听力原文： Good morning. As part of your orientation to campus life, the Dean's Office has scheduled a short tour of the medical clinic and the infirmary. We, on the nursing staff, hope that none of you get sick.

But just in case you do become ill, we want you to know what procedures to follow. If you have a really bad cold, it's a good idea to have one of us check you over at the clinic. Several students last year didn't see a nurse about their bad colds, and they developed terrible coughs. It's possible to get pneumonia when you neglect the cough. If you do get something as serious as pneumonia, you'll have to come and stay in the infirmary. A doctor visits the infirmary regularly.

On the other hand, if you just have an ordinary cold, you can usually stay in your dormitory room. Many students try to keep up with their usual activities when they don't feel well. As a result, they often get much sicker. I think it's wise to rest more and skip a few classes. If you are 711, you can always get a medical excuse from one of us or from the doctor. The clinic hours are from nine to twelve every week day morning. But there is an emergency number you can call anytime, which you can find in the campus telephone book. Before we start on our tour of the infirmary, do you have any questions？

What is the speaker？

A．A nurse.

B．A doctor.

C．A professor.

D．A student.

Tony Huesman, a heart transplant recipient (接受者) who lived a record 31 years with a single donated organ has died at age 51 of leukemia (白血病), but his heart still going strong. "He had leukemia," his widow Carol Huesman said, "His heart—believe it or not—held out. His heart never gave up until the end, when it had to."

Huesman got a heart transplant in 1978 at Stanford University. That was just 11 years after the world&39;s first heart transplant was performed in South Africa. At his death, Huesman was listed as the world&39;s longest survivor of a single transplanted heart both by Stanford and the Richmond, Virginia-based United Network for Organ Sharing.

"I&39;m a living proof of a person who can go through a life-threatening illness, have the operation and return to a productive life," Huesman told the Dayton Daily News in 2006.

Huesman worked as marketing director at a sporting-goods store. He was found to have serious heart disease while in high school. His heart, attacked by a pneumonia (肺炎) virus, was almost four times its normal size from trying to pump blood with weakened muscles.

Huesman&39;s sister, Linda Huesman Lamb, also was stricken with the same problem and received a heart transplant in 1983. The two were the nation&39;s first brother and sister heart transplant recipients. She died in 1991 at age 29.

Huesman founded the Huesman Heart Foundation in Dayton, which seeks to reduce heart disease by educating children and offers a nursing scholarship in honor of his sister.

Tony Huesman died from ____________.

A.heart failure

B.heart transplant

C.pneumonia

D.non-heart-related disease

A、Suppurative pneumonia

B、Necrotizing bacterial pneumonia

C、Bacteremia

D、Tuberculosis

some of their capabilities, and finally die. This loss of capabilities is progressive, irreversible and common for all members of a species and is called aging. In humans it shows in many ways, some very visible: decline in height, shrinkage of muscle, thinning and graying of hair, and wrinkling of skin. Internally, and even more significantly, there is the progressive loss of cells in the brain, kidneys, and other vital organs. This cell loss has resulted in stoppage of a vital process. Whatever the reason, important tissues ranging from the muscles to the brain shrink and become less competent with age. Many of these changes are reflected in functional decline. Not only do nerve cells at levels from the brain to the spinal cord diminish, but also those that remain conduct impulses at a slower rate so that the reaction time of the older animal is slowed. Memory often shows a decline.

Another widespread decline is in the loss of cells involved in the hearing process. The loss is most masked for high pitches and may require tile assistance of a battery-operated hearing aid. More subtle are such declines as those in the processes involved with being immune to disease, which result in a lessoned ability of the older organism to cope with infection. Indeed, pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death among the elderly population of most nations.

Mixed with true aging processes are disease processes that may be so common as to be mistaken for aging. For instance, the buildup of deposits of fatty materials in arteries tends to be progressive with aging; everything else being equal, the narrowing of arteries results in such serious illnesses as stroke or heart attack, occurring with increasing frequency as an individual ages.

It is now recognized that arteriosclerosis is the result of many factors, not only genetic but also environmental high blood pressure, high saturated-fat diets, and smoking, the effects of which be come more obvious with the passage of time. It is therefore an age-related, but not a universal aging, process and can thus usually be controlled.

As far as aging is concerned ______.

A．the changes inside human bodies are more important than exterior ones

B．the loss of competence is more significant than that of cells

C．the shrinkage of muscles is more significant than the decline in height

D．the thinning of hair is less important than the wrinkling of skin

A.肺炎

B.炎症

C.发炎

D.角膜炎
