Recently I invited a homeless man to have lun...

Once Dr. Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases（案例， 病例） with his  students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems．His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live．

Dr.: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．

"Are you getting food you like?"

The patient said nothing．

"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"

The answer was no．

The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft．

"If you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"

"Yes, yes," the patient said．

The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious．Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received．

Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn't getting food he could eat．One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"

"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn't carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"

"I would probably insist," the student said．

"Very well," the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won't be-easy, but I can help you．Meanwhile, let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it．Or he'll be killed by hunger．By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him．"

Three weeks later．Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable．

1.The patient had no desire to eat because __________________.

2.According to the passage, we can conclude that __________________.

3.Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?

4.What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?

At the end of a party，he invited her to have coffee with him．In a nice coffee shop，he was too nervous to say anything，and she felt uncomfortable，thinking，“Please let me go home．’’

Suddenly he asked the waiter，“Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee．’’

Everybody，stared at him—so strange! His face turned red，but，still，he put the salt in his coffee and drank it．

She asked him curiously，“Why do you have this hobby?”

He replied，“When I was a little boy，I was living near the sea．I liked playing in the sea，and I could feel the taste of the sea，just like the taste of the salty coffee．Now every time I have the salty coffee，I always think of my childhood．I miss my hometown and my parents so much．’’

She was deeply touched．A man who can tell out his-homesickness must be a man who loves home，cares about home，and has responsibility for home．

They continued to date．She found that actually he was such a good person，but she almost missed him!

Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story went just like every beautiful love story．．．And，every time she made coffee for him，she put some salt in the coffee．

After 40 years，he passed away，leaving her a letter which said，“My dearest，please forgive my whole life lie．This was the only lie I told to you—the salty coffee．

“Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time．Actually I wanted some sugar，but I said salt．It was hard for me to change，so I just went ahead．

“I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life，but I was too afraid to do that，as I have promised not to lie to you for anything．

“Now I'm dying，I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth：I don’t like the salty coffee．What a strange bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee in my whole life!…”

Her tears made the letter totally wet．Someday，someone asked her，“What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet.” she replied．

1.After ordering some salt for his coffee，the young man must have felt________．

A．excited                    B．satisfied       C．embarrassed     D．displeased

2.Why did the man have salty coffee all his life?

A．She meant to leave him on their first date。

B．She thought of him every now and then．

C．She nearly misunderstood his explanation．

D．She could hardly believe this simple fact．
