It seems that would interest you a lot more, since youre so good at it.” John answered, “Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason.”From then on, I often remember my students reply.

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-coloured 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.32. What component of blood is used to treat burned patients?_A. Plasma B. Red blood cell C. Antibody D. White blood cell33. We can learn from the passage that .A. whole blood is most widely used in hospitalB. platelets can be kept for more than 10 daysC. people can donate their blood four times a yearD. people can donate at most 470 ml of blood each time34. Who can donate their blood?_A. A teenager who is studying in a primary schoolB. A mother who is about to give birth to a new babyC. An adult who smokes and drinks from time to timeD. A man just coming back for a place suffering from malaria（疟疾）35. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To teach people how to be a blood donorB. To give people the knowledge of blood donationC. To advise people to benefit from blood donationD. To remind people of the importance of blood donation第二节 七选五 (共5小题,每小题3分,满分15分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。Why play sports? You might say “to get exercise” and youd be right. To have fun?
