People who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation – but they could be better off if they keep taking it.
Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from Israel.
Release of a substance called thromboxane (血栓素) is associate with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.
They therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.
Those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.
On the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.
The researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”
Based on their findings, Gerrah’s team recommends that aspirin therapy not be discontinued before coronary artery bypass surgery.

“We’re going,” Mimi called out to her mother in the family’s grocery store next to her house. This was her first date, and Robert Rovere had just arrived to take her to a dance. She could hardly believe it was happening. During the long wait she had wondered again and again what to wear, finally putting on her favorite blouse. Now at last Robert was here. He looked beautiful to her. His hair was neatly combed and he wore a yellow sweater she hadn’t seen before. Mimi felt wonderful.
As they stepped out of the door, Mimi’s mother popped out of the store and said hello to Robert. Then she put a package wrapped in white paper into Mimi’s hand.
“Limburger cheese for Sally Thompson, Mimi. We got a case of imported Limburger in today. I promised Sally you’d deliver it tonight.”
“Tonight!” Mimi echoed, staring down at the cheese. “Why not tomorrow?”
“Sorry, but I promised Sally,” her mother said. “Well, have fun, you two.”
“Oh well, Robert, let’s go,” she said.
Her first date ever, her first date with Robert Rovere, and she was stuck with a large, smelly, messy package of cheese! She tried to forget it. “Here I am,” she said to herself, “going to a dance with Robert Rovere.” She glanced up at him.
“That cheese smells,” he said.
She held the cheese in the hand farthest from him, but the smell seemed to be crawling up her arm.
They turned onto Montcalm Street. Mimi didn’t know the house number, but she thought she’d recognize the house because she’d passed there once before. “Oh, here it is.” She rang the bell but nobody answered. Then she noticed that the name under the bell wasn’t Thompson. She had come to the wrong house. Oh, how embarrassing, she thought. She dropped the cheese into her coat pocket and rejoined Robert.
“Wrong house,” she said. “I was sure she lived there.”
“What do we do now?” Robert asked.
Mimi bit her lip. She couldn’t bring the cheese home again now. It would just have to go to the dance with her. “Let’s go,” she said. She was so miserable she couldn’t think of anything else to say, and she and Robert walked the rest of the way in a silence as thick as the bad smell of the cheese.
When they arrived at the dance, the place was full of people and there was no room to hang their coats. Mimi wanted to wash her hands, but Robert led her straight onto the dance floor. Mimi noticed that Robert smelled sweet, like lily of the valley. She smelled of Limburger cheese.
Mimi danced with all her heart. Robert’s eyes were closed, probably trying to forget her and her smell, she thought. …
68．What particular point suggests that Mimi was nervous about her date?
A．She could hardly believe she had taken such a long time to get ready.
B．She kept Robert waiting for a long time until she was ready.
C．She spent a long time making herself look nicer.
D．She wondered many times whether Robert would like the yellow sweater.
69．Why did Mimi bring the cheese with her into the dance hall?
A．Robert said nothing about the cheese on the way to the dance.
B．She couldn’t find any place to leave it.
C．She thought the cheese was not as smelly as the lily of the valley.
D．The room for hanging coats was full of people.
70．Which of the following was most likely to happen in the end?
A．Their first date was a success.
B．The smell ruined the date.
C．Robert took all the cheese after the dance.
D．They quarreled over the smelly cheese.

Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.
On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long – term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.
To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.
Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.
Some societies have ‘universalist’ cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way.
‘Particularist’ societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.
This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has two much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check – in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check – in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn’t be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don’t have his problem.
71．Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians       .
A．like traveling better
B．easy to communicate with
C．difficult to make real friends
D．have a long – term relationship with their neighbors
72．People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those      .
A．who will tell them everything of their own
B．who want to do business with them
C．they know quite well
D．who are good at talking
73．A person from a less mobile society will feel it      when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions.
A．boring          B．friendly          C．normal          D．rough
74．Which of the following is true about “particularist societies”?
A．There is no rule for people to obey.
B．People obey the society’s rules completely.
C．No one obeys the society’s rules though they have.
D．The society’s rules can be changed with different persons or situations.
75．The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different          .
A．interests                                    B．habits and customs
C．cultures                                            D．ways of life

There’s much debate online about whether it’s a wise decision to ban the use of web slang.
As the saying goes, different men usually see the same subject in different lights. Those who are for the ban on web slang feel that it’s right to do so. For one thing, it will help keep the Chinese language in good use. What’s more, too much such slang would make it more difficult for people of different ages to communicate and understand each other. In the long run, youth of today would fail to use good and correct Chinese.
The other people who are against the ban argue that more new words should be added to our language with the development of our society. What’s more, web slang is a good reflection of people’s life and can help up keep us with the times. In addition, it’s more convenient for people to communicate using web slang. It simply makes no sense to put an end to the use of it.
