题目

Dorothy was in a bit of a quandary (不知所措). She was undecided about whether she should go or not, but she had worn out all of her excuses. The only solution was to seek support, so she rang a friend. “I’m just going to the university to donate blood. What do you think? Does that sound like a good idea to you? ”After some communication and persuasion, Xiaohui agreed to go too. On arrival at the university clinic, they found about 20 other students also donating blood. Their primary task was to register with the nurse. She started by interviewing each of them for a few minutes and filling in a form. Then she used a surprisingly sharp small razor to take a spot of blood from each of them to check their blood group. Both of them felt a little nervous but they did their best not to show it. When there was a bed free, Dorothy was asked and she lay down. The nurse checked her blood pressure and then gently inserted a needle into her left arm. Dorothy felt the tiniest prick (刺痛) but otherwise it was painless. She didn’t feel courageous enough to examine the contents of the bottle filling up beside her so she just relaxed on the bed and thought carefully about who might be the recipient (接受者) of her life-giving blood. The nurse came back after about 15 minutes and checked on her progress; she announced that the bottle was full. She removed the needle from Dorothy’s arm and handed her a small piece of cotton wool to press on the spot.“You lie there and relax for a few minutes,”she said and then she disappeared to look after Xiaohui. About ten minutes later she came back. “Thank you very much”, she said. “That’s all for now. You can go and have a drink and a biscuit if you like.” She indicated a table at the far end of the room. Dorothy sat up gingerly (小心地). “I thought I was going to feel giddy (眩晕的) and sick but I feel just the same as normal.” The nurse glanced up at her. “Well, there are no dangerous side effects,” she laughed. “But you’ve just donated a pint of blood so don’t try running a 100-meter race this evening or you’ll definitely notice!” The girls both sauntered (漫不经心地走) over to the table as if they gave blood every day. They sat down and had a glass of orange juice and a couple of biscuits. “That wasn’t too bad,” said Xiaohui “I thought it was going to be a little frightening, but that was fine.” “Yes” said Dorothy “no problem at all” We should do this more often!” 63.
