26、Scientists may have found a way to reduce shortage of type O blood. Type O is the kind of blood that hospitals most often need. What the researchers are testing is an easier way to make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.

There are four main kinds of blood. Most people are born with one of these four: Type A, Type B, Type AB or Type O. Type O can be safely given to anyone. So it is commonly used when a person is injured or sick and has to have blood.

Type O is the most common blood group. But the supplies of it available in hospitals and blood banks are usually limited. This is because of the high demand for it. Type O blood is used in emergencies when there is no time to identify the patient’s blood type.

Giving A, B or AB to someone with a different blood type, including O, can cause a bad reaction by the person’s defense system. Their immune system can reject the blood. This immune reaction can be deadly.

The differences among blood types are linked to whether or not red blood cells contain certain kinds of sugar molecules (分子). These molecules are found on the surface of the cells. They are known as antigens (抗原), these antigens are found with Type A, B and AB blood but not with Type O.

More than twenty-five years ago, scientists found that the antigens could be removed to create what they called universal-type cells. They could be removed with chemicals called enzymes (酶). But large amounts of enzymes were required to make the change.

Doctor Henrik Clausen of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark led the study. The next step, he says, is to complete safety tests. The team is working with the American company ZymeQuest to test the new method. If it meets safety requirements and is not too costly, it will become a widely used life-saving tool to increase the supply of universal blood.

【1】How do scientists deal with the problem of lacking type O blood?

A．Make type O blood out of other kinds of blood.

B．Make the most of the present type O blood.

C．Develop new ways of using type O blood.

D．Appeal to more people to donate type O blood.

【2】What make people have different kinds of blood?

A．Sugar molecules in red blood cells.

B．Peopled different living conditions.

C．The variety of people’s cells and genes.

D．People’s various immune systems.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A．Antigens could not be removed to create universal blood.

B．A Danish company wanted to involve itself in studying blood.

C．Type O blood and Type AB blood can be safely given to anyone.

D．The new method is not safe enough to be put into use in hospitals now.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Four Different Kinds of Blood.

B．A New Way to Make Type O Blood.

C．The Latest Research on Blood Type.

D．Find the Proper Type of Blood.

28、After the birth of her second child in 2019, Keet was motivated to make changes by the thought of what kind of world her children were going to have. “I was totally awake in the middle of the night having climate anxiety,” she said. “I just brought this person into the world—what does her future look like? What does my son’s future look like?”

Keet started the seeds of Planetarian Life based on her experiences doing Meatless Monday, but with fewer restrictions and a larger sense of purpose. “There’s vegetarianism(素食主义), but these things don’t describe my why,” she said. “I’m eating this way for the planet.”

That’s the most basic definition of who a planetarian is, according to Keet: someone who is changing the way they eat and live for the good of the Earth.

With Planetarian Life, Keet decided to take a small-steps approach. Instead of cutting out meat entirely or working with unfamiliar ingredients, planetarian eating works around making small replacements in your usual meals on your own schedule and to your own preferred tastes.

This can be as simple as using chickpeas instead of rotisserie chicken to make chickpea “chicken” salad or cooking a big batch of quinoa to keep on hand for quick skillet vegetable bowls throughout the week.

Like compound interest, the minor changes made to familiar meals add up to a bigger lifestyle change over time—and they are easier to stick with than drastic cuts. Because no foods are banned from the planetarian way of eating, it’s up to every individual to take it as far as they want to go.

【1】Why did Keet want to make changes in 2019?

A．She could not sleep well at night.

B．Her children’s future career worried her.

C．Her second child was not healthy enough.

D．She wanted to make the world a better place.

【2】What does being a planetarian mean according to Keet?

A．Removing meat from daily meals.

B．Changing one’s usual meals completely.

C．Taking on a job about protecting the Earth.

D．Adopting an environmental-friendly way of eating.

【3】What is the advantage of Planetarian Life according to the last paragraph?

A．It is healthier.

B．It saves more time.

C．It provides more choices.

D．It helps shape good character.

【4】Which of the following words can best describe Keet?

A．Anxious and selfish.

B．Responsible and considerate.

C．Hardworking and independent.

D．Knowledgeable and quick-thinking.

29、Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids (孩子) to? Try some of these places.

Visit art museums. They offer a variety of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many offer workshops for making land-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings by children's favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts.

Puppet(木偶)making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.

Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike.
