The Story of Lani
Five-year-old Lani still takes seven medicines with her breakfast every morning. "She&39;s very good about it," says her father David. Lani is alive today because of her father David, in more than one way; when she was one year old she received part of her father&39;s liver in a liver-transplant operation. Lani was born with a liver illness.(46)Doctors advised that a transplant was the only way in which she would live.
The operation lasted 12 hours and needed two teams, one for the father and one for the daughter.(47)In these cases, the donor&39;s liver grows to normal size in about eight weeks, and the child&39;s liver becomes smaller.
Lani spent three weeks in hospital after the operation. Because the receiver&39;s body tries to reject the new organ, the patient has to be given special drugs.(48)
Although David left hospital after 10 days, he didn&39;t return to work until after throe months. In order to reach the liver, the doctors have to cut through the stomach wall, which is strong and full of muscle. It therefore takes a long time to recover after this operation.(49)
So far, only 16 of these liver-transplant operations have been carried out in Britain.(50)Doctors say, "If possible, we prefer to take a liver from a dead donor, usually a parent."
Lani still has to look after her health, and she gets more tired than other children of the same age, but doctors hope that she will continue to get stronger and stronger.

Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says.
Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she lied it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”
第31题:“... Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “________”.
A) America has suddenly become a nation of old people
B) gerontology has suddenly become popular
C) more elderly professors are found on American campuses
D) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students

听力原文: Now, let me first give you a brief introduction to the American poet, Emily Dickinson.

During her lifetime, she published only about 10 of her nearly 2, 000 poems, in newspapers, Civil War journals, and a poetry anthology.

Heather Price, a University of Washington doctoral student in chemistry, found that the amount of light reflected by the particles in the air was more than 550 percent greater than normal for that time of year. The mass of Asian air contained elevated levels of ail pollutants measured. Price said, "but the only thing that came close to being alarming was the level of particulate matter."
The haze that settled across the western part of the country was widely reported by the news media, and it was measured as far inland as the ski slopes of Aspen, Colo.
Readings on the western side of the Pacific came from the Aerosol Characterization Experiments, a project aimed at understanding how particles in the atmosphere affect Earth's climate. Additional measurements were taken in the same region at the same time under a project sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Knowing the pollution was approaching Washington state, Price loaded sensing equipment aboard a rented Beechcraft on April 14 and flew to Neah Bay on the state's Northwest coast. Taking samples at various levels from 15,000 feet to 20, 000 feet in altitude, she monitored quantities of dust, ozone, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. "From my copilot's seat. the dust was thick enough to see with the naked eye." Price said.
Now she is trying to correlate her findings with those of the two research teams operating on the other side of the Pacific, where at one point the pollution plume was larger than Japan. The huge size of the cloud showed up clearly in satellite images that gave Price plenty of warning the haze was on its way. "You can see these two blobs coming out of the deserts of Mongolia and growing over Asia, then getting swept out over the ocean and finally setting over North America," she said. She intends to continue measuring air samples off the Washington coast and will be looking for air masses with evidence of pollution originating somewhere other than Asia. "We'd like to see if we can get a signature of pollution coming from Europe because computer models suggest that European sources also can be transported across the Pacific," she said. "However, we expect that sources in Europe will contribute less than Asian sources."
The haze of pollution mentioned in the first paragraph is a cloud ______.
A.of moisture over Calgary, Canada
B.developing over Pacific Ocean
C.of industrial pollutants
D.of desert dust and hydrocarbons

M: Santa Fe is one of the nicest towns I have been to in the U.S. I had no idea there was so much to see there! And I love the southwestern look. All the buildings are built to resemble the adobe architecture of the Pueblo Indians.
W: Wow, that sounds beautiful! Did you get a chance to meet some of the locals while you were there?
M: Yeah, I went to the Indian market in town to shop for some arts and crafts. While I was there, I met a fascinating old woman from a pueblo just outside the city. She was selling beautiful stone jewelry which she had carved herself. She really was an amazing artist. We talked for over an hour, and she told me all about her life on the reservation.
W: Were there many Indian people in Santa Fe?
M: There are a lot of native American people in New Mexico, especially in Santa Fe. Most of the people at the market were Indian, and they represented several different tribes from all over the state: Pueblo Indians, Zuni, Ute, Apache, and even some Navajo and Hopi from Arizona. I also drove to the Taos Pueblo, which is about an hour north of Santa Fe. Did you know that Taos is one of the oldest towns in America? The Pueblo has been continuously inhabited for almost a thousand years.
W: I had no idea that there were any towns that old in the U.S.
