One day I took a bus with my girlfriend. It was so _6_ that we stood for several stops until a vacant seat was _7_ for her.
Then a pretty girl rushed towards me，saying，“Hi，where are you going？”I was so struck by the stranger that I had a hard time trying to _8_ her. Clearly she had taken me for somebody else. I returned her greeting with politeness，_9_ to give explanation to my girlfriend later.
Noticing my dialogue with somebody else，my girlfriend raised her eyes and found she was pretty. She asked jealously，“who’s she？” The pretty girl，quite _10_ of the situation，spoke out first，“Hi，let me _11_ myself. I’m Nancy，used to be _12_.Very glad to meet you.” She behaved very _13_.
But I was at a loss to search in my memory for someone called Nancy among my neighbors. I was worrying how to explain this to my girlfriend _14_ the pretty girl again turned to me，“Will you give me your cellphone number so that we can keep contact(联系) later？” I had to submit to her _15_.
Then the girl got off the bus at the next stop. A minute later I got a short _16_ on my phone from a stranger. My girlfriend _17_ my phone and read the note. It was from the girl，who said，“Just now，two thieves tried to pick your pocket. I had to act as an acquaintance to draw your attention. I should have left at the _18_ stop but gave up as I noticed these two thieves also _19_ to leave at the same stop. Because of the _20_ I delayed my departure. Now you’ll understand all I have done to you. Wish you luck.”

It’s impossible to determine how many people would have lost their lives without the contribution of African-American inventor Dr Charles Drew.
Charles Drew was born on June 3, 1904, in Washington, DC. His early interest was in education, but he was also an outstanding athlete. While in college, he was awarded as the man who contributed the most to sports during his four years in school. Drew’s sister Elsie suffered from tuberculosis(肺结核) and died in 1920. Her death influenced his decision to study medicine.
After becoming a doctor and working as a college instructor, Drew went to Columbia University, where he earned his Doctor of Medical Science degree. During this time he became involved in research on blood and blood transfusions.
At Columbia, he wrote a paper on “banked blood”, in which he described a technique he developed for the long-term preservation of blood plasma. Before his discovery, blood could not be stored for more than two days because of the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. Drew had discovered that by separating the plasma from the whole blood and then refrigerating them separately, they could be combined a week later for a blood transfusion. Drew became the first African American to receive a PhD in medical science.
After World War II broke out, Drew was called upon to put his techniques into practice. He was named a project director for the American Red Cross but soon quit his post after the government issued an order that blood taken from white donors should be separated from that of black donors.
On April 1, 1950, after he attended the annual free clinic at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, he and other three physicians decided to drive back home. As he was tired from spending the night before in the operating room, he lost control of his car. Drew was badly injured and was taken to Alamance General Hospital in Burlington, North Carolina. He was pronounced dead half an hour after he first received medical attention. Drew's funeral was held on April 5, 1950, at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church in Washington, DC.
But contrary to popular thought, he was not refused a blood transfusion by an all-white hospital. He indeed received a transfusion but was beyond the help of the doctors attending to him. As Dr. John Ford, one of the doctors who survived the accident, later explained, “We all received the very best of care. The fact that he was a Black did not in any way limit the care that was given to him.” Over the years, Drew has been considered one of the most honored figures in the medical field.
【小题1】According to the passage, ________ might have contributed to the invention of blood banks.
