You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a person's blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European origin, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.
22、A good title for this passage is ______.
A、Getting Blood and Liquid
B、Special Blood Colors
C、Human Blood Types
D、The Blood Bank of Hospitals

In old Hollywood movies, "Indians" were silent and serious-faced. They had feathers in their hair and weapons in their hands, ready to fight. But the true history and culture of America's native people may surprise you. American Indians come from hundreds of different tribes, each with its own culture and language. Not all were soldiers. Many lived peacefully.
American society still includes many of these tribes and their cultures. Two million American Indians live in the U.S. today. And their influence can be found all over the country.
No one knows the exact origin of the American Indians. Many believe they arrived in North America thousands of years ago. They may have come from northeast Asia, crossing the Bering Strait(白令海峡) into North America. By the time European explorers arrived, an estimated 2 to 10 million natives had lived in America.
Thousands of Europeans came to America in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The American Indians saved many white newcomers' lives. They taught them how to hunt, grow food, and live inharmony with nature.
As white settlers spread across the continent, however, conflicts arose. American Indians thought of nature as something to use, enjoy and protect. Europeans saw nature as something to own and a source of things to buy and sell.
As the white population grew, the settlers began taking land from the American Indians. They forced them to give up their homes, languages and customs. The American Indians fought back. Some revenged by killing white people or burning their homes. But soon white people outnumbered the American Indians.
23、What was the Indians’ image in old Hollywood movies?
A、They were talkative.
B、They lived a peaceful life.
C、They used feathers as their clothes.
D、They had weapons and were aggressive.

Someone said to a man, "Travel and see the world." He answered, "Why should I? People are the same everywhere. They have the same feelings. They feel love and hate, happiness and sadness, security and fear. This is why I do not want to travel. I can learn everything here."
The man was right. He was also wrong. People are the same, but people are also different. They all have the same pattern of life—birth, youth, old age, death. But these stages of life have different values in different cultures. Also, while all people have the same feelings, the causes of these feelings are different. A situation that may bring happiness in one place may not bring happiness in another place.
For example, in many countries, old age is a happy time. In Korea, old people are honored and respected. When they become sixty-one years old, it is a very happy and important event. There is a big party with many guests. They receive many gifts. When people reach this time in life, the attitudes of their family and their community change toward them. Everyone looks forward to this time.
In the United States, it is quite different for old people. Most old people do not live with their children or relatives. For many North Americans, old age is not a happy time. Most North Americans want to stay young. They try to act like young people as long as possible. They even try to speak the language of the young. They do not like to grow old because they will not get honor or respect or attention. Old age can be a sad and lonely time for them.
24、The reason why the man did not have the intention of traveling was that ______.
A、he was too old to travel any more
B、he preferred to stay home to enjoy his leisure time
C、he thought he knew about people in other places
D、he could not understand people in other countries since he was deaf

The Isles of Scilly
The Isles of Scilly form an archipelago(群岛) off the southwestern tip of Cornwall. They are comprised of 140 islands and islets. Scientific evidence suggests that the Isles were likely much larger in ancient times and that many of them would have been joined into one island. Rising sea levels over time have led to the current geography.
Up until the early twentieth century, the residents of the Isles of Scilly practiced subsistence living(自给生活), raising their own livestock and crops and catching fish to eat. Today, things are quite different. The Isles are well known for their flowers, particularly daffodils, which are their chief agricultural product. Otherwise, the Isles today depend largely on food and other products imported from the mainland, though fishing remains a popular pastime, if not a significant source of income.
The main industry on the Isles today is tourism, making up 85% of the islands' total income. The favorable summer climate, conducive to flowers and holidays, facilitates the large amount of tourism in the area. The bulk of tourists visit St. Mary's the only island with a significant road network and airport, though the island of Tresco also has a number of timeshare resorts and a heliport.
The holiday season on the Isles of Scilly, unlike many other tourist destinations in England, extends through October, when the Isles are a top destination for birdwatchers who come to see the many exotic birds that make the first stop of their migration on the Isles.
The dominance of the tourism industry on the Islands has caused some political problems. Sixty-three percent of the islands' jobs come from the tourism industry, but the vast majority of these offer only seasonal or part-time work. Thus, the Isles employ a number of guest workers. Currently, the average income on the islands is only 70% of the national average in the UK, whereas housing prices are, on average, ￡ 5000 more expensive than in the rest of the country. These factors make life difficult for those who make the Isles ~heir home, though they continue to be very popular among tourists.
25、The geography of the Isles of Scilly was shaped by_______.
A、changing sea levels
B、a decline in farming
C、a rise in population
D、their many beaches

26、Think of a language as a living thing. Like most living things, languages are always growing and changing. English has always been made up of words from many languages. Most English words come from Latin, Germanic languages and French. But in the last several hundred years, English has also borrowed words and terms from other languages. You can learn a lot about history and culture by looking at what led to the borrowing of certain words. It may surprise you that English has taken more than a dozen words from Japanese.
