[2016·石家庄质检]Most people think about donating blood. However, very few actually do it. Even the most consistent W1ones donate an average of just three to four times during their lifetime. Now the officials in Sweden are trying to change the trend w ith the help of P1modern－day technology.

The encouragement W2to donate again begins shortly after the donor leaves the clinic when he/she receives a “thank you” text. Though that certainly helps th em feel appreciated, w hat is e v en more pleasing is the text they recei v e each time their blood is used to help someone in need.S Karolina Wiberg, manager of the Stockholm blood service, believes this small gesture not only results in repeat donors, but helps bring in new ones. The_program that was started in Stockholm has received such positi v e W3feedback that it is now being rolled out across the country.

However, Swedish officials are not stopping there. They are also encouraging local clinics to publish the exact levels of the different blood groups they have at any given time on their websites. This allows potential donors to realize that their blood can make a difference P2in saving someone's life.

While all these outreach programs are great, busy citizens, even the ones with the best intentions have to be occasionally reminded. In order to jog their memories, officials ask people for authorization to send them text, Facebook, and e－mail reminders. Though that may sound disturbing, the citizens do not seem to mind, given that the messages are light－hearted and fun－things lik e “We won't give up until you bleed.”

Though Sweden is currently the only country using modern technology to urge W4more donations, don't be surprised if more join in, especially W5if the Nordic (北欧) country's blood banks start to overflow!

[2016·荆州一中质检] Generally speaking, government regulations W1normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70 km (45 miles) east of Sao Paulo, have_gone_far_beyond_that. They plan to prohibit W2residents from dying early because the local cemetery (墓地) has reached full capacity.

There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated (火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution W3：outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. “They have not taken local demands into consideration P1”，he claims.
