Most people think about donating blood. However. Very few actuallv do it. Even the most consistent ones donate an average of just three to four times during their lifetime. Now the officials in Sweden are trying to change the trend with the help of modern-day technology.

The encouragement to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/she receives a "thank you" text. Though that certainly helps them feel appreciated, what is even more pleasing is the text they receive each time their blood is used to help someone in need.

Karolina Wiberg, manager of the Stockholm blood service, believes this small gesture not only results in repeat donors, but helps bring in new ones. The program that was started in Stockholm has received such positive feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country.

However, Swedish officials are not stopping there. They are also encouraging local clinics to publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on their websites. This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference in saving someone ' s life.

While all these outreach programs are great, busy citizens, even the ones with the best intentions have to be occasionally reminded. In order to jog their memories, officials ask people for authorization to send them text, Facebook, and e-mail reminders. Though that may sound disturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind, given that the messages are light-hearted and fun-things like "We won't give up until you bleed."

Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology to urge more donations, don't be surprised if more join in, especially if the Nordic (北欧) country's blood banks start to overflow!

1.Why is another text sent to blood donors after a "thank you" one?

A. To ask them for authorization.

B. To inform them their blood is used.

C. To remind them to donate blood immediately. '

D. To tell them the levels of blood groups.

2.What does "the program" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A, Publishing information about blood donation.

B. Giving Facebook reminders to citizens.

C. Sending text messages to blood donors.

D. Providing people with blood service.

3.What do people think of blood donation reminders?

A. Disturbing. B. Memorable.

C. Authentic. D. Acceptable.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Sweden will stop urging blood donation.

B. Sweden has benefited little from its program.

C. More countries may follow Sweden's example.

D. Nordic blood banks are in great need of blood.

Being responsible is actually not that difficult. I used to think it is hard to grow up into a responsible member of our society. An incident happening in a rainy Sunday afternoon changed my attitude. I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light while a girl was knocked down by passing car, which drove off quickly. A man immediately gave his first aid and I had joined in without hesitation. Soon many help was given to the girl.

Banks view online banking as a powerful “value-added” tool to attract and keep new customers while helping to eliminate costly paper handling or teller(出纳员)interactions in an increasingly competitive banking environment.

Today, most large national banks, many local banks and credit unions offer some form of online banking, variously known as PC banking, home banking, electronic banking or Internet banking. Online banks are sometimes referred to as “brick-to-click” banks, both to tell them from “brick-to-mortar” banks that haven’t yet offered online banking, as well as from “virtual”(虚拟)banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever.

The challenge for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe , fully functional(功能的)online banking for free or for a small cost. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking will likely become as commonplace as automated teller machines (ATM).

Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; they’re at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they’re a mouse click away. If you’re out of state or even out of the country when a money problem appears, you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally carry out and confirm deals at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively.

1.The underlined word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”.

A. keep B. remove C. raise D. improve

2.What is the challenge for the online banking industry according to the text?

A. To make online banking attractive.

B. To open new services all over the world.

C. To offer online banking for free.

D. To take care of business 24 hours a day.

3.From the text we can conclude that _______.

A. “brick-to-click” banks are in fact another kind of physical banks

B. the function of a “brick-to-click” bank is as common as that of an ATM

C. a “brick-to-mortar” bank is no better than a virtual one

D. customers can deal with their banking by a mouse click

4.What would be the best title for this text?

A. Banking of Various Forms

B. Improvement of Banking Industry

C. Development of Online Banking

D. Functions of the “Brick-to-Click” Bank

Disneyland calls itself the happiest place in the world. In order to keep visitors happy in its locations across the globe, every theme park in the world is changed slightly to satisfy local cultures and tastes.

Opened in 1983 and larger than the original California Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland is the third most visited of any theme park in the world after the two Disney parks in the US. Like Walt Disney World in Florida, Cinderella’s Castle is located at the centre of the park.

But like karaoke, which originated in Japan and is a country-wide obsession (痴迷), Disneyland gives the often-reserved (矜持) Japanese people a place to show their noisy side. In Tokyo Disneyland, even adult visitors will sing, clap and dance along to the internationally themed live shows, which is a rare sight in the US.

After excitedly entering Disneyland Paris, which opened in 1992, visitors can see an arcade that features a small copy of the Statue of Liberty – a gift from France to American in 1886, making it a perfect introduction to this Europe’s only Disneyland theme park.

Unfortunately, the French stereotype of a smoking wine drinker is supported in Disneyland Paris. Many visitors complain (抱怨) that although the theme park is equipped with special smoking areas, most smokers seem to puff away (吹气) in all the open areas, including in queues for rides. Besides this, it is also the only Disneyland in the world where you can enjoy an alcoholic drink with your meal; a French meal without a glass of wine would make for the unhappiest place in the world.

1.What can we learn from the second and the third paragraph?

A. Tokyo Disneyland is the third largest theme park in the world.

B. Tokyo Disneyland is meant only for adult people.

C. There is no Cinderella’s Castle in Tokyo Disneyland.

D. Tokyo Disneyland is more visited than Disneyland Paris.

2.What are most visitors unhappy about when in Disneyland Paris?

A. No live shows there.

B. No smoking areas in the park.

C. Much smoking smell in the air.

D. Having to line up for a long time.

3.What can we infer from the underlined sentence?

A. Drinking alcohol is not allowed in other Disneyland in the world except Disneyland Paris.

B. If you want to be happy, go to Disneyland Paris and enjoy a glass of wine there.

C. The alcoholic drink is forbidden in Disneyland Paris.

D. Disneyland Paris is the unhappiest place in the world.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. The reason for building Disneyland across the globe

B. The introduction to Disneyland theme parks in Japan and the US

C. The difference between Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland

D. The simple analysis of Disneyland’s popularity in some parts of the world
