He was the only boy among great many girl cousins. That was enough to make him important, but his father loved him especially, because he knew his son was going to be an artist. Pablo knew the word for pencil even before he could say Mamma and Papa. When he was small he spent hours by himself making delightful little drawings of animals and people. If his mother sent him out to play in the square, he went on drawing in the dust under the trees. One of his favorite models was his younger sister, Lola.Don Jose Ruiz, Pablo’s father, was director of the museum at Malaga in southern Spain. He earned only a small salary, but there was not much work to do and he was able to practice his hobby, which was painting pigeons. Don Jose loved pigeons very much. He painted them dead or alive in ones and twos and in dozens. Sometimes he painted them on paper, cut them out and stuck them on to canvas; sometimes he stuck real feathers on to his pictures.

It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can show a person’s blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can be given to any other group, and, hence, it is often called the universal giver. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal receiver. However, because so many reactions can happen in transfusions, patients usually receive salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.51. A good title for this selection is ______.A Getting Blood and PlasmaB Special Blood ColorsC Universal Giver and ReceiverD Human Blood Types52. The author suggests that the rarest blood type be _____ among Europeans.A AB BC ABD O53. People with type A blood can receive _______.A ABB BC OD all the above54. If you need a transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is _____.A type AB type ABC exactly the same type as yoursD a mixture of salt, plasma, and type O55.

In the early 1900s all women wore their skirts down to the ankle. Today, skirt length varies from floor-length to ten inches above the knee.

Then, several years later, they were not considered fashionable. Today they are back in style again in all colors, lengths and materials. In fact, today’s women can wear all types of clothes—even T-shirts and shorts on almost any occasion.
