Our listener question this week comes from Abdullahi Farah, who wants to know about the life and work of Doctor Benjamin Carson.
Doctor Carson is an internationally recognized doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the hospital for twenty-five years. At the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest doctors in the United States to hold that position. And he was the first African-American to have that position at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Ben Carson is known for his work as a brain surgeon for children. For example, in nineteen eighty-seven, he led a team of seventy doctors and nurses in an operation to separate two babies joined at the head. Earlier attempts by other surgeons on other babies had failed. Doctor Carson successfully performed the operation. Both babies were able to survive independently.
Doctor Carson has written four books. His first book, "Gifted Hands," tells the story of his life. Benjamin Carson was born in nineteen fifty-one in Detroit, Michigan.
As a boy, Ben was not a good student. In fact, he was the worst in his class. When his mother learned of his failing grades she asked her sons to read two library books every week. She limited the amount of time they watched television. And she told them to respect every person.
Ben Carson soon became the top student in his class. He went on to study at Yale University, one of the best universities in the country, and later to medical school at the University of Michigan.
Doctor Carson has received many awards and honors. Last year he received the nation"s highest civilian honor. Former President George W. Bush presented Benjamin Carson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a ceremony at the White House.

It was two years ago in winter when I went with my family to Engadine in Switzerland. The journey by car was pleasant until we reached the bottom of the Julier Pass(尤里尔隘口) when it began to snow.
Suddenly, the weather became very bad and soon we found ourselves in a storm. On the top of the pass, the visibility(能见度) was almost zero and we had to guess where the crash barrier(防撞护栏) was. It was terrible, the snow turned into ice and stuck to the windows despite the heating being set at full blast. Several times I had to get out of the car to clear the ice from the windshield(挡风玻璃).
But the way down towards Silvaplana was less stressful and we knew that we would arrive in paradise(乐园). It snowed without interruption the first day of our holidays and not being used to this natural weather, we found it simply magical to watch so much snow falling down on the mountains.
The following day, in this large, amazing area made up of frozen lakes and rivers between white mountains, we discovered a little hut next to the cross-country ski tracks, close to a farm. There was a fridge in this heated wooden cabin that contained milk, cheese and yoghurts for self-service. There was a list of prices for each item. You took what you wanted, then wrote down the total on a notebook what you had taken and put the money into an open box and if necessary took the change.
Where else could you find such trust? As I’ve already told you, Engadine is a paradise.
69.The author and his family were caught in a storm when they_______.
A. began the visit to Engadine B. were in Silvaplana
C. were passing the Julier Pass D. crashed into barriers
70. According to the passage, in the little hut________.
A. foods were offered to tourists for free B. tourists had to serve themselves
C. tourists had to enjoy their own food D. there were several persons on duty every day
71. What may impress the author most?
A. The white mountains. B. The Julier Pass.
C. The frozen lake . D. The little hut.

My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the 39 shelter to pick out a dog to keep her 40 . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye. 41 these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very 42 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 43 Grandma had a stroke(中风). Grandma could no longer
44 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were 45 companions.
After her stroke, it became a real 46 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because 47 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism(机械装置)using a rope and pulley(滑轮)was 48 from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was 49 Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us 50 Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember 51 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.
As the years passed, it was not 52 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap(打盹), Penny stayed by her side until she 53 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she 54 on the rug (垫子)beside the bed. If Grandma went into the 55 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her 56 to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her 57 companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s 58 were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.
