　　When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog．Her body was numb(麻木的)．She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours．

　　Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions．Now, at age 34, her goal(目标)was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast．

　　On that Fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support(援助)boats．

　　Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement．They told her it wasn’t much farther．But all she could see was fog．They encouraged her not to stop swimming．She never had…until then．With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out．

　　Still warming her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter,“Look, I am not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it．”It was not tiredness or even the cold water that beat her．It was the fog．She was unable to see her goal．

　　Two months later, she tried again．This time, despite(尽管)the same dense fog, she swam with her confidence and her goal clearly pictured in her mind．She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing(使黯然失色)the men’s record by two hours!

There have been many important developments in medicine．The following are two developments that have been very important in saving lives．

Imagine having an operation and being wide awake．This won’t happen，thanks to something called anesthetic．Anesthetics are given to people during operations so that they fall asleep．Anesthetics cause the muscles to relax and the body to become numb（lose all feeling）so that no pain is felt．This helps the doctors to operate more easily．Anesthetics may be taken in different ways：

●Breathing in a gas

●An injection straight into the bloodstream

●Swallowing a tablet

A local anesthetic numbs only the area where the doctor needs to work．A general anesthetic is when a Patient is put into sleep while the doctor operates Anesthetics were first given in 1844．

Heart disease is one of the biggest killers in the world today Luckily，something can be done about it．Someone who has an unhealthy heart can have a heart transport operation．A heart transplant is when the damaged heart of a patient is taken out and a healthy heart is put in．It is said，though，that the healthy heart has to come from someone who has died Doctor Barard from South Africa was the first person to do a heart transplant operation in 1967．Many successful transplants have been done since then．

It is wonderful what doctors are able to do for us．

（    ）1．With the help of______，patients aren’t able to feel painful during the operations．

A．injections             B．pills                     C．gas                        D．anesthetics

（    ）2．Anesthetics have been used for about______．

A．200                     B．184                     C．165                       D．41

（    ）3．Which does a doctor use to do a heart transplant operation to save lives，a damaged heart or a healthy heart?

A．A damaged heart     B．A healthy heart    C．Both                      D．Neither
