While getting together with some close friends, Morgan told them about this. After knowing that he was a match, Perry offered to give his kidney to Morgan. In an email before the surgery (手术), Perry said, “ I have been friends with Morgan since college and seen him go through some hard times.” Perry did not tell many people about the surgery, just his family. “I think a lot of people need to see this as an example,” his sister-in-law Sue Volikas said, “It’s important for students to know that they could be called upon at any time and be open and willing.” However, Perry never acted as if the transplant (移植) was out of the ordinary. “Perry was very calm and relaxed all the time,” Morgan said. Still, to Perry, the decision just made sense. He said, “I know it is a big surgery, and there are some risks, but if I can help a friend live a healthy life, it is worth it.” Morgan said that his kidney was working great after the surgery. Perry and Morgan influenced(影响) not only each other’s lives through this act but also their families and friends. “It’s so great that he did this and that he doesn’t think anything of it. I don’t even know what I would do in that situation,” Perry’s elder sister said. “It makes everyone stop and wonder, ‘Would I do that?’” 61. This passage is mainly about ________. A. how a man influenced his family and friends B. how a man had surgery successfully C. a kidney transplant between two strangers D. true friendship and selfless love 62. If we say something is out of the ordinary, we mean it is ________. A. terrible B. special C. useful D. hard 63. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. Morgan and Perry are both in college now B. Morgan never expected he would have his kidney transplanted C. Perry didn’t tell anybody except his family about the surgery D. Perry was sure that the surgery would succeed 64. Which of the following old sayings can sum up (概括) Perry’s deed? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed. B. Every coin has two sides. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. The early bird gets the worm. B Dear Ann Landers, You may have made plenty of trouble for me and I want you to know it. It’s hard enough to be a step-mother. Now I’ve got double trouble because Ann Landers says, “A high school student should be able to date (和异性约会) if she is dependable (可靠的) and has a sense of responsibility (责任).” My step-daughter is in high school. She is only 14 but has the body of an 18-year-old. The problem is that she has a mind of a 10-year-old. We've told her no dating in cars until she is 16. All around here became worse, and worse when your column(专栏)appeared. Thanks for nothing Reader From The Old School. Dear O. S., Go back and read my advice again. Then read it to your step-daughter. I said a high school girl who has a quality (品质) of being honest should be allowed to date. According to your letter, that child hasn’t. You are right, Mother. Don’t let her beat you down.
