Sometime today—perhaps several times—Dick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.
Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours and laughter every day.
The young man saved Winter's life by signing an organ donor card(器官捐献卡).
“I can't say thank you enough,” Winter said yesterday at a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.
What Winter knows of the 19?year?old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate
his organs for transplantation.
His liver(肝脏) went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble. “Not a day goes by that I don't think of what a painful thing it must have been for them，”Winter said yesterday.
“They are very, very special people.”
Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to
collect some more next year in Japan.
“At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it's expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better.”
The biggest change for Winter, however, isn't that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about
his life now.
“I have no time for arguments,” said Winter.
“You change everything. Material things don't mean as much. Friendships mean a lot.”
Also at yesterday's news conference was Dr Gray Levy, Winter's doctor.
Levy said he has bitter?sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.
Levy knows that for every recipient(接受者) like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren't enough donated organs.
“For every Mr Winter,we have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr Winter was given，” Levy said.
Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive 10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors' families.

People do not analyze every problem they meet．Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 36 problem．They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people．Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error． 37 , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing．There are six 38 in analyzing a problem．
First the person must recognize that there is a problem．For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does．Sam must 39 that there is a problem with his bicycle．
Next the person must 40 the problem．Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work．For example, he must 41 the parts that are wrong．
Now the person must look for 42 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 43 solutions．For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes． 44 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 45 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully．
After 46 the problem, the person should have 47 suggestions for a possible solution．Take Sam as an example 48 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones．
In the end, one 49 seems to be the solution to the problem．Sometimes the 50 idea comes quite 51 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 52 way．Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum（口香糖）stuck to a brake．He 53 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 54 the brake．
Finally the solution is 55 ．Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly．In short, he has solved the problem．

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I 26 to some degree, though I sometimes do want to 27 them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his 28 and how much they know about football apart from 29 goals. It seems funny that we are 30 for things, with which we are unfamiliar or about which we are 31 , but we all, my friends as well as I, consider this one of life’s 32 .
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn't amount to craziness or nonsense. As an old saying goes: “Don't judge a book by its cover.” We 33 not judge anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good 34 and great contribution that make one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say 35 about Beckham’s good looks.
If we close our eyes, falling in deep thought, we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a 36 meaning. If we don't go deeper and are just satisfied with 37 things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first 38 has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant 39 we realize that and make some changes.
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a sign of great progress. If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it pains us, we will finally prove how much we have 40 up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have become.

New York State has passed the USA’s first state law banning motorists talking on hand-held cell phones. The ban will begin November 1, although drivers caught using hand-held cell phones will be given only warnings during the first month.
First-time violators(违法者) will face a ＄100 fine. A second time call for a ＄200 fine and every violation after that will cost＄500.
At least a dozen localities(地方) have established bans, starting in 1999; and 40 states have had bans proposed but not passed. At least 23 countries, including the Great Britain, Italy, Israel and Japan, ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones.
There are about 115 million cell phones in use in the United States and more than 6 million in New York State.
“To think that I’m not going to use cell phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop, I still can read a paper, I can still change my pants(裤子) while driving 65 mph. I think there’s just something wrong,” an official said.
Other critics noted that other things like eating, drinking coffee and applying make-up while driving posed(造成) at least as much of a concern. They suggested that the ban include a broader range of things.
1.How much fine will a hand-held cell phone user receive if he has been caught using it four times while driving after November?
A. $500. B. $1000. C. $1200. D. $1300.
2.We can see from this passage that _______.
A. the ban has been put into effect in most states in the U. S.
B. many of the developed countries forbid drivers using hand-held cell phones
C. over fifty localities or states ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones
D. more people in the U. S. are against the ban than for it
3.The official mentioned in this passage _______.
A. does not agree with this ban
B. doesn’t believe using hand-held cell phones while driving will cause any danger
C. doesn’t understand why hand-held cell phones alone should be banned among many others
D. believes changing pants while driving will cause greater danger
4.The writer intends to tell us in the last paragraph that _______.
A. it is not fair to have this ban passed
B. the ban will never be passed in the whole country
C. more activities of the same kind should also be banned

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It isn’t the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools which make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigation, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further; he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There’s no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration(实证) must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason why investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at the theory through mathematics. The accuracy(正确性) of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were proved to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations(计算) that may test his investigations
1. What makes a scientist according to the passage?
A. The tools he uses. B. His ways of learning
C. The way he uses his tools D. The various tools he uses
2. “…knowing how to investigation, how to discover information, is important to everyone.”
The writer says this to show ___________.
A. the importance of information
B. the difference between scientists and ordinary people.
C. the importance of thinking
D. the difference between carpenters and ordinary people
3. A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.
A. works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other times
B. doesn’t allow any change even under different conditions
C. Can be used many times under different conditions
D. Can be used for many purposes
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Scientists are different from ordinary people.
B. The Theory of Relativity.
C. Exactness is the core (核心) of science.
D. Exactness and way of using tools are the keys to making of a scientist.
