People around the world are remembering Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first black president. He died Thursday at the age of 95.

South African President Jacob Zuma said, ＂The nation has lost its greatest son, and our people have lost a father. ＂

Mandela had been in poor health for several years. He was repeatedly treated in hospital, most recently for a lung infection. He became infected with tuberculosis(肺結(jié)核) many years ago while in prison.

Nelson Mandela was the main leader in efforts to end white minority rule in South Africa. He spent 27 years in prison for his part in fighting apartheid(種族隔離)—the nation’s policy of discrimination(歧視)against blacks.

Many world leaders, past and present, are remembering Nelson Mandela.

Frederick W. de Klerk was South Africa’s last apartheid leader. He freed Mandela from prison in 1990. Later, the two men won the Nobel Peace Prize. Mr. de Klerk said people will remember Mandela for the importance he placed on reconciliation(和解) — being able to reach a settlementspan> between conflicting sides. He said their relationship was, in his words, ＂often stormy＂, but he said they were＂always able to come together at critical(關(guān)鍵的)moments. ＂

In the United States, President Barack Obama called Mandela an influential, brave and profoundly good human being. Mr. Obama said Mandela will be remembered for leaving a free South Africa at peace. ＂I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s life. My very first political action — the first thing I ever did that involved an issue, or a policy, or politics — was a protest against apartheid. I would study his words and his writings. ＂

In London, British Prime Minister David Cameron called Mandela a true global hero. In his words, a great light has gone out in the world.

【題目】I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, I’ve done 89 trips ---- of those, 51 have been abroad, I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干細(xì)胞) in my little box because I’ve got two ice packs and that’s how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor to the time they can be implanted in the patient, we’ve got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.

I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence, Rhode Island, and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London. But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence, the lady on the desk said: “Well, I’m really sorry, I’ve got some bad news for you ---- there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient ---- please, please, you’ve got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything. She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me, re-routed (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.

For this courier job, you’re consciously aware that in that box you’ve got something that is potentially going to save somebody’s life.

【1】 Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?

A. provider B. collector

C. delivery man D. medical doctor

A. The ice won’t last any longer.

B. The donor can only wait for that long.

C. The operation needs that much time.

D. He cannot stay away from his job too long.

【3】Which fight did the woman put Peter on first?

A. To Newark. B. To London.

C. To Providence. D. To Washington.

There are 11 colour-coded Underground lines. Services run regularly from around 5:00 to 00:30 (Sunday 07:30 to 23:30).

Visit tfl.gov.uk/tube for more information.

Tip:

Always stand on the right when using the escalators (電動(dòng)扶梯) at Tube stations. It can get hot and busy on the Tube during peak travel times, so you may prefer to travel outside these hours.

After this you will need to add the credit on your card before you use it again. If your contactless payment card has been issued outside the UK, please check tfl.gov.uk/contactless before you use your card to travel on our bus services.
