It was necessary for me to have dialysis(透析). After a couple of years my husband and I were trained to do the dialysis and were able to do it every other night at home.I was put on a waiting list for a kidney transplant. A few years later I received a kidney from a young girl who had died in a traffic accident. I was given a new kidney but my body started to fight against it before I left the hospital. I went back on dialysis. The next year my daughter gave me a kidney. I kept her generous gift for six years but had to stop taking the anti-rejection (抗排斥) drugs when I developed lymphoma(淋巴瘤), which was caused by the drugs. Because I had to stop the drugs I lost the kidney again. So I continued with the dialysis. I went back to university and got a degree in computer science. I was hired by the government of San Diego. That was 13 years ago, and I was still on dialysis at home. I refuse to let this kidney failure hold me back. By taking responsibility for my own health, and with the true help of my husband and family, I have been able to make a good life for my family and avoid taking disability payments. I have been promoted several times and now I am a main official at my workplace. I also try my best to make people forget my bad health. I have been cancer-free for 6 years. I now have 3 grown-up children, 4 grandchildren and 5 rescued dogs. I am enjoying life to the fullest. 51.

What can we learn from this passage?A. One can succeed if he or she has a strong will. B. We should care for one another in a big family. C. If one receives treatment, sooner or later he will be better. D. The author is worried about her lymphoma and kidney failure.BAt the age of fifty, Theodore Roosevelt, a truly great president, made this comment: Now I am fifty years old, and if I stopped learning, and stopped trying to better myself, I feel that my usefulness to the community would be pretty nearly at an end Those who have studied the life of Theodore Roosevelt know that he never did stop learning. He was eager to learn all his life. Many people have the mistaken idea that age is a handicap (障碍) when it comes to learning that you gradually lose your ability to learn as you grow older. Surveys show that the ability to learn does not diminish greatly after 20, said Dr. C. Ellis Nelson, a well-known professor in Texas. These tests show, said Dr. Nelson, that in terms of reading and vocabulary there is no significant difference between being 20 or being 60. People aged 20 may show greater facility （设施；设备） for mathematics, but this is due almost entirely to the fact that 20-year-olds use math all the time, while 60-year-olds dont. As you grow older, or if you have already reached or passed middle age, dont fool yourself with the idea that the ability to learn diminishes with age. It just isnt true! You can learn and grow intellectually (智力地) as long as you want to progress and you can continue to do so as long as you are alive. That is one of the truly exciting facts of life. Cato, a wise man of ancient Rome, was forever seeking new intellectual worlds to conquer, and at about 80 he started to study Greek. When a doubter asked him why he was beginning such a difficult task at such an advanced age, Cato replied calmly and firmly: It is the youngest age I have left. I enjoy it. and went on with his studies. In the end, he reached his goal. Age, said E. L. Thorndike, a famous psychologist, is not a handicap to learning. You never grow too old to learn.54. Theodore Roosevelt didnt stop learning at fifty because_. A he felt he was usefulB. he was encouraged by his great commentC. he believed he was never too old to learn D. he wanted to show his value to the community 55. 20-year -old people show greater facility for mathematics than 60-year-old people because _. A. they are better educated than the latterB. they like maths more than the latterC. they use maths more often than the latter D. theyre required to learn more maths skills than the latter56. The underlined word diminish in the second paragraph probably means_. A. become smaller or weaker B. grow little by littleC. increase D. disappear CFirst aid should be a compulsory(必修的) part of study, St. John Ambulance has urged ministers. The charity carried out a survey of more than 1,500 school children, of whom seven out of ten said they would not know how to help in an emergency. First aid is a compulsory subject for Welsh and Northern Irish pupils, but in English and Scottish schools it is an optional (可选择的) part of the curriculum. The government said that it intended to bring England into line by 2011. An estimated 400,000 young people are injured each year at school, according to the first aid charity. Its survey suggested that almost the same proportion (比例) of primary and secondary school children who said they would not know how to help someone in need of first aid would like to learn. The British Red Cross also argues that all schools should teach first aid, because the UK falls behind the rest of Europe when it comes to life-saving skills. According to the charity, some 80% of people in Scandinavian countries and Germany have first aid skills, compared with 7% in the UK. The British Red Cross also estimates that of the 5.5 million people who visit Emergency Departments for Accidents each year, about 3 million suffer from injuries that would benefit from some form of first aid treatment. Elaine Howlings, who co-ordinates school training for St. John Ambulance, said the overwhelming (压倒性的；势不可挡的) message from the survey was that the children surveyed were scared by the fact that they would not know what to do in an emergency. She said: They wanted to be able to help helping their friends when they fell off walls or helping people that had been involved in car accidents.57. According to the survey, _. A. England will make first aid compulsory in school in 2011B. all the students without first aid skills would like to learn themC. about 1,000 children surveyed dont know how to do first aidD. more secondary school students want to learn first aid than the primary school ones58. Why does the British Red Cross think that all schools should teach first aid?A. First aid can save lives in a lot of situations.B. People are eager to le
