I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close to animals，it wasn’t remarkable(不平常的)when I decided to become a vet(兽医)．Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science subjects. So after the college entrance examination I found myself at a veterinary college，training to look after animals in all kinds of situations. I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I could find cures for animal diseases.
Much to my surprise，I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course. This is an area of animal medicine where a vet’s work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of human diseases. I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine. As we know，many infectious diseases come from animals—including SARS and bird flu.
Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors. They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS. They were also the first to identify various kinds of viruses. Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses. When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine my chosen career.
After graduation，I applied for a job in public health. Soon I found myself concerned with the problem of bird flu. This is an illness that attacks birds，but humans can catch the disease if they are in close contact with infected birds. Though the job is dangerous，it makes me proud that vets and other animal disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these unknown human diseases

When I was thirty-one, I was in 39 car accident in which my legs were seriously injured．The 40 told me that their goal was to get me to walk "__41 " but that I would never run again．Stubborn and _42_ , however, I set out to rebuild my leg muscles to support my knees through my own personalized 43 program． The fact was that it took me two years to learn how to walk and nine and a half years to run again．
While on one of my runs, a 44 thought entered my mind: what 45 I could run the LA Marathon?

Finally, my hard efforts 52 ．I crossed the finish line of the LA Marathon, strong and solid．
I’m often asked why I run, to which I always 53 ,"I run because I can．" I 54 myself that the aches and pains I experience while training and racing are 55 , compared to the suffering those whom I admire must bear．This is why I run．

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that 21 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 23 the fullest.
Recently, John lost his 24 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 25 . One day John took out a folded piece of 26 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 27 up some drawers at home.
It was a 28 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写，乱涂) about her dream guy. 29 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 30 only had a few months left to live.
It was 31 a beautiful recipe (处方，食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 33 reads. After that she turned 34 the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 35 with and loved most in her life. “ 36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 37 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to 38 as Janet was to him. I need to 39 what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know 40 I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

A person named Bernard Jackson today is a free man, but he has many bitter memories. He spent five years in prison after a jury (陪审团)wrongly convicted (判处…有罪) him of raping two women. At Jackson’s trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the time of the crime, he was convicted anyway. Why? The jury believed the testimony(证词)of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the real criminal.
Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. For instance, witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a group of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces. The number of people in the group, and whether it is a person or a photograph, may also affect a witness’s decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races. The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.
Many people believe that police officers are more reliable than ordinary people. Psychologists decided to test this idea, and they discovered that it is not true. Two psychologists showed a film of crimes to both police officers and civilians. The psychologists found no difference between the police and the civilians in correctly remembering the details of the crimes.
Despite all the possibilities for inaccuracy, courts cannot omit eyewitness testimony from a trial. American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve(决定)court cases. Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime, such as rape. Furthermore, eyewitness testimony is often correct. Although people do sometimes make mistakes, and convict innocent people, more importantly, eyewitness testimony has rightly convicted a larger number of guilty people.
American courts depend on the ability of the twelve jurors, and not the judges, to determine the accuracy of the witness’s testimony. It is their responsibility to decide if a certain witness could actually see, hear and remember what happened.
小题1:Bernard Jackson was found guilty and sentenced 5 years’ prison because________.| A．the victims insisted that he was the attacker | | B．he admitted the crime of raping two women | | C．the police discovered evidence leading to his guilt | | D．the eyewitness proved the victims’ testimony |
小题2: The following statements may be the reasons for why sometimes the eyewitness’ testimony is not accurate EXCEPT ________.| A．the eyewitness is confused by the police’s questions | | B．the eyewitness is shown photos of many similar faces | | C．the eyewitness lacks the professional help from police | | D．the eyewitness can’t identify people of other races clearly. |
小题3:An inaccurate eyewitness testimony may lead to________.| A．the misunderstanding of the case | | B．the disbelief in the court | | C．the disrespect for the eyewitness | | D．the conviction of an innocent person |
小题4:Eyewitness testimony is important because ___________.| A．it can be relied on to detect criminals in all cases. | | B．it is sometimes the only way to resolve court cases. | | C．it is sometimes the only clue for police investigation. | | D．it is more reliable than physical evidences to a crime. |
小题5: According to the text, we can infer that ________.| A．eyewitness testimony is valuable, though sometimes incorrect. | | B．police identification is more reliable than that of the ordinary people | | C．crime victims often fail to give positive identification of the suspects | | D．the jury relies on the judge than the eyewitness for a decision |

When Mike told me he was leaving I felt like a vase which had just broken. There were pieces of me all over the tidy floor. He kept talking, telling me why he was leaving, 31 it was for the best, I could do better, it was his 32 and not mine. I had heard it before many times and yet somehow was still hurt; perhaps one cannot 33 such pain.
He left and I tried to 34 my life. I filled the kettle (水壶), put it on to boil, took out my old red cup and 35 the coffee powder falling into the bone china. Somehow when the kettle piped its finishing warning, I 36 not to hear it. That’s what Mike’s leaving had been like, sudden and with a(n) 37 end. I would rather just 38 in uncertainty than have things finished. I laughed at myself. Just about a cup of coffee, I must be getting 39 .
And yet it was a young woman who 40 back at me from the mirror, a young woman full of 41 and hope, a young woman with bright eyes just waiting to see the world. 42 , there are more important things. More important than 43 , I insist to myself firmly. The lid goes back on the coffee just like closing on the whole Mike experience.
He didn’t 44 my dreams as I feared that night. 45 , I am flying far across fields and woods, 46 on those below me. I fly free until I meet another bird who flies with me in perfect harmony. I realize with some 47 that there is a bird out there for me, there is another person, not necessarily a lover perhaps just a 48 , but there is someone out there who is my soul mate. I think about being a broken 49 again and realize that I have gathered myself back together, what Mike has is 50 a little part of my time in earth, a little understanding of my physical being. He has merely, a little piece of me.
