Isabelle Dinoire , a 38-year-old mother of two children , gave an unclear speech and had trouble in moving her lips at her first news conference since the operation in November , 2020 .“Since the day of my operation, I have had a face like everyone else,” Dinoire said , reading from a prepared statement. She also thanked the family of the brain-dead woman , who gave her new lips , a chin and a nose .Before the 15-hour operation on November27,2020, Donires teeth were uncovered and most of her nose was missing . She wore a mask in public to avoid frightening people . Dinoire said she was regaining sensation and was not in pain now . “I can open my mouth and eat . I can feel my lips , my nose and my mouth,” she said .Her mouth appeared slightly lopsided (歪的)and was usually open slightly . When she laughed , she seemed unable to bring her lips together to form a full smile . She also had difficulty pronouncing letters like “b” and “p”. In terms of coloring, the match between Dinoires own skin and the transplanted one was obvious , though she wore make-up .100080Dinoire spoke about the terrible attack in May , 2020, by her dog Labrador . She said she had some personal problems at the time and took some drugs to forget after an unhappy week , which knocked her out . ( knock out (药品)使(人)入睡) “When I woke up , I tried to light a cigarette , and I didnt understand why I couldnt hold it between my lips,” she said . “Thats when I saw the pool of blood and the dog next to me . I looked at myself in the mirror , and there , terrible , I couldnt believe what I sawespecially because it didnt hurt . Ever since this day ,my life has changed .”She also explained the difficulties of life with such an ugly face , saying that she received a number of stares when she went out . Dinoire said she accepted immediately when her doctor suggested the transplant . But the operation has been unable to restore the way she looked before .“Theres no comparison between the face I have today and the face I had seven months ago . It is totally different ,” she said .She also said she wanted to return home to see her children immediately and to find a job . “I want to have a normal life again,” she said .45Why did the woman receive such a face transplant ?ABecause she hated her original face .BBecause she wanted to become prettier .CBecause her original face was ruined by her dog .DBecause her original face was ruined in a traffic accident .46Which of the following is NOT true ?ADinoire had a transplant of some organs from a brain-dead woman .BDinoire couldnt speak a word at the first news conference .CShe wore a mask in public in order not to scare people .DAfter the operation , her mouth was always open slightly .47The face transplant for Dinoire is .Aa success which makes her look the same as before Ba success which makes her face look normal Clike a dream in which she can not hold the cigarette with her lips .Dsomething that makes her feel hard to smile as before 48Why did Dinoire want to go back home as soon as possible ?ABecause she wanted to make more money to pay for the operation .BBecause she couldnt bear strangers looks .CBecause she had already accepted her doctors suggestion. DBecause she wanted to go back to her normal life .CThink about itEscaping a fire is a serious matter . Knowing what to do before a fire breaks out can save a life . For example , people should know the safety measures to take before opening a hall door during a fire . Also , make sure everyone knows how to unlock doors that may be in the escape path . At times , a key is needed to unlock a door from the inside . So, keep the key in the lock . Or, you can put the key on a key ring and put it where it can be found easily .If you live in a flat , know the ways you can use to get out . Show everyone in the family these paths . Remind everyone of the importance of using stairways or fire escapes , not lifts .100080From most homes and lower floors of a block of flats , escape through windows is possible . Learn the best way of leaving by a window with the least chance of serous injury . In a home fire , windows are often the only means of escape . The second floor windowsill is usually not more than 13 feet from the ground . An average person , hanging by the fingertips , will have a drop of about six feet to the ground . Of course , it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building . Roll away from the building when you land .Windows are also useful when youre waiting for help. Often youll be able to stay in the room for several minutes if you keep the door closed and the window open . Keep your head low in the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room .On a second or third floor , the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof .From the roof , a person can either drop to the ground or await rescue . Dropping onto sidewalk or pavement might end in injury . Bushes , soft earth , and grass can help to break a fall . A rope ladder should be considered when the drop is too great .In a town where the fire department acts quickly ,it may be best to wait for rescue . Close the doors and wait by an open window for help . Shout for help . Be sure to close the door before opening a window . Otherwise , smoke and fire may be drawn into the room .49We can learn from the passage that windows are .Aeasily broken Beasy to catch fire Cgood escape paths Duseful to put out a fire 50If you happen to be in a room during a fire , its a good idea to .Aopen a window Buse the lifts Cstand quite stillDput out the fire 51We can learn from the article that in a home fire .Apeople should close the window and open the door Bsoft earth can reduce the chance of being injured Cits always safer to jump out than to stay Drope ladders should not be used 52What is the main idea of this article ?AWe can turn to the firemen during a fire .BWe should keep in mind the escape paths .CPeople should know what to do before a fire breaks out .DPeople should find help as soon as possible during a fire .DPaul Zindels death on March 27, 2020 ended the brilliant life of a famous writer .Not only did Paul Zindel win a Pulitzer Prize as well as an Obie Prize for his 1970 play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds,but he was one of the earliest writers in the field of contemporary literature for young adults . The Pigman, published in 1968 , is still one of the most well-known and widely-taught novels in the genre (类别，流派).The American Library Association has named it one of the 100 Best of the Best Books for Young Adults published between 1967 and 1992, and Zindels autobiography (自转), The Pigman and Me, was among the 100 Best of the Best Books published or teenagers during the last part of the twentieth century .
