Karl Landsteiner first thought of naming blood types in 1900. He put blood into four types. These four blood types were named A, B, AB, and O. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the second most common. and type AB is the least common.
Doctors try to give blood to a person according to the person’s blood type. Blood type O can be given to a person with any other blood type, but doctors also need to make sure that the “RH factor (因子)” in patients’ blood matches the blood they are given. If people have one kind of protein (蛋白质)in their blood, they are RH positive (Rh+). If people do not have the protein, they are Rh negative (Rh-). Most people are Rh+.
If a mother has an Rh- blood type, she may have trouble when she has a baby. If her baby is Rh+, the baby’s blood may mix with the mother’s blood before the baby is born. The mother’s blood will change. If the mother has another Rh+ baby, the mother’s blood will attack the baby’s blood. The baby may die or become sick. Doctors have to watch the mother and baby carefully in these cases.Who named the blood type?

Once upon a time， there was a king． He only had one leg and one eye，but he was very smart and kind． Everyone lived a happy and healthy life because of the king． One day， the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the paintings of his ancestors（祖先）．He thought that one day his children would also walk in the same hallway and remember all the ancestors through these paintings．He wanted his children to remember him，too．So he invited many famous artists
to his palace．
All of the artists began to think about the king's physical disabilities（生理缺陷）． How could his painting be made very beautiful？It was not possible．They weren't sure what his painting would be like．So one by one， they all started to politely refuse to make a painting of the king．
But suddenly one artist raised his hand and said he would make a very nice painting of the king． The king became happy hearing that． Then the artist started painting． After a long time， the painting was ready．
When the artist showed the painting， everyone was shocked． In the painting， the king was sitting on a horse， on the one﹣leg side， holding his bow （弓箭） and aiming （瞄准） something with his one eye closed． The king was very happy and gave him lots of money．
As we all know， no one is perfect． So we should try to focus on （关注） others' advantages instead of their disadvantages． Just take an optimistic view （乐观的观点） of the event． Everyone can do a good job．

（2）Why did the king invite artists to draw a painting of him？
（3）Was it an easy job or a hard job to draw a painting of the king．

Do you think laughter can help you deal with pain？ Scientists from Britain did two experiments（实验）． The first was done in a lab． People wore special wristbands（腕带）． Some of them were asked to watch comedies while others watched serious programs． Then the scientists tightened（勒紧）the wristbands to see how much pain the people could feel．
The other test was done at an art festival． Some people watched a comedy show and others watched a drama（戏剧）． At the same time， they had to put their backs against the wall and keep their legs bent（弯曲的）just like sitting on a chair． They did this before and after the show．
Scientists found that just 15 minutes of laughter improves people's ability to stand pain by 10%．However， the serious programs and the drama didn't make a difference to pain at all．
The study found that the magic power of laughter comes from endorphins（内啡肽）． These are chemicals（化学物质）． They are produced by the human body． They make you feel less pain and can make people feel happier． Exercise can produce endorphins．Your muscles（肌肉）move in and out when you are laughing．Scientists believe that this makes your muscles tiring，so we start to produce endorphins．
Scientists also found that the only real and relaxing laughter works not just polite laughter．
Next time you have a headache，get together with a group of Mends，watch a funny movie and laugh．You will soon feel a lot better because laughter is the best medicine．

As the fifth of seven children， I went to the same public school as my three elder sisters and brother．Every year， each child from the third grade took part in an old school tradition﹣the plant sale held in early May， just before Mother's Day．
That year I was old enough to take part in it． I wanted to surprise my mother， but I didn't have any money． I told my elder sister about it and she gave me some money． When I arrived at the plant sale， I carefully chose my favorite． I watched each plant seriously to make sure that I could find the best geranium（天竺葵）． After school， with the help of my sister I bid it on the neighbor's porch（门廊）．On Mother's Day， I remember how bright my mother's eyes were and how alated she was at my gift．

surprise our mother． Like my elder sister did for me， I gave her some money． And she bought the same gift and we hid it in the same place． When she gave the gift to my mother， I watched them full of pride and happiness． My mother noticed me watching and gave me a soft and secret smile． With a shock at my heart， I smiled back．
