One cold, rainy night in 1979, staying on the deck of the nuclear attack submarine(核攻擊潛艇) USS Birmingham entering Hampton Roads Harbor, a soldier who was called Jeff Harris was suddenly hit by a huge wave that took away his ship’s ball cap.
Months later, while walking along Chesapeake Boulevard beach in Hampton, Will Miller, a Vietnam veteran(退伍軍人) and Navy(海軍) commander, happened to find Harris’ cap which was half-buried in the sand then. Knowing how important a ship’s cap was to its owner, Miller saved the hat, hoping one day to find its owner. The cap was packed away for years but recently appeared again at Miller’s home in Florida.
“It suddenly fell out of a box onto my computer keyboard, right in front of me,” said Miller. “I guessed it was telling me, ‘It’s time to get me home.’”
An extensive Internet search led Miller to a USS Birmingham website and finally to Harris. The two sent e-mails back and forth, and one night Miller’s phone rang.
“This is Jeff Harris,” the voice on the phone said. “You have my hat!”
The two sailors talked for almost half an hour, telling sea stories to each other and thinking of the common relationship between seamen.”
“Most non-seagoing people wouldn’t understand how much a sailor likes his hat,” Miller said. “Your hat protects you from sun, wind, salt and cold, and when you lose it, especially one with your ship’s name on it, it’s a big thing. I’m delighted to get it back to Jeff.”
【小題1】What is the main idea of the story?

A.A sailor looked for his hat for years.
B.Hats are important for sailors.
C.A sailor reunited with his hat years after losing it.
D.Friendship was based on a hat.
【小題2】Jeff Harris’s hat dropped off into the sea because of ______.
A.a(chǎn) sudden waveB.his carelessness
C.a(chǎn) strong windD.something wrong with his hat
【小題3】Will Miller kept the hat for years because ______.
A.he wanted to leave it to his child
B.it was valuable as a gift
C.he wanted to return it to its owner
D.he wanted to sell it one day
【小題4】From the passage we can know Jeff Harris and Miller ______.
A.had been friends before the story happened
B.didn’t know the importance of the hat
C.often told sea stories to each other
D.once worked at sea


【小題1】C

     Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or advanced technology.   47  , they just need someone with the   48   to lend an ear and spare a little of their time. For me, that is one of the best things a doctor can do for a patient, doesn't it?
