21、There have been many important developments in medicine．The following are two developments that have been very important in saving lives．

Imagine having an operation and being wide awake．This won’t happen，thanks to something called anesthetic．Anesthetics are given to people during operations so that they fall asleep．Anesthetics cause the muscles to relax and the body to become numb（lose all feeling）so that no pain is felt．This helps the doctors to operate more easily．Anesthetics may be taken in different ways：

●Breathing in a gas

●An injection straight into the bloodstream

●Swallowing a tablet

A local anesthetic numbs only the area where the doctor needs to work．A general anesthetic is when a Patient is put into sleep while the doctor operates Anesthetics were first given in 1844．

Heart disease is one of the biggest killers in the world today Luckily，something can be done about it．Someone who has an unhealthy heart can have a heart transport operation．A heart transplant is when the damaged heart of a patient is taken out and a healthy heart is put in．It is said，though，that the healthy heart has to come from someone who has died Doctor Barard from South Africa was the first person to do a heart transplant operation in 1967．Many successful transplants have been done since then．

It is wonderful what doctors are able to do for us．

（    ）1．With the help of______，patients aren’t able to feel painful during the operations．

A．injections             B．pills                     C．gas                        D．a(chǎn)nesthetics

A．200                     B．184                     C．165                       D．41

（    ）3．Which does a doctor use to do a heart transplant operation to save lives，a damaged heart or a healthy heart?

A．A damaged heart     B．A healthy heart    C．Both                      D．Neither

20、Most American students have said goodbye to fancy（高檔的）fruits these days．In school canteens across the country，cheaper fruits like apples and oranges have taken their place．

“People are afraid to spend now，”said Linda Morrow，who owns a shoe and handbag store．“They don’t know what the future will bring．”During the financial（金融的）crisis（危機(jī)），several of the country’s biggest banks have been sold or closed．This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive things．

Samira Marino，a restaurant owner in Miami，has found everyone is ordering water instead of juice and more people are sharing meals．In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press（出版社）across the country last month．Americans talked about their concerns，from worries about small businesses to doubts（懷疑）about simply making ends meet（維持生計(jì)）．

The crisis began last year．Experts（專家） think it was because US banks lend money too easily．Last year a lot of people and companies，who borrowed money，have found themselves unable to pay it back．As a result，the banks had no money to pay back the people who put their money in the banks．Since the banks borrowed money between themselves and even across borders（國(guó)界），the whole world was in trouble．This month the US government agreed on a$700 billion plan to try to save the financial market．But no one is sure whether it will help or not．President Obama has warned it will take some time．Last week top finance officials from 20 countries promised to work together to find a way out of the money trouble．
