                                                            Organ Transplantations
     There were many horror stories in the 19th century about crazy (疯狂的) doctors who took a part of one
man's body and put it in that of another man's. The writers did not think it was possible, but in today's world
it is possible with some parts of the body-hearts, for example. But how far can this go in the future? Will
people be able to have new arms or legs, or even heads? It may not be crazy. We already have heart transplants
(移植), and artificial (人造的; 假的) arms, legs and hands. We have artificial muscles (肌肉) that use air to
move. We have computers which we put inside people to help make their bodies work. We can make artificial
ears, artificial eyes like small television cameras, and artificial throats, which make voices like the real thing. Mr.
White, a professor in a university in the United States says it will not be long before we have head transplants.
     "We can do this with the technology (技术) we have now. There is only one big problem-when we cut off
the old head, the nerves (神经) which join the rest of the body to the head is also cut and broken. The new head
could hear and see, but body could not move. But in the future, scientists will be able to make the head grow its
own nerves and join itself to the nerves in the body, like a plant grows into the soil."
     When will all this happen? In a few hundred years perhaps, says Professor White, who also says that his
ideas are as crazy as the ideas of the man who said a hundred years ago that it was possible to walk on the
moon.

Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection,it is more likely that we'll  __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵).  __46__,it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly  __47__  about. We may have some criticism(批评)in our mind about the  __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend  __49__  time.

Often, when we  __50__  qualities in other people, ironically(讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's  __51__  to us.

At times we meet someone  __52__  and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted.  __53__  we don't want to believe it,and it's not easy or  __54__  to look further,it can be a great learning lesson to  __55__  what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.

  Let’s face it-English is a crazy language.There is no egg in eggplant(茄子)nor ham in hamburger; Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.English muffins(松饼)weren’t invented in England or French fries in France.Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

  We take English for granted.But if we explore its paradox(似是而非的说法), we find that quicksand(流沙)can work slowly, boxing rings are square and guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is a pig.

  If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

  How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?How can a person be“pretty ugly”?

  You have to marvel at the unique lunacy(荒谬)of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.Why is a“crazy man”an insult(侮辱), while to insert a comma and say“crazy, man”is a compliment(as when clapping for a Jazz performance).

  English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race(which, of course, isn’t a race at all).That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
