Jim fund himself exhausted during a trip. When he came hme, he went t see a dctr. “The reasn why I was fatigued (精疲力竭),” Jim says, “was that my kidneys were gne.”
Jim, 69, a frmer Air Frce pilt, immediately started dialysis (透析) three times a week. A persn f his age n dialysis usually lives nly abut fur years. Transplants are a lng-sht alternative. The Natinal Kidney Fundatin estimates that 13 peple die every day while waiting fr a dnr with the right bld and tissue types.
Jim’s wife, nephew and fur family friends ffered but weren’t a match. Jim was s discuraged that he was even cnsidering nt attending a reunin f sme Air Frce buddies (铁哥们). But his wife encuraged him t reunite with his ld friends, amng whm was ne he hadn’t seen fr nearly 50 years: Dug Cffman. The tw had met. When they bth were learning Vietnamese befre they went verseas.
Dug, then 70, felt a strng bnd with his band f brthers, even thugh he hadn’t seen sme f them fr decades. Their cnnectin went beynd the battlefield in ways mst, sldiers never experience.
Dug had received help frm his friends when he was in truble, s he felt like it was a time that he culd pay that ahead by dnating a kidney t Jim. Frtunately, series f testing revealed nt nly that Dug’s tissue type matched Jim’s but als that he had the kidneys f a 35-year-ld.
The transplant was a success. “It’s pretty miraculus t be able t take an rgan ut f ne persn’s bdy—a living rgan—put it in anther persn’s bdy, and have it wrk.” Dug says. “And there’s nthing finer than knwing I’ve helped anther persn live a better life.”

In the winter f 1664-65, a bitter cld fell n Lndn in the days befre Christmas. Abve the city, an unusually bright cmet (彗星) sht acrss the sky, exciting much predictin f a snw strm. Outside the city wall, a wman was annunced dead f a disease that was spreading in that area. Her huse was lcked up and the phrase “Lrd Have Mercy On Us” was painted n the dr in red.
By the fllwing Christmas, the virus that had killed the wman wuld g n t kill nearly 100,000 peple living in and arund Lndn — almst a third f thse wh did nt flee.
In The Great Plague (瘟疫), histrian A. Llyd Mte and micrbilgist Drthy C. Mte prvide a deeply infrmed accunt f this plague year. Reading the bk, readers are taken frm the palaces f the city’s wealthiest citizens t the pr areas where the vast majrity f Lndners were living, and t the surrunding cuntryside with thse wh fled. The Mtes pint ut that, even at the height f the plague, the city did nt fall int chas. Dctrs, nurses and the church staff remained in the city t care fr the sick; city fficials tried their best t fight the crisis with all the legal tls; and cmmerce cntinued even as businesses shut dwn.
T describe life and death in and arund Lndn, the authrs fcus n the experiences f nine individuals. Thrugh their letters and diaries, the Mtes ffer fresh descriptins f key issues in the histry f the Great Plague: hw different cmmunities understd and experienced the disease; hw medical, religius, and gvernment bdies reacted; hw well the scial rder held tgether; the ecnmic and mral dilemmas peple faced when debating whether t flee the city; and the nature f the material, scial, and spiritual resurces supprting thse wh remained.

Rivers are the veins f the Earth, transprting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed t supprt the planet’s ecsystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential t the survival f life, there is ne element transprted by water in rivers that hlds the key t life and t the future f ur planet — carbn.
Carbn is everywhere and understanding the way it mves and is either released r stred by the Earth system is a cmplex science in itself. Carbn starts its jurney dwnstream when natural acid rain, which cntains carbn dixide frm the atmsphere, melts minerals in rcks. This helps transfrm carbn dixide t bicarbnate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flws in ur rivers. This is a very lng prcess, which is ne f the main ways carbn dixide is remved frm the atmsphere. Carbn is transprted by rivers t ceans and nce that carbn reaches the cean, it is stred naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) fr millins f years.
As carbn travels dwn a river, different prcesses may impact whether it cntinues t flw dwnstream r whether it is released int the atmsphere. Fr example, human engineering, like extensive dam cnstructin, will result in dramatic changes t hw water and sediments travel dwn the river. Sme carbn that fails t reach the sea may return t the atmsphere in sme way, which causes mre warming.
Earth’s climate is clsely related t the carbn cycle. We all knw abut the essential rle f plants in cnsuming carbn dixide, but d we knw enugh abut rivers? Changing the chemistry and the curse f rivers may have significant impacts n hw they transprt carbn. Remember: wherever we live, we all live dwnstream.
12. Where is the carbn in rivers riginally frm?
A. The atmsphere. B. The rcks.
C. The acid rain. D. The upstream areas.
13.Why is human engineering mentined in Paragraph 3?
A.T shw hw imprtant t life carbn is.
B.T explain hw necessary it is t build dams.
C.T shw hw a natural prcess is interrupted.
D.T explain hw humans fight glbal warming.
14.What des the authr want t cnvey in the last paragraph?
A.We’d better mve upstream t live.
B.We shuld prtect plants alng rivers.
C.We’d better seek mre help frm plants.
D.We shuld be cautius abut river management.
15.What is the best title fr the text?
A.What Humans D with Rivers
B.Hw Rivers’ Transprting Carbn Cunts
C.What the Carbn Cycle Means t Us
D.Hw Living Dwnstream Affects the Earth

Fr migrating birds, finding their way ver lng distances thrugh the darkest nights is their
secnd nature. 17 — directins written by light and magnetism (磁力). Sme birds jurney thusands f miles in their twice-yearly jurneys. 18, like muntain ranges and rivers, t help decide the directins; but birds may als navigate using the stars, and by sensing — r even “seeing” — the Earth’s invisible magnetic field.

B. S birds are brn knwing which way hme is
C. They d it in part by reading directins in the sky
D. Magnetism is imprtant fr all animals, especially birds and fishes
E. When they’re n the way, they take the advantage f familiar landmarks

“Wuld yu carry my bag ut t the car?” she said. I tk the suitcase t the cab，then returned t assist the wman. She tk my arm, and we walked slwly tward the cab.
She kept thanking me fr my kindness. “It’s nthing，” I tld her. “I just try t treat my passengers the way I wuld want my mther treated.”
