Connecting with Patients
Dr. Paris often treats several generations of a family over many years. “He’s seen us through two births, one operation, multiple earaches, a broken wrist and a recovery from a serious traffic crash,” says Jill Farrow, a 43-year-old lawyer whose first visit to Dr. Paris was as a teenager. During the birth of her younger son, Farrow began bleeding badly. Dr. Paris managed to solve the problem in a delicate procedure. “Twenty years ago, she probably would have died,” he says. Today, when he performs school sports physical examinations for the Farrow boys, 10 and 11, he is always reminded that lives are changed forever by doctors just doing their jobs.
To be a mix of country doc and somewhat adventurer, the 55-year-old family physician moved to Hailey after completing his residency(醫(yī)生實(shí)習(xí)期). He hoped to practice medicine there and ski at nearby Sun Valley. Unfortunately, the only job opening was for an emergency-room doctor in Missoula, Montana, 300 miles away. Dr. Paris took it. "I'd ski all day and then drive all night to be in Missoula for a 48-hour shift," he recalls. "I'm lucky to be alive." Knowing he couldn't keep up with his eight-hour commute(通勤), he began taking flying lessons.
In 1981, Dr. Paris joined a small medical practice in Hailey, a former mining town with a population at the time of 2,109. As Hailey grew in the shadow of Sun Valley's booming popularity, Dr. Paris's own practice expanded to seven physicians, including his wife, Kathryn Woods, who is also a family doctor. They met in 1986 at a certification exam in Denver when, in a room full of men in stodgy suits, Woods arrived wearing a Lycra biking outfit and carrying the front wheel of her bicycle (which she couldn't lock up outside). Dr. Paris asked her out on the spot. In 1989, they married.
小題1:What Jill Farrow says is to indicate ________.
A.how weak the bodies of her family
B.how hard it is to be a doctor
C.how brilliant the physician’s skill is
D.how easy it is to deal with such problems
小題2:Dr. Paris often reminds himself that ________.
A.lives of people should not always stay the same
B.people can rely on themselves to change their life
C.doctors should change their own life
D.it is the duty of a doctor to heal the patients
小題3:Why did Dr. Paris move to Hailey?
A.Because he can be a doctor and an adventurer there.
B.Because he has to finish his residency there.
C.Because his children are fond of skiing at nearby Sun Valley.
D.Because he has to be an emergency-room doctor there.
小題4:We can infer the doctor got married probably at the age of ________.
A.27.B.37.C.17.D.47.
小題5:This passage is intended to ________.
A.introduce Dr. Paris
B.praise the doctor’s excellent medical art
C.describe the doctor’s adventurous experience
D.tell the doctor’s love affairs

小題1:C
小題2:D
小題3:A
小題4:B
小題5:A

小題1:推理判斷題。第一段Jill Farrow說的話是在贊揚(yáng)Dr. Paris醫(yī)術(shù)高明。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段he is always reminded that lives are changed forever by doctors just doing their job.得出答案。Dr, Paris總是在提醒自己,醫(yī)生通過自己的工作可以改變病人的生命,這是醫(yī)生的使命。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段He hoped to practice medicine there and ski…..得出,醫(yī)生搬往Hailey是希望在那里既能實(shí)踐自己的醫(yī)術(shù),有能在附近的太陽峽谷滑雪探險(xiǎn)。
小題4:推理判斷題。今年55歲的Dr. Paris于1989年結(jié)婚,當(dāng)時他應(yīng)該是37歲。
小題5:概括大意題。本文主要介紹Paris這位名醫(yī),其他選項(xiàng)一概片面。

At five he was collecting old newspapers to make money. And when he was 15 he signed his schoolmates up to start a baby-sitting circle.
Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a £ 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer. He set up Peter Blackborn Ltd last year to bring out a new, color term-planner that now students all over the UK are using.

While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money.
"Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves," he says "I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college."

Now let’s talk about doing well by doing good—many people who have ever been volunteers for the community find their place in relative jobs or even make their way to be corporate(團(tuán)體的)leaders.
Consider the case of Kimberly Mulcahy. Throughout her career, Mulcahy has actively volunteered in her community, profession and industry. Though she put in long hours as Vice President at a Fortune 500 company, she also found time to professional and community organizations.
Then last year, the unexpected thing happened. The company where she’d worked for more than 20 years was bought out and she was laid off.
On hearing the news, those who she served were quick not only to offer her support—but actual jobs! In the end, Mulcahy was hired by a PR agency—she used to work as a director of her industry association. And she brought with her several accounts based on relationships she had formed through volunteering.
Volunteering was a godsend(天賜之物)to Todd, who has been a mid-level manager at the same company for many years. After he was out of work, he felt old and disappointed. But Todd knew he needed a change. Todd became involved in community service. He joined his town’s volunteer fire department and was soon appointed to the finance committee.
Sometimes volunteering helps you bring passion to your work, other times it can turn your life’s passion into your work. Cape Cod Baseball League President Judy Scarafile is a registered pharmacist(藥劑師)whose love of the game led her to volunteered as league publicist(宣傳員), secretary and deputy commissioner woman to hold the top post.
Whether you are to enter the workforce, build your resume, or follow your passion, volunteering is good for the soul and the career.
小題1: By saying “doing well by doing good” in Paragraph 1, the author wants to_____.
A.encourage us just to do it, and it will be better
B.encourage us to try as hard as possible
C.tell us not to give up
D.tell us that people who have volunteered their way into

American agricultural scientist Norman Borlaug has received the Congressional Gold Medal.
Norman Borlaug is often called "the man who saved a billion lives" and "the father of the Green Revolution."
His work helped fight starvation in India and Pakistan in the nineteen sixties. He won the nineteen seventy Nobel Peace Prize.
He, ninety-three years old ,still works as an adviser at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico.
In accepting the medal, he urged Congress and the administration to increase development assistance for agriculture. He said the world needs better and more technology to deal with hunger. In his words: "Hunger and poverty and misery are very fertile soils into which to plant all kinds of 'isms,' including terrorism."  
In the 1940s, Norman Borlaug and a team developed highly productive and disease-resistant wheat for farmers in Mexico. About twenty years later, millions of people in India and Pakistan were in danger from grain shortages.
The improved wheat from Mexico also grew well in South Asia, combined with changes in growing methods. Norman Borlaug persuaded farmers to use more fertilizers and pesticide chemicals and to water their crops with irrigation systems. Also many a crop can be planted in the same field. The results were big production gains that many believe saved as many as a billion lives.
President Bush noted that hunger still affects much of the developing world. He said the most fitting honor for Norman Borlaug is to lead a second Green Revolution that feeds the world. Yet his support for new agricultural technologies has been criticized at times over the years.
Some researchers worry about the effects of industrial methods of modern farming.
Population researcher Paul Ehrlich, for example, wrote a nineteen sixty-eight book called
"The Population Bomb." He predicted that population growth would cause widespread harm to the planet.
But now, some people are saying there should be greater attention and respect for Norman Borlaug. A major theme of his work is that people can deal with difficulties and that technology can improve their lives.
小題1:Norman Borlaug is called “the Father of the Green Revolution” mainly lies in that_______.
A.he developed highly productive wheat to help fight against hunger
B.he made a great contribution to fighting against terrorism and hunger
C.he developed a kind of wheat that is environmentally friendly
D.he sticks to the belief that technology can improve our lives.
小題2:The best title for the passage would be________.
A.Norman Borlaug, the Father of the Green Revolution
B.Golden Moments----a Long-life Struggle
C.Hunger------a Serious Problem That Affects the Developing World.
D.Norman Borlaug, the Savior of the Developing Country.
小題3:Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?
A.Despite his age, Norman Borlaug still works for the improvement in agriculture
B.Norman Borlaug thinks that hunger and poverty tend to breed crimes and evil
C.Without Norman Borlaug’s work, hunger problem wouldn’t completely be settled now
D.Paul Ehrlich thinks that population growth would cause widespread harm to the planet.
小題4:It can be inferred from the passage that_________.
A.Congress and the administration are to blame for hunger and poverty
B.not all people are in favor of his new agricultural technologies
C.people can defeat terrorists by improving modern farming
D.the Congressional Gold Medal is the highest civilian honor given by Congress.
