Before my daughter, Evelyn, was born, I eagerly expected her first year of life. I imagined celebrating every milestone --- bonding with her as a newborn, seeing her smile for the first time, hearing her say her first word. 1 didn't think of feeding tubes, long hospital stays or an organ transplant( 移植). For Evelyn, the first year included all and more.

Evelyn came into this world at just 34 weeks, weighing less than 3 pounds. Genetic testing revealed she had Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder that can damage the liver(肝脏),heart and other organs. Soon, we received the news that baby Evelyn needed a liver transplant. Our family moved nearer to UPMC Children's Hospial of Pittsburgh so that we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.

When Evelyn was added to the organ donation wait list, I was under the liver allocation policy in place at that time,which was map-based. This policy lacks any special consideration for transplant candidates.We were told it would likely take three months. Just then, a new policy for liver allocation was tried out.Under the new system, the sickest child patients get first priority(优先).The new policy was only in effect for a litle over a week, but in that period, Evelyn received her liver transplant. Had it been just one week earler or later, we would not have received the call.

As Evelyn recovers from her transplant, we are grateful for the change.I am also sad, because the new policy was short-lived. That means another mom like me might not receive that phone call with good news.

Other children should have the same opportunity as Evelyn to live healthy, happy lives. When it comes to liver transplant policy, we can and must do better for children.

1.What probably happened to Evelyn shorly after she was born?

A.She failed to give a smile.

B.She had a serious liver failure.

C.She said her first word quickly.

D.She suffered from a heart attack.

2.Why did the author's family move nearer to the hospital?

A.To save time.

B.To have money.

C.To see a doctor.

D.To get first priority.

3.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence?

A.Evelyn is healthy now.

B.They waited too long.

C.They were one week earlier.

D.Her daughter is fortunate.

4.What does the author want to express in the last pargraph?

A.We must guarantee kids have healthy livers.

B.Kids should have chances of a liver transplant.

C.The sickest kids should get liver transplants first.

D.The old policy lacks special consideration for kids.

When I spent Christmas away from home in Europe for the first time, I was only 14 and it was absolutely horrific. I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy:

First, you are advised to search you area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.

Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24^th.

Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to pretend as if the holiday doesn’t exist, you are just going to make it worse.

Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some unique traditions in their home. Little by little it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new.

Find clubs, churches or organizations that are from your home country. Chances are that they will have some celebration with some of your traditions which you can join in.

Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake.

Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (装饰品) for your tree.

Embrace new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them.

If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while appreciating the new ones. Keep an open mind and find a compromise between old and new traditons.

1.The author spent his 14^th Christmas ___________.

A. unpleasantly in the US                        B. joyfully in the US

C. unpleasantly in Europe                       D. joyfully in Europe

2.Why does the author advise people to hunt in some special stores?

A. Because people can buy some discounted goods there.

B. Because people can feel less homesick there.

C. Because it’s an old Christmas tradition.

D. Because they offer goods from the hometown of the people.

3.Which of the following statements does the author agree with?

A. It’s great for children to have some unique traditions.

B. People should join in all kinds of clubs to celebrate Christmas.

C. People should give up traditions which are stupid in other people’s eyes.

D. It is popular to celebrate Christmas on the 24^th around the world.

4.The author suggests giving a call to parents on Christmas mainly to __________.

A. express love to them                      B. follow the tradition

C. ask for some ornaments                        D. set an example for children
