I had to work. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our
waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating (约会)-a dozen long-stemmed red roses.
As I was cleaning my office, I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I
noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband-a
prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient. She told me she wasn"t allowed to visit her husband in prison
and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boy"s father sit in the waiting room with
her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment (约见). Since my schedule wasn"t full, I agreed.
After all, it was Christmas Eve.
A short time later, her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as
bodyguards. The woman"s tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside
her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the
prisoner back to my office. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly
could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.
At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed
back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact that he hadn"t been able
to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.
I"ll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed
roses. I"m not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in
having the opportunity to share in this special moment.
B. A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present.
C. She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas.
D. She was at work with a light heart.
B. giving her husband a chance to make his escape
C. having her husband examined
D. getting a chance for her family to get together
B. to be separated from his family
C. to be comfortable
D. to become a prisoner
B. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
C. The prisoner was treated with mercy.
D. Whoever breaks the law should be punished.

| Three Frenchmen were sitting together to talk about their experience in England. The first said, "I once heard someone shout, "Look out." I put my head out of a window and a bucketful of water fell on me. It seems that "Look out" may mean "don"t look out"."

| A friend once told me a beautiful story of how ordinary people found a simple way to help others. My friend was 1 the beautiful view on the top of Casper Mountain, a 2 place for visitors to overlook (俯视) Casper, Wyoming. Even in the summer it was 3 on top of the mountain, and on this day he 4 a young woman who clearly had no coat. She 5 as she wrapped (用……缠绕) her arms around herself. Then he saw an older man 6 up to the young woman, take off his sweater and place it on her 7 . The man said, "Here, keep the sweater. The 8 is even better when you"re warm." She smiled her 9 and wrapped the warm sweater 10 her shoulders as the man went away. Before the woman left, she found a middle-aged woman who was also 11 cold and she handed her the sweater. " 12 it," she said. "The view is even better when you"re warm." My friend was 13 in that, so he kept his eyes on the sweater. He noticed that before the current (现在 的) 14 of the sweater left, she came near to a trembling (颤抖的) man, 15 it to him and said, "Here...keep the sweater. The view is 16 better when you"re warm." "That happened a couple of years ago," my friend said. "And as far as I know, that 17 is still on top of Casper Mountain, going from one person to another." Ordinary people can find a way to 18 others. Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones 19 us daily. Like somebody else likes to say: Nobody can help everybody, 20 everybody can help somebody! | |||
