2014高考英语阅读理解抓分精品训练（35）及答案阅读理解an australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56 years has saved the lives of more than two million babies. james harrison has an antibody in his plasma 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 litres 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

as a full-time wife and mother, i decided to be a school bus driver for i loved kids. after hard practice, by the time school started that year id gotten the hang of it. i was happy in my new work. i became a combination chauffeur, nurse and friend. and if the kids needed it, id put on my “tough big sister” act. it was a lot like my previous job-being a mom. when i think about my years of bus driving, many things crowded in, but mostly, i remember charlie. charlie, eight years old, with blond hair and crystalline gray eyes, began riding my bus in september of my fourth year driving. they all had stories to tell me about their summers. charlie, though, ignored me. he didnt even answer when i asked his name. from that day on, charlie was a trial. if a fight broke out i didnt have to turn my head to know who had started it. if someone was throwing spitballs i could guess the culprits name. if a girl was crying, chances were charlie had pulled her hair. no matter how i spoke to him, gently or firmly, he wouldnt say a word. hed just stare at me with those big gray eyes of his. i asked around some, and found out charlies father was dead and he didnt live with his mother. he deserves my patience, i thought. so i practiced every bit of patience i could muster. to my cheery “good morning”, he was silent. when i wished him a happy halloween, he sneered. many, many times i asked god how i could reach charlie. “im at my wits end.” id say. still i was sure that this child needed to feel some warmth from me. so, when hed pass by, id ruffle his hair or pat him on the arm. toward the end of that year, the kids on my bus gave me a small trophy inscribed “to the best bus driver ever”. i propped it up on the dashboard. on top i hung a small tin heart that a little girl had given me. in red paint she had written, “i love polly and polly loves me.” on the next-to-last day of school i was delayed a few minutes talking to the principal. when i got on the bus i realized that the tin heart was gone. “does anyone know what happened to the little heart that was up here?” i asked. for once with 39 children, there was silence. one boy piped up, “charlie was the first one on the bus. i bet he took it.” other children joined the chorus, “yeah! charlie did it! search him!” i asked charlie, “have you seen the heart?” “i dont know what youre talking about,” he protested. standing up, he took a few pennies and a small ball out of his pockets. “see, i dont have it.” “i bet he does!” insisted the girl who had given me the heart. “check his pockets.” charlie glowered when i asked him to come forward. his gaze burned into mine. i stuck my hand into one pocket. nothing. i reached into the other pocket. then i felt it -the familiar outline of the small tin heart. charlie stared at me for a long time. there were no tears in those big gray eyes, no plea for mercy. he seemed to be waiting for what hed come to expect from the world. i was about to pull the tin heart out of charlies pocket when i stopped myself. let him keep it, a voice seemed to whisper. “it must have fallen off before i got here,” i said to the kids. “ill probably find it back at the depot.” without a word, charlie returned to his seat. when he got off at his stop, he didnt so much as glance at me. that summer charlie moved away. eventually i retired. and there my story as a school bus driver ends, except for one more incident. a dozen years after retirement i was in a department store in kansas city, when someone said tentatively, “polly?” i turned to see a balding man who was approaching middle age. “yes?” his face didnt look familiar until i noticed his big gray eyes. there was no doubt. it was charlie. he told me he was living in montana and doing well. then, to my surprise, he hugged me. after he let go, he pulled something from his pocket and held it up for me to see. an old key chain.bent out of shape, the lettering faded. you can probably guess what it was-the little tin heart that said, “i love polly and polly loves me.” “you were the only one who kept trying,” he explained. we hugged again, and went our separate ways. that night i thought over his words. you were the only one who kept trying. before i fell asleep i thanked the lord for the reassurance that id done a good job and for all the qualifications hed given me to do it with. 15. from whose point of view is the story told? a. pollysb. charliesc. a mothersd. tough big sisters16. from the passage, we learn that charlie was _ . a. cold and firm b. naughty and lazy c. tough and lonelyd. gentle and
