world blood day is celebrated by blood services worldwide on 14 june, the birthday of nobel prize winner karl landsteiner, the man who discovered the abo blood group system. if you have every thought of becoming a blood donor, just register to do it. and you should never worry about the donation. just under a pint (around 470ml) of blood is taken at one sitting. this amount is no more than 13 percent of your total blood volume, and is quickly replaced by your body. it may come as a surprise, but whole blood is only rarely used. different blood components are used to treat a range of conditions. none goes to waste. red blood cells are frequently used to replace heavy blood loss after an accident, surgery or childbirth. white blood cells and antibodies(抗体)are used to help people fight infections if their immune system doesnt appear to be responding to antibiotics(抗生素). plasma(血浆)，the straw-colored fluid which carries the blood cells and contains proteins, are used to treat burned patients. first-time donors should be aged between 17 and 65, weigh at least 50kg and be in good health. if you have donated before, you can start being a donor again up to your 70th birthday. although most people are able to give blood, some people who pose health risks or are at a higher risk of having come into contact with an infectious disease are no tasked to be donors. pregnant women or those who have had a baby in the last 9 months should not donate blood. blood has a very short shelf life. some blood components can be kept longer than others, for instance red blood cells will keep for 35 days but platelets(血小板)for only five. remember, you should wait at least 16 weeks before donating blood again.41people should never worry about the donation mainly because_. ait causes no pain to their bodybtheir bodies can produce new blood soon cbeing a blood donor is a great honor dpeople have a mature research on it42what component of blood is used to treat burned patients? awhite

470 ml of blood each time dpeople can donate their blood four times a years 44who can donate their blood? aa teenager who is studying in a primary school ban adult who smokes and drinks from time to time ca mother who is about to give birth to a new baby da man just coming back for a place suffering from malaria(疟疾）45what is the purpose of the author in writing this passage? ato teach people how to be a blood donor bto remind people of the importance of blood donation cto advise people to benefit from blood donation dto give people the knowledge of blood donationb here are six questions about your approach to life. try to answer them as honestly as you can.are you hard driving and competitive?are you usually pressed for time?do you want to control others?do you have a strong need to do better than others in most things?do you eat too quickly?do you get upset when you have to wait for anything?if you have answered “yes” to most of these questions, then i can make a few predictions about you, based on a recent eight-year study of nearly two thousand people who live the way that you do.you likely find that life is full of challenges and you often need to keep two or more projects moving at the same time. the chances are that you have been to college, that you have a management job and that you bring work home at night. you think that you put more effort into your job than many of the people you work with, and you certainly take your work more seriously than most of them. you get angry easily, and if someone is being long-winded, you help them get to the point. you also have trouble finding the time to get your hair cut.and theres one other thing. you are about twice as likely to have a heart attack as someone who takes a more easygoing approach to life.the beginnings of your hard-driving behavior go right back to childhood. in school you got recognition and perhaps prizes for being quick and bright, for being an achiever, for competing with others and for winning. you likely went on from school to get a series of increasingly better jobs against pretty stiff competition. they were jobs where you had to care about the results, where you constantly had to push things forward and get things done. in your present job you also feel some conflict, either with time or with other people. some of those you work with dont seem able to understand the simplest ideas, and they often put a brake on what youre trying to achieve. the conflict may not take place every day. you pride yourself on being able to keep the lid on.but its always there, under the surface.46. which of the following people probably have the hard-driving character?a. people who want to control others and have a strong need to do better than others.b. people who usually think of others and get along well with others.c. people who dont seem able to understand the simplest ideas.d. people who dont care about their appearance and the results of their jobs.47. it can be concluded from the last paragraph that this hard-driving character _. a. has been developed since childhoodb. may be changed by your experiencesc. will place no influence on your workd. will cause you more conflicts48. which of the following words is not proper to describe this type of people?a: competitive. b. nervous.c. easygoing.d. ambitious.49. what does the author mean by the last sentence of the passage?a. the lid will always remain in place. b. the conflict may occur any moment.c. the situation is always under your control.d. you are able to solve the problem.50. themainideaofthepassageis_.a. whycompetitivepeoplearemorelikelytosucceedintheircareerb. howpeoplecanrelaxthemselvesc. whyhard-drivingpeoplearelikelytohaveaheartattackd. howpersonalityaffectsyourattitudetowardlifechave you got

which of the following activities costs least? a. theme parkb. climbing wallc. bowlingd. mini golf.dit was the mens figure skating final(花样滑冰总决赛) of the 1988 winter olympics when i was 16. i had a dream that one day i would be in the olympics.that night i lay on my living room floor excitedly watching the competition between the brians: american brian boitano facing brian orser in canada. both of them had been world champions and both of them had the chance to win. naturally, i was for brian boitano, a northern californian like me. wed skated on the same ice. i held my breath when he performed on the ice. finally, boitano won the gold medal.however, what happened next was what i would never forget. brian sat in front of the camera with his coach, interviewed by a group of reporters, tv interviewers holding a microphone up to him. brian was talking about his career and his medal, taking to the whole world. suddenly, a terrible feeling went through me. i thought i could never be in the olympics. no way could i talk in public like that. just the press conference made me feel scared.i loved skating partly because i didnt have to talk. i could express myself through my jumps and dances better. i didnt have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers. pubic speaking was one class in high school i would never take. i could feel the blood rush to my face if i thought a teacher was going to call on me.what if reporters asked me questions as they asked brian? and yet, there was so much i would love to say, about my family and all the support theyd given me and about my dream of being a figure skating champion.my coach insisted i was an olympic competitor, but i could only imagine falling apart in front of a camera and the whole world. i would rather die, i told myself.the next day i was at the skating rink(溜冰场) as usual. i was practicing skating jumps that had once seemed impossible. then i could do that. i knew i didnt do it all at once. i took on a big challenge and i learned it step by step. i worked very hard the next few yearson the ice and especially off. after competitions, reporters talked to me and although my heart pounded every time, i spoke to them, and i got to know them. they became familiar faces and they got to know me, too. slowly i learned that the best way to deal with these situations was simply to be myself. to be honest and do my best, just like on the ice, to answer their questions. so when my big moment came four years after brians, i was ready.sometimes i think my biggest achievement is not winning the gold but talking to the pr
