Charles R. Drew was a medical student at Columbia University in New York. Before he graduated, he wrote an article on blood bank—that is, the storing of blood. Up till then, a lot of people had died from lose of blood because there was no such thing as a blood bank.
When the United States entered the Second World War, it became necessary to set up blood banks. Dr. Drew served as the head of the Red Cross's first blood bank.
When the Red Cross started blood banks to collect and store blood for men wounded in the battle, black Americans gave blood along with the whites. At first their blood was not accepted. Later, blood from blacks was accepted but stored in a different place from “white” blood. Although the head doctors insisted that there was no difference at all between the blood of blacks and whites, the Red Cross, with the support of the government, continued to separate black blood from white.
After the war Dr. Drew was driving with three other doctors to attend a meeting in a southern state. In North Carolina their car went into a ditch(水沟)and Dr. Drew was badly hurt. He had lost a lot of blood by the time a passing ear took him to the nearest hospital. “We don't take in blacks. ”They said. He had to be taken to the colored hospital. On the way Dr. Drew died because he had lost too much blood.

A.A place where blood is stored.
B.A place where blood is sold.

Michael Strassfeld is the rabbi of the Society for the Advancement of Judaism in New York and
the author of recently A book of Life: Embracing Judaism as A Spiritual Practice.
Voice: Being Grateful I think makes us aware or reminds us of the blessings of our lives. It reflects
a sense of how important it is to go through life and go through every day really appreciating
the miracles of every day. And I don't think it's about making the sun stand still as it were or
dividing the Red Sea, but really just the everyday aspects of life, for nature and beauty and
relationships. All those things we enjoy every day, but often we forget about.
Host: Rabbi Strassfeld says that traditional Jews also thank God at painful moments. When one hears
of a death, for example, one blesses God as "the true Judge".
Voice: And it's a way of expressing an acknowledgment that death is also part of life. It doesn't
mean that death is a blessing or that that person is better off, but it just really understands that
everything in life is part of life, and that everything from a traditional viewpoint is created by
God. So all of life is part of that. Blessing and gratitude allows you to emphasize or to focus
more on the good things and to put the difficult things in the broader perspective.
Rabbi Michael Strassfeld says that one should be grateful ______.
A.when everything goes smoothly
B.when the sun stands still
C.for people's appreciation
D.for everyday aspects of life
