Scientific educational toys can develop kid’s reasoning, problem-solving and critical thinking capacity and improve their hand-eye coordination. But the most powerful thing is that the children will associate learning with fun. That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best:
·Science Kit
You can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It’s a 20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions. It’s recommended for kids aged 6 and above, with adult company. You don’t have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with instructions for possible experiments.
·Mini Terra Kit
You don’t have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids about the natural world. This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light. It includes a terrarium jar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids.
·Gravity Run
This classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down. The games are designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning. With 60 challenges (beginner to expert), this award-winning game can be enjoyed by all the family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures.
·WeRo Kit
This prize-winning robot toy features over 840 pieces, a WeRo Move Hub, Interactive Moto, and a Distance Sensor. You can build it into 5 completely different robots, meaning endless fun for the kids and even adults. Once they’ve built the character of their choice, they can programme it to perform countless tasks including walking and talking on its own.

I’ve been keeping an honesty journal for the past several months. The day I started the journal my 6-year-old daughter asked me if the cat really went to sleep last year, and if that actually meant that I had killed him. I sighed, wondering if I should wait to start this honesty project until she was grown-up. But I braved it and told her that I had made the choice for him to die, because he was suffering and I wanted him to be at peace. She lost interest about halfway through my explanation.
It struck me that the choice to lie or be honest was often a choice between two equally undesirable things. Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier, but lying wouldn’t have either.
Over all, I found that I struggled more with the small instances of honesty, rather than the big. So, when a client accidentally paid me twice for a project, there was no internal debate. It was $1,000, so obviously, I notified the client. But when the McDonald’s drive-through cashier gave me an extra dollar in change and the line had been so long and my kids were acting crazy in the back seat... it was a different story. Even though I gave the dollar back, I almost didn’t, because an extra dollar was such a small thing and seemed somehow justified.
Even though honesty felt like a struggle, I started to like how it felt. When I was more honest, I tended to feel better about my relationships and myself. I like the saying, “Everybody wants the truth, but nobody wants to be honest.” I didn’t always want to be honest. But I wanted the truth, and this focus on honesty helped me feel that I was doing my part.
The bottom line is that focusing on honesty is a way to actively engage with the world, instead of passively complaining about it. It might even make you feel like you have gold in your brain.
24. How did the author’s daughter react to her explanation
A. She paid little attention to it.
B. She thought it was incredible.
C. She would rather the author lied to her.
D. She was very sad and blamed the author.
25. What lesson did the author learn from the cat event
A. Telling a white lie was not acceptable.
B. Making the choice for the cat was wrong.
C. Lying and being honest were a tricky pair.
D. Telling the truth could make people happy.
26. What does the author want to show by mentioning her McDonald’s experience
A. It’s crazy to choose to be honest.
B. People are likely to have two characters.
C. It’s the small instances that test one’s honesty.
D. People tend to ignore honesty concerning small things.
27. What is the author’s attitude toward honesty
A. It is impossible to expect it. B. It is good to focus on it.
C. It is reasonable to popularize it. D. It is hard to learn from it.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们：关注诚实可以让人更快乐。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“She lost interest about halfway through my explanation. (我刚解释到大约一半，她就失去了兴趣。)”可知，作者的女儿对作者的解释不关注。故答案是A。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“It struck me that the choice to lie or be honest was often a choice between two equally undesirable things. Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier, but lying wouldn’t have either.(我突然意识到，选择说谎还是诚实，往往是在两件同样不受欢迎的事情之间做出选择。告诉女儿真相并没有让我更快乐，但撒谎也不会。)”可推断，从关于猫的事件中，作者意识到诚实和撒谎之间的关系是棘手的。故答案是C。
3.推理判断题。第三段首句“Over all, I found that I struggled more with the small instances of honesty, rather than the big. (总的来说，我发现我更纠结于诚实的小问题，而不是大问题。)”是本段的主题句。之后作者采用了对比的写作手法，将客户重复支付和麦当劳找零的事进行对比，说明主题。因此推断提到她在麦当劳的经历是为了说明人们倾向于忽视对小事的诚实。故答案是D。
4. 推理判断题。在文章最后两段，作者发表了对诚实的看法。根据倒数第二中“Even though honesty felt like a struggle, I started to like how it felt. When I was more honest, I tended to feel better about my relationships and myself. (尽管诚实是一种挣扎，我开始喜欢上这种感觉了。当我变得更诚实时，我往往对我的人际关系和我自己感觉更好。)以及最后一段“It might even make you feel like you have gold in your brain. (它甚至可能让你觉得你的大脑里有金子)”可知，作者认为关注诚实是有好处的。故答案是B。
C
Fewer than 250 people have feasted their eyes on the Titanic since it was discovered on the seabed of the North Atlantic Oceans in 1985, but a small number of citizen explorers will make the epic two-mile journey to the depths this year.
OceanGate Expeditions announced its second annual expedition to the wreck in the summer of 2022. The Titanic Expedition is conducted as a series of eight-day missions starting in May and ending in June 2022, and each seat costs $250, 000.
Aaron Newman, OceanGate Expedition Mission Specialist during the 2021 trip, said in a statement: “This is one of the most interesting and unique experiences I have ever had. Less than around 200 people have ever been down to the Titanic and seen the wreck in 110 years. Even diving to almost 4000 meters in a submersible (潜水器) is an experience onto itself. That’s what life is about.”
The citizen explorers will begin their adventure by sailing on the expedition ship from St. John’s in Newfoundland, Canada, to the site of the Titanic wreckage, located 370 miles away. The Titan submersible is equipped with the latest camera technologies to capture ultra-high-resolution imagery (超高清影像) that will help determine the wreck’s rate of decay and assess the marine life that dwell on it. An experienced submersible pilot, P. H. Nargeolet said in a statement: “We have a lot of room inside the Titan submersible. We can have five people in the sub and there is a big view port.”
The Titanic, which was called the “unsinkable ship”, went down on April 14, 1912, four days into her first voyage from Southampton, England to New York. The giant ship collided with an iceberg and in the end, 1,517 of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard died.
According to the National Oceanic and Atomspheric Adminstration, te ship is likely to collapse within the next 40 years.
28. What did Aaron Newman think of the 2021 expedition to the wreck of Titanic
A. It was fantastic. B. It was expensive. C. It was demanding. D. It was worthless.
29. What does the underline word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The rate of decay. B. The wreck. C. The high-tech camera. D. The Titan submersible.
30. What do we know about the 2022 Titanic expedition
A. Explorers will go to the depth of 370 meters under the sea.
B. Explorers can learn about the marine life on the wreck through a high-resolution telescope.
C. Explorers will have a series of eight-day missions in the fall of 2022.
D. Explorers will share a big view port in the spacious submersible.
31. What’s the purpose of paragraph 5
A. To present a detail. B. To introduce the expedition.
C. To add the background information. D. To attract people to buy the 2022 trip.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C

For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.
Blood transfusions aren’t as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else. There’re several different blood types that don’t all mix well. If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood, their body will reject the blood cells, causing problems. For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells (干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.
This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion. For one thing, they can be adjusted for people with different blood types. That’ll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types. Also, a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages, which means only a small part of them are brand new. The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.
To test its safety, researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people, both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions. In all, they’ll be tested on 10 people, and compared to normal transfusions. The new process doesn’t indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear. Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done. But if it’s successful, the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types.
32 What is special about the red blood cells in1 the experiment
A. They’re given by those with rare blood types.
B. They’re collected from seriously ill patients.
C. They’re specifically for a single blood type.
D. They’ve never existed in any human bodies.
33. What is the disadvantage of normal blood transfusion
A. Blood reserves are often inadequate.
B. It often takes the patient a lot of time.
C. Most normal blood cells don’t live long.
D. It’s unfit for those with rare blood types.
34. What can be inferred about the new process of red blood cells
A. It will have a long way to go.
B. It’ll replace normal transfusions.
C. It will separate rare blood types.
D. It’ll reduce blood research costs.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Blood Transfusions Get Easier
B. Rare Blood Types Are Not Rare
C. Rare Blood Cells Need Donating
D. Scientists Test Lab-created Blood
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是一种新的给患者输血的方式，即给患者提供红细胞，这种输血方式一旦成功，将会使得经常输血的患者，即使是那些具有稀有血型的患者的生活变的轻松。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells (干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.(英国布里斯托大学的科学家有史以来第一次在人类志愿者身上测试实验室中生长的红细胞。 科学家们使用来自血液样本的干细胞来培养数十亿个全新的红细胞)”可知，这些红细胞是在实验室中培养生长的，而不是在人体内。故选D项
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.(在实验室中生长的红细胞是全新的，这意味着它们的持续时间更长，患者需要的输血更少)”可知，常规的血细胞寿命不长。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done.(同时，在实验室中培养红细胞非常昂贵。还有很多工作和测试需要做)”可推知，红细胞的处理过程还有很远的路要走。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.(多年来，医生一直为需要血液生存的患者提供血液。这些输血通常包括给患者提供红细胞)”以及第二段中的“For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells(干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells. (英国布里斯托大学的科学家有史以来第一次在人类志愿者身上测试实验室中生长的红细胞。科学家们使用来自血液样本的干细胞来培养数十亿个全新的红细胞)”可知，本文主要讲述的是科学家在实验室研发的一种红细胞输血方式。由此可知，Scientists Test Lab-created Blood(科学家测试实验室创造的血液)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。

Knowing How and When to Say Sorry Can Build Better Friendship
Have you ever argued with a friend and said or done something you regretted ___36___. Knowing how to apologize can help you become friends again and to understand why you fell out in the first place.
Why do we argue
We argue for all kinds of reasons. For example, you might think your football team is fantastic, but your friend disagrees, or you don’t want someone to join in your game. Sometimes, especially if you are angry, things can become out of control, and you’ll say or do something you regret. ___37___. But it’s important to resolve your differences afterwards so bad feelings don’t get worse. This is where an apology can help.
What does saying sorry mean
We all make mistakes, and apologizing is a way of admitting we’ve got something wrong and will try not to do it again. ___38___ . An apology needs to show the other person that you are genuinely sorry, you accept responsibility for your actions, and that you want their forgiveness.
___39___
Sometimes another person may pressure you into taking the blame when it has nothing to do with you. If you feel this is happening, try talking about why you argued in the first place and explain how it made you feel. If you still can’t agree, you could ask a parent or teacher to help you resolve the problem.
Does apologizing always work
A genuine apology is a magic word. It may take time for someone to understand and forgive. ___40___. But you can feel good about trying to fix things and promising yourself to do better next time.
A. What if it’s not my fault
B. How should we apologize to others
C. Try it again if you fail to get others’ forgiveness

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了知识付费越来越流行，以及流行的原因。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：包括微博、分答和知乎Live在内的知识付费平台和应用程序，允许人们花钱让专业人士回答他们的问题，或者看到别人提供的在线答案，现在在中国正变得流行起来。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，应该用关系代词引导，先行词是前面Pay-for-knowledge platforms and apps, including Weibo, Fenda and Zhihu Live，指物，应用which引导。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：包括微博、分答和知乎Live在内的知识付费平台和应用程序，允许人们花钱让专业人士回答他们的问题，或者看到别人提供的在线答案，现在在中国正变得流行起来。分析句子结构可知，“_______allow people to pay money to have their questions answered by professionals or see online answers provided to others”是which引导的非限制性定语从句，主语是Pay-for-knowledge platforms and apps为复数，所以用are和becoming构成现在进行时。故填are。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词和时态。句意：据报道，中国亿万富翁王健林的儿子王思聪在知识付费平台上提供了一个四个汉字的答案，获得了8万元人民币。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词was reported，所以receive应该用非谓语形式，此处是固定搭配：be reported to do表示“据说/传闻……”，又因为receive发生在was reported之前，所以用动词不定式的完成式。故填to have received。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：这个问题最初的价格是5000元。分析句子结构可知，此处应用副词修饰谓语动词，作状语，origin的副词形式是originally。故填originally。
【65题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：根据相关平台制定的规定，这笔收入将由平台、王思聪和提问者分享。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以share做谓语，主语是The income，两者间是被动关系，用被动语态，空前是情态动词would，be动词应用原形。故填be shared。
【66题详解】
考查名词。句意：根据相关平台制定的规定，这笔收入将由平台、王思聪和提问者分享。分析句子结构可知，空前to是介词，后接名词，regulation意为“章程”为可数名词，根据句意，此处应该用复数形式，表示泛指。故填regulations。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：根据相关平台制定的规定，这笔收入将由平台、王思聪和提问者分享。分析句子结构可知，此处动词involve和名词platform是被动关系，应用involve的过去分词作后置定语。故填involved。
【68题详解】
考查代词。句意：关于财经和健康的问题最吸引人，也为名人提供了一种将名气转化为金钱的新途径。分析句子结构可知，空后是名词fame，所以空处应填形容词性物主代词，作定语修饰fame。故填their。
【69题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：随着越来越多的人在网上提问，名人答案的价格也有所上涨。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词increased，所以ask用非谓语动词形式，在with的复合结构中，名词more people和ask是主动关系，所以用现在分词asking作宾语补足语。故填asking。
【70题详解】
考查介词。句意：分答的联合创始人杨路表示，价格取决于供求关系。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定短语：depend on/upon意为“取决于”。故填on/upon。

It has been deep spring now, but the weather is still comfortably. Three of my friend and I went to East Lake the last Sunday. We meet each other at 8:00 am but then we went there by bike. It took us forty minutes get there. We went boating first after we got there. It was really interesting. And then we had a picnic. We prepared some meat, vegetables, corns and another food.

【详解】1.考查形容词。根据上文is可知此处应用形容词comfortable，作表语。故 comfortably改为comfortable。
2.考查名词的数。句意：上个星期天，我和我的三个朋友去了东湖。friend为可数名词，由three of修饰应用复数形式。故friend改为friends。
3.考查固定短语。句意同上。结合句意表示“上个星期天”可知短语为last Sunday，前面不需要冠词。故去掉the。
4.考查动词时态。结合上文可知事情发生在过去，应用一般过去时。故meet改为met。
5.考查连词。句意：我们在早上8点见面，然后我们骑自行车去那里。结合前后文语境可知，此处为承接关系，应用连词and。故but改为and。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：我们花了40分钟才到那儿。此处为句型“it takes/took sb.+一段时间+to do sth.”，表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”。故get前添加to。
7.考查代词。句意：我们准备了一些肉，蔬菜，玉米和其他食物。此处修饰名词food应用other，表示除了肉和蔬菜以外的其他食物，another表示“另一个”。故another改为other。
8.考查代词。句意：我们大约在下午4点回家，我们度过了很棒的一天。结合上文“We went home at about 4:00 pm”可知此处指“我们度过了很棒的一天”应用代词us。故them改为us。
9.考查形容词。此处为“make sb. feel+形容词”结构，表示“让某人感觉……”，且此处修饰人应用-ed结尾形容词relaxed，表示“放松的”；relaxing表示“令人放松的”，用于修饰事物。故relaxing改为relaxed。
10.考查宾语从句。此处为宾语从句，从句中不缺少成分，句意完整，故应用只起连接作用的that引导从句。故what改为that。

I’ve been keeping an honesty journal for the past several months. The day I started the journal, my 6-year-old daughter asked me if the cat really went to sleep last year, and if that actually meant that I had killed him. I sighed, wondering if I should wait to start this honesty project until she was grown-up. But I braved it and told her that I had made the choice for him to die, because he was suffering and I wanted him to be at peace. She lost interest about halfway through my explanation.
It struck me that the choice to lie or be honest was often a choice between two equally undesirable things. Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier, but lying wouldn’t have either.
Over all, I found that I struggled more with the small instances of honesty, rather than the big. So, when a client accidentally paid me twice for a project, there was no internal debate. It was $1,000, so obviously, I notified the client. But when the McDonald’s drive-through cashier gave me an extra dollar in change and the line had been so long and my kids were acting crazy in the back seat... it was a different story. Even though I gave the dollar back, I almost didn’t, because an extra dollar was such a small thing and seemed somehow justified.
Even though honesty felt like a struggle, I started to like how it felt. When I was more honest, I tended to feel better about my relationships and myself. I like the saying, “Everybody wants the truth, but nobody wants to be honest.” I didn’t always want to be honest. But I wanted the truth, and this focus on honesty helped me feel that I was doing my part.
The bottom line is that focusing on honesty is a way to actively engage with the world, instead of passively complaining about it. It might even make you feel like you have gold in your brain.
24. How did the author’s daughter react to her explanation
A. She paid little attention to it.
B. She thought it was incredible.
C. She would rather the author lied to her.
D. She was very sad and blamed the author.
25. What lesson did the author learn from the cat event
A Telling a white lie was not acceptable.
B. Making the choice for the cat was wrong.
C. Lying and being honest were a tricky pair.
D. Telling the truth could make people happy.
26. What does the author want to show by mentioning her McDonald’s experience
A. It’s crazy to choose to be honest.
B. People are likely to have two characters.
C. It’s the small instances that test one’s honesty.
D. People tend to ignore honesty concerning small things.
27. What is the author’s attitude toward honesty
A. It is impossible to expect it. B. It is good to focus on it.
C. It is reasonable to popularize it. D. It is hard to learn from it.
C
Fewer than 250 people have feasted their eyes on the Titanic since it was discovered on the seabed of the North Atlantic Oceans in 1985, but a small number of citizen explorers will make the epic two-mile journey to the depths this year.
OceanGate Expeditions announced its second annual expedition to the wreck in the summer of 2022. The Titanic Expedition is conducted as a series of eight-day missions starting in May and ending in June 2022, and each seat costs $250, 000.
Aaron Newman, OceanGate Expedition Mission Specialist during the 2021 trip, said in a statement: “This is one of the most interesting and unique experiences I have ever had. Less than around 200 people have ever been down to the Titanic and seen the wreck in 110 years. Even diving to almost 4000 meters in a submersible (潜水器) is an experience onto itself. That’s what life is about.”
The citizen explorers will begin their adventure by sailing on the expedition ship from St. John’s in Newfoundland, Canada, to the site of the Titanic wreckage, located 370 miles away. The Titan submersible is equipped with the latest camera technologies to capture ultra-high-resolution imagery (超高清影像) that will help determine the wreck’s rate of decay and assess the marine life that dwell on it. An experienced submersible pilot, P. H. Nargeolet said in a statement: “We have a lot of room inside the Titan submersible. We can have five people in the sub and there is a big view port.”
The Titanic, which was called the “unsinkable ship”, went down on April 14, 1912, four days into her first voyage from Southampton, England to New York. The giant ship collided with an iceberg and in the end, 1,517 of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard died.
According to the National Oceanic and Atomspheric Adminstration, te ship is likely to collapse within the next 40 years.
28. What did Aaron Newman think of the 2021 expedition to the wreck of Titanic
A. It was fantastic. B. It was expensive. C. It was demanding. D. It was worthless.
29. What does the underline word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The rate of decay. B. The wreck. C. The high-tech camera. D. The Titan submersible.
30. What do we know about the 2022 Titanic expedition
A. Explorers will go to the depth of 370 meters under the sea.
B. Explorers can learn about the marine life on the wreck through a high-resolution telescope.
C. Explorers will have a series of eight-day missions in the fall of 2022.
D. Explorers will share a big view port in the spacious submersible.
31. What’s the purpose of paragraph 5
A. To present a detail. B. To introduce the expedition.
C. To add the background information. D. To attract people to buy the 2022 trip.
D
For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.
Blood transfusions aren’t as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else. There’re several different blood types that don’t all mix well. If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood, their body will reject the blood cells, causing problems. For the first time ever, scientists from the University of Bristol, Britain, are carrying out a new trail: testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The scientists have used stem cells (干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.
This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion. For one thing, they can be adjusted for people with different blood types. That’ll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types. Also, a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages, which means only a small part of them are brand new. The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new, and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.
To test its safety, researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people, both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions. In all, they’ll be tested on 10 people, and compared to normal transfusions. The new process doesn’t indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear. Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still need to be done. But if it’s successful, the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions-even those with rare blood types.
32. What is special about the red blood cells in1 the experiment
A. They’re given by those with rare blood types.
B. They’re collected from seriously ill patients.
C. They’re specifically for a single blood type.
D. They’ve never existed in any human bodies.
33. What is the disadvantage of normal blood transfusion
A. Blood reserves are often inadequate.
B. It often takes the patient a lot of time.
C. Most normal blood cells don’t live long.
D. It’s unfit for those with rare blood types.
34. What can be inferred about the new process of red blood cells
A. It will have a long way to go.
B. It’ll replace normal transfusions.
C. It will separate rare blood types.
D. It’ll reduce blood research costs.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Blood Transfusions Get Easier
B. Rare Blood Types Are Not Rare
C. Rare Blood Cells Need Donating
D. Scientists Test Lab-created Blood
