  As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been  16 only once — for a woman who had merely fainted. But the  17 made me quite curious about how  18 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if  19 with a real midair medical emergency — without access  20 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So  21 the New England Journal of Medicine last week  22 a study about in-flight medical events, I read it  23 interest.

  The study estimated that there are a(n)  24 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not  25 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 26 13% of them — roughly four a day — are serious enough to  27 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies  28 heart trouble, strokes, and difficulty breathing.

  Let’s face it: plane rides are  29 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly    30 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty  31 , but passengers with heart disease  32 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood.  33 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis — the so-called economy class syndrome (综合症).  34 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation (立法), flights with at    35 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.

  All kinds of people come in to have their shoes shined.Most of them are friendly.But this man was different.

  “How much do you make a week, boy?” he asked me.I felt he was   1   at me.

  He kept taking a sharp   2   around every now and then.All the time I kept   3   where I’d seen his face.Suddenly I knew I’d seen his   4   in the post office many times.He was a big robber:  5   by the police in three states!

  “You know,”he was saying,“it’s imagination people lack.You’ll never get   6   as a shoeshine boy.”

  I kept brushing away at his shoes as   7   as I could.The sooner I finished the better.He said,“When I was sixteen, I had   8   $2500 of my own.”

  That reminded me of something.Was it $2500 or $5000 or $25 000?I wasn’t   9  .I knew a big reward was   10   for him.What could I do about it?  11   him with a can of shoe polish?A man has   12   could grind(碾碎)me into the floor.If only someone would come in!

  He kept talking away,“Along with   13  , it takes courage.The courage to take a chance.Start something on a shoestring.”

  Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey   14   across the street.Then, real fast, I began tightening the man’s shoestrings.

  The policeman was at the window when I cried out,“Officer Dailey,   15  !This man’s a robber.”

  “  16  ,” the man shouted angrily.He started to jump off the stand.It didn’t go the   17   he planned.He fell flat on his face and knocked himself out cold.

  “That was pretty   18   of you,” the officer said.“You’ll get a reward of $7500 for him.”

  “Well, it really wasn’t my   19  ,” I said.“It was his.He told me if you had courage and imagination you could start something   20   on a shoestring.”

As a result of pollution , Lake Erie , on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without any living things.  
Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organism(生物体 ) to be affected are either plants or plankton. But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river’s edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.  
Where do the substances which pollute the water come form? There are two main sources sewage (污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂 ) is used in the home, so more of it is finally put into our rivers. lakes and seas. Detergents harm water birds dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are many highly poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead(铅 ).  
So , if we want or stop this pollution , the answer is simple: sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into the water. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.  
72. Pollution in water is noticed _____.   
A. when the first organisms are affected    B. when a good many fish and birds die   
C. when poisonous things are poured into water        
D. as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed   
73. The living things die because there is no ____ in the lake or river.    
A. water          B. fish               C. poison           D. oxygen   
74. Which of the following is harmful according to the passage?   
A. Organisms                             B. Plants and plankton in the water       
C. Waste water from cleaning   D. Industrial waste made clear before flowing into the water   
75.The way to stop water pollution is _______.  
A. realize the serious situation clearly   
B. put oxygen into the river   
C. make the waste material harmless before flowing into the water   
D. make special room in the sea for our rubbish  

Bicycle Safety

Alone in the States,he  45  his helplessness and lack of fluency in English. He managed to rent a small apartment,and nine months later,sent airline tickets for my mom,my brother and me.

Decades later, 46 an American citizen,I look back at what he'd shown me. He set an example proving that determination is important to success. His  47  taught me valuable lessons for my own path in the darkness.

I did the same as I stepped into a  48  world. I fulfilled (完成) my own  49  as a wife,mom,Sunday school teacher and Spanish interpreter. What I inherited from my father helped me to 50  my life in a whole new light.
