It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another school next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that we have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team beat us last year. This year we want to do better.
It is more difficult to practice in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practice.
Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the final match. What a pity! This year we are training more carefully. That means we have a better chance of winning.
The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on loudly and we feel more confidentto win the game.

It was a great day for American girl D’ Zhana Simmons when she got a new heart. However, her dream died when the new heart started not to work properly. The doctors had to take it away. She needed another heart transplant (移植). But the doctors couldn’t find a proper heart so soon. Then they came up with an idea — they would use two machines to keep her blood flowing in her body. After waiting for about four months, D’ Zhana had another heart transplant. It was very successful.
When doctors use a man-made heart to keep a patient’s life, they usually leave the patient’s own heart in the body. “She, we believe, is possibly one of the youngest that had the machines without her own heart,” one of D’ Zhana Simmons’ doctors said.
Living without a heart for 118 days — that’s great. When a heart transplant doesn’t work, doctors have no time to waste. If they don’t get a new heart or some machines to help the patient, he or she will die. The patient’s life is in their hands. This story once again shows how important the medical (医疗的) world really can be. I hope that one day I will be a doctor. I hope I can be so quick and helpful to my patients.Why did D’ Zhana Simmons’ dream die?
| A．Because her new heart didn’t work properly. |
| B．Because she didn’t have enough money for a new heart. |
| C．Because her health was too bad to get a heart transplant. |
| D．Because the doctors didn’t know what to do with her new heart. |
The underlined word “flowing” in the first paragraph means “” in Chinese.
| A．稀释 | B．凝固 | C．过滤 | D．流动 |
How long did D’ Zhana Simmons live without a heart?
| A．About three weeks. |
| B．About four weeks. |
| C．About three months. |
| D．About four months. |
What’s the writer’s dream job?
| A．A driver. | B．A nurse. |

Which of the following is true according to the passage?
| A．D’ Zhana Simmons had only one heart transplant. |
| B．The doctors used two machines to keep D’ Zhana Simmons’ life. |
