About a week later, she 46  me to sit with her for a while. I held her hand and she told me she was 47  and thought she might not see her kids again. I tried to let her know that her 48  so far had been great. It was 10:30 pm, almost time for the 49  of my work. I told her I had to hand in my 50  and that I would come back to her room.

Then I 51  with my friends. It wasn’t until I had got home that I realized I had forgotten to keep my promise. “That’s OK,” I thought, “I will spend 52  time with her tomorrow.”

The next day I was told that she had 53  at midnight. She wanted company and I let her down. She left the world quietly. If I had stayed in her room, would she be home surrounded by her 54  right now? I would never know. What I do know is this: I have 55  every patient’s request since that night.

Many of us invest valuable time，energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.

Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK --- but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (组成部分).Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days，and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. It sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness(留意) --- time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal，how to get from A to B，or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.

Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions. Second，don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions.

Many of us know about Russia’s Take Baikal from our textbook, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lie Baikal. But over the years, the world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.

Each March, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. The 26-mile（41, 84 kilometers）journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.

It’s believed that Lake Baikal’s beauty is incomparable. Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has particularly clear waters. This means that its ice is almost perfectly transparent（透明的）. Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space.

The scenery might be beautiful, but strong winds blast（侵袭）acorns the lake and forcible can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them and that running in such condition is a test of their limits.

“When you are in such an environment, you don’t have cars around and don’t have the noise around. I think these extreme races push you to be alone” Alicia Badalona, a 64-year-old runner from the US said.

The place offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon The finishing line is visible（可见的）from the start, but the endless while offers no progress markers. Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping sallies（自拍）and just ignore the runners.

For runners, the absence of spectators（观众）makes the race more challenging, because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself.” Veronique Messina. a French runner, told the Telegraph.

1.What has kept lake Baikal being a focus over the years？

A.A famous Chinese singer. B.A popular song in Russian.

C.The Baikal ice marathon. D.The coldness of Lake Baikal.

2.What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to？

A.The fact that the waters of Lake Baikal are clear.

B.The belief that Lake Baikal is known for its waters.

C.The reason why Lake Baikal is popular with runners.

D.The popularity that clear waters in Lake Baikal enjoy.

3.Why do runners sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon？

A.They prefer to get close to nature.

B.They like competition with others.

C.They want to draw much attention.

D.They intend to test their own limits.

4.Why is Veronique Messina mentioned at last?

A.To prove the power of the runners for the Baikal Ice Marathon.

B.To show that runners must fight against themselves in the Marathon.

C.To explain that independence is important for marathon runners.

D.To indieato the necessity of paying attention co marathon runners.
