Everybody has had at least one experience from which he knows the meaning of life．This time, which took place several years ago, but seems as if it just happened．

On an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's dress and picked out a beautiful skirt．"Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago．She never wore it．She was saving it for a special occasion．" he said．I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral (葬礼) of my sister, after her unexpected death．

He took the shirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral．Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion．Every day you're alive is a special occasion．"

I'm thinking about his words, and they've changed the way I live my life．I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings．Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer．"Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their importance on my vocabulary．If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing,I want to see and hear and do it now．

Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold hack or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives．Every morning when I open my eyes．I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift．So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life．

A．She waited for a special occasion to wear it on．

B．She wanted to keep it for someone else．

C．She saved it till she grew up．

D．She would give it to herself as a gift some day．

Most people will experience at least one wrong medical diagnosis in their lifetime, resulting in health problems, psychological suffering and financial cost, according to a new report. Because diagnostic errors are generally discovered in retrospect(回顾), researchers said more work needs to be done to improve medical teams and find ways to avoid errors that can change people’s life in the distant future.

“Diagnosis is a collective effort that often involves a team of health care professionals---from primary care physicians to nurses.” said John Ball, chair of the committee which wrote the report. “The type of a single physician observing a patient case and deciding a diagnosis is not always accurate, and a diagnostic errors, we have to look more broadly at the entire process of how a diagnosis is made.”

The researcher, said there are not enough data on diagnostic errors, and efforts to improve diagnosis and reduce errors have not been frequent. The medical culture discourages transparency and makes it more difficult to correct them. The blame lies in cooperation and communication between members of medical teams treating patients, patients themselves, and their families. Besides this, researchers found the healthcare system is not designed for the collaboration needed in the diagnostic process and that diagnosis will continue to worsen if new ideas are not put forward.

The committee recommended more information, from electronic health records to test results, be made more easily available to families and caregivers, to help them better learn and understand what is going on with their health. Creating an environment for patients to question a diagnosis or add information about their condition could also help better influence diagnosis.

Most significantly, the researchers said methods need to be established to make communication between doctors and patients easier. Doctors are not encouraged or paid to communicate with patients as much as they should be.

1.It can be inferred from the new report that 　　　　 .

A. diagnostic errors have a great influence on people

B. new ways are found to avoid diagnostic errors

C. nobody can avoid those diagnostic errors

D. diagnostic errors are difficult to be found

2.Why does the medical culture make the correction of diagnostic errors so difficult?

A. For lack of advanced technological equipment

B. For lack of strict rules of managing the medial environment

C. For lack of enough professional knowledge about medicinal treatment

D. For lack of cooperation and communication between physicians, patients and their families

3.What does Para. 4 mainly talk about?

A. Researches on the diagnostic process

B. New ways to better protect patients

C. Advice on reducing diagnostic errors

D. Communication between patients and doctors

4.Why is communication between doctors and patients not much?

A. Because of the different belief

B. Because of the medical situation

C. Because of being short of money

D. Because of the current rules

5.The passage most probably comes from 　　　 .

A. a hospital advertisement　　 B. a science book

C. a medical magazine　　 D. a research report
