Passage 2

You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a bloodtransfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special careshould be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from yourown , the transfusion could kill you.

There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can indicate aperson’s blood type, which, like hair and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfusedcarefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB mayreceive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence it is often called the universal donor.For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt orplasma(liquid)until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank ofa hospital. In his way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.

There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. AmongEuropeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. Forexample, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.

第四部分： 英译汉（满分 15 分）

No one's suggesting that you say directly "I'm too busy" when your boss walks upand asks you to take on a new project. Instead, it's more helpful to point out to yourmanager exactly how heavy your current workload is. It's not as clear as just saying"Nope, sorry," but it gets the same message across: you have enough on your plate, andif you add something else, you'll need their help deciding what comes off.

答： 没有人会建议你在老板过来要求你接受新的任务时说“不” 。 向老板说明自已目前的工作已经很繁重了， 这会更有帮助。 事情并不像只是说： “对不起， 不行。 ”那么简单， 但是传达的信息却是类似的： 你手头的工作够多了， 如果要给你增加任务， 那就得帮你决定哪些任务得拿掉不做。
