According to the American Red Cross, there‟s a 97% chance that someone you know will need a blood transfusion. Blood donors - especially donors with certain blood types - are always in demand. To donate blood, the American Red Cross requires that people be at least 17 years old and weigh more than 110 pounds. (In some states, the age is 16 with a parent‟s permission.) Donors must be in good health and will be screened for certain medical conditions. Donors who meet these requirements can give blood every 56 days. Blood donation starts before you walk in the door of the blood bank. Before donating, you‟ll need to answer some questions about your medical history, and have your temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and blood count checked. The medical history includes questions that help blood bank staff decide if a person is healthy enough to donate blood. Donated blood gets tested for viruses, including HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and West Nile virus. If any of these things are found, the blood is destroyed. Are there any risks? A person can‟t get an infection or disease from giving blood. The needles and other equipment used are sterile and they‟re used only on one person and then thrown away. Sometimes people who donate blood notice a few minor side effects like nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting, but these symptoms usually go away quickly. The donor‟s body usually replaces the liquid part of blood (plasma) within 72 hours after giving blood. It generally takes about 4-8 weeks to regenerate the red blood cells lost during a blood donation. An iron-fortified diet plus daily iron tablets can help rebuild a donor‟s red blood supply. Question 20. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The procedures and safety measures in blood donation. B. The necessity of blood transfusions. C. The medical benefits of receiving a blood transfusion. D. The importance of regular blood donations for public health. Question 21. The word “screened” is closest in meaning to _____. A. showed B. examined C. affected D. trained Question 22. The pronoun “that” refers to _____. A. temperature B. questions C. blood D. medical history Question 23.

A. can give blood whenever they feel healthy B. gets infected from giving blood C. may suffer some side effects D. can be less than 110 pounds in weight Question 24.

In the modern era of technology, we can barely imagine our day-to-day activities without electronic devices. Devices with Internet access have become the source of information, entertainment, and even work, making remote jobs more and more popular. The same trend of digitalization came to the book industry, leading to the rise of electronic books, or shortly e-books. Whereas many people predict the extinction of printed books, book shops are still open, and their owners do not seem to plan closing businesses anytime soon. This question is complex, and both material and electronic books have plenty of pros and cons. Electronic books‟ admirers prove that buying printed books is not an ecologically friendly option. One Kindle can contain thousands of books, saving millions of trees. Although an e-book needs electricity to be charged, it can last much longer without a charger compared to a smartphone, which, on average, needs to be recharged every day. In this way, the electricity consumption is not that large for e- books, and their contribution to the deforestation decrease is quite important. A printed copy can last longer, even though ads tell us that electronic devices are timeless. While paper may seem fragile, electronic books are subject to the evolution of digital media. The software and formats used today can change dramatically or even disappear as technology advances. Indeed, what will happen if Amazon stops producing its Kindles? What will happen to your digital library? So many questions that do not arise with a paper book. In any way, we still have books brought to our homes by our grandparents; at the same time, it is highly doubtful that our grandchildren will still be using our e- books. The arrival of the e-book readers has shaken the literary world, but the paper book is still far from saying its last word. These two reading instruments coexist rather well in the literary world. The digital book has not replaced the paper book. On the contrary, it complements the latter, giving us a more extensive choice. Question 33. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. The impact of digitalisation. B. Is it good to have an e-book? C. Will e-books make real books disappear? D.
