Mark was an air-force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost sight, he decided to use every method to help his wife.
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but she was now too frightened to go to work by herself. Mark suggested taking the bus
with him each morning and evening.
For two weeks, Mark, in military uniform, took the bus with Susan to and from work each day, Mark taught her to rely on her other senses, especially her hearing. He helped her make friends with the bus drivers who could watch out for her and save her a seat.
Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a taxi back to his office, although that meant he had to travel through the city. Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan would be able to take the bus on her own. He believed in her.

On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was getting off the bus, the driver said," Miss, I sure envy you." Susan asked the driver why. "You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you when you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches you until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady," the bus driver said.
Tears of happiness poured down Susan’s cheeks. She was so lucky, for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight, the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.

Scientists may have found a way to reduce shortage of type O blood. Type O is the kind of blood that hospitals most often need. What the researchers are testing is an easier way to make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.
There are four main kinds of blood. Most people born with one of these four: Type A, Type B, Type AB or Type O. Type O can be safely given to anyone. So it is commonly used when a person is injured or sick and has to have blood.
Type O is the most common blood group. But the supplies of it available in hospitals and blood banks are usually limited. This is because of the high demand for it. Type O blood is used in emergencies when there is no time to identify the patient’s blood type.
Giving A, B or AB to someone with a different blood type, including O, can cause a bad reaction by the person’s defense system. Their immune system (免疫系统) can reject the blood. This immune reaction can be deadly.
The differences among blood types are linked to whether or not red blood cells contain certain kinds of sugar molecules. These molecules are found on the surface of the cells. They are known as antigens ( 抗 原 ). These antigens are found with type A, B and AB blood but not with type O.
A year ago, scientists found that the antigens could be removed to create what they called universal-type cells. They could be removed with chemicals called enzymes ( 酶 ). But large amounts of enzymes were required to make the change.
Doctor Henrik Clausen of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark led the study. The next step, he says, is to complete safety tests. The team is working with the American company ZymeQuest to test the new method. If it meets safety requirements, it could become a widely used life-saving tool to increase the supply of universal blood.
How do scientists deal with the problem of lacking type O blood?
Make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.
Make the most of the present type O blood.
Develop new ways of using type O blood.
Appeal to more people to donate type O blood.
What make people have different kinds of blood?
Sugar molecules in red blood cells.
People's different living conditions.
The variety of people's cells and genes
People's various immune systems.
What can we infer from the text?
Antigens could easily be removed to create universal blood.
A Danish company wanted to involve itself in studying blood.
Type O blood can be safely given to anyone.
The new method is not safe enough to be put into use in hospitals now.
What is the best title for the text?
Four different kinds of blood.
A new way to make type O blood.
The latest research on blood type.
Find the proper type of blood.
D
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull carbon dioxide or CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere, making trees an important part of the fight against climate change. But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising
atmospheric CO2 is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen. High levels of this gas are boosting temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added. The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast- growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether this is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 70,000 sites worldwide. “By measuring tree rings’ widths one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees’ maximum lifespan (寿命).” Brienen explained.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest. Early on, it showed that
“the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
What is the first paragraph mainly about?
Why trees against climate change should be rethought.
Whether trees will be planted or not.
Why the atmosphere can remove carbon dioxide.
Where carbon dioxide or CO2 is.
Why are trees growing faster than ever according to recent studies?
A. They give off and store lots of CO2. B. They belong to fast-growing species.
C. Rising atmospheric CO2 may help them. D. The surrounding trees may affect them.
According to tree rings’ widths, we can know a tree’s .
A. growth speed B. height C. age D. top lifespan
What might be talked about in the following paragraph?
Why the team founded the computer program.
Why the faster trees grow, the longer they live.
How to make the old trees live a little longer.
How to deal with dying trees emitting their extra carbon

It is important to teach your dog to guard you and the other members of your family against danger. Here are some tips on how to train your dog to protect you.
Use proper commands.
A dog acts according to how it has been trained. The only way to do this is through commands and your own body actions and sounds. 36 Soon, whenever you use the command “Attack!”, your dog will understand that it needs to fight the thing you are pointing at. While you are training the dog to attack, you must also train it to stop the attack.
Encourage socializing.
It is very important to introduce your puppy to other people and let it interact with them. 37 This exercise is very important because it will help the dog distinguish(辨别) between good people and bad people. People who are good will be those who are allowed to come close to it and pat it.
38
Teach your dog to keep a check on the house by taking it around the house and making it sniff(嗅) the area. You will need to do this a couple of times so that the dog understands that it needs to keep a check every night. After a few days, the dog will begin to do this exercise on its own. It will check the house and return back indoors.
39
Giving rewards such as a pat, a hug, verbal praise “Good dog!” or treats is an excellent way of letting the dog know that you are happy with its behavior. Since you are the master, it is your duty to make sure your dog is rewarded for its good behavior and punished for its bad behavior. Punishment involves scolding the dog by using the command “Bad dog!” or “No, very bad!” 40
Teach night guarding.
Reward it for its good behavior.
Command the dog to attack by saying the word “attack” loudly.
An older dog can also be trained to protect its master.
A good guard dog is friendly to the people around it.
This will help the dog learn that it mustn’t do certain things.
If your dog does not come inside, you will need to command it to get back.

Dear Alex,
I’m glad to tell you that I’m going to visit London during the summer holidays. Not being familiar with London, I’m writing to ask you for help.
First of all, it would be nice if you could help me book a hotel room downtown in advance so that I can enjoy the convenient public transport. Secondly, as a saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Therefore, to avoid embarrassing situations, I hope that you can tell me something about the local culture, the weather and how to get along with others. In addition, you may as well introduce some tourist attractions in London to me, which will make my trip more enjoyable.
I would really appreciate it if you could help me. Looking forward to your early reply.
