It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn"t healed (痊愈) from a(n) 1 injury. I had 2 whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, 3 for the 3,000-meter run. " Ready … set …" The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed 4 me. I felt 5 as I fell farther and farther behind. " Hooray!" shouted the crowd. It was the loudest 6 I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps (圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. " Maybe I should 7 ," I thought as I moved on. 8 , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran 9 and decided not to 10 in track next year. It wouldn"t be worth it, 11 my foot did heal. When I finished, I heard a cheer- 12 than the one I"d heard earlier. I turned around and 13 , the boys were preparing for their race." They must be cheering for the boys." I was leaving 14 several girls came up to me. " Wow, you"ve got courage!" one of them told me. " Courage? I just 15 a race!" I thought. " I would have given up on the first lap," said another girl."

The statement read:"Mm. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (视觉模糊) ever since her medical test this morning." I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems. This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting ( 用......代替) St. John"s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes. My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She" s probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn"t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone. What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why. Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose (诊断), treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too. | 1. The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew _____. | A. Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests B. the patient was being unreasonable C. the nurse was joking with him D. Mrs. Jones would call him | 2. What has caused Mrs. Jones" eye problem? | A. Wrong glasses. B. Medical checkup. C. Her own imagination. D. Chatting on the Internet. | 3. The underlined words "clouded her judgment" in the last paragraph probably mean _____. | A. made her less trustful toward the doctor B. put her in control of her own feelings C. made her less able to think clearly D. put her in a dangerous situation | 完形填空。 | My sister and I grew up in a little village in England.

It was 1944, but I can remember my mother"s words as if it were yesterday:" Kerrel, I don"t want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him." AIDS wasn"t something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father"s other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him. We couldn"t afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn"t even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher"s words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage. I did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself. I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret. I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless. I called a woman at the nonprofit
National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life. I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn"t want to call attention to AIDS. I do. | | 完形填空。 | "It was all his own idea," says Pat, the wife of California high school football coach Bob Peters.

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week ago, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn"t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I"d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside," Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye."Is this what you"re looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn"t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn"t be a bad place as long as people were welling to help each other. | |
