Dr Asim Syed, 32, has performed more than 100 operations at London’s Hammersmith Hospital in the country’s busiest transplant unit, but never imagined that he would one day become a donor himself.
He stepped forward when was told his 64-year-old mother might be dead within months unless she got a new kidney (腎). The worried surgeon brought her to London to be cared for at his hospital. However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process. He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high. Dr Syed and his mother were then advised to consider a new way of donating and receiving, called an organ-paired. That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother. The chain of three transplants took place at the same time on July 31 with Dr Syed’s kidney going to a recipient in the Midlands and Mrs. Syed receiving her kidney from a person in the south of England.
Just hours after donating his own kidney, Dr Syed found himself recovering in bed next to his mother. Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.”
Now mother and son are recovering well with Dr Syed already back at work. Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress.
He said, “I did what anyone would do when they see a relative suffering disease. Although I wasn’t able to help mum directly, by agreeing to be part of a chain, I was also very happy.”
【小題1】 Why isn’t it a plain sailing?

A.No one can treat his mother well.
B.Dr Syed was the wrong blood group.
C.They didn’t have money to be in hospital.
D.Mrs. Syed was unwilling to receive the operation.
【小題2】Why didn’t his colleagues agree to the method of blood-washing?

【小題4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.The hospital still needs improving.
B.Dr Syed has love and devotion to his parents.
C.The expense in the hospital is too high to afford.
D.Dr Syed donated his kidney to his mother directly.

【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】A
【小題4】B

解析1,文中第二段However, it was not all plain sailing. Tests showed Dr Syed was the wrong blood group, so the only way was to go through a special blood-washing process.可知手術(shù)不順利的原因是Dr Syed was the wrong blood group,A,選項是無稽之談,C,D在文中都沒有體現(xiàn)。故答案選B。
2,第二段中的He consulted colleagues about that, but they didn’t agree, because the risk of rejection is still too high.可知,Dr Syed咨詢他的同事,關(guān)于the method of blood-washing,他的同事認(rèn)為他母親對他的腎臟異化反應(yīng)的風(fēng)險非常高,所以認(rèn)為是危險的,B,D在文中都沒有顯示,C, Dr Syed的同事有辦法為他母親治療,但是風(fēng)險太高。故答案選A。
3,第三段中Mrs Syed said, “When I came round from my operation Asim was in the next bed and the first thing he said was, ‘Mum now all your worries are over.’ Tears fell down.”
Mrs Syed眼淚都留下來了,被她兒子的言行所感動,對應(yīng)選項A.第四段中Mrs. Syed is staying with him for several months while the hospital monitors her progress.可知B,C,D選項是錯誤的。
4,通過手術(shù)順利的治好了Mrs Syed的病癥,所以A是錯誤的。文中沒有出現(xiàn)關(guān)于醫(yī)療費用的描述,故答案C是錯誤的。That is, Dr Syed donated his kidney to an unknown person and another donor in the chain was a successful match for his mother.可知Dr Syed沒有直接把他的腎臟捐給他的母親。答案D是錯誤的。全文描述了一個作為醫(yī)生的兒子通過將自己的腎臟捐給第三者,第三者再將腎臟捐給醫(yī)生母親,以便治療好他的母親疾病的感人故事,故答案是B。

American society is not nap (午睡)friendly . In fact , says David Dings , sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine , “There’s even a prohibition (禁止) against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work . To quote a proverb : “Some sleep five hours , nature requires seven , laziness nine and wickedness(淘氣的) eleven.”
The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them . “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping ,” says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University , the godfather of sleep research .
Last year a national commission led by Dement identified(發(fā)現(xiàn)) an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt . The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness : people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving . This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House . According to recent reports , President Clinton is trying to take a half---hour snooze (瞌睡) every afternoon .
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity . We seem to have “a mid afternoon quiet phase ,” also called “a secondary sleep gate .” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed . Clearly , we were born to nap .
We superstars of snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut--eye or to prepare for a night shift . Rather , we “snack” on sleep ,whenever , wherever and at whatever time we feel like it . I myself have napped in buses , cars , planes and on boats ; on floors and beds ;and in libraries ,  offices and museums .
【小題1】The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans     .

A.don’t like to take naps
B.a(chǎn)re terribly worried about their national debt
C.think that lack of enough sleep causes many accidents
D.have caused many industrial and traffic accidents
【小題2】The purpose of this article is to     .
  1. warn us of the wickedness of napping 
B. explain the danger of sleepiness
C. discuss the side effects of napping
D. convince the reader of the necessity of napping
【小題3】The “American sleep debt”(Line 1 , Para .3) is the result of      .
  1. the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
  2. the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration
  3. the rapid development of American industry
  4. the Americans’ worry about the danger of sleepiness
【小題4】The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is      .
  1. preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift
  2. good practice to eat something light before we go to bed
  3. essential (基本的) to make up for lost sleep
  4. natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it

When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline. I listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases—“good times”—in my daily conversations. Scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry.
You’ve probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits. You might even start to develop your friend’s habits without realizing it. There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body gesture to accents to drink patterns(模式). For example, one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their same-sex drinking partners, than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces.
And the effect isn’t limited to real-life face-to-face activities. Another study found that the same you-drink-then-I-drink pattern held even when watching a movie! In other words, people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink. At least I don’t feel so strange anymore, having picked up on Adam Carolla’s “good times”.
New research published today in the journal PLOS ONE indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible for social eating, at least among university-age women of normal weight. That’s right: the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same-sex dining companion.
As with most experiments, these results raise a whole new set of questions. However, the finding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly explain eating behavior is important, and has real effects on health. The researchers note that “as long as people don’t fully recognize such important influences on intake (eating), it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet, especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”.
【小題1】The author takes his own example of using “good times” to_______.

A.express his love for radio shows
B.prove the popularity of the show
C.show the influence of the hosts’ words
D.introduce the topic of the passage
【小題2】Which of the following is NOT an example of behavioral mimicry?
A.A boy eats his popcorn after watching the actor eat.
B.A boy buys a Nike shirt when he finds his desk-mate has one.
C.A girl unconsciously sits straight just as others do.
D.A girl takes on the Yorkshire accent after a month’s stay.
【小題3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.
A.behavioral mimicry is beneficial to our health
B.behavioral mimicry decides our eating behavior
C.people have realized the effect of behavioral mimicry on our health
D.It’s impossible to keep a healthy diet without knowing behavioral mimicry
【小題4】What is probably the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To draw readers’ attention to popular radio shows.
B.To introduce behavioral mimicry and its influence.
C.To appeal to readers not to fall into others’ habits.
D.To advocate healthy food choices among readers.
