Today, however, we needn"t worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind
of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not
many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.
Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to
be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or
arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.
Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas
became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time
laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn"t seem to feel pain when they were
using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.
Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well"s teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he
didn"t know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with
pain when his tooth was being pulled out.
Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this
terrible event.

I was going to have my examination the next day."When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn"t answer,
In fact I dared not.
The clock struck twelve."Oh, dear!" I cried."Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!" We pupils
are the most unhappy creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so
hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate (绝望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go
on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, "Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to
work hard afterwards, Amen." My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later,
with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

angrily. She walked away with her little heart 8 . On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the
door.
That night, while I lay 9 in bed, a voice in my deep heart said,"While 10 with a stranger, you are so
polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily 11 . Why are there some flowers by the door? Those
are the flowers she brought for you. She 12 them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue. She stood
quietly in order to give you a 13 , and you never saw the 14 in her eyes."
By this time, I felt very 15 and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪下) by her 16 ,
"Wake up, little girl, wake up," I said, "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She smiled, "Yes, because I

She said,"Oh, Mom, that"s okay. I love you 19 ." I hugged her and said, "Daughter, I love you too, and I

| Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It"s nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated." "Oh, you"re such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?" "It"s not the shortest way," I answered quickly. "Oh, I"m in no hurry," she said. "I"m on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don"t have any family left. The doctor says I don"t have very long." I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she"d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At dawn, she suddenly said, "I"m tired. Let"s go now." We drove in silence to the address she had given me. "How much do I owe you?" she asked. "Nothing." I said. "You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy." | |||||||
