A

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.

Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

When I turned to Father for help, he would not interfere (干涉). Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.

At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, “ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.

In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).

The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.

Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.

Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day.

The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under trees. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry?

46. People once thought lightning came from ________.

A. the sky B. the gods C. the earth D. nature

47. According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?

A. Metal fences. B. Electricity. C. lightning rods. D. Machines.

48. Lightning can travel ________.

A. as quickly as water B. not so quickly as electricity

C. at very low speed D. at very high speed

49. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning.

B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning.

C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.

D. A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm.

50. Lightning is probably ______ to man.

A. useful B. kind C. useless D. friendly

A person has been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give him a blood transfusion (输血) because he has lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for him. If the blood is too different from his own, the transfusion could kill him.

There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB and O. A single test can tell us a person’s blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited (继承) from parents. Because of the substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; so it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient (领受者). However, because there can be so many reactions in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (血浆) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of the hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.

There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among the Europeans, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentage. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.

51. 
    Which of the following diagrams shows the correct relationship in blood transfusions?
    

transfusion _____.

A. after he has a good rest B. after he receives salt or plasma

C. right after the accident happens D. before there are so many reactions

53. If the blood is too different from the injured, the transfusion _____.

A. can help him greatly B. could save him

C. could kill him D. can injure him

54. The writer suggests that the third most common blood type among the Europeans is _____.

A. B B. A C. AB D. O

55. The passage mainly tells us that _____.

A. there is only one type of blood in a person’s body

B. a person’s blood type is decided by hair and height

C. a person’s blood type can be changed into another

D. there are four basic types of blood in a person’s body
