21、"Be proud of what you do," my father always told me, "whether (是否) you are a boss (老板) or a cleaner．" When I was 15, I got a summer job in a hospital．I was told that my duties would include sweeping floors．I smiled and remembered Dad's words．

Even though my job was the lowest, it made me feel excited．I saw it as a challenge because it was my first job．I learned to be on time and tried to do everything well．In return, I was treated with respect (尊重) by doctors, nurses and patients．Each morning I imagine that the dirty dishes would make patients more sick if I were not there to wash them clean．After breakfast was done, I started sweeping the floors of all patients rooms and cleaning toilets．Though I was tired, I wanted the job to be done well．People would say, "That young boy really does a good job．" That gave me a pride．

Working in the hospital taught me that being proud of one's job is important．It does not matter whether the job is sweeping floors or managing a large business．Through every job I have ever had, my father's words have always stayed with me．I have swept floors, and I have been a manager (經(jīng)理)．I think Dad would be proud of me．

19、Many hospitals have blood banks．In these banks, blood of all types is stored．When blood is needed, it is taken from the bank．Healthy people then give blood to the bank to replace (取代) the blood that is used．Blood can be kept in the fridge for about three weeks with a kind of chemical．

When people lose much of their blood because of operation or accident, they may need transfusions (輸血)．Some people may need transfusions because of illness．Sometimes only a part of the blood is used for transfusions．Plasma (血漿), the liquid part of the blood, may be given alone．Transfusions of plasma are often given when people have been badly burned．

When a person gets a transfusion, he gets blood of the same type as his．Or there maybe a bad reaction (反應(yīng))．To make it safer, before a transfusion is given, the blood to be used must be tested with the blood of the person who is to receive it．This testing is called cross matching of the blood．

Oswald Robertson, an American doctor, was the first one to give transfusions．He used blood that had been stored for some time to help wounded soldiers in 1918 in World War I．
