Transplant can change a patient’s life greatly. D. It is not easy to get organs for transplant. B I needed to get some money, so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget. I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly , there is the special winter stock and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds (clothes not in perfect condition)for the sale and they are sold very cheaply. When I arrived half an hour before opening the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping. It was battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind. Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get neat themselves. Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper! I was taking my money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this. In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain, it was OK. You won’t believe this, but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

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.

1.Which of the following is true about the 19-year-old?

A.He died of liver trouble.

B.He got wounded in a battle.

C.He was willing to donate his organs.

D.He became a recipient of a prize.

2.What do we learn about Dick Winter?

A.He is becoming less competitive now.

B.He is always thinking about his early life.        

C.He knows all about the young man and his family.

D.He values friendships more than material things. 

3.Dr Levy would agree that ________.

A.Spanish hospitals have more favorable conditions for organ transplant

B.the Canadian public have realised the importance of organ donation

C.Spanish hospitals received more money from the donors

D.Canadian hospitals now have enough donated organs

4.What's the author's purpose in writing this article?

A.The public should give more support to organ transplant.

B.Transplant patients are thankful for the help they receive.

C.Transplant can change a patient's life greatly.

D.It is not easy to get organs for transplant.
