When immigrants arrived looking forward to the new opportunities and new freedom, they found danger and more hardship in a land devoid of any but the most elementary means of communication.（）
When I arrived in Beijing more than five years ago, I had already given blood 79 times. I wanted to continue to be a donor (献血者). But entering a Red Cross clinic (诊所) in Beijing, I was surprised to be received as a hero. For me, a blood donation was simply a good habit and gift of love to humans.
In Canada, donors can give 450 ml each time, every 51 days. That means six times a year. in China, we can give only 200 ml, every four months.
In 1984, there were only 19 donors in Beijing who offered their blood for free. One year later, there were 141. In 1986, 1 083, and so on until the figure reached 10 046 in 1990, 14 016 in 1992 and more than double that the following year. There were 41 037 in 1994, and my statistics stop here. I’m so glad to see that the Chinese have understood that giving blood is not dangerous, and that it’s a way to say, in a real communist spirit, "Brother, I love you".
In fact, every time I give blood, I think of
A. more than 30 000
B. more than 28 000
C. more than 15 000
D. more than 14 000

He narrowed their photosensitivity(感光灵敏度) down to areas on the nose or in the finger tips. In 1960 a medical board examined a girl in Virginia and found that, even with thick bandages over her eyes, she was able to distinguish different colours and read short sections of large print.
Rosa Kuleshova, a young woman in the Urals, can see with her fingers. She is not blind, but because she grew up in a family of blind people, she learned to read Braille to help them and then went on to teach herself to do other things with her hands.
