Please give my liver to my father after I die. ” This is a suicide note written by a young girl. Just a few days before the Spring Festival, a 13-year-old girl in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, tried to commit suicide so that she could donate her liver to her father, who had terminal liver cancer. The story of Linlin who was seriously ill for almost two weeks, has touched hearts across China. Now the girl is out of danger. Linlins story is just one of many moving stories related to organ transplant that often appear in newspapers on TV and on the Internet. At present donation remains the only source for organ transplants but it can be difficult to find a suitable organ donor. However, this situation may change in the near future. It is possible that people may soon be “donating” organs to themselves in the future. A Chinese team of scientists has succeeded in cloning five human blastulas(囊胚) for research purposes, the Shandong Stem Cell Engineering Research Centre declared on February 2. Although some people have raised doubts about the research, there is no doubt that man is making progress with human embryo cloning technology. Blastula is an embryo in an early stage of development. From cloned early-stage human embryos, scientists can get stem cells, which have the ability to become all cell types of the body, or complete human organ of any kind. So doctors can use them to replace patients damaged cells or organs. Human beings have an immune system, whose purpose is to identify foreign materials within the body and try to destroy it. When an organ donated by another person is transplanted into the body of a patient, his or her immune system attacks the “foreign” organ. This is called transplant rejection. However, the cells or organs developed from cloned cells have the same genes as the patient. Therefore, transplant rejection will not occur. Hopefully in the future scientific progress will prevent tragedies such as Linlins from happening.56. At the beginning, the writer offers the story of Linlin in order to_.A. ask readers to donate money to her father. B. show sympathy to an unfortunate family.C. introduce the topic to be discussed. D. tell readers a touching story.57. What can we learn from the passage?A. A Chinese team of scientists has succeeded in cloning a human.B. Linlins father will be saved through an organ transplant.C. At present a patient can get an organ transplant through purchase.D. Patients with organs from cloned cells will not suffer organ rejection.58. What attitude may the writer take towards human embryo cloning technology?A. doubtful B. negative C. uninterested D. positive 59. What is the suitable title for the passage?A. To Live or To Die B. A Miracle Organ C. A Science Breakthrough D. Stem Cell ResearchBMaking friends is a skill like most skills. It improves with practice .If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people .You wont make friends staying home alone.Join a club or group, for you see talking with those who like the same thing as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And its human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. Most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves .We imagine that other people are judging us, finding us too tall or short, too this or too that. But dont forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yours as you are, and try to put the other person at ease. Youll both feel more comfortable.Try to act self-confident even if you dont feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.If you see someone youd like to speak to, say something. Dont wait for the other person to start a conversation.Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that personfriendship is based on mutual(互相的) liking and “give and take”. It takes time and effort to develop.60.The best topic of the passage may be . A. Friendship B. Making friendsC. Meeting New PeopleD. Facing the Unknown61.You cannot make friends if you _. A. take some actionB. go to the peopleC. avoid meeting peopleD. join a club62.You can make friends if you .

Before making friends with someone, judge him if hes too this or too that.CMr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water.

He also predicted that heavier-than-air flying machines were impossible. Today, there are more than one billion radio sets in the world, tuned to more than 33 000 radio stations around the world, and now the plane Boeing 747 has come into use for years. In the early 20th century a world market for only 4 million automobiles was made because “the world would run out of chauffeurs.” Shortly after the end of World War II (1945), the whole of Volkswagen，factory and patents, was offered free to Henry Ford II. He dismissed the Volkswagen Beetle as a bad design. Today, more than 70 million motorcars are produced every year. The Beetle became one of the best-selling vehicles of all time. The telephone was not widely appreciated for the first 15 years because people did not see a use for it. In fact, in the British parliament it was mentioned that there was no need for telephones because we have enough messengers here. Western Union believed that it could never replace the telegraph. In 1876, an internal memo（备忘录）read: This telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. Irish scientist, Dr. Dionysius Lardner (1793 - 1859) didnt believe that trains could contribute much in speedy transport. He wrote: Rail travel at high speed is not possible, because passengers would die of asphyxia（窒息）.” Today, trains reach speeds of 500 km/h.In 1943, Thomas Watson, the chairman of IBM forecast a world market for maybe only five computers.
