As the hot tears rolled down her cheeks, I knew I had asked the wrong question. The ___21___reverberated(回蕩)in my mind: Widowed or divorced? I looked into the lady’s __22___, now dampened （使潮濕）with the __23___ tears my words had caused.

    “ Well, you could call me widowed,” she replied. “ My husband ___24___ five months ago .”

    “ I am so ____25___ ,” I mumbled. “ I need it to fill out your credit application.”

    “Don’t worry about it, honey,” she ____26___. “if I never thought about it, I would not ___27____ the love and the memories we shared. Even after 50 years of ___28____ ,each passing moment would bring a deeper meaning to the word love. Now, trust me, I know how ____29___ that sounds.

“ Have you ever been ____ 36___?” she  asked.

I couldn’t help but ___37____. “Ah, no.” I replied. “I’m only 16.”

“Sixteen?” she murmured. “That’s a great age, an age of ____38____. There’s so much worth learning.”

She then spoke in a whipser, “Never take anyone for granted. If you are in ____39___ with someone, let it known. Otherwise, life may pass you by. Don’t spend your life angry . The ridiculous arguments which you think are important won’t even be remembered in a short time.”

Then, she hugged me and thanked me for letting her talk. As she turned to walk away, I could see that tears still hung in her eyes, but the smile that lit her face was amazing.

Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. Most people buy medical insurance to help pay for medical care. The government only helps pay for some medical care for the old and the people who are on low incomes. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance have become an important political subject.

In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to a family doctor first. However, people in America sometimes go straight to an expert. Children are usually taken to a doctor who is an expert in the treatment of children. In Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will usually recommend a specialist, which will save more time and money both for the patients and the public fund（基金）.

In Britain, doctors do not go to people’s homes when they are ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in the doctor’s office. In a serious situation, people call for an ambulance. In America, hospitals must treat all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical insurance. The gov-ernment will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care.

The majority of Americans pay for medical care     .

A. through the national health care service   B. by buying medical insurance

C. with the help of the government

    D. by increasing their income

The author implies in Paragraph 2 that      .

    A. Americans don’t trust family doctors

    B. family doctors are helpless to the patients

    C. he is more in favor of the British medical care service

    D. sick children should go to family doctors first

In the States, seriously ill patients will      .

    A. be treated if they have an insurance

    B. go to see the doctor by making an appointment

    C. receive treatment even without insurance

D. normally go to see an expert for treatment

Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

    A. Health Care in the United States and Britain

    B. Types of Doctors in the United States

    C. Treatment of Sick Children in the United States

    D. Medical Insurance in the United States and Britain

Dear Jack,

  I’m middle school student. I’m writing to tell you my problem with my mother.  She is a doctor, whom works very hard. She is strict in me, but she is too busy with her work that she found little time to talk to me. I love her

and I do well in my studies, but I still feel a little of afraid of her because she loses her temper easy. I don’t know how to communicate with her. Maybe that’s why we have seldom sat down and exchanged our feeling and thoughts. I hope we can know more about each other and understand each other well. I do hope we’ll be closer. What can I do?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes!

                                                    Your sincerely,

                                                       Tom

To forgive may be great, but no one every said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible—and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.       

So how do you start the healing? Try following these steps:

Calm yourself.      You just take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.

Don??t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,      So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）.     Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear – even love. To gain the same feeling, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’ s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A．There are several ways to forgive and forget.

B．It can help reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more energetic.

C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

D．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.

E．Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused your pain.

F．Try to see things from the other person’s position.

G．To stop your anger, try a simple stress-management technique.

Only when you stay with           local people for a period of time will you have        better understanding of life here.

    A．a(chǎn); 不填  B．the; a   C．不填; the    D．the; the
