Andy loved the first grade. He loved his teacher,Mrs.Parks. He loved playing games on the playground. He loved learning about dinosaurs and the solar system (恐龙和太阳系).
Every morning Andy’s mother dropped him off in front of his school on South Street. One foggy morning,the traffic was so bad on South Street that she decided to drop him off behind the school. Andy walked for about ten minutes and got to the gate. He held the icy handle,but it didn’t move!Using both hands,he tried his hardest and finally the gate opened.
After Andy closed the gate behind him,he looked in the direction of the teaching building. But all he could see was fog. He got to the spot where the slide had always been,but it was not there.“The slide is gone!” he cried. He walked a little more to look for the swings,but they were not where they had always been.“The swings are gone!” he cried again.
Andy kept walking. He was so anxious to see the school that he fell and landed on the ground. He still couldn’t see the school. A terrible thought appeared in his head.“The school is gone!” he cried sadly. No more games with Jennie,Angel and Dillon,he thought. No more reading about dinosaurs. No more watching videos on the solar system...
Suddenly the boy saw something up ahead.“It’s Jennie!”he shouted. Then he saw the outline of a school building. His school was still there!He was full of excitement!
“Hi,Jennie!” he stood up and caught up with the girl.“I couldn’t see the school. I thought it was gone.” Jennie just laughed.“You’re so silly.” “What happened to the slide and the swings?” Andy asked.
“We will have new playground equipment today,” Jennie answered.“The old equipment was taken away last night. Don’t you remember Mrs. Parks telling us about it yesterday?” “I guess I forgot,” Andy said,smiling.“Anyway,I’m glad the school is here.”

My friend Jennie gave her bone marrow( 骨髓 )to a 50-year-old woman, a woman she has never met.

At the end of March, the Red Cross called back. Six different blood elements were tested ; Jennie matched five completely and was about a 3/4 match of the six. So she was the best match.

In April, Jennie went for a complete physical exam by one of the doctors who would perform the surgery. The doctor had to make sure that it would be no tread to her. The doctor told her that the surgery would need to have two quarts of bone marrow from her hip bones. Jennie would probably be released the same day the surgery took place and should expect to be painful for a couple of months.

 “I didn't think it was that big a deal until I realized I was a match,” Jennie said. “There was not a question in my head. It didn't seem like something that was going above and beyond. ”

Jennie was left with two very small scars on her lower back from the surgery and was giving medication to help reduce the pain. She still felt a great deal of pressure on her lower back. “Being only 21, I felt like I am not old enough to significantly impact  someone's life,” Jennie said. “ It seems strange to me that I could possibly save this woman's life which was being cut short by cancer. ”

Three weeks after the surgery, Jennie received a car from the Red Cross representative who told her the transplant was successful. “I feel good, and I think it will actually work for her. ” She said, “So many people say that they'd only donate if it was for a family member or close friend. This woman was someone's family and someone's friend. Obviously no one she knows is a match, and the fact that you'd be able to help a perfect stranger is greater. ”

A. a close friend    B. a stranger    C. a classmate    D. a relative

69. Before Jennie knew she was the best match, her feeling could be described as"______".

A.  A Great Woman                  B. To Save a Stranger
