If was not until one hundred and fifty years ago that scientists learned about
the existence of dinosaurs (恐龙). Thanks to an English doctor and his wife, the door was opened to
this zoological study. Reasoning that the reptiles’ (爬行动物) huge size must have made
them terrible creatures, scientists combined two Greak words, “deimos”, meaning
“terrible” , and “sauros” , meaning “lizards” , to form the word “dimosaur”.
After many years of study, they determined that these beasts roamed the earth
for millions of years, and ceased to exist some sixty million years ago.
Unbelievable as it may seem , not all dinosaurs were carnivorous, that is, meat
eating. Many were herbivorous, or vegetarians.
By reassembling the bones found at excavation (发掘) sites, scientists have been able to reconstruct
the skeletons (骨架)
and ;earn a great deal about the dinosaurs’ living conditions. They have
learned that dinosaurs inhabited not only the land, but also the water
and sky.

Although many people probably do not know this,
English is not the official language of the United States. The official
language is not Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Japanese or Creole either,
although those languages are all common. Which is the official language, then?
There is none!
Unofficially, there are large immigrant
communities on the United States where languages other than English are
dominant. Street signs in Miami are in Spanish and English. In New York, they might be translated into six or seven languages. In California, you can take
a driver’s license exam in 35 different languages.
Some people think that this multilingual
situation is bad. They think that all of these different languages divide the
country and that declaring English to be the official language would unite the
country. Others think, however, that all of the different languages and
cultures in the United States make it a great place to live, and that making
English the official language would isolate (孤立) and exclude immigrants, not unite the
country.

You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a
blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident.
However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the
blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood： A, B, AB and O. A simple test can show a person’s blood type.
Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood . Blood type, like hair
color and height, is received from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must
be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot
receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it
is often called the universal donor (供血者). For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal
recipient (受血者).
However, because so many reactions can happen in transfusions, patients usually
receive only salt or plasma (血浆) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the
blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to keep away from any bad
actions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among
Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while
45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different
percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent
type O.
