What others thought was just an exercise routine to lose weight was, for Chen Yurong, a way to save her son’s life.

       The 51-year-old Hubei native knew she had to improve the condition of her liver in order for doctors to cut part of it out — and transplant it into her son’s body.

       So in February she went on a diet and marched about 10 km a day. The result was a successful 14-hour operation to save her son from a life-threatening liver disease.

       “In order to give my young granddaughter a complete family, I’d like to do everything to save my son,” Chen said before the operation.

       While Chen and her 31-year-old son, Ye Haibin, are now in stable condition at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan. He suffers from Wilson’s disease. Health experts said a living organ donation was not the best way for Chen to save her son, considering that about 1 out of 1,000 liver donors die after the transplant operation.

       “Living organ donation is just an alternative when there’s no suitable deceased organ donated,” said Chen Shi, an organ transplant expert. “It’s kind of a dilemma facing transplant doctors worldwide whether to do living organ transplantations, which involve potential health risks for the donor(捐献者), particularly in countries like China without robust (健全的) voluntary organ donations after death,” he said.

       Last December, when Ye was again rushed to hospital, doctors said that a liver transplant would be the only way to lengthen his life. That’s when Chen made the decision to give part of her own, as it’s even harder and more expensive to get a match from others.

       Vice-Health Minister Huang Jiefu previously warned that living organ donations involve risks for both donor and recipient. In the worst cases, both could die, he said. “We have had such tragedies in China before. The best way is to set up a nationwide deceased organ donation system and encourage more people to donate organs for life-saving transplants after death,” he said.

56.   In February, Chen Yurong marched 10 km every day because       .

       A. she just followed the present trend (潮流)

       B. she wanted to lose her weight by marching

       C. getting some exercise was her daily routine

       D. she tried to make her liver fit enough for the transplant

57.   The underlined word “deceased” (Paragraph 6) means       .

       A. cheap  B. safe    C. healthy       D. dead

58.   We can infer from the passage that       .

       A. Doing living organ transplantations is the only way to save a person’s life

       B. Chen Yurong marched 10 km a day as soon as her son was rushed to hospital

       C. not enough people are now willing to donate organs for transplants after death

       D. Chen Yurong’s son failed to come back to life after the 14-hour operation

59.   Which would be the best headline for the news story?

       A. Mother risks life to save her son’s.

       B. A successful living organ transplant.

       C. An effective way of losing weight.

       D. An organ donation system to be set up.
