He had led a group of university student volunteers since last year. They help children at a primary school with their studies and daily lives. 八年级英语试题卷（第3页，共6页） “When I was a small child,” Zhao said, “I knew March 5th was a day for people to learn from Lei Feng and help others, but I didn’t know the real meaning of the spirit of Lei Feng. Now when I see the smiling faces of the kids I have helped, I deeply understand Lei Feng. Helping others makes me happy.” Lei Feng (1940-1962) is one of the best-known soldiers in Chinese history. He lost his parents when he was very young. His neighbors brought him up. He died in an accident at he age of 22. He did many good deeds in his short life. For example, he gave his own money to the parents of another soldier, and bought a ticket for a woman he didn’t know without telling her his name. On March 5th, 1963, Chairman Mao called on people to “Learn form Lei Feng” and made the day “Lei Feng Day”. Today almost 50 years had passed since Lei Feng’s death. Some people say that the spirit of Lei Feng is out of date. There have been many reports about the coldness(冷漠) of people towards strangers. This had made many Chinese people think deeply about themselves. Many people think we need to promote(提倡) Lei Feng spirit again. The important thing is that we must be ready to help others and make it a habit. 46. Which day is “Lei Feng Day”？ A. May 3rd B. May 5th C. March 3rd D. March 5th 47. Who brought Lei Feng up? A.

University Student Volunteers (B) When you cut your skin, you bleed (流血). If a person loses a lot of blood (血液), he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong! When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called "blood transfusion" (输血). The blood goes from the arm of a healthy person into the arm of a sick person. But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups---O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood
