A few hours after my first mission, returning to Earth on the space shuttle Endeavour, I completed all of my medical tests after flight, met with NASA officials, and reunited with my family. Finally, I was alone in my office room in astronaut crew quarters at the Kennedy Space Center, exhausted and ready for bed. And I did what anyone does when they return to their hotel room on a business trip: I turned on the TV. The television news started up: Such and such had happened, people were shocked, blah blah blah. Sports scores. Silly commercials.
It didn’t take more than a minute before I had to turn it off. It felt like my body was rejecting all this input, just as it would reject an organ donation that had the wrong blood type. All of this noise was just completely foreign to who I was—or, more appropriately, who I had become. A few hours before, I had been orbiting Earth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound (深刻的) way.
The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this big-picture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life.
Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember my time in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly.
When I’m there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don’t seem that pressing. It goes that, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Living daily life down here on the planet is so much better with this attitude!
1.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word stomach in paragraph 2?
A.Access. B.Attend.
C.Accept. D.Afford.
2.What is the most important change to the writer?
A.He has a broader view of the world.
B.He doesn’t like watching TV any more.
C.He will always be most grateful for everything.
D.He can fly the most amazing machine by hands.
3.What attitude to life does the writer tend to have?
A.caged bird longs for clouds. B.Live in the present moment.
C.Let bygones be bygones. D.Time works great changes.

Peter and Cheryl Pitzer met in 1999. After training together, they fell in love and finally married in 2011. The Pitzers have been using their professional aviation skills to help people around the world regain sight. They are both volunteers for Orbis, a non-profit organization that turns airplanes into teaching hospitals and brings eye care and ophthalmology (眼科学) training to places around the world. The organization’s Flying Eye Hospital that the Pitzers fly together is an ophthalmic teaching hospital on board an MD-10 aircraft.
The Pitzers flew their first flight together with Orbis in November, a journey that took them from Dubai to Saudi Arabia and finally to Ghana, a country in West Africa. The couple stayed an extra week after landing the plane in order to be on the ground to help other Orbis volunteers treat people in need, and to train medical staff in the community. “There was a woman named Mary. When we met her on Monday she was almost completely blind and when we left she could see,” recalled Peter.
“They also did surgeries in the local hospitals with the local doctors and their equipment, and they provide continuing education afterwards,” Cheryl said of the team’s work in Ghana.“The idea is to leave the knowledge behind so that people will have access to proper eye care after the plane is gone.”
The couple say they are grateful to share an occupation that they love-one they can do together and that allows them to give back. “It's awesome to see so many people in poverty regain sight. Our work is worth it,” said Peter. “Cheryl and I have a great personal and working relationship. It's just an interesting and incredible way to give back.”
Cheryl noted the intense (紧张的) planning and coordination it takes to fly a major plane carrying a teaching hospital to remote locations. She said she and her husband have an advantage with that complex task because they “understand each other.”
1.What are Peter and Cheryl Pitzer by trade?
A.They are doctors. B.They are pilots.
C.They are physicians. D.They are teachers.
2.What do we know about Flying Eye Hospital?
A.It is a mobile teaching hospital.
B.It is a modern general hospital.
C.It is a private hospital in Dubai.
D.It is a famous hospital in Africa.
3.Flying Eye Hospital is intended for__________.
A.the wealthy B.the poor
C.the disabled D.the wounded
4.What does Peter think of his volunteer work?
A.It is tiring. B.It is boring.
C.It is rewarding. D.It is upsetting.

In 2010, after six years of training and further six years on the wards, I resigned from my job as a junior doctor. My parents still haven’t forgiven me.
Last year, the General Medical Council wrote to me to say they were taking my name off the medical register. It wasn’t exactly a huge shock, as I hadn’t practiced medicine in half a decade.
It was, however, excellent news for my spare room, as I cleared out box after box of old paperwork, tearing files up fast. One thing I did rescue from the jaws of death was my training portfolio (档案袋). All doctors are recommended to log their clinical experience, in what’s known as reflective practice. On looking through this portfolio for the first time in years, my reflective practice seemed to involve going up to my hospital on-call room and writing down anything remotely interesting that had happened that day.
Among the funny and the dull, I was reminded of the long hours and the huge impact being a. junior doctor had on my life. Reading back, it felt extreme and unreasonable in terms of what was expected of me, but at the time I’d just accepted it as part of the job. There were points where I wouldn’t have stepped back if an entry read “had to eat a helicopter today”.
Around the same time that I was reliving all this through my diaries, junior doctors in the here and now were coming under fire from politicians. I couldn’t help but feel doctors were struggling to get their side of the story across (probably because they were at work the whole time) and it struck me that the public weren’t hearing the truth about what it actually means to be a doctor. Rather than shrugging my shoulders and ignoring the evidence, I decided I had to do something to redress the balance.
So here they are: the diaries I kept during my time in the NHS, verruca’s and all. What it’s like working on the front line, the consequences in my personal life, and how, one terrible day, it all became too much for me. (Sorry for the spoiler of my book beforehand, but you still watched Titanic knowing how that was going to play out.)
Along the way, I’ll help you out with the medical terminology and provide a bit of context about what each job involved. Unlike being a junior doctor, I won’t just drop you in the deep end and expect you to know exactly what you’re doing.
1.Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2?
A.But I found it a hard job to pick up my practice of medicine.
B.But I found it an easy task to turn over a new leaf in the long term.
C.But I found it a simple act to get involved in self-reflection as a junior doctor.
D.But I found it a big deal on an emotional level to permanently close this chapter of my life.
2.The author cleared out box after box of old paperwork so fast because .
A.he was disappointed at being dismissed from the NHS
B.being removed from his position served his purpose

3.The phrase “had to eat a helicopter today” in Paragraph 4 indicates that a junior doctor has to .
A.work hard for promotion B.equip himself with practical skills
C.look through all the portfolios D.live up to some extreme expectations
4.Which of the following best explains “redress the balance” underlined in Paragraph 5?
A.Argue with politicians. B.Tell the full story of doctors.
C.Collect more solid evidence. D.Win the support of the public.
5.What does the author intend to do by writing this article?

6.What attitude does the author hold towards the NHS?
A.Critical. B.Appreciative

I will never forget the days when I met with my classmates. Early in the morning of our first school day, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know yet. I stood up look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.
She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”
“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized（迷住）listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“There is only one secret to staying young. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking round who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent of ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”
She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
1.Why did the lady want to hug the author?
A. Because she wanted to challenge her professor.
B. Because she wanted to break the ice.
C. Because she wanted to find a rich husband.
D. Because she wanted to have a college education.
2.Which of the following statements agrees with the text best?
A. The author enjoyed his experience of riding in the “time machine”.
B. The author and the lady soon became close friends.
C. Talented people can easily find opportunities.
D. Old people usually don’t fear death.
3.It can be inferred that Rose is ________.
A. a lively college student B. the author’s girlfriend
C. a young and innocent lady D. an encouraging song
4.What is the life lesson the author learned from his experience?
A. An idle youth, a needy age.
B. Learn wherever you are.
C. A faithful friend is hard to find.
D. A man is not old until regrets to take the place of dreams.
