“The Man with the Golden Arm” may sound like the name of some superhero in a comic book.But this name belongs to 78-year-old James Harrison—an Australian man who has donated blood almost every week, saving more than 2 million babies in the process.
Harrison told CNN, an American channel, about why he chooses to donate, even though it’s not the most pleasurable experience:“Never once have I watched the needle go in my arm.I can’t stand the sight of blood, and I can’t stand pain.”
An amazingly unique antibody (抗体) in Harrison’s blood makes it a true lifesaver for babies who could be affected by rhesus disease.
The condition occurs during some pregnancies, when a woman who has rhesus-negative blood produces antibodies that destroy her babies’ cells.This can happen when the baby has the same rhesus-positive blood as the father.Rhesus disease can cause health issues in babies.It can even result in death.
Harrison’s blood helped physicians develop an injection called Anti-D in the 1960s, which prevents women who have rhesus-negative blood from developing the harmful antibodies while pregnant.After Harrison completes one of his routine donations, his blood can be used to create more vaccines (疫苗).
“I started donating in 1955, two days after I turned 18,” Harrison said when he completed his 1,075th donation.
As CNN reported, every Anti-D vaccine created in Australia has something to do with a donation from Harrison, who holds the record for most blood donations in Australia.
“A number of mothers have come up to me and said, ‘Thank you very much for what you’ve done, because I now have one, two, three healthy children,’” Harrison said.
Harrison’s own daughter, Tracey Mellowship, had been one of the 17 percent of women who need Anti-D during their pregnancy.The injection helped guarantee her second son would be born healthy.
“Dad had always donated—we knew that,” Mellowship said.“But it didn’t hit home until I was pregnant and knew the consequences.”
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。澳大利亚一位老翁的血液中含有罕见的溶血性疾病抗体,他从18岁开始每周献血,至今已坚持了约60年,拯救了两百多万婴儿的性命。
1.From the first two paragraphs we can infer that Harrison is________.
A.humorous and smart B.brave and unselfish
C.friendly but nervous D.optimistic but weak
答案 B [推理判断题。根据第一段中的who has donated blood almost every week, saving more than 2 million babies in the process可知,Harrison坚持每周献血,拯救了两百多万婴儿的性命,由此可以看出,他很无私;根据第二段中的Never once have I watched the needle go in my arm.I can’t stand the sight of blood,and I can’t stand pain可知,Harrison既晕血又怕疼,但他还敢献血,说明他很勇敢。]
2.Babies affected by rhesus disease________.
A.have the same blood type as their mothers
B.develop the disease after being born
C.can’t form blood themselves
D.grow problematic cells
答案 D [细节理解题。根据第四段中的...when a woman who has rhesus-negative blood produces antibodies that destroy her babies’ cells可知,当溶血性疾病发生时,母亲血液中的抗体会进入胎儿体内破坏胎儿的细胞,导致胎儿出生后有些细胞有缺陷。]
3.Harrison’s blood can________.
A.help patients develop Anti-D
B.avoid the risk of rhesus disease
C.cure rhesus disease affected babies
D.stop babies from producing antibodies
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第五段中的Harrison’s blood helped physicians develop an injection called Anti-D in the 1960s, which prevents women who have rhesus-negative blood from developing the harmful antibodies while pregnant可知,基于Harrison血液的注射剂可以防止孕妇产生影响胎儿的抗体,避免溶血性疾病的发生。]
4.Before Mellowship was injected Anti-D, her family didn’t________.
A.understand the meaning of Harrison’s act
B.expect she would have another healthy son
C.realize the high rate of potential rhesus disease
D.know Harrison held a record for donating blood
答案 A [推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,Harrison一家知道他一直在献血,但是直到他的女儿怀孕并需要注射Anti-D时,他的家人才清楚溶血性疾病可能带来的后果,从而理解了他献血的意义。]
B
There are many realistic writers in American history.They made great contributions to the development of the culture of the America and the world.
Mark Twain (1835—1910) was the first major American writer to be born away from the East Coast—in the border state of Missouri.His regional masterpieces were the memoir(回忆录) Life on the Mississippi and the novels Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.Twain’s style—influenced by journalism,were the dialect,direct and simple but also highly humorous—first changed the way Americans write their language.His characters speak like real people and sound differently American,using local dialects,newly invented words,and regional accents.
Other writers interested in regional differences and dialect were George W.Cable,Thomas Nelson Page,Joel Chandler Harris,Mary Noailles Murfree,Sarah Orne Jewett,Mary E.Wilkins Freeman,Henry Cuyler Bunner,and William Sydney Porter (O.Henry).A version of local color regionalism that focused on minority experiences can be seen in the works of Charles W.Chesnutt (African American),of María Ruiz de Burton,one of the earliest Mexican American novelists to write in English,and in the works of Abraham Cahan.William Dean Howells also represented the realist tradition through his novels,including The Rise of Silas Lapham and his work as editor of the Atlantic Monthly.
Henry James (1843—1916) faced the Old World-New World dilemma(困境) by writing directly about it.Although born in New York City,he spent most of his adult years in England.His novels center on Americans who live in or travel to Europe.With its complex,highly abstract sentences and description of emotional and psychological differences,James’s fiction can be hard to understand.Among his more accessible works are the novels Daisy Miller,about a pretty American girl in Europe,and The Turn of the Screw,a mysterious ghost story.
Realism also influenced American drama of the period,in part through the works of Howells but also through the works of such Europeans as Ibsen and Zola.Although realism was most influential in terms of set design and staging,but audiences only loved the special effects offered up by the popular stories.
The most ambitious attempt at bringing modern realism into the drama was James Herne’s Margaret Fleming,which addressed issues of the society through realistic dialogue,psychological insight and symbolism;the play was not a success,as critics and audiences felt it had too much unseemly topics and wrong scenes.
