I work in a busy Emergency Room( E. R. ) .　 This weekend, I had a patient who was very nervousand paranoid.

　　　 After looking at his chart, I saw that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism. There is an immediate prejudice against substance abuse in my E. R. One -we do not have a detox(戒酒) facility.The people seeking treatment for addiction are sometimes looked down on as being less worthy of treatment　 than　 other　 serious　 physical　 " ailments" .

　　　 At first glance, I found out that the man was now somewhere in his mid-thirties, was very weak and had a generally aggressive character. He could not sit still and had a cough. He had not had a drink in four days. His hands were shaking and there was a scared look in his eyes.

He told me that he began drinking about age 11 when his mother supplied him with it. He had tried to quit many times before but had not been able to." So .　 what's different this time ?"I asked.

　　　 "Because I'm starting to be mean to the people I love, but now I don't want to be.　 I ca:n see that　 I'm changing into something else. "

　　　 That answer helped change my attitude toward him. I could see the pain behind his eyes. Behind the appearance, there was a terrified person whose goodness was being claimed by the alcohol. He　 was desperate for help, but not so sure that his condition could be changed.

I, thank this man for showing me that the goodness is dressed in all sorts of disguises(伪装) . Sometimes we have to undress it. It's worth doing. My patient was admitted to the hospital for help ,despite us not having a detox facility.

1. What does the underlined word " ailments" me

A.　 build　　　　 B.　 energy　　　　　 C. illness　　　　　　　　　　 D.　 ability

2. How long has the man been drinking?

A. 20 years　　　 B.　 11 years　　　　 C.　 Over 30 years　　　　　 D.　 Over 20 years

3.From the passage we know that___ .

A. The patient was refused mainly for the hospital's lack of equipment

B. The patient once didn't want to treat the people he loved kindly

C. The patient was strong and brave at first glance

D. The patient once succeeded in giving up drinking alcohol

4.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?

A. Where there is a will, there's a way.

B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

C.　 Never judge a book by its cover.

D. Good is rewarded with good.

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I received the phone call．

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just41 in with severe burns on his face，neck and arms．We have called for a（n）42 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle．” Seattle was 350 miles from his college，so we knew immediately this was43 ．

The doctor described the44 ，which caused the burns．At 6 am，our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment．When they 45  the charcoal（木炭），it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline（petrol）．The flames46 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head．

47 ，one of the boys was quick-minded，grasped my son，and48 him on the grass．While it saved his life，it was not in 49 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars（伤疤）．

After he50 from the treatments，the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery（整容）for 6 months51 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling．So，he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns．

When I was a child, my mother told my sister，who had a 10-inch, very52__ scar on her arm，“Nancy，if you ignore the scar，other people will ignore it．It does not mean they will not53 it，but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you．’’

I54 this wisdom on to my son．He took my advice to 55 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive．

By the end of the six-month waiting period，he decided that the scars did not56 , so he made the57 to give up any plastic surgery．

We all have “scars” that we believe58 people to keep away from us．And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different，or dressed differently，people would like us better．

But you see，people will only judge you by your looks，or your clothes，if you are judging yourself by these same59 standards．Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value60 yourself，and your beauty will shine through．

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I didn't think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.

“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully.

“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.

But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems，things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches，but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches， but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.

Something was wrong，but I didn't say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded，Take your time; it's warm in here.”

On a hunch (直觉)，I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address— they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.

I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The littlest one was pointing at the television and saying something loudly and excitedly to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the Christmas tree.

I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action，much as we do when there's a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.

We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day，so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day， our team worked to meet the needs, and exceed the expectations, of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day. Later，as the family walked to the door to leave, the four year -old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angels today.”

1.What did the author learn from the family s descriptions of presenting problems?

A.Two of the children had headaches.

B.One of the children had earaches.

C.The mother pretended to be coughing.

D.The whole family were seriously ill.

2.The author made sure that the family were homeless by ______.

A.asking them some questions

B.listening to their introduction

C.observing their facial expressions

D.checking their registration information

3.After knowing about the homeless family， the nurses ______.

A.gave them a medical treatment

B.provided them with a big dinner

C.prepared a Christmas tree for them

D.held a big Christmas party for them

4.What can be the best title for the text?
