It was the phne number, 212-263-8134, at which peple can cntact the NYU Langne Transplant Institute t begin the prcess f register t dnate a kidney (肾) r part f a liver.
If the right persn begins the prcess, gets thrugh the screening and dnates, McCabe will likely live. If that never happens, he’ll prbably die. Thugh knwing I’m prbably nt his answer, I called and started the screening prcess. I’ll happily dnate a kidney t McCabe r anyne else in similar need if apprved.
My rgans are well-rested, and have legendary resumes, but they have high miles, t. Fr the 20 years befre I quit drinking in 2003, my liver (肝) and kidneys prcessed liqur (酒) like Amazn ships bks: efficiently, at high vlume, with little cncern fr the brader cnsequences.
When I called Patricia Tabam, the living dnr crdinatr at NYU Langne Health. She emailed paperwrk which I was able t cmplete by aut-filling “yes” under family histry fr any knwn disease.

Such dnatins are nt entirely withut risk. But 10 years after surgery, a liver r kidney dnr is 15% less likely t have died in that decade than the general ppulatin. If yu give part f yur liver, it grws back in eight weeks. If yu give ne f yur tw healthy kidneys, yu’re unlikely t ever miss it.
Hwever, if enugh f us agree t dnate rgans, we culd save the vast majrity f the 107,000 candidates, including McCabe.

Music tends t get stuck in ur heads. Smetimes a tune(曲调)stays n ur thughts and then plays, and replays, which seems never t end. This interesting phenmenn, cmmnly called “earwrm”, becmes a subject explred by scientists. Earwrms can run arund ur heads frm several minutes t numerus hurs. As the meldy(旋律)repeats, it becmes stuck in ur mind. Even thugh ur ears d nt hear the tune, ur brain cntinues t play it.
Earwrms ften take the frm f sng pieces rather than entire sngs, and the sng is usually a familiar ne. Researchers are uncertain why sme sngs are mre likely t get stuck in ur heads than thers, but everyne has their wn tunes. Often thse sngs have a simple, pleasant meldy and charming, repetitive lyrics(歌词), such as ppular cmmercial jingles and slightly annying radi hits. Recent r repeated expsure t a sng r even a small part f a sng can als cause earwrms, as can wrd assciatins, such as a phrase similar t the lyrics f a sng.
Hw peple deal with their earwrms depends n hw they feel abut them. Thse with psitive feelings abut their stuck sngs prefer t just “let them be” while thse with negative feelings turn t mre behaviral respnses, such as singing, talking, r even praying. They are als lking at whether everyday activities help, like ging fr a run r ding a crsswrd. Fr them, getting an unwanted tune ut f their head is a relief. But f curse the sng that cures yu might just end up being the next ne that gets stuck.
8. Which f the fllwing is regarded as an earwrm?
A. A creature living inside ur ears.B. A meldy repeating in ur heads.
C. A tune heard in ur ears.D. A cmplete and familiar sng.
9. Which is mre likely t cause earwrms?
A. Tunes with annying lyrics.B. Meldies with strng beats.
C. Repeated music expsure.D. Widespread cmmercial ads.
10. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A Peple’s annyance f earwrms.B. Peple’s embarrassment ver earwrms.
C. Peple’s ways t handle earwrms.D. Peple’s reactin t earwrms.
11. What can be the best title f the passage?
A. Why That Sng Sticks in Our HeadB. Why the Lyrics Becme Impressive
C. Hw Earwrms Affect Our LifeD. Hw a Tune Becmes a Big Hit

British anthrplgists (人类学家) Russell Hill and Rbert Bartn f the University f Durham, after studying the results f ne-n-ne bxing, tae kwn d, Grec-Rman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, cnclude that when tw cmpetitrs are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is mre likely t win.
Hill and Bartn reprt that when ne cmpetitr is much better than the ther, clur has n effect n the result. Hwever, when there is nly a small difference between them, the effect f clur is enugh tip the balance. The anthrplgists say that the number f times red wins is nt simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant.
Janna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University f Cambridge, has fund similar results in nature. She studies the large African mnkeys knwn as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red nses that stand ut against their white faces. Setchell’s wrk shws that the pwerful males — the nes wh are mre successful with females — have a brighter red nse than ther males.
As well as the studies n primates by Setchell, anther study shws the effect f red amng birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings n the legs f male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), s this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash f red is significant. In fact, researchers frm the University f Glasgw say that the birds’ brightly clured beaks are an indicatr f health. Jnathan Blunt, a bilgist, and his clleagues think they have fund prf that bright red r range beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nthing in nature is simple, hwever, because in species such as the blue fted bby, a cmpletely different clur seems t give the male birds the same advantage with females.
Meanwhile, what abut thse athletes wh win in their events while wearing red? D their clthes give them an unintentinal advantage? Rbert Bartn accepts that “that is the implicatin” f their findings. Is it time fr sprts authrities t cnsider new regulatins n sprts clthing?
12. Accrding t their research. Hill and Bartn cnclude that ________.
A. the clur f clthing has an effect n mst sprt events
B. red shuld be the chice f clur fr clthing in sprts
C. red plays a rle when cmpetitrs are equally capable
D. athletes perfrm better when surrunded by bright red
13. The underlined wrd “tip” in Paragraph 2 is clsest in meaning t ________.
A achieveB. advanceC. keepD. change
14. The example f the blue fted bby prves that ________.
A. male birds use different bdy parts t draw attentin
B. red is nt the nly clur t attract female birds
C. blue gives female birds the same advantage
D. blue can indicate hw healthy a bird is
15. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. The clur red gives male animals the mst advantage.
B. Male zebra finches prefer t have red plastic rings n their legs.
C. Rules n sprts clthing are ging t be changed.
D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage ver their ppnents.

It was the first week f Mia's middle schl. The bell's ringing brught her ut f her daydreaming. She nervusly gathered her bks, preparing t reach anther classrm fr the next new class.
Mia fllwed the ther kids and rushed int the hallway. Others walked in grups, chatted, and laughed, using the break t scialize. Mia, instead, walked alne alng the wall f the hallway, with her head dwn. She was a shy girl, afraid t speak in frnt f ther kids, and didn't think thers wuld like her.

Fun was far beynd what Mia desired. She just wanted t be like ther kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and jking between classes. Reminded f her pimply（长粉刺的）face, she felt hpeless and disappinted.
“Take ut a piece f paper,” the teacher cntinued, when pinting at wrds n the blackbard. “Write fr the next thirty minutes n this tpic.” Mia began writing crazily as idea after idea fught fr recgnitin in her head. The final result was a shrt stry abut a beautiful beach huse. As she wrte, she culd smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull f the sand beneath her feet. Fr just a mment, she frgt where she was. She was lst in the stry.
“OK, pass yur papers frward,” said the teacher. “Let's see what we have.” Fr the rest f the class time, the teacher read each individual wrk alud. Mia riginally thught it wuld be awkward. Hwever, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher's vice. “He's actually enjying this,” she thught. When the class wuld be sn ver, there were still fifteen students' papers nt read, including Mia's paper. Then, Mr. Jhnsn annunced his decisin, asking these students t read their wrk themselves in frnt f the class next class.
