The host poured the tea into the cup and placed it on the small table in front of his guests, who were a father and daughter, and the cover on the cup. Apparently thinking of something, he hurried into the inner room, leaving the thermos(热水瓶) on the table. His two guests heard a cupboard opening.

They remained sitting in the sitting room, the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window, the father just about to take his cup, when the crash came, right there in the sitting room. Something was hopelessly broken.

It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. The girl looked over her shoulder, shocked, staring. It was mysterious. Neither of them touched it, not even a bit. True, it hadn’t stood steadily when their host placed in on the table, but it hadn’t fallen then.

The explosion caused the host to rush back. Gawking at the steaming floor, the host said, “It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter!”

The father started to say something. Then he said softly, “Sorry, I touched it and it fell.”

“It doesn’t matter,” said the host.

When they left the house, the daughter said, “Daddy, did you touch it?”

“No, but it stood so close to me.”

“But you did not touch it. I saw your reflection in the window glass.”

The father laughed. “What would you give as the cause of its fall?”

“The thermos fell by itself. The floor is not smooth. Daddy, why did you say that you…”

“That won’t do, girl. It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down. There are things which people accept less the more you defend. The truer the story you tell, the less true it sounds.”

The daughter was lost in silence for a while. Then she said, “Can you explain it only in this way?”

“Only in this way,” her father said.

1.Which statement is a possible theme of this story?

A. People should take the blame for what they didn’t do.

B. People rarely tell the truth.

C. If you defend yourself, people will believe you.

D. You can’t always make people believe the truth.

2.The underlined phrase “Gawking at” probably means ___________.

A. staring at with anger

B. looking at curious

C, looking at in a dull way

D. glancing at hopelessly

3.It can be inferred from the story that the father____________.

A. didn’t know the host well

B. didn’t think the host would believe the truth

C. was sorry that he told the truth

D. felt satisfied that he didn’t tell the truh

4.From the story we know that the daughter ___________ .

We often think that our affairs, great or small, must be tended continuously and in detail, or our world will break apart, and we will lose our places in he universe. That is . not true, or if it is true, then our situations were so temporary that they would have collapsed (崩溃} anyway. .

Once a year or sol get away for a day. On the eve of my day of absence, I inform housemates, my family and close friends that I will not be reachable for twenty-four hours; then I disconnect the telephone. I sit for at least an hour in a very hot bathtub; then I lay out my clothes in preparation for my morning escape, and knowing that nothing will disturb me, I sleep well.

On the morning I wake naturally, for I will have set no clock, nor informed my body timepiece when it should alarm. I dress in comfortable shoes and casual clothes and leave my house going no place. If I am living in a city, I wander streets, window-shop, or stare at buildings. I enter and leave public parks, libraries, and theatres. I stay in no place for very long.

Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously , separates the past from the future. Jobs, family and friends can exist one day without any one of us. Each person deserves the day in which no problems are faced up to, no solutions searched for, We need hours of aimless wandering or sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants.

If we step away for a time, we are not, as many. may think, being irresponsible, but rather we are preparing ourselves to more ably perform our duties. When I return home, Jam always surprised to find some questions I sought to evade had been answered and some entanglements (瓜葛) I had hoped to flee had become separated out in my absence. A day away can help drive away the bitterness, transform hesitation, and renew the spirit.

When we donate blood, a small amount is usually taken in advance for at least ABO and Ph systems typing. If you are O+, the O is your ABO type and the + is your Rh type. It is possible to be A, B, AB, or O as well as Rh + or Rh-.

The ABO system was discovered by Karl Landsteiner in the early 1900s. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for his achievements. There are four basic types of blood in the ABO system: A, B, AB and O. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. We get blood type, just like hair color and height from parents. Because of the substances(物质) contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully, If two different blood types are mixed together, it may put a person into an extremely dangerous situation. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. In an emergency, type O blood can be given because it is most likely to be accepted by all blood types, so it is often called the universal donor. However, there is still a risk. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal receiver. However, because there can be so many reactions in the blood bank of the hospital.

There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among the Europeans, about 45 percent have type O while 42 percent have type A. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentage. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O out of 100 donors in the world…

1. Which of the following shown the correct relationships in blood transfusions?

  A B  A         B    A       B      A      B

 AB O   AB     O      AB     O     AB      O

A             B            C               D

2. The underlined word “transfuse” most probably means ________.

A. to put the blood into a container

B. to move the blood from one place to another 

C. to put the blood of one person into the body of another

D. to give power to another person

3. The writer suggests that the third most common blood type among the Europeans is ______.

A. B           B. A            C. AB          D. O

4 The text mainly tells us ______.

A. about the basic types of human blood

B. what kind of blood is the most common

C. about Karl Landsteiner who won the Nobel Prize

D. the relationship between blood type and nationality
