     About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel. I didn't want to carry too much money with me, so I
asked the desk clerk to put a hundred- dollar bill in the safe for me.
     The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money. I didn't have any proof (证
据) that I had given the man the money. There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.
     The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk.
This I did. An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money. Because I had the lawyer as an
eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.
     Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer's plan into action. This time both the lawyer and I
went to the hotel. I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already
given it to me, I denied (否认) it. The lawyer said to him, "I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars.
If you don't return it immediately, I'll be forced to call the police."
    The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.
     "I don't know how to thank you enough for getting my money back," I said to the lawyer. And what you
suppose he answered? He said, "Oh, don't thank me. That will be a hundred dollars, please."

　　Do you know blood types?

　　Special care must be taken in selecting new blood for a badly injured person, who would be killed by the transfusion if the blood is too different from his own.

　　There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. Blood type, like hair and height, comes from parents. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A or B cannot receive AB, but AB, sometimes called the universal recipient, may receive A or B O type, often called the universal donor, gives his blood to any other group. Patients usually receive nothing but salt or plasma(血浆) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans, about 42 percent have type A while 45 per cent have type O. The fewest, is the type AB.

1．Which of the following shows the correct relationship in blood transfusion?

　　We’ve all seen them：perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles(腹肌)．It’s easy! Just pay ＄149.99 for the Torso Track or ＄149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist．Americans spend tens of millions of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist．And did they work? Not necessarily．Independent studies have concluded that most of these products－no matter who approved them or how expensive they are－shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐)．Some can even cause injury－like the ＄518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse．Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise．

　　The fact is that many Americans don’t have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles．They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can’t lose enough fat to make a difference．Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of an inch of fat．That’s enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day．

　　So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer．A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets．” Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements．He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises．They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer．

　　Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles．They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time．Among the winners：the bicycle movements－so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor－and exercises performed on the “Captain’s Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest．Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results．

(1)

The author convinces the readers by ________．
[　　]
A．	describing successful cases
B．	offering professional suggestions

D．	comparing advertisements of products

(4)
