The moment I was diagnosed with cancer, I decided that I would not let this “beast” win easily. I had no idea 1. my treatment would be like, and I surely didn’t think social media would be a way for me to conquer this “beast”. However, by sharing2.(feel) on the Internet, I am able to remind myself, and my viewers, that everything is going to be okay. Their words are a big part of what helped me stay3.(hope). Besides, I have made several “cancer friends” so far, and we’re determined to fight this battle together.

I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends．However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life. I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life.

As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him．He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity. His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him.

During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice （安养院） came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.

Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others. You often can't learn these important attributes(属性) in the lap of luxury(优裕舒适的环境), and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.

1.Which word can best describe the man's initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?

A. Satisfied　　　　　　　　 B. Surprised

C. Terrified　　　　　　　　 D. Confused

2.What did the man do after he first learned of his illness?

A. He was operated on immediately

B. He retired from his job

C. He researched cancer treatments

D. He felt sad, doing nothing

3.What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease?

A. His family and friends

B. The care from others

C. His doctors’ encouragement

D. His belief in humanity

4.What did the author learn from his friend’s story?

A. Giving more respect to the family and friends

B. Extending life as possible

C. Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury

D. Getting comfort from God

5.What does the author mainly want to tell?

A. All people will face death, and thus, we must prepare for it spiritually

B. Our characters can be strengthened by such an unpleasant situation

C. Families provide the best support system during such a crisis

D. People should help those who have got serious illness

Father was diagnosed with brain cancer during the second half of my senior year. It is a time when all the big events in a girl’s life are happening. However, though in poor condition, father managed to be present at every occasion. His doctor said that by focusing on all my future events, it helped my dad live longer. I guess so because nine days after my high school graduation, my father died.

For the next week after his funeral, I didn’t leave my room or even to shower. Finally, my mom stormed in and said, “Megan, get up. I have something for you to read.” My father’s doctor had sent my mother a letter. It contained the typical “I am sorry for your loss” sentences. But this letter was far from typical. I could physically see the pain this loss had caused him. In his letter, he wrote about how my father inspired him to change his life and the way he worked. He expressed his desire to become a person like my father, who cared more for the people around him and put everyone else first.

After I finished reading it, I decided to live my life. I went outside and got a job as a summer camp advisor. I worked from dawn to dark every day that summer. I gave everything I had to the kids and slowly they helped to heal(治愈) me without even realizing what they were doing.

My summer mirrored parts of the life my father led in his last few days. I had spent the summer months giving myself to children. It was not the senior summer I had always imagined. It wasn’t all about me. I had learned the final lesson my father was teaching me, that in order to lead a rich and happy life, you must learn how to give yourself to others. By helping them you really are helping yourself.

Cherish the Moments with Our Parents

There was something in an elderly woman’s behavior that caught my eye．Unsure of her steps，the woman moved slowly，along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter．The daughter was rolling her eyes and checking her watch every few seconds．

The older woman left the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf．Without hesitation，I walked over and asked if I could help her find something．The woman smiled at me and showed me a title on a piece of paper．

Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman，I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it．Looking back，I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment．Her movements reminded me of my own mother，who had passed away the previous Christmas．

As we walked，the woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation．We found the movie and she told me it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her son’s age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had．Maybe，she said he could enjoy it with his own young children．

I accompanied her to the queue at the cashier．As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag，I went over to the younger woman，who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store．

“Is that your mom？”I asked．

I had expected her to tell me it was none of my business．But she rolled her eyes and said，“Yeah．”There was annoyance in her reply．Still watching the mother，I said，“Mind some advice？”

“Go ahead，”said the daughter．

I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing“Cherish her，”I said，“When she’s gone，it’s the little moments that’ll come back to you．Moments like this．I know．”

It was true．I missed my mom still and remembered with sadness the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life miserable．

The elderly woman moved slowly back to her daughter．Together they made their way toward the store’s exit．They stood there for a moment，side by side，watching the rush of the holiday current．Then the daughter glanced over and slowly placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her home．

1.The daughter checked her watch frequently because she________．

A. had to wait for a friend

B. wanted to buy a new watch

C. was impatient to shop with her mom

D. was uninterested in watching the DVD

2.From Paragraphs 3and 4we know that________．

A. the elderly woman hadn’t seen the movie before

B. the elderly woman found her son’s favorite movie

C. the author and the eldly woman hurried to find the DVD

D. the author and the elderly woman enjoyed each other’s company

3.We can learn from the passage that________．

A. the author had treated her mom very well

B. the elderly woman looked like the author’s mom

C. the author scolded the daughter for her behavior

D. the daughter changed her attitude toward her mom．

A professor I have worked pretty closely with has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. It has been devastating(悲惨的) for his family and heartbreaking for his students.

What made him extraordinary was not only that he was a rising star. He had only recently collected the highest honors for young researchers at the White House. We truly admire him—as someone put it, ‘He always has a smile and a kind word for everyone.” It is very hard to find someone who is extremely intelligent should be so nice a human being.

I decided that we needed him to know our attitude and also how we are all praying for his recovery. I bought him a simple card which read, ‘Healing thoughts and wishes coming your way.” I met all the students he worked closely with and got them to sign on it. Each student in his laboratory signed and also added a message. ‘We love you so much”, ‘We miss you! We need you back here—recover soon”… These were some of the messages that were written. Most of the students were really glad we were doing this and said it was a very good idea to give it to him.

He is still undergoing intense treatment, and along with his family is trying his best to stay optimistic and hopeful. I didn’t see a trace of self-pity or sadness when I met him last week. Instead, he paid attention to every word of my presentation and asked me several questions related to my work. I was amazed at how much he gave his 100% on that day in spite of being in pain because of chemotherapy( 化疗)，he did not know if he even had another month to live. “I am trying to focus on staying positive, hoping to be back this summer,” he said.

Needless to say, I saw an expression of joy and hope on his face as he opened the card. He said he was truly touched to see the messages from the students he worked closely with.

There is one thing I learnt from last week: It is so important to tell people how much they mean to us and what an inspiration they are before it becomes too late. My professor, in spite of being too sick to teach classes, has managed to continue being a great teacher, introducing his last valuable message to us.

1.The professor was admired because _______.

A. he was very intelligent            B. he had won many honors

C. he had noble personalities         D. he was very determined

2.What do the underlined words “our attitude” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Our worry about his health.        B. Our pray for his health.

C. Our admiration for him.          D. Our pity for him.

3. When the writer visited the professor at hospital, what surprised him was that the professor ________.

A. was suffering form great pain          B. was still very confident

C. didn’t know he would die soon         D. still cared for others

4. Of the following statements, the writer may agree that _________.

A. the professor loves his job very much

B. few students supported the writer’s decision at first

C. the professor will go back to teach this summer

D. the professor often feels sorry for himself

5.According to the last paragraph, what did the author learn?

A. One should remain optimistic all the time.

B. It is important to let people know about their importance.

C. Teachers should have a positive influence on their students.

D. It is never too late to make a right decision.
