14、Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting, and one of the things they were shown was how an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy and take his weapon away from him.

It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. How
34、ever, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you. There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a person“s blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood
35、. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents. Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group, hence it is often
36、called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In thi
37、s way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion. There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different per
38、centages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.（分数：12.00）(1).A good title for this passage is _.（分数：3.00）A.Getting Blood and PlasmaB.Special Blood and ColorsC.Human Blood TypesD.The Blood Bank of a Hospital(2).The word “hence“ in line 10 means _.（分数：3.00）A.alwaysB.

40、irque du Soleil (say it: Serk du So-lay) is being accused of out-dated thinking about the dangers of AIDS. It is a modem acrobatic circus from Canada that tours in the United States and other countries. Last April, the company fired Matthew Cusick because he was HIV positive. This was after he spent
