   A drug that is used to treat serious bleeding could save thousands of lives for mothers' giving birth. A study of the drug found it reduced the risk of deaths caused by bleeding during childbirth by nearly one third. The study involved 20 ,000 women in 21 countries, mainly in Africa and Asia. The trial was carried out by London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. The drug is called tranexamic acid(凝血酸). It is low-cost and researchers said it does not cause serious side effects for mothers or babies.

The drug is used to treat mothers for serious bleeding during childbirth. Postpartum hemorrhage(产后出血) is the leading cause of maternity(产妇的)death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.

Haleema Shakur is the project director of the trial. She says though medical conditions are improved in many countries , serious bleeding after childbirth remains a big problem in some parts of the world. “It's one of the biggest killers of mothers. In Africa and Asia, about 10 percent of women will end up with serious bleeding. ”The drug works after a mother gives birth.

Shakur said the best results were reported when the drug was given to women as soon as possible after childbirth. “The earlier you give it- so within the first three hours of giving birth- the better the effect is. ”

The next step will be to find where the drug is needed a and provide training for doctors and  nurses on how to use it. During the trial, women were given the drug in a hospital. But researchers are looking for easier ways to use the drug so it can be more widely used in small clinics and  rural1 areas.

【小题1】What can we know about the drug according to the first paragraph?
A.It is not very expensive.
B.It can be used for babies.
C.It doesn't cause any side effects.
D.It is tried only in Africa and Asia.
【小题2】When is the best time to give the drug to a woman?
A.Three hours before giving birth.
B.After finding bleeding can't be controlled.
C.Three hours after giving birth.
D.One hour after giving birth.
【小题3】What will researchers probably do next?

D.Get permission to use the drug.
【小题4】Which of the following places needs the drug most?

   Leon,12,was born without fingers on his left hand. That didn't stop him from being able to do many tasks. But Leon could not grasp more than one object at a time. So Leon's father,Paul,created a prosthesis(义肢),using a3-D printer. Now Leon has fingers that can open and close. "It was a do-it-yourself,father and son adventure," says Paul.

When Leon was a baby,his doctor advised his parents not to give him a prosthetic hand until he was in his early teens. "The doctor said Leon should first learn to get full use of the hand he was born with,"says Paul. As Leon got older,his father considered buying a prosthetic hand,which can cost as much as $30,000. Then Paul found a more affordable solution.

One day,Paul discovered a video on the Internet about Robohand,a prosthesis created by a 3--D printer. He downloaded the free instructions and called Robohand's creators for advice. They told him all he needed was a 3-D printer-which costs around $2,000 and some materials.

Luckily,Leon's school had recently bought a 3-D printer and it offered to help Paul build the hand for Leon. "We used a soccer shin pad(护胫),cardboard,and tape. They cost about $10,"says Paul.

With his new hand,Leon can do things better. "I can help my mom more,because now I can carry two grocery bags,"he says.

Leon's father has already built several hands for Leon. Leon helps design each one. He says there's one thing in particular that he wants to do with a future prosthesis. "The goal,"he tells the reporter from the local evening paper,"is to be able to tie my shoelaces(鞋带)".

【小题1】Why did Leon's doctor disapprove of his using a prosthesis in his childhood?
A.The prosthetic technology was underdeveloped then.
B.A prosthesis was very expensive at that time.
C.To learn to use the disabled hand was important.
D.The original hand could do many tasks.
【小题2】Leon's father managed to get Leon a new hand by _________.
A.collecting money on the Internet
B.buying a prosthetic hand
C.buying a 3-D printer
D.printing a hand
