A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.

The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits. Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep his company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (靜脈滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.

But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times. When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “ I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?” But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.

When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “ The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.

D. He asked the doctor to help the girl finish her study.

Companies that employ workers have an interest in keeping the workplace safe.Job-related injuries are something that responsible employers avoid.They take the time and use company resources to make sure that the people who come to work each day are safe.

Not only does this make good sense from a moral standpoint,but it also makes good financial sense.If a worker is injured on the job,it costs the company in terms of lost mam tours,increased insurance costs,worker’s compensation premiums（賠償金）,and legal posts.

Productivity is lost when other workers have to stop doing their jobs to deal with the situation.Even after the injured worker has been sent home or taken to hospital,other employees may be unfocused or need to take time off from work in the result of the incident.

When a workplace is safe,workers feel more comfortable and confident when they are in that environment. Productivity gets a promotion,and profits follow suit.Absence also drops when employers take steps to carry out an effective safety program.

Investing in a good safety program brings with it other benefits too.When employees feel safe in the workplace and absence rates are kept down,they can focus on serving the company’s customers properly.Many companies offer produces or services that are similar to those that other companies carry or provide.Customers will decide which companies they want to deal with based on which one they feel provides the best customer service.Increased absence means longer wait times and customers are quite prepared to move on to another company they feel will be able to help them in a more timely manner if they are not getting the level of attention that they deserve.

Everyone in the workplace has a duty and a responsibility to do whatever they can to keep the working environment safe.Managers should deal with employee concerns about safely issues in an appropriate manner.

1.What bad effect does an incident have according to the text?

A. Workers may refuse to work again.

B. The quality of products may decline.

C. Workers may be hard to concentrate.

D. The company may close down.

2.What do we know about the safe workplace form Paragraph 4?

A. It can inspire workers’ creativity.

B. It can bring workers a higher pay.

C. It can put an end to worker’ absence.

D. It can bring the employer more money.

3.On what condition will the customers move on to another company according to the text?

A. If they can’t get a safer product.

B. If they have to wait for a long time to get deserved attention.

C. If they feel the company can’t provide a safer workplace for them.

D. If they find the company provides the some products as others offer.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A. How Employees Can Protect Themselves

B. Companies Are Ensuring Employees’ Safety

C. Why Safety Is Important in the Workplace

D. How to Create a Safer Workplace

If asked whether there is anyone I want to apologize to, I will say Pete. He is my best friend at school and he has been my roommates for two years. He is very generous. Whenever his parents come to see him for snacks and fruits, he will share it with others. However, I made a unforgivable mistake the other day when I thought he had used with my lunch box without my permission. I shout at him, and I was very rudely.
