James Harrison's entire view on life changed at a very young age. At the age of 14, the Australian teen had an operation during which lots of strangers gave blood to help him. Seeing that his life was saved by the kindness of others, James decided to "pay it forward". Four years later, in 1954, he started giving blood.
The doctors soon discovered that James had a very rare type of antibody（抗体）---the anti-D antibody——in his blood.
In fact, the anti-D antibody could be used to deal with a condition called rhesus disease. In this disease, a pregnant(怀孕的)woman’s body recognizes certain markers on her baby's blood cells(细胞)as foreign. The mother's body then starts making lots of antibodies that destroy her baby's red blood cells. This unwanted course can cause serious illnesses during pregnancy, probably resulting in the baby's death。But James's blood was used to create a treatment plan that could stop the mother's body from becoming prepared in this way.
James was the very first person to give blood to Australia's Anti — D Program. James won the title of "the man with the golden arm” because he has given blood for 1. 173 times. He gave blood every two weeks for 60 years. But no matter how many times he's given blood there's one thing that will never change. " Every time I give blood, I never look at my arm. I look elsewhere or at the nurses, maybe talk to them a bit. I can't stand the sight of blood, and I can't stand pain, ” James said.
The Australian Red Cross says that the man's blood has helped save over two million babies. It is no wonder that he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for his great deeds.
4. Why did James Harrison decide to give blood?
A. To earn a living.
B. To repay society.
C. To save a pregnant woman.
D. To help those who saved him.
5. In which way is James Harrisons blood special?
A. It can improve pregnant women's health condition.
B. It can increase pregnant women's red blood cells.
C. It can help babies produce anti-D antibody.
D. It can stop babies dying from rhesus disease.
6. How does James Harrison feel when giving blood?
A. Stressed and sad.
B. Proud and excited.
C. Frightened and nervous.
D. Thankful and encouraged.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A great hero who saves babies' lives
B. A disease affecting many unborn babies
C. A teenager who suffers from serious illness
D. A pioneer who finds ways to treat rhesus disease
