题型:不详难度:来源:
Connecting with Patients Dr. Paris often treats several generations of a family over many years. “He’s seen us through two births, one operation, multiple earaches, a broken wrist and a recovery from a serious traffic crash,” says Jill Farrow, a 43-year-old lawyer whose first visit to Dr. Paris was as a teenager. During the birth of her younger son, Farrow began bleeding badly. Dr. Paris managed to solve the problem in a delicate procedure. “Twenty years ago, she probably would have died,” he says. Today, when he performs school sports physical examinations for the Farrow boys, 10 and 11, he is always reminded that lives are changed forever by doctors just doing their jobs. To be a mix of country doc and somewhat adventurer, the 55-year-old family physician moved to Hailey after completing his residency(医生实习期). He hoped to practice medicine there and ski at nearby Sun Valley. Unfortunately, the only job opening was for an emergency-room doctor in Missoula, Montana, 300 miles away. Dr. Paris took it. "I"d ski all day and then drive all night to be in Missoula for a 48-hour shift," he recalls. "I"m lucky to be alive." Knowing he couldn"t keep up with his eight-hour commute(通勤), he began taking flying lessons. In 1981, Dr. Paris joined a small medical practice in Hailey, a former mining town with a population at the time of 2,109. As Hailey grew in the shadow of Sun Valley"s booming popularity, Dr. Paris"s own practice expanded to seven physicians, including his wife, Kathryn Woods, who is also a family doctor. They met in 1986 at a certification exam in Denver when, in a room full of men in stodgy suits, Woods arrived wearing a Lycra biking outfit and carrying the front wheel of her bicycle (which she couldn"t lock up outside). Dr. Paris asked her out on the spot. In 1989, they married. 小题1:What Jill Farrow says is to indicate ________.A.how weak the bodies of her family | B.how hard it is to be a doctor | C.how brilliant the physician’s skill is | D.how easy it is to deal with such problems | 小题2:Dr. Paris often reminds himself that ________.A.lives of people should not always stay the same | B.people can rely on themselves to change their life | C.doctors should change their own life | D.it is the duty of a doctor to heal the patients | 小题3:Why did Dr. Paris move to Hailey?A.Because he can be a doctor and an adventurer there. | B.Because he has to finish his residency there. | C.Because his children are fond of skiing at nearby Sun Valley. | D.Because he has to be an emergency-room doctor there. | 小题4:We can infer the doctor got married probably at the age of ________.小题5:This passage is intended to ________.A.introduce Dr. Paris | B.praise the doctor’s excellent medical art | C.describe the doctor’s adventurous experience | D.tell the doctor’s love affairs |

Help or Not Dear editor, During last year"s winter holiday, I went shopping with my grandmother. We saw several beggars. Some of them were disabled, which made me feel sad. Among them were old people, young people and even children! When I wanted to help them, my grandmother stopped me. She told me they were not worth showing mercy to because some beggars cheated people out of their money. Should I help them? Yours, Mary from Guangzhou Dear Mary, While I understand your grandmother’s point of view, I think that just because some beggars have cheated people, this doesn’t mean you should never help any beggars. Showing mercy to people who are not as fortunate as us is one of the kindest things we can do. While some beggars may use dishonest means to get money, most beggars will not. Even those who use dishonest means are probably hungry for food and feel they have no choice but to cheat people. It is important to be careful for your own safety. But if you want to help, you don’t necessarily have to give it to beggars in the street. Another way you can help is by donating money to the China Charity Federation. Visit its website at: www. china charity. cn.net. 18.From the grandmother’s point of view, we can learn that ________. A. she has never helped the beggars. B. she believes not all beggars are honest C. she has surely been cheated by some beggars D. she shows no pity for the poor 19. Mary felt sad for _______. A. her grandmother B. the disabled beggars C. the old people D. herself 20. The editor suggests that Mary should _______. A. have her own mind B. follow her grandmother C. do something for those unfortunate D. help the China Charity Federation 21. The underlined word “donating” probably means _______. A. give out of kindness B. put into a business C. earn through an organization D. give in return for some kindness |
From poor beginnings to most expensive player ZINEDINE Zidane,who dreams of leading France to its second World Cup title in a row next month,has always preferred to express himself with a football rather than with words.

Before he was 10 years old,it was obvious that he could become a great footballer.He was offered his first professional contract(合同)when he was just 20.Now,at the age of 29,he has already picked up two World Player of the year awards.

When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play. For Weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines .But once on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator"s(解说者的)part for the play ,and asked me to change roles. Though I didn"t tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard. It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches." I think I am going to dig up all these weeds, "she said. "From now on, we"ll have only roses in this garden." "But I like dandelions," I protested. "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!" My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn"t it? "she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is true of people, too, "she added. When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a beautiful narrator, ”she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed. 1.The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because _______.
