問題詳情

VI. Reading Comprehension (12% @2)  A.   Love is a powerful force. It can drive people to do the unthinkable, and when the unthinkable saves a life, it’s all the more touching. Jimmie Sue Swilling was born with only one kidney. She didn’t realize this, however, until she was trying to start a family with her husband, Larry Swilling. Doctors told her it was unlikely that she could have children. Against all odds, Jimmie Sue gave birth to not one, but three healthy kids. Still, she knew that one day, a kidney transplant would be required. That day finally came when, at the age of 76, Jimmie Sue was told that her one kidney was about to fail and she was in need of an urgent transplant. With no kidneys available, she was put on a long waiting list. Her husband, however, couldn’t stand the thought of life without his wife, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.   One morning, Larry woke up with an idea. He made a sandwich board sign that read “Need kidney 4 wife,” strapped it to his body, and set out with a heart full of hope. Larry pounded 15 miles of pavement in 97°F heat and with a bad knee. After that walk, he received nearly 2,000 phone calls. Still, until a confirmed donor was found, Larry refused to give up, and a few days later, he walked another 54 miles. Larry’s awe-inspiring love and devotion to his beloved wife was the reason that a 41-year-old woman from Virginia was so touched that she decided to donate her kidney to Jimmie Sue. Luckily, it was a match, so Larry and Jimmie Sue were able to live out their sunset years in happiness until her death at 80 in 2017.
