Despite the heat wave 62 the city, nearly 40 employees of the local leading hotel donated this precious gift, 400ml of blood each, to 63 in need of transfusion. 64 last week, the citys blood centers have been thirsty for healthy blood because the need for blood 65 in summer when traffic and burn accidents are more 66 . But the number of donors decreases significantly(明显减少) 67 the hot weather. During the first half of the year, blood donation increased 68 about 5.5 per cent but the clinical (医学的) use of blood jumped by 11.2 per cent. Right after we heard that the blood centre was short of healthy blood last week, we sent 69 to our employees calling them to donate, said Stanley Ng, the hotels human resources director. Our staff (工作人员) feel 70 to help the hotel make a contribution to public welfare events. Meanwhile, the hotel also 71 leaflets (传单) to 50 nearby office buildings informing and encouraging their employees 72 the Friday donation effort. I hope my blood will help 73 in need, especially the patients with financial difficulty, said one donor. Donating blood is good for others and also good for oneself and family. One day, if I or my family members need to use blood, we 74 receive such help from others. According to the China Blood Donation Law, blood donors can use blood up to 75 they have donated within five years free of charge. Their family members can also use the same amount of donated blood, also free of charge. In addition, public education on the 76 of blood donation should be improved and more convenient procedures adapted. The arrival of the blood collection bus at our hotel makes giving blood 77 more convenient. Otherwise, its quite complicated（复杂）, with the need to make a trip to a hospital (blood collection centre), Weber 78 . All local residents who are 79 to donate their blood, are invited to contact the citys Blood Centre via two blood donation 80: 6219-1114, 6275-8257. 61. A. while B. if C. than D. because 62.

He and his friends go snowboarding every weekend. Its great, he says. The winds are so strong, the boards, go 50 miles an hour. His friend Laura Field agrees. No one goes skiing any more, she says, Thats for the old folks.Rick and Laura are part of a new trend in sports. Its philosophy (宗旨) is to get as close to the edge as possible. And more and more young athletes are taking part in these risky (冒险的) activities called extreme sports or X-sports.In the past, young athletes would play baseball. Today, they want risk and excitementthe closer to the edge, the better. They snowboard over cliffs and mountain-bike down steep mountains. They wind -surf near hurricanes and bungee-jump from towers. Extreme sports started as an alternative (选择余地) to more expensive sports such as golf. A city kid who didnt have the money to buy expensive sports equipment could get a skateboard and have fun. But now it has become a whole new area of sports, with specialized equipment and high levels of skill. Theres even a special Olympics for extreme sports, called the Winter XGames, which includes snow mountain biking and ice climbing.What makes extreme sports so popular? People love the risk, says Murray Nussbaum, who sells sports equipment. City people want to be outdoors on the weekend and do something challenging. The new equipment is so much better that people can take more risks without getting hurt. An athlete adds, Sure theres a risk, Once you go mountain biking or snowboarding, its impossible to go back to bike riding or skiing. Its just too boring. Now even the older crowd is starting to join in. Every weekend groups of friends in their early 30s get together. During the week they work as computer programmers in the same office. On Sundays they rent mountain bikes that cost $2,000 each and ride down steep mountains together.Extreme sports are certainly not for everyone. Most people still prefer to play basketball or watch sports on TV. But extreme sports are definitely gaining in popularity. These sports are fresh and exciting. Its the wave of the future. Says Nussbaum.81. What would be the best title for the text? A. Rick Stevenson. B. Peoples Love for Risk. C. X-Sports. D. The Wave of the Future.82. It is clear from the text that extreme sports are . A. exciting but risky B. popular but old C. special but dangerous D. inexpensive but challenging83. Generally speaking, are unfit for extreme sports by inference from the text. A. city teenagers B. the aged peopleC. office workers D. high school studentsBWhats your dream vocation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money. We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? Its true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often hams the local people more than it helps them. It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non - government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure. The result is responsible tourism, or ethical tourism. Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the peoples lands, homes, economies and culture. The beginnings are smallthough, and-the problems are complex.But take heart. The good news is that everyone including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.They can make it a point to use only locally owned hot
