By May, 2012, my family was already distressed. My mother had breast cancer. And then an ulcer (溃疡) appeared on my tongue. It grew and wouldn't go away. My doctor suggested a physical examination and it was early June when I collected the reports.
“Your doctor will discuss the report with you, sir,” the nurse told me.
“You can tell me,” I said. “I can deal with it. My mother has cancer.”
“It's cancer. ”
The result hit me, and I had to idea how my life and I were about to change.
I shared the news with my family. I couldn't help crying. I thought about what I needed to do for my family and the everyday things as well. What was going to happen to my newspaper column(栏目)?I e-mailed the concerned editor about my situation. I also sent her a few columns to run while I was in treatment.
Two days later I had an operation, and I recovered quickly, but Mummy passed away soon. Except for the regular check-ups, life returned to normal. But a few months on, my doctor found cancer in my neck!
“What are my chances of survival?” I asked.
“Pick any number between one and hundred, ”the doctor replied.
I had another operation. This time my doctor said I also needed radiation therapy(化疗), which is very hard on a patient with cancer. But I was again not going to allow cancer to disturb my job and life.
I have been cancer-free for over three years now. I've been working, writing and columns and appearing on my TV shows. If the disease returns, I will be unhappy. But having experienced so much and enjoyed every day, I know I am also better equipped to deal with cancer or anything else.

I could remember watching black cracks in the earth snaking their way along the ground. A tree in our back yard was actually cut in half.

It was two years ago in winter when I went with my family to Engadine in Switzerland. The journey by car was pleasant until we reached the bottom of the Julier Pass(尤里尔隘口) when it began to snow.
Suddenly, the weather became very bad and soon we found ourselves in a storm. On the top of the pass, the visibility(能见度) was almost zero and we had to guess where the crash barrier(防撞护栏) was. It was terrible, the snow turned into ice and stuck to the windows despite the heating being set at full blast. Several times I had to get out of the car to clear the ice from the windshield(挡风玻璃).
But the way down towards Silvaplana was less stressful and we knew that we would arrive in paradise(乐园). It snowed without interruption the first day of our holidays and not being used to this natural weather, we found it simply magical to watch so much snow falling down on the mountains.
The following day, in this large, amazing area made up of frozen lakes and rivers between white mountains, we discovered a little hut next to the cross-country ski tracks, close to a farm. There was a fridge in this heated wooden cabin that contained milk, cheese and yoghurts for self-service. There was a list of prices for each item. You took what you wanted, then wrote down the total on a notebook what you had taken and put the money into an open box and if necessary took the change.
Where else could you find such trust? As I’ve already told you, Engadine is a paradise.
69.The author and his family were caught in a storm when they_______.
A. began the visit to Engadine B. were in Silvaplana
