At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1, 162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood
donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
4. What do we know about James Harrison?
A. He is a very grateful blood donor. B. He saved 2.4 million poor people.
C. He is to retire as a blood donor. D. He donates blood nearly every day.
5. What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4?
A. To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.
B. To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.
C. To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.
D. To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.
6. What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?
A. After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.
B. New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C. His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
D. He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire B. The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C. The Man with the Golden Arm D. A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type
C
Your teenage best friend could be good for your long-term mental health, according to a new study published in the journal Child Development According to the findings, teenagers aged 15 to 16 who had a close friendship rather than a larger group of friends they were less close to had a greater sense of self-worth by the time they were 25 years old. Those people with a very close best friend were also less likely to experience depression and social anxiety, the study found.
“Close friendship strength in mid-adolescence predicted relative increases in self-worth and decreases
in anxiety and depressive symptoms by early adulthood, ”the authors, led by Rachel K, Narr, a postdoctoral student focused on clinical psychology at the University of Virginia wrote.
A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important. Friendships during the teenage years predict academic success and improved mental health. But the new research further explores the type of friendships teenagers have. “My hunch(预感) was that close friendships compared to broader friendship groups and popularity may not function the same way,” Narr told Quartz. "Being successful in one is not the same as being successful in the other."
Many study participants did not continue to have a close relationship with their high-school best friend, leading the researchers to wonder what exactly was responsible for the mental health benefits. They suspected that the skills and ability to build such a friendship may be more important than the friendship itself.
And as the researchers point out, those skills are not necessarily brought to bear in the world of social media. "As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority," study co-author Joseph Allen said in a statement.
8. What is the benefit of having a close teenage friendship?
A. Excellent performance in high school. B. A larger group of friends.
C. Mental health by early adulthood D. A large social network in the future.
9. What can we learn about the past research?
A. It helped improve teenagers' mental health.
B. It attached great significance to adolescent friendships.
C. It was totally different from the new research.
D. It compared broader friendship groups with popularity.
10. What did the researchers think might lead to the mental health benefits?
A. Not continuing to have a close relationship. B. Having a best friend in high school.
C. Understanding the world of social media. D. Knowing how to build a close friendship.
11. What did the researcher Joseph suggest?
A. Concentrating on high-quality relationship. B. Broadening your social circle.
C. Improving the skills of making friends. D. Learning to use social media.

In July 2017, the American space agency（NASA）admitted to not having enough financial means to send man on Mars for the purpose of exploring it. The news had the effect of a bomb after five years of communication and development for this space exploration project. And yet, a few months before this announcement, the two houses of the US Congress voted a law to guide future NASA tasks. Among these tasks was an inhabited trip to Mars in 2033.
In the meantime, NASA is focusing on the Mars 2020 mission by building its rover(漫游者), which will be equipped with a series of new scientific instruments. This new machine will also look a lot like Curiosity which landed on the red planet in 2012. The mission Mars 2020 aims to assess the livability of the planet and possibly identify potential tracks of life yesterday and today.
At a recent press conference, former US astronaut Tom Jones announced that NASA’s current budget could not solve some technical problems for 25 years. Thus, it postpones the first inhabited mission of the agency to Mars in 2043. The subject concerned mainly mentioned many damages that will affect the body of astronauts.
Indeed, the trip to Mars could be completed in nine months by considering the current technologies and the moment when the planets are closer to each other. However, periods of weightlessness that are too long may, in particular, cause a lack of calcium. In fact, it influences the bones of astronauts. In addition, this can lead to significant damage of vision.
A quarter of a century is needed to develop new technologies to solve these problems. For example, there is the question of developing nuclear propulsion（推进）systems. Indeed, it could reduce travel times. Finally, there is also the idea of designing something to allow astronauts to hibernate during the trip!
12. What made NASA put off its inhabited mission?
A. Objection of scientists. B. The living conditions.
C. The damage to health. D. A shortage of funds.
13. Which is right about the Mars 2020 Mission?
A. It has been put off. B. It is to evaluate the possibility for our living.
C. Its aim is to send man to Mars. D. Its purpose is for man to walk on Mars.
14. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The technical problems existing nowadays. B. The accuracy of travel times.
C. The needed time to develop technologies. D. The latest update of new devices.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Science. D. Education.

I still remember the last Christmas Granny spent with us. It began in the middle of November on a cold, windy day. I remember the wind because granny’s white hair was a mess when she arrived. That was also the day Granny moved in. Somehow, at the time, I didn't know she was sick. Maybe I was too young, maybe she hid it too well, or maybe I was just too excited that Christmas was on the way
After Granny moved in, she spent most of her time on the brown sofa by the fire. Sometimes she was quiet, but she seemed happy. When I wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about the presents I wanted, Granny made an effort to help me. her hand was slightly shaky but she wrote “Father Christmas, the north pole” on the envelope.
In December, our excitement grew each day — lights appeared in the streets, Christmas cards arrived, and there was snow everywhere. Granny and I made sugar biscuits, stuffed the turkey and then I sat on my granny’s lap and we sang Christmas songs. My favourite song was Frosty the Snowman and I loved the bit that went “thumpety-thump-thump, thumpety- thump-thump, look at Frosty go!” Granny had the patience
to sing it over and over.
On Christmas Eve, Granny took a seat by the fire as we put up the Christmas tree. I hung most of the decorations on the branches.
“That’s the most beautiful tree I’ve ever seen,” Granny said.
Then she started singing, “Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree, you fill my heart with music...”
Before bed, Granny and I left a plate of sugar biscuits out for Father Christmas, and put a stocking at the end of my bed. I remember Granny sitting on my bed and singing softly until I fell asleep.
