　　A
　　Have you ever had a science class that you look forward to? It doesn’t happen often. But when you have a teacher like Mrs. Field, it’s more than a science class. It’s a science class where learning is easy and fun. There is no getting down to a huge textbook or listening to a teacher about something you don’t care about.
　　My experience with Mrs. Field didn’t start with science class, but with her as my tutor. I was always a weak reader and wasn’t getting any better. My parents told me I needed to be tutored. One day after school, I went into the library with my mom for my first tutoring time. I had no idea who was tutoring me. My mom practically had to drag me into the library. The first thing we did was to play a game to get to know each other and get rid of the awkwardness. We didn’t even play a reading game.
　　We also went around the library and I got to pict a book I wanted to read. She didn’t make me read a boring textboot something I didn’t care about. I didn’t even pick a book. I pict a magazine about remote control cars. I thought to myself, how bad could it be? To my surprise, she told me even though I was reading a magazine, I was still reading. After the first magazine, she pict a book she liked. I would read a chapter and then she would read a chapter to me, in this way I didn’t have to read for long periods of time.
　　As I got better and faster at reading, I was able to read two chapters in the same amount of time, which used to take me to read one chapter.
　　Reading is one of the most important things in high school and college to be successful. If it were not for her, I would not be the reader I am today!

　　Death is natural, but do you have any idea of the process of dying? Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases --- clinical or temporary death and biological death. Clinical death occurs when the vital organs, such as the heart or lungs, have ceased to function, but have not suffered permanent damage. The organism can still be revived（复活）. Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the “breap”of vital cells and tissues. Death is then unchangeable and final.
　　Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs. The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism, combined with narcotic（麻醉的）sleep. By slowing down the body’s metabolism（新陈代谢）, cooling delays the processes leading to biological death.
　　To illustrate how this works, scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta. The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic. Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature. When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery（动脉）. The monkey’s blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped: clinical death set in. For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state. Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees. At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing. After two minutes Keta’s heart became active once more. After fifteen minutes, spontaneous（自发的）breathing began, and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head. After six hours, when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin（青霉素）injection, Keta seized the syringe（注射器）and ran with it around the room. Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal.
　　5. For a person who suffers from the clinical death, _________.
　　A. his most important organs are damaged.
　　B. he still has the possibility of getting back to life.
　　C. he cannot avoid final death.
　　D. he is still very much alive
