The people began talking a lot about Women's Liberation. 1 At first I did not take it seriously. I thought that the women in the movement were just unhappy and bitter. I had the 2 idea that they hated men, whereas I myself had nothing against men at all. However, I was encouraged by a friend to attend a meeting in North London. There were Women's Liberation groups in each area of London, varying in size and in their particular interests. The group I attended was started by a few of middle-class intellectual women who wanted to get the support of working-class housewives in the area. However, when I turned up at the meeting I found that the other women were all the middle-class graduates, a few with several degrees. Some of the girls were very intellectual and articulate, and had even published books or appeared on TV. I have been going to the group for several years now and we have had some interesting discussions about the issues the Women's Liberation Movement is concerned with.

Blood is very important . When doctors understand how blood goes around inside

Blood is very important. When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to the patient in need of blood. This course is 1 “blo od transfusion (输血)”.

But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they 2 blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups --- O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they 3 give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. If a person has O-group blood and the doctor could give his blood to anyone else safely.

There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often

they cannot find a person in time. At first they find they can keep the blood in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by 4 it very cold. They find how to keep it longer in the end.

One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a “blood bank”. In this way, you may stop 5 dying. Or perhaps one day you m ay become ill and need some blood with the same kind as yours. Then the “blood bank” will give it back to you.

For many people today， reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters， reports， trade publications， interoffice communications， not to mention newspapers and magazines： a never-ending flood of words. In 1 a job or advancing in one，the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age， and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually， words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased， sentences and paragraphs. 7 ， however， the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time， often regressing to 8 words or passages. Regression， the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read， is a common bad habit in reading.
