Last week I was invited to a doctor"s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a
patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn"t long to
1 , but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.
"Frank!" I cried in astonishment. He couldn"t 2 , as I knew, but all the time 3 his foot against mine.
My 4 raced back more than thirty years to the 5 days of 1941, when I was a student in London.
The 6 was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the
regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.
7 wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers got to 8 each other very well. Frank West 9 me because
he wasn"t 10 , not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had 11 of a mind than a baby
has. His " 12 " consisted of rough sounds-sounds of pleasure or anger and 13 more. Mrs. West, then about
75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank 14 on her entirely. He needed
all the 15 of a baby.
One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She
16 nearly everything she owned.
When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the 17 ones. So before we 18 that morning, I
stood beside Frank and 19 my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took
a pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot
against mine. After that, his 20 to me was always the same. |

kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in
Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade
Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids:"I"m going to Afghanistan". And a few weeks later,
international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care.
In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving
27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement,
a sense of purpose, and my depression went away. In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the
tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs.
Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to
flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000
originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water
and food were also serious problems."Adventures or not?" I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the
end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would
visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I think about the moment many times during my "adventures". I didn"t know how predictive those words
would be. But I know that she is still with me. | | 1. Where has the doctor been in the past few years? | A. Some countries where he could set up clinics.
B. Some African countries where flu broke out.
C. The places where the earthquakes happened.
D. The places that the horrible disasters struck. | | 2. How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan? | A. Tired and troublesome.
B. Busy and risky.
C. Meaningful and helpful
D. Frightening and depressing. | | 3. The underlined word "refugees" means people ______. | A. who are robbed, killed, or wounded
B. who suffer from flu in movable clinics
C. who like to take adventures
D. who have lost homes because of disasters. | | 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? | A. the doctor"s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.
B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.
C. The doctor"s adventures made him understand the love of his wife.
D. With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life. | | 阅读理解。 | A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and loved the boy
very much. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.
He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and put it back into the cupboard in the bathroom.
However, his wife, busy in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened
to contain a kind of medicine for adults with poisonous and side effects. When the child broke down, the
mother hurried him to the hospital. But he finally died. The mother was shocked. She was terrified how she
was going to face her husband.
When the desperate father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and voiced
just five words. The husband just said "I am with you, Darling". The husband"s totally unexpected reaction is
a positive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault
with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.
No one is to be blamed. she had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was comfort and
sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If evervone can look at life with this kind of viewpoint, there would be much fewer problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears and you will find things are actually
not as difficult as you think. Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether
in a relationshlp, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some warmth in human
relationship. | | 1. The uncapped medical bottle was not put back into the cupboard because _____. | [ ] | A. the husband was careless
