Sometime today—perhaps several times—Dick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.

Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours and laughter every day.

The young man saved Winter's life by signing an organ donor card(器官捐獻(xiàn)卡).

“I can't say thank you enough,” Winter said yesterday at a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.

What Winter knows of the 19?year?old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate

 his organs for transplantation.

His liver(肝臟) went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble. “Not a day goes by that I don't think of what a painful thing it must have been for them，”Winter said yesterday.

“They are very, very special people.”

Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to

 collect some more next year in Japan.

“At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it's expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better.”

The biggest change for Winter, however, isn't that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about

his life now.

“I have no time for arguments,” said Winter.

“You change everything. Material things don't mean as much. Friendships mean a lot.”

Also at yesterday's news conference was Dr Gray Levy, Winter's doctor.

Levy said he has bitter?sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.

Levy knows that for every recipient(接受者) like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren't enough donated organs.

“For every Mr Winter,we have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr Winter was given，” Levy said.

Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive 10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors' families.

1.Which of the following is true about the 19-year-old?

A.He died of liver trouble.

B.He got wounded in a battle.

C.He was willing to donate his organs.

D.He became a recipient of a prize.

2.What do we learn about Dick Winter?

A.He is becoming less competitive now.

B.He is always thinking about his early life.        

C.He knows all about the young man and his family.

D.He values friendships more than material things. 

3.Dr Levy would agree that ________.

A.Spanish hospitals have more favorable conditions for organ transplant

B.the Canadian public have realised the importance of organ donation

C.Spanish hospitals received more money from the donors

D.Canadian hospitals now have enough donated organs

4.What's the author's purpose in writing this article?

A.The public should give more support to organ transplant.

B.Transplant patients are thankful for the help they receive.

C.Transplant can change a patient's life greatly.

D.It is not easy to get organs for transplant.

The Friends of the Amazon is a nonprofit association helping to preserve the forest, its wildlife and its native cultures in the Peruvian Amazon.  We are located 3 degrees south of the equator in the Region of Loreto, which is roughly the size of Montana and is one of the richest areas in the world in terms of flora(植物群) and fauna（動(dòng)物群）. Our team consists of lawyers, ecologists, sociologists, medical professionals and native Amazonians working together to protect the forest and its people from destruction. We use litigation（訴訟）, filing lawsuits against those who seek to destroy the forest and its native cultures. In addition to legal processes, we promote health, education, and the conservation of native plants and animals.
The Amazon Rainforest is commonly referred to as the "lungs of the planet" whose trees are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2, a greenhouse gas that causes global warming) and converting it into oxygen, thereby mitigating the rise of global temperatures and climate change.  An estimated 120 billion tons of carbon dioxide is absorbed in the Amazon Rainforest and global emissions of carbon dioxide increase with every tree of the rainforest that is cut down. That is why the survival of the Amazon Rainforest is vital for the survival of our planet, without which rising global temperatures could melt the polar icecaps and cause flooding of our coastal cities. 
Currently, the Amazon is under siege（圍攻）, with an estimated 1000 hectares being destroyed everyday.  After harvesting old growth forests, corporations are often replacing the native forest with palm oil plantations instead of reforesting with native tree species.  Palm oil trees are native to Africa, not the Amazon, and due to high profits, their promotion by international aid agencies and recent legislation in Peru, palm oil plantations represent perhaps the single greatest threat to the native Amazon Rainforest. 
In addition to conventional logging and deforesting to make room for crops such as palm oil and soybeans, the Amazon forest faces a new threat in the form of REDD projects and “Carbon Cowboys”.  REDD refers to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation by using carbon offsets (“carbon credits”).  Under the guise of REDD projects, scammers are tricking native communities into signing unjust contracts in English without legal representation which essentially give these so called Carbon Cowboys the forest for free. These cheaters are making false promises of "billions of dollars in profits" from REDD and voluntary carbon offset （碳補(bǔ)償）projects by lying that they are representatives of the United Nations and World Bank in order to trick vulnerable indigenous Amazonians into ceding their land by signing unjust contracts with hidden clauses that give the Carbon Cowboys a power of attorney to do whatever they want with the forest for a period of 100 years.  Friends of the Amazon is actively filing lawsuits against these Carbon Cowboys and those who support them.
