people would have lost their lives without the contribution of african-american inventor dr charles drew. charles drew was born on june 3, 1904, in washington, dc. his early interest was in education, but he was also an outstanding athlete. while in college, he was awarded as the man who contributed the most to sports during his four years in school. drews sister elsie suffered from tuberculosis(肺结核) and died in 1920. her death influenced his decision to study medicine.after becoming a doctor and working as a college instructor, drew went to columbia university, where he earned his doctor of medical science degree. during this time he became involved in research on blood and blood transfusions (输血). at columbia, he wrote a paper on “banked blood”, in which he described a technique he developed for the long-term preservation of blood plasma (血浆). before his discovery, blood could not be stored for more than two days because of the rapid breakdown of red blood cells. drew had discovered that by separating the plasma from the whole blood and then refrigerating (冷冻) them separately, they could be combined a week later for a blood transfusion. drew became the first african american to receive a phd in medical science. after world war ii broke out, drew was called upon to put his techniques into practice. he was named a project director for the american red cross but soon quit his post after the government issued an order that blood taken from white donors (献血者) should be separated from that of black donors. on april 1, 1950, after he attended the annual free clinic at the john a. andrew memorial hospital, he and other three physicians decided to drive back home. as he was tired from spending the night before in the operating room, he lost control of his car. drew was badly injured and was taken to alamance general hospital in burlington, north carolina. he was pronounced dead half an hour after he first received medical attention. drews funeral was held on april 5, 1950, at the nineteenth street baptist church in washington, dc.but contrary to popular thought, he was not refused a blood transfusion by an all-white hospital. he indeed received a transfusion but was beyond the help of the doctors attending to him. as dr. john ford, one of the doctors who survived the accident, later explained, “we all received the very best of care. the fact that he was a black did not in any way limit the care that was given to him.” over the years, drew has been considered one of the most honored figures in the medical field.41. according to the

gained by some amount of influence, whether it is from commercials, fashion, trends, celebrities or music. teens and preteen children are influenced by these various factors. however, a childs friends are the no. 1 influence. before you think your childrens friends could never lead one another astray (误入歧途的), think again. a child may experience an event that has caused overwhelming stress or may have problems at home or school, which causes negative behavior. negative influences of a childs friends can come without warning. “parents who ask their children where they are going, who they are going with and request a meeting with their childrens friends and the friends parents have already taken the first step,” says mara berkley, family therapist and professor at bristol university in rhode island. lynn rexroat of chillicothe, illinois, uses this method to keep tabs on her children. “my oldest son knows that in order for him to go anywhere with a friend, especially one i havent met before, i have to speak with that friends parent to make sure the arrangements are agreeable with us both,” she says. “i dont interrogate (质问) them by asking about their private life. i just want to know that the parents of the other child know what the boys are planning to do. i feel that by my wanting to know i am protecting my son.” when a parent suspects that their child is hanging out with “the wrong crowd”, the last thing on their mind should be discipline. instead, berkley says a parent should be more interested in finding out the reasons behind the behaviors and the childs choice to keep company with these types of friends.51.we can infer from the second paragraph that .a. two children usually go astray together b. a child can be negatively influenced only when he meets problems c. a child can easily go astray under the influence of a friend d. parents know exactly when a child is negatively influenced 52.mara berkley probably agrees that you when your child is going out with his friends.a. should track him secretly b. should not ask himc. can stop him going outd. do something to interfere53.how does lynn rexroat protect her son according to the text?a. she questions his son directly. b. she meets his sons friends herself. c. she makes arrangements with the parents of his sons friends.d. she communicates with the parents of his sons friends.54.the underlined part “keep tabs on” in the fourth paragraph probably means “ ”.a. watch overb. win overc. bring back d. take control ofdabout this time every year, i get very nostalgic (怀旧的). walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. i was one of those children, carefree and happy. i live on a street that is only one block long. i have lived on the same street for sixteen years. i love my street. one side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. when i think of home, i think of my street. only i see it as it was before. unfortunately things change. one day, not long ago, i looked around and saw how different everything has become. life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors. it is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and wont be around much longer. i have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow（寡妇）next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. in contrast to those people, the people i see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. the man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. the lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. it is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at one time i thought they would live forever. the “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. the boundary of our world was the gutter(排水沟) at the end of the street. we got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. children who rode tricycles now drive cars. the kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days. perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for new homes. for sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. the hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. we spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. the view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. when the hill goes, the neighborhood
