stalinist era and feature chandeliers (枝行吊灯)，marble moldings and elaborate murals(精美壁画). with more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden.the hong kong mtrfeatures: the hong kong mtr has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit. its privately owned and uses real estate development along its

has an antibody in his plasma(血浆) 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 fathers 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, “ive 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 liters 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 mothers blood and her unborn babys 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 wasnt 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.45. how old is james harrison? a. 74 b. 70. c. 56 d. 7846. what does the underlined phrase “two million” refer to?a. mothers b. babies c. dollars d. blood 47. 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 dollarsc. a vaccine called anti-d is to be developed d. someone elses blood saved his life 48. the sentence “the disease creates an incompatibility between the mothers blood and her unborn babys blood” (underlined in paragraph 5) suggests that _.a. the mother and the baby have different types of bloodb. babies suffer permanent brain damage before born c. rhesus disease contributes to permanent brain damage d. all the patients have a rare antibody in their blood49. what can we infer from the sixth paragraph?a. his wife barbara needed to be taken care of badly then.b. mr. harrison was not glad to help develop a new vaccine.c. some of the tests to develop the vaccine are dangerous. d. his blood type was accidentally discovered after tests.cthe new studies show that fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nations largest cities, can ever graduate. the studies clearly show that the dropout rate isnt dropping. and, in particular, the dropout rate isnt dropping for poor and minority students.amazingly, though so many regret the rising dropout rate, our schools continue to lack formal plans-or any plans-to teach students motivation(动机). most schools have no game plan to ensure that students understand that schooling will be completely necessary. schools expect youth and children to act as though schooling is important, but they never teach them to believe that. years ago, families ensured that thechildrenrecognized the value of schooling. but in many modern families, the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these families may actually tell their children that school is not important. since many families are not motivating their children to be interested students, youth professionals, like teachers may need to provide this training. otherwise, it is likely the dropout rate will continue not to drop, but only worsen. here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic (无动于衷的) students that they must stay in school. ask students if they will ever need to work: the world has changed. 100 years ago, factory work was the booming job, and it required no education. today, factories are increasingly automated. most computer-related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma. ask students which century they will be prepared for: in 1900, the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servanteducation not needed. now, the most common jobs are office and sales staffeducation and diploma usually needed. an amazing 6 out of 10 people today work in a store or office.ask students to devise a way that the employee could be replaced. for example, the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant. a prototype is apparently already being tested. the students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements may be ripe for automation.50. what does the underlined part mean in paragraph1? a. few students can afford to go to school in large cities. b. a large number of the 9th graders can graduate now. c. there are still quite a few 9th graders leaving school early. d. most schools in large cities have fewer and fewer students.51. without the help of youth professionals,_. a. more and more families will gradually recognize the value of school. b. it is likely that the dropout rate in schools wont continue to drop. c. some parents will be more convinced of their childrens future. d. the schools will make proper plans to solve the problems with dropout.52. the author takes factory work for example mainly to _. a. tell us that many jobs requires certain education in the past b. show that there are more factory work and employment in modern society c. show that employment in the computer field grows at a high rate d. emphasize that modern jobs require education and schools are necessary 53. it can be inferred that_. a. both schools and families should answer for the high dropout rate b. many new jobs dont need childrens high school diploma c. working in a store doesnt require a high school diploma d. most schools are ready to help students recognize the importance of study54. if students play the “replace me” game, the result would be “_”.a. they will know that they can always do without a diplomab. more of them will drop out early to go to workc. they will discover that lack of education is a disadvantage in choosing jobsd. they will become better at using computers to hunt for a jobdhans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. living alone, every day he worked in his garden. in all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. all sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flowers place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell. hans had many friends, the most devoted being the miller. so devoted was the rich miller to hans that hed never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. the miller used to talk about noble ideas, and hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend. the neighbors thought it strange that the rich miller never gave hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship. in spring, summer, and autumn hans was
