They put a special pig kidney (肾) into a man who couldn’t wake up because of a bad brain cancer (脑癌). The pig kidney worked inside the man’s body for 32 days, which is a long time. The man’s name is Maurice Miller, and he was found unconscious (昏迷的) in July. Doctors thought he wouldn’t wake up. His family said it was okay to try using a pig kidney in the doctors’experiment (实验). After a whole month, the pig kidney was still doing its job inside Mr Miller’s body and there were no problems like rejection (排异). It is the longest a special pig kidney like this has lasted inside a human body. If doctors can get really good at doing these kinds of transplants, they might save a lot of lives every year. Pigs are great for this because their organs are the right size, they grow fast, they have lots of babies, and people already raise them for food. Mr Miller’s sister said that even though her brother couldn’t be with them, he would be happy to know that he helped many people. 1．How long did the pig kidney work inside the man’s body? A．Four weeks. B．A month. C．Thirty-two days. D．Less than thirty days. 2．What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “transplants” in Paragraph 3?

Her post has got over 15000 likes and has been shared over 27000 times online. Many parents have begun to imitate her. In other words, they use the same way to teach their children.

They put a special pig kidney (肾) into a man who couldn’t wake up because of a bad brain cancer (脑癌). The pig kidney worked inside the man’s body for 32 days, which is a long time. The man’s name is Maurice Miller, and he was found unconscious (昏迷的) in July. Doctors thought he wouldn’t wake up.

It is the longest a special pig kidney like this has lasted inside a human body. If doctors can get really good at doing these kinds of transplants, they might save a lot of lives every year. Pigs are great for this because their organs are the right size, they grow fast, they have lots of babies, and people already raise them for food.
