When you cut your skin, you bleed(流血)．If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die．Blood is very important．People have always known that．At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!
When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it．They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it．This is called"blood transfusion"．The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person．
But there are two problems．First, it does not always work．Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion．Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood．There are four groups－O, A, B and AB．We all have blood of one of these groups．They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB．But they find that they must give A－group blood to A－group people and B－group blood to B－group people．I have O－group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely．
There is another problem．To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group．Often they can not find a person in time．If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood．At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days．They do this by making it very cold． Then they find how to keep it longer．In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time．
We call a place where we keep money a "bank"．We call a place where we keep blood a"blood bank"．One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a "blood bank" ．In this way you may stop someone from dying．Or perhaps one day you may become ill． You may need blood． The "blood bank" will give it to you．

The writer doesn't talk about ________ in the passage．
You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
(1)
