As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been  36  only once-for a woman who had merely fainted. But the   37  made me quite curious about how  38  this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if  39  with a real mid-air medical emergency-without access  40  a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So   41  the New England Journal of Medicine last week   42  a study about in-flight medical events, I   43  it with interest.

The study estimated that there are a(n)  44  of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not   45  ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints.  46  13% of them-roughly four a day-are serious enough to   47  a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies   48  heart trouble, strokes, and  difficult breathing.

Let’s face it: plane rides are   49  . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly   50  they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty   51  , but passengers with heart disease   52  experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood.  53  common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis(血栓)-the so-called economy class syndrome(综合症).  54  happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation(立法), flights with at   55  one attendant are starting to install emergency medical equipments to treat heart attacks.

       Bernice Gallego sat down one day this summer, as she does pretty much every day, and began listing items on eBay. She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card. She stopped for a moment and admired the picture. “Red Stocking B. B. Club of cincinnati,” the card read, under the reddish brown color photo of 10 men with their socks pulled up to their knees.

       As a collector and seller, it's her job to spot old items that might have value today.It's what Bernice, 72, and her husband, Al Gallego, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique (古玩) store.

       This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay.She took a picture, wrote a description and put it up for auction (拍卖).She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents.Later that night she got a few odd inquiries—someone wanting to know whether the card was real, someone wanting her to end the auction and sell him the card immediately.

       The card is actually 139 years old.Sports card collectors call the find "extremely rare" and estimate the card could fetch five, or perhaps, six figures at auction.

       Just like that, Bemice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story."I didn't even know baseball existed that far back," Gallego says, "I don't think that I've ever been to a baseball game." The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back.It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200.

       When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was—an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings.

       "When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," Mirigian says."They've uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine.That card is history.It's like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso."

68.What can we conclude from Paragraph 3?

       A.Bernice had to pay some fees for her card on eBay.

       B.Bernice wanted to end the auction that night.

       C.Bernice decided to sell the card for $15.

       D.eBay charged her 20 cents for the card.

69.The underlined word "fetch" in Paragraph 4 most probably means "____".

       A.go and bring  B.add up to        C.go down to     D.be sold for

70.From the passage, we may learn that ____.

       A.Bernice is a baseball fan

       B.Bernice is the last person to purchase the rare-baseball card

       C.Bernice unexpectedly became the owner of the rare-baseball card

       D.Bernice didn't realize the value of the card until she put it up for auction

71.What would be the best title for the passage?

       A.A Surprisingly Valuable Discovery      B.Bemice Gallego—A Lucky Collector

       C.Sports Card Collectors          D.The History of the Baseball Card
