kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in
Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.
On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade
Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids:"I"m going to Afghanistan". And a few weeks later,
international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care.
In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving
27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement,
a sense of purpose, and my depression went away. In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the
tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs.
Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to
flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000
originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water
and food were also serious problems."Adventures or not?" I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the
end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would
visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I think about the moment many times during my "adventures". I didn"t know how predictive those words
would be. But I know that she is still with me.
B. Some African countries where flu broke out.
C. The places where the earthquakes happened.
D. The places that the horrible disasters struck.
B. Busy and risky.
C. Meaningful and helpful
D. Frightening and depressing.
B. who suffer from flu in movable clinics
C. who like to take adventures
D. who have lost homes because of disasters.
B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.
C. The doctor"s adventures made him understand the love of his wife.
D. With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life.

Public schools in Washington, D.C. provide students with musical instruments for free. When something goes wrong with an instrument, Charles West and Larry Jernigan do the repairs. Both men approach their work with a passion. For them, it"s important that students have a joyful experience with music. The two have worked together for almost 20 years. This year alone, they"ve fixed about 450 instruments. Both men are musicians and music lovers, so learning to do repairs came naturally. "I have been a musician all my life." says West. "I played in an orchestra here in the city. I majored in music in college. I played in an army band." Jernigan"s musical interests are varied. "I was formerly trained in the piano and guitar. The alto sax, and the flute, I picked up while working here." In addition to fixing instruments, the two also go to schools to instruct teachers and students on how to make minor repairs on their own. West believes if children start early and stay involved with music, it enriches other areas of their lives. "I see that in other kids. I see it in myself. I have seen it hundreds of times and it works," he says. "They learn teamwork. They learn patience and respect." But West has concerns about the future of music in the electronic age. "This instant age has taken away from the sit-down, the patience. And to learn to play an instrument, it takes patience, it takes diligence, it takes time." Being able to enjoy music on the job is one of the benefits of the job. Both men agree their best rewards are the students" performances. | |||||||||||||||||
