Last year , my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病).
It is still hard to write that word.   16    is even harder to say it out loud, because it feels like that will make it more real. Although I wish I could either change the diagnosis   17
deny it altogether, this is what we’re facing. Every time we think about what her tiny body is doing to her, it   18   (break) our heart a little bit more. This is my worst nightmare.
But my husband and I are saying many thanks to God that her disease is the 19 (much)
common form of all the childhood blood cancers, which comes with an 85~90% cure rate. We believe that she is in that 90%, but we know there’s still a long road ahead   20   us.
21   (thank), she’s not in any pain, other than a little soreness from a recent procedure. And since she’s 4, she doesn’t quite understand   22    is happening at all. She is in good spirits,    23     helps us cope more than we realized it would. It also helps that she is in such    24    great hospital, specifically for children. They have done a great job, saving my daughter’s life and   25   (make) us go through the hard time as well.

Eleven years ago, the world as I knew it ended. My husband of 19 years was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Over the course of seven months，Bill went from beating me silly at tennis to needing my help to go to the bathroom. It was the best seven months of my life.
Maybe I don’t actually mean that. But it was certainly the time when I felt most alive. I discovered that the minor complaint of an annoying coworker, or a flat tire pales in comparison with the beauty of sincere laughter, or the smells of a bakery. There were moments of joy, laughter, and tenderness. After Bill’s diagnosis and brain surgery, I found clinical trials and talked to doctors in Texas, Pennsylvania, and New York. It gave me a sense of purpose.
In the latter days, being Bill’s caregiver also meant being fully present for as many moments of every day as possible. During his last weekend, we had dinner together. Later, a relative visited. I noticed that she’d changed her appearance, and not in a good way. It was the kind of thought I’d usually keep to myself. Just then, Bill voiced exactly what I’d been thinking, in that truthful way he had, and I found myself laughing out loud.
I thought I could look after this man forever. However, he would be dead in four days.
Eleven years later, I haven’t started a foundation to cure cancer. I haven’t left the news business to get a medical degree. But every day, I try to again be the person I became during those seven months. I try to be a little less judgmental, a little more forgiving and generous. I am a better person for having been Bill’s caregiver. It was his last, best gift to me.
1.What is true about her husband?
A. He was a bad tennis player.
B. He felt weak because of his brain surgery.
C. He had to talk to doctors in different cities.
D. He had to be accompanied mostly during his illness.
2.What does the underlined word “pales” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Turns whiter than usual.　　 B. Seems less important.
C. Becomes more significant.　　 D. Proves unreasonable.
3.The story of their relative in Paragraph 4 is used to show 　　　　 .
A. being a caregiver requires much time and effort
B. one needs to speak out his own thoughts truthfully
C. change in appearance is a necessary part of one’s life
D. life needs a sense of humor even faced with hardships
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Best Time of My Life　　 B. The Greatest Gift to Me
C. My Loving Husband　　 D. A Caregiver’s Hard Work

Dear Dr.Servaas,
I was diagnosed with histoplasrnosis（组织胞浆菌病）30 years ago ．At that time， my doctor told me that it was lung fungus（真菌）that could affect my eyesight.This has happened·Can it affect other organs of the body？
F．Buongiorne
Delta Junction，Arkansas，
Most people have no symptoms resulting from the lung infection，explains histo expert Dr.L.Joseph Wheat，when symptoms do develop，they are usually mild and will disappear without treatment
In some cases，however，histo can spread from the lungs and cause more serious　 problems．
“Histo is more severe in persons with diseases that reduce thcir immunity or who are receiving immunosuppressive（免疫抑制）medications,”says Dr.Wheat，"In such cases，histo can spread from lungs to other parts of the body．Patients with this type of histoplasmosis usually have constant fever，sweats，and weight loss·Excellent tests are available to diagnose this type of histo，and the treatment is highly effective·”
As mentioned by our Arkansas reader，eye problems accompanied by vision loss have been reported long after the first infection．
"Histo is thought by some to be a cause of spots on the back of the eye，called ‘histo spots’，”notes Dr·Wheat．“These injuries cause no problems in some patients， while in others they cause visual loss．There is no proof that histo causes these spots， however，as the organism is not found in the injured parts，and treatment for histo is　 not effective for the eye spots．”
People catch histoplasmosis by breathing extremely small spores（孢子）of the　 histoplasma fungus into their lungs·This fungus is commonly found in areas polluted by　 bird or bat droppings such as caves，chicken cages，barns（谷仓），and under bridges．It will spread through the air during construction or whenever plowing，sweeping，or digging disturbs the soil．
1.What’s the problem with F．Buongiorne？
A.He has recently been diagnosed with his to．
B．He is having difficulty in breathing．
C．He is worried about his health．
D．He has become totally blind．
2.Which of the following is Dr．Wheat’s opinion about“histo"？
A.The disease is equally harmful to all people．
B．The disease will make people put on weight．
C．The disease won’t cause serious problems and no medicine is effective for it·
D．The disease doesn’t，t necessarily have a serious effect on every patient with it·
3.How is“histo" related to“histo spots"？
A."Histo spots" may not be caused by“histo"．
B．Patients with“histo" will have“histo spots"．
C．"Histo spots" will cause visual loss to all patients．
D．“Histo spots" can be cured by the same medicine as cures“histd
4.We can infer from the passage that＿　　　．
A.“histo" spreads through water
B．"histo" originates from animals
C．you may have the disease by eating affected chicken
D．workers in a close office are most likely to have“histo"

Last year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”
That was all he said. “See what happens?” Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that? At that point. I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying, “Oh no! We are going to crash!’’ There were sighs of hopelessness and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.
The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.
All too often, people stop trying to achieve their goals just because they don’t have a guaranteed (有保证的) result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens. While I do prefer planning better than “see what happens” when it comes to flying, it really isn’t such a bad idea for life.
If your effort is to build a business then get up in the air and see what happens! Don’t give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will!
If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as your think. It could be fun!
1.How did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?
A. Disappointed.　　 B. Anxious.
C. Curious.　　　　 D. Relieved.
2.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means 　　　　 .
A. to think carefully before you make friends
B. to start to fly first to see what will happen in the sky
C. to make an effort even if the result is uncertain
D. to get up from the chair and greet somebody
3.What can be the best title for the passage?
A. We Will See What Happens
B. I Survived an Adventurous Flight
C. The Pilot Risked Our Lives
D. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking Chances
