the above
小題3:   Why did James decide to donate his blood? Because _____.
A．his daughter asked him to help her son
B．he has a golden arm worth a million dollars
C．a(chǎn) vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed
D．someone else’s blood saved his life
小題4:The sentence “The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood” (underlined in Paragraph 5) suggests that _____.
A．babies suffer permanent brain damage before born
B．the mother and the baby have different types of blood
C．Rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain damage
D．a(chǎn)ll the patients have a rare antibody in their blood
小題5:   What can we infer from the sixth paragraph?
A．Some of the tests to develop the vaccine are dangerous.
B．His wife Barbara needed to be taken care of badly then.
C．Mr. Harrison was glad to help develop a new vaccine.
D．His blood type was accidentally discovered after tests.

Sheep Smarter than Thought
London—Sheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.
Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces—which they think is a sure sign of intelligence.
Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes (電極) to measure their brain activity , which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years .
“If they can do that with faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else?” Kendrick said in an interview.
So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.
Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb (unable to speak, unintelligent) animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything.
“All animals, including humans, once they are frightened, don’t tend to show signs of intelligent action,” he explained.
In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.
“The most important finding (of the study) is that they are able , both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized , to remember a large number of individuals for a very long time,” said Kendrick. “It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.”
小題1:From the first paragraph we can find that______.         .
A．people used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals
B．people used to raise sheep in a wrong way
C．people don’t consider sheep as clever animals
D．people have done a lot of research on sheep
小題2:From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_____.         .
A．scientists have learned everything about sheep’s intelligence
B．scientists have learned a little about sheep’s intelligence
C．scientists can’t do anything more about sheep’s memory
D．scientists do not have to research animals’ memory
小題3:As is known in the passage,__________.
A．sheep are among the week animals
B．it is not right for people to raise sheep in groups
C．when sheep eat grass in the field their minds may be active
D．if people feel frightened, they may become braver

The Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.
More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghai-­based Wenhui Daily reported.
The World Health Organization predicted that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence (發(fā)生) of crime, drug­taking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.
Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable (不穩(wěn)定的) emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the one-­child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.
Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one-­child families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well­being. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling (咨詢) to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40­minute counseling lessons,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.
小題1: What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To urge awareness on mental health of the young.
B．To give details of the problems the Chinese youth are facing today.
C．To recommend that schools should invite more psychologists to help students.
D．To show us causes of the mental problems among students.
小題2: The underlined word “addressed” in the fourth paragraph most probably means ________.
A．talked aboutB．dealt withC．decidedD．introduced
小題3:From the passage we can know that the causes of mental problems are mainly the following EXCEPT ________.
A．one­-child policy
B．lack of ability to handle interpersonal relations well
C．lack of special training in mental health
D．heavy burden from study
小題4: We can learn that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth, ________.
A．special attention should be paid to the mental health of the young
B．psychologists must be a necessary part of schools
C．the government should cancel tests to ease the pressure on the students
D．parents must try their best to meet all the needs of their children
