My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to 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 war 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.

1.Where has the doctor been in the past few years?

A．Some countries where he could set up clinics.

B．Some African countries where flu broke out.

C．The places where the earthquakes happened.

D．The places that the horrible disasters struck.

2.How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?

A．Tired and troublesome. B．Busy and risky.

C．Meaningful and helpful D．Frightening and depressing.

3.The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________.

A．who are robbed, killed, or wounded

B．who suffer from flu in movable clinics

C．who like to take adventures

D．who have lost homes because of disasters.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．the doctor’s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries

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.

After about three months my mom was coming home. My dad and my sister went to pick my mom up from the airport. It was very far and my mom had a lot of bags. My younger sister and I waited for them at home. We waited and waited, and then it was late, but they weren’t back. Then we got a call from our dad. He said that there was a big snowstorm in New York and the plane couldn’t leave until the storm was over, so our mum would be late. When they finally got home, I was really happy. My mum had a lot of gifts for us, but she was the best one.

Children should be allowed to get angry. I remember many years ago, when I was visiting my sister in Australia, and I told my oldest son that he wasn’t allowed to do something he really wanted to do. He thought about it for a minute and said, “Mom, I’m very angry with you.” I replied, “That’s OK, darling, it’s what you do with your anger.” I then asked him if he wanted to talk to me about it but he was too angry to talk to me. Then he stormed off(愤然离开).

My sister looked at me surprisingly. Now she has a son the same age as mine and she said angrily, “How can you allow your child to be angry with you? If my son learns that from you, I will never forgive you.”

Then it was hard for me to stay with her, I ended up leaving earlier. Why shouldn’t my son have the right(权利) to tell me when I have made him angry? If he can’t tell me then how can he tell others in his life?

Children need to be able to express how they feel. We need to teach them ways to do this in a right way instead of saying nothing. I want them to tell me. Bottling up anger is not healthy for anyone and usually makes things worse.

A. Fight.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Get angry.

2.How did the writer’s sister feel when she saw the son was angry with his mother?

3.Why did the writer end up leaving earlier when visiting her sister?

A. Because her sister was angry with her and she felt it hard to stay there.

Nearly five years ago, and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes(圣女果)in our back garden. Since then—for all these years—we had been allowing tomatoes to self-seed where they please. As result, the plants are growing anywhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and tasty. There are so many that we often share them with our neighbors. Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problems. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at no cost!

(A)

After living and teaching in China for 10 months, my wife and I returned to California to visit our children and friends. Many of them asked what we liked most about China. The friendly people, the wonderful food, and the beautiful sights were at the top of our list. Then one night, after yet another restaurant dinner with friends, I realized that there was one other thing that I really liked about China: No tipping.

Tipping is a subject that has long interested me.　　

In America, the three kinds of services that require tipping are waiters/waitresses, taxidrivers, and barbers. The standard tip is now between 15 and 20 per cent of the bill, depending on the quality of service. Why these three particular services deserve this special treatment is a mystery to me. Why am I supposed to tip a waiter for bring me food when I don’t need to tip the flight attendant on an airplane for doing the same thing? Why do I need to tip a taxi drive, but not the bus driver? Why am I expected to tip the barber for cutting my hair but not the dentist for fixing my teeth? I have been a teacher for 39 years. No one has ever tipped me after a particularly successful class or lecture.

　The whole concept of tipping doesn't make any sense. I have heard that there are some expensive restaurants in major cities in the US where the restaurant does not give the waiters any salary at all due to the large amounts of the tips.

　The tipping problem in many European countries is solved by adding a 15 per cent to the bill. I prefer the Chinese solution: No tipping at all.

When I was visiting the US this summer, I went out to dinner several times with friends. Having spent 10 month in China not even thinking about tipping, I found it irritating to have to spend extra money on the meal -- especially when the amount of the tip would every often buy a meal in China. While I understand why China, as a developing nation, has　 gradually accepted many Western customary practices, I hope the Chinese are wise enough to never start the unnecessary practice of　 tipping.

1.What made the writer realize that he liked no tipping most about China ?

A. Talking with his friends .　　 B. Returning to California.

C. Giving a large amount of tips.　　 D. Having dinner in a restaurant.

2.If the bill is＄200 in an European restaurant, how much should a customer pay as a tip?

A. ＄20　　 B. ＄30　　 C. ＄50　　 D. ＄100

3.What’s the writers opinion on tipping in the US?

A. Wise　　 B. Necessary　　 C. Reasonable　　 D. Annoying

4.Which of the sentences is true?

A. All kinds of services need tipping in the US .　　 B. The writer hoped China would never start tipping .

C. The writers whole family lived in China for 10 months.　　 D. China has never accepted any western customary practices

5.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Please stop tipping.　　 B. My experiences in china

C. There is no tipping in china　　 D. Tipping in different countries.
