The story of Lani
Five-year-old Lani stilltakes seven medicines with her breakfast every morning.“She’s very good about it ,”says her father David. Lani is alive today because of ther father David,more than one way; when she was one year old she received part of her father’s liver in a liver-transplant operation. Lani was born with a liver illness. 46 Doctor advised that trans-plant was the only way in which she would live.
The operation lasted 12 hours and needed two teams, one for the father and one for the daughter. 47 In these cases, the doctor’s liver grows to normal size in about eight weeks and the child’s liver becomes smaller.
Lani spent three weeks in hospital after the operation. Because the receiver’s body tries to reject the new organ, the patient has to be given special drugs.48
Although David left hospital after 10days, he didn’t return to work untilafter three months. In order to reach the liver, the doctors have to cut through the stomach wall, which is strong and full of muscle. It therefore takes a long time to recover after this operation.49
So far ,only 16 of these liver-transplant operations have been carried out in Britain. 50 Doctors say,“if possible,we prefer to take a liver from a dead donor, usually a parent.”
Lani still has to look after her health, and she gets more tired than other children of the same age, but doctors hope that she wil continue to get stronger and stronger.
A She had one operation when she was six weeks old, which was not successful.
B While these drugs are given, it is important that the patient does not catch any illness, not even a cold.
C In this operation a piece of liver, weighing about 250-300grams, was removed from the father and transplanted into the daughter.
D David quickly recovered from the operation.
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan.
F David was finally able to ride his bike again after about a year.

听力原文： Hollywood produces many different kinds of films, including mysteries, musicals, love stories, and horror films. As different as these films may be, they generally have one thing in common conflict. The main character wants something very badly and will do anything to get it. The opponent tries to stop the main character from achieving his goal. This opposition creates conflict, and conflict is the heart of drama. To give an example, let's say the main character is a young man of humble origin who wants to marry the beautiful daughter of a rich banker. The father thinks the young man is unworthy of his daughter, and he does not allow her to see him. The young man, who's very much in love, refuses to give up without a fight. The conflict between the young man and the girl's father is what makes the story interesting; it forces the main character to take action, and through their actions we see them as they actually are. In a good story, the main character changes he is not the same at the end of the story as he was at the beginning. He learns something from his experiences that make him a different, perhaps batter person. And we learn something from watching him. Good movies not only entertain us, they also help us understand a little more about life.
