22、 At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
【1】What do we know about James Harrison?
A. He saved 2.4 million poor people.
B. He is to retire as a blood donor.
C. He is a very grateful blood donor.
D. He donates blood nearly every day.
【2】What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4?
A. To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.
B. To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.
C. To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.
D. To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.
【3】What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?
A. After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.
B. New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C. He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
D. His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type
B. The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C. A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire
D. The Man with the Golden Arm
23、Several days ago, Madelyn McClarey's twin sons, Aaron and Aubrey Hough, both received scholarships to Florida A&M University. The mother found that if her twin sons moved seven hours' drive north from Hollywood to Tallahassee, she'd be lucky to see them on weekends.
But her sons had something else in mind. The twins told her they'd move to Tallahasseeon one condition: she had to go with them and work toward the college degree she'd always wanted. And that is how MeClarey ended up in a green cap and gown (学位服) this month at FAMU. Cheering her on were her twins. "Our mom is so determined and hardworking. We're lucky to have her as our mother," said Aaron. "It was a lot of hard work, but she never gave up."
McClarey's sons jumped as she was awarded a bachelor's degree (学士学位) in English and they were very excited because their mom finally had the degree she'd dreamed about for more than 20 years. Her professional goals were put on hold when she became a single mom caring for two kids. Before motherhood, McClarey had gone to business school.
McClarey, who described herself as "40ish", said that when her sons insisted she go with them to college four years ago, her jaw (下巴) dropped, saying most teens are eager to start lives away from their parents once they graduate from high school. She said, "But I was also happy when I realized they weren't joking and weren't going to leave home unless I moved with them, I said, “Well, all right, let's go.”
Now that MeClarey has graduated, she doesn't plan to leave Tallahassee anytime soon. She wants to stick around to encourage and support her sons, but there is also another matter to tend to. "My goal is to become an author someday," she said. "So this summer, I'll be working on getting my master's degree."

24、 Many teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.
On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life is fabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.
No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.
Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect too much from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.
As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A.What causes teens’ nervousness.
B.How to deal with teens’ anxiety.
C.What a view of life means to people.
D.How to treat social media appropriately.
【2】What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Wonderful.
B.Encouraging.
C.Anxious.
D.Doubtful.
【3】Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3?
A.To draw teachers’ attention.
B.To show teachers’ mental problems.
C.To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.
D.To show adults have more problems than teens.
【4】What should parents do to help their children out?
A.Try to meet their expectations.
B.Help them with their homework.
C.Give them more free time to play sports.
D.Allow them to solve their own problems in life.
