Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2017·石家庄模拟)When I was about ten years old,I was walking down the street
with my mother.She stopped to speak to Mr.Lee,and I knew I could see Mr.Lee any
time around the neighborhood,so I didn't pay any attention to him.After we passed
Mr.Lee,my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that
day until now.She said,“You let that be the last time you've ever walked by somebody
and not opened up your mouth to speak,because even a dog will wag its tail when
it passes you on the street.”Mother's words sound simple,but it's been a guidepost
for me and the foundation of who I am.
It's not just something I believe in;it's become a way of life.I believe that
every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence,no matter how
humble (卑微的) they may be.
At work,I always said hello to the founder of the company and asked him how
our business was doing.But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and
asked how their children were doing.After a few years of greeting the founder,I
had the courage to ask him for a meeting.We had a great talk.At a certain point I
asked him how far he thought I could go in his company.He said,“If you want to,
you can get all the way to this seat.”
I've become vice president,but that hasn't changed the way I approach people.I
still follow my mother's advice.I speak to everyone I see,no matter where I am.I've
learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world,and it allows
them to come into mine,too.

(2017·贵阳三校联考)Sweden's blood service is enlisting new technology to help
push back against blood shortages.One new plan,where donors are sent automatic text
messages telling them when their blood has actually been used,has caught the public
eye.People who donate initially receive a “thank you” text when they give blood,
but they get another message when their blood makes it into somebody else's veins.
The service says the messages give donors more positive feedback about how
they've helped their fellow citizens—which encourages them to donate again.“It's
a great feeling to know you made such a big difference and maybe even saved someone
else's life,” says Ms Blom Wiberg.“We get a lot of visibility in social media and
traditional media thanks to the SMS.But above all we believe it makes our donors
come back to us,and donate again.”
During National Blood Donation Week street signs and shop fronts around the

country are having the letters “O” and “A” quietly removed,representing the
missing blood types.“We simply can't ignore the fact that there has been a severe
reduction in the number of new donors coming forward—a trend seen across the world,”
Jon Latham said.“While we can meet the needs of patients now,it's important that
we strengthen the donor base for the future.”
In Stockholm,residents can go to the local blood service's website and see a
live chart of how much blood is left.“The same info as we have internally is shown
externally,” says Ms Blom Wiberg.The thinking is that when stocks run low,people
will respond if they know there is a problem.
Other initiatives rolled out in some areas include letting donors sign a contract
agreeing that authorities are allowed to aggressively bother them by text message,
Facebook,and email until they donate blood.The messages include lighthearted
threats,such as:“We won't give up until you bleed.”
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。瑞典的献血者们现在可以通过接收短信的方式来知晓
他们所献的血的具体使用情况。

A.more countries are strengthening their donor base
B.the patients' need for blood can't be satisfied
C.blood types of O and A are urgently needed
D.fewer people donate blood around the world

of new donors coming forward—a trend seen across the world”可知,在全世界范围
内,有一种趋势就是献血者越来越少。]
7.To ensure stable blood supplies,Stockholm .
A.asks residents to sign a lifelong contract of donating blood
