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 turne
10、d 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. Harrisons blood is valuable bec
11、ause 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. “Its an amazing
12、 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. “Id keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended
13、 the age limit for blood donations for him, and theyre cutting him off now to protect his health.Harrisons 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 Harrisons retirement from giving blood
14、 doesnt mean hes 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.4Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?ABecause he wanted
15、 to be a celebrity.BBecause he was saved by the blood donations when he was young.CBecause his blood is valuable.DBecause the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.5What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?ARobyn Barlow was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood d

17、retirement, the Rh program will fail.CHarrisons influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.DA library has been built for the study of Harrisons DNA .7Which word can best describe Harrison?APatient. BDiligent.CTalented. DDevoted. Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species
18、 are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species. They decided that 91 perce
19、nt of them passed through dangerous areas.The major danger for migratory birds is development. Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important pla
20、ces have been lost to land reclamation (开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion”.The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they dont have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their e
21、nergy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. One species that doesnt exist now is t
22、he Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries. For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migra
23、ting birds. But a neighbor country might not. A bird might die.One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.He says small changes, like planting more native plants or keeping

DThe long journey.10According to the last two paragraphs, how should we protect the migrating birds?ABy keeping fewer cats or dogs.BBy restoring their destroyed habitats.CBy helping change the bird
26、s migration paths.DBy preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.11What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?ATo tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.BTo analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds habitats.CTo offer some solutions to the problem of
27、 birds habitats.DTo call on people to protect the birds habitats. The biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the pa
28、st.The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on
29、 perfecting the bags design. By 2012, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even pa
30、ssengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a disadvantage with his invention dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with tw
31、o to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged (揉搓) for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! Whats evenmore amazi
32、ng is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when its not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machi
