Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion（输血）{#blank#}2{#/blank#} her 5-year-old brother, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to fight the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ill).

    The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for a moment before{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (take) a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I'll do it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it can save Liz.”

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (see) the color returning to her cheeks, he smiled. Then {#blank#}9{#/blank#} face grew pale and his smile disappeared. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right now?”

    Being young, the boy had{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (understand) the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood.
