"A child is dying---out of breath!" I had just begun my working day in the city, when these words came through the radio of the police car I was driving. I turned on the red lights and siren(警笛)and drove off as fast as I could. "Just my luck!" I thought. I didn"t know this city well and my first call of the day was a life-and-death sudden happening, several kilometers away.
I got to the house. A mother, filled with fear, handed me her baby, his face already blue. Was I too late? Dear me!
I did what had been taught to do in such a serious condition. A small thing flew out of the baby"s mouth on to the floor. It was a button. Thank heaven! The holes in it let a little air through.
A doctor rushed into the room. He had with him an oxygen bag.
The child began to cry at the top of his voice, burned red and started to look for his mother. He was angry but was saved.

One winter term during college, I took a history class to fulfill a requirement.
The professor was a 1 fellow with red hair. He would walk shyly into the room wearing his hooded (带帽的) winter coat, once not even 2 the hood during the lecture. He was terribly nervous in class and lowered his head 3 looking up through his glasses at his students.
So I 4 a little game for myself. I would try to find something in his lecture to ask him an intelligent question about, 5 me to pay attention rather than letting my eyes close. He was obviously 6 to have a question to answer. In fact, his answers were always interesting.
I continued to do this every day of the course and found myself actually enjoying the subject. The professor seemed to become a bit more 7 and some of the other students even 8 from time to time. My little game had saved me from being bored, as it was 9 to do. And, I learned quite a bit about ancient world history. Except for all of his strange __10 , he was indeed quite an expert in his field.
On the last day of his class, we gathered our 11 and headed out the door. The shy, red-haired professor 12 directly in front of me, with obvious efforts, as I reached the door, and put out his hand. He said, “I want to thank you for making this class so interesting.” As he shook my hand and 13 for the first time, I was so surprised. To me, it had been a pleasant way to 14 the time. I had no idea that all of my question asking had any 15 on him or the others at all.
Each of us, through the things we say and do, can have a great effect not just on our own experiences, but those of others.

“Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”
“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分别) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (问候) me in the same way.
小题1:How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank?| A．He was told that Frank was in the hospital. | | B．He was invited to study Frank’s illness. | | C．Frank greeted him in a special way. | | D．Frank’s name was written on the door. |
小题2:When and where did Dr. P first meet Frank?| A．At the R Hospital about ten days before. | | B．In an air-raid shelter during the war. | | C．In Mrs. West’s house in 1941. | | D．In London after the West’s’ house was destroyed. |
小题3:The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were __________.| A．those who suffered from illness. | | B．those who were killed during the war | | C．those who slept in the air-raid shelter. | | D．those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids |
小题4:Dr. P placed his foot against Fran’s before he left the shelter.| A．to find out if Frank could put on his shoes | | B．to be friendly towards Frank | | C．to see if Frank’s feet were normal | | D．to teach Frank to greet people in a special way |
小题5:Why did Dr P say that Mrs West had to be a strong, able woman?| A．She was over 75. | | B．She needed all the attention of a baby. | | C．She had to give care and thought to her son as to a baby. | | D．She lost nearly everything in the war. |

I thought my luck had run out at the end of the summer holiday. It was not the 31 of the new term that did it, but the 32 military training. My 33 nightmare(噩梦) had finally come true.
The weather was 34 hot when we were training. Sweat dropped from every part of my body. I 35 as if my mouth was going to catch fire. 36 was the only thing I could think about. It was the first time in my life that I have ever really felt 37 .
However, we had to stand completely 38 all day. The drill-master(教官) were very strict with us. They only 39 us to sit directly on the ground for a few minutes. My heels ached and I had a blister(水泡) on my 40 .
Believe me, this was not the most 41 part. What I couldn’t 42 most of all was the smell of the toilets. It left such a deep impression on me that I can almost smell it right now.I guess most of the other students 43 the same experience that I had. I often thought of giving up and going back home. 44 , I didn’t.
One day, our PE teacher came to watch our 45 for a while. Then he 46 to join the national flag squad(队). “You movement is the best of all,” he praised me. It was so 47 ! I almost couldn’t believe my ears. It was a great honor to be chosen for the squad.
From that day on, I worked much harder than before because I knew I was going to 48 the national flag. Every Monday, thousands of eyes would be 49 on me. Now military training has finished and I have become a flag protector in my school. Every time I raise the flag, I know all my hard work has 50 .
