Dr Asim Syed, 32, has performed more than 100 operations at London’s Hammersmith Hospital in the country’s busiest transplant unit, but never imagined that he would one day become a donor himself. He stepped forward when was told his 64-year-old mother might be dead within months unless she got a new kidney (肾). The worried surgeon brought her to London to be cared for at his hospital. However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process. He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high. Dr Syed and his mother were then advised to consider a new way of donating and receiving, called an organ-paired. That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother. The chain of three transplants took place at the same time on July 31 with Dr Syed’s kidney going to a recipient in the Midlands and Mrs. Syed receiving her kidney from a person in the south of England. Just hours after donating his own kidney, Dr Syed found himself recovering in bed next to his mother. Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.” Now mother and son are recovering well with Dr Syed already back at work. Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress. He said, “I did what anyone would do when they see a relative suffering disease. Although I wasn’t able to help mum directly, by agreeing to be part of a chain, I was also very happy.” 小题1: Why isn’t it a plain sailing?A.No one can treat his mother well. | B.Dr Syed was the wrong blood group. | C.They didn’t have money to be in hospital. | D.Mrs. Syed was unwilling to receive the operation. | 小题2:Why didn’t his colleagues agree to the method of blood-washing?A.It is very dangerous. | B.It costs too much. | C.They didn’t know how to do it at all. | D.They didn’t have the relative equipment. | 小题3: What can we learn about Mrs. Syed?A.She was touched by his son’s deed. | B.She has already recovered completely. | C.After operation, she went her own home. | D.She was in hospital in London for many years. | 小题4:What can be inferred from the text?A.The hospital still needs improving. | B.Dr Syed has love and devotion to his parents. | C.The expense in the hospital is too high to afford. | D.Dr Syed donated his kidney to his mother directly. |

小题1:B 小题2:A 小题3:A 小题4:B |
1,文中第二段However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process.可知手术不顺利的原因是Dr Syed was the wrong blood group,A,选项是无稽之谈,C,D在文中都没有体现。故答案选B。 2,第二段中的He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high.可知,Dr Syed咨询他的同事,关于the method of blood-washing,他的同事认为他母亲对他的肾脏异化反应的风险非常高,所以认为是危险的,B,D在文中都没有显示,C, Dr Syed的同事有办法为他母亲治疗,但是风险太高。故答案选A。 3,第三段中Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.” Mrs Syed眼泪都留下来了,被她儿子的言行所感动,对应选项A.第四段中Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress.可知B,C,D选项是错误的。 4,通过手术顺利的治好了Mrs Syed的病症,所以A是错误的。文中没有出现关于医疗费用的描述,故答案C是错误的。That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother.可知Dr Syed没有直接把他的肾脏捐给他的母亲。答案D是错误的。全文描述了一个作为医生的儿子通过将自己的肾脏捐给第三者,第三者再将肾脏捐给医生母亲,以便治疗好他的母亲疾病的感人故事,故答案是B。 |

One day I took several pairs of shoes to the shoemaker to be mended. After a week I went to take them back. Four months later, my husband and I were invited to dinner. I took out a pair of shoes. I hadn"t worn them since they were mended. I put one shoe on my right foot, and then I put the other on my left. But I felt that the other one was on the wrong foot. I took both shoes off for a closer look. They were nearly the same style (式样), color and size, but each was for the right foot. Then I thought of the shoemaker. Though I was sure he wouldn"t remember me after such a long time, I called him. "Thank goodness you called me at last!" He said happily. "An angry woman has been troubling me for months!" 小题1:How many pairs of shoes did the woman take to the shoemaker to be mended?A.One shoe. | B.Two pairs of shoes. | C.Only three shoes. | D.Some pairs of shoes. | 小题2:The shoemaker ___________.A.was very careful with his work | B.mistook one of the woman" s shoes for the other woman" s | C.forgot the woman because it happened a long time ago | D.was troubled by two men | 小题3:Did the woman look at the shoes carefully after they were taken back?A.Yes, she did. | B.The story didn"t tell us. | C.No, but her husband did. | D.No, she didn"t. | 小题4:The shoemaker felt very when the woman rang him.A.sad | B.angry | C.glad | D.worried |

When an official at the U. S. Open Pocket Pool(台球)Championship saw a 9-year-old girl playing at one of the tournament tables, he told her that spectators(观众)were not allowed to play. But much to his surprise, the girl was actually a competitor. That was nine years ago, and today, with five U. S. Open Women’s titles behind her and a recently won world championship, no one is likely to mistake Jean Balukas for a spectator again. It doesn’t seem too surprising that Jean became caught up in pool——her father owns a pool hall within walking distance of the family’s home in Brooklyn. When she was just tall enough to see over the table, she fell in love with the game soon. Five years later Jean was ready to enter her first U. S. Open. She still remembers the letter the officials sent her reminding her that she wouldn’t be allowed to stand on a box to play.
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191207/20191207090656-61083.jpg) As Jean improved, she found it increasingly difficult to play games at her father’s pool hall. “If I’d beat one of the guys, his friends would laugh at them about losing to me,” she says. Now Jean comes to the hall only weeks before a tournament when she plays Johnny Goon, her father’s pool manager. That Johnny can beat her shows the gap that now exists in pool — as in other sports — between the top men and women competitors. “I’m supposedly the top woman player, but I’d have a hard time beating the number 50 man,” says Jean. “If I was a boy and played pool, I’d be a nobody.” Jean thinks that women pool players still have a long way to go because pool has been a man’s game for so long. “When they think of pool players, people have this picture in their head of gambling(赌博) and smoke,” she says. Jean won four of the seven games in these two years. She was as surprised as anyone else at her performance, even though she was a New York City tennis champion and center for her high-school basketball team. Jean does not take full credit for her achievements, saying, “I think what I have in sports is a gift from God, and that’s why I can get out there and do so well.” 小题1:We can learn from the first passage that Jean Balukas_____.A.had become well-known at the age of 9 | B.had achieved great fame at the age of 18 | C.was often asked to play with men players | D.was refused to play in the U. S. Open for her young age | 小题2:The letter Jean received before her first U. S. Open_____.A.told her to arrive in time for the game | B.showed people’s doubt about her ability | C.told her about the basic rules of the game | D.invited her to compete in the U. S. Open | 小题3:Jean Balukas believed that women pool players_____.A.fall far behind men players | B.aren’t suitable for a man’s game | C.are impossible to beat any man player | D.have a bad reputation(名声) for gambling and smoking | 小题4:By saying the underlined words in the last paragraph Jean meant that _____.A.women players had a long way to go | B.she wouldn’t stop before her great achievement | C.she had much confidence in the game | D.she achieved her success because of her born gift |

My 8-year-old daughter is making an experiment. She has been making her own colorful smile cards and often takes them with her everywhere. Last Sunday, I took my kid to go shopping with me. She was hoping to see John, who is an elderly man and gives out samples. We see him from time to time and he is so happy and friendly. John wasn’t at the store on Sunday, so my daughter decided that it would be a good idea to distribute her smile cards to the store’s other employees. So she did. In the produce department, she gave a card to a young man and she hoped it would make him smile. And he smiled at her and thanked her. Then she came across an older gentleman who looked rather impatient. And she snuck a card into his cart on top of his groceries, remarking to me later that he looked at her suspiciously as if she was dumping trash in his cart. But I thought he would be happy later. When we got back from our shopping trip, she had run out of cards. She was walking by a woman with two babies in her cart. My daughter smiled at her and the young mother smiled back. My daughter came to me and said excitedly, “Mom, I just realized something. You don’t need cards to make someone smile. All you need to do is make eye contact and smile into their eyes and they will smile back.” What a beautiful lesson my daughter reminded me of. You are never too young or too old to experiment with kindness and smiles. 小题1:At first, the writer’s daughter made an experiment by ______.A.giving smile cards | B.giving samples | C.making eye contact | D.giving groceries | 小题2:According to the text, John was a man ______.A.who is very young and lively | B.who may be a salesman | C.who is in trouble and needs smiles | D.who is never seen to smile | 小题3:The underlined word “distribute” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.A.make up | B.tear up | C.give out | D.sell out | 小题4:From the text, we can learn that ______.A.John got a smile card from the writer’s daughter | B.the older gentleman would smile later after he got the smile card | C.we could make others smile only by giving them what they wanted | D.the mother with two babies smiled because she got a smile card |
