Earning my wings was the realization of a childhood dream that I had set for myself after my first plane ride at the age of five. Like so many others before me, I fell in love with the romance of airplanes, adventure and helping others. I have flown hundreds of flights since graduation, but one stands out among the many. We were flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C, when I answered a lavatory call light in the coach cabin. There I found a young mother struggling with her infant. Everything was a mess, to say the least, and the mother, who was near hysterics, told me she had no more diapers or other clothing onboard the aircraft.,Through her tears, she informed me that they had missed their flight the previous night in Los Angeles and because she had very little money, she and her son had spent the night on the airport floor. Since she hadnt expected to miss the flight, she was forced to use up most of her supplies and whatever money she had to feed them. With the saddest eyes I have ever seen she continued. She told me she was on her way to New Hampshire to deliver her son to the family that was adopting him. She could no longer support the two of them. As she stood in front of me, crying, holding her beautiful son, I could see the despair and hopelessness on her face. And, as a mother of three beautiful daughters, I could feel her pain. I immediately rang the flight attendant call button and asked for assistance from the other flight attendants. They brought cloth towels,from first class to assist in cleaning up both mom and the infant. I ran and got my suitcase; because this woman and I were about the same size, I gave her a sweater and a pair of pants I had brought for my layover. Then I asked several families if they could spare extra diapers, formula and clothes for the child. After the young mother and her son had changed their clothes and the baby had gone to sleep, I sat with her, holding her hand, trying to provide some support and comfort for the remainder of the flight. Once we landed, I walked them to their next flight, which would take them to their final destination: separation. As she thanked me for all I had done she said softly, “Youre not the flight attendant, youre a Sky Angel.” Touching my flight attendant wings, she continued, “And those are your angel wings.”,Reading Focus-Text A,First Reading Read the text and then answer the questions in the left margin.,Note 1This text is taken from /language_tips/book.html. Chinese危难中的援手,On Her Own, But Not Alone1,Marjorie Baer used to joke about her retirement plans. She wasnt married and had no kids, but she didnt intend to be alone she and all her single friends would move into a fictional home she called Casa de Biddies. Instead, Baer developed terminal brain cancer when she was 52. But just as shed hoped, her friends and family provided her with love and care to the end.,1,Language Pointdevelop: develop local economy 发展当地的经济 develop cancer 得癌症 develop a taste for 养成的爱好 develop a sense of responsibility 培养责任感 develop AIDS drugs 开发用于治疗艾滋病的药物 develop ones own style 形成自己的风格 develop ones writing skills 提高写作技能,Chinese马吉瑞拜尔过去曾拿自己的退休计划开玩笑。她没结过婚，也没有孩子，但她不想孤独终老她和单身的朋友们将搬到一个想象中的家园，她称之为“魅力女孩之家”。52岁时，拜尔得了晚期脑癌，但正如她希望的那样，朋友和家人给了她关爱，直至她生命的最后一刻。,She and all her single friends would move into a fictional home.,What was Baers retirement plan?,2,Baers friends Lee Ballance and Mary Selkirk were walking their dog one afternoon in July 2006 when they saw an ambulance in front of her house. Baer had a seizure and collapsed. Ballance, a physician, hopped in his car and followed the ambulance to the hospital to be at Baers side while doctors tried to figure out what was going on.2 When they did, the news wasnt good: She had glioblastoma multiform, a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer.3,Note 2Ballance, a physician to figure out what was going on: Balance, who was a physician, immediately got into his car, and followed the ambulance to the hospital. He wanted to be at Baers side when doctors tried to decide whats wrong with Baer. Note 3When they did, the news wasnt good: She had glioblastoma multiform, a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer: The doctors had bad news when they finished diagnosing Baers illness. She had developed glioblastoma, which was a form of very active brain cancer.,Chinese2006年7月的一个下午，拜尔的朋友李拜伦斯和玛丽赛尔科克在遛狗时看到一辆救护车停在拜尔家门口。拜尔突然发病，昏倒了。拜伦斯是医生，他立刻跳进自己的车跟在救护车后面一路到了医院，他希望在医生们诊断时他能陪在拜尔身边。医生们诊断完了，不是好消息：拜尔患上了胶质瘤，一种恶性程度很高的脑癌。,Language Pointin front of/in the front of: Use “in front of” when one thing is separate from the other, while “in the front of” is used when one thing is inside or part of the other. e.g. A child ran into the road in front of the bus, so the driver had to stop. The no-smoking seats are in the front of the plane.,Ballance was only the first of Baers friends who became her unofficial caregivers. Until her brother Phil Baer put his marriage and work in Los Angeles on hold to care for his sister during her final weeks, they cobbled together a system to watch over their friend and allow her to keep some of the privacy and independence she cherished.,3,They saw an ambulance in front of her house.,What did Balance and Selkirk see one afternoon?,Language Point-cy/-ence: Suffix “ cy” is a noun forming suffix usually added to 1) adjectives to mean “the quality or state of being adj.” e.g. pregnancy, privacy, accuracy, decency, etc.; 2) nouns referring to rank, status or profession. e.g. consultancy, presidency, candidacy, etc. Suffix “ ence” can be used together with 1) verbs to form nouns indicating the action, process or state of v.-ing. e.g. insistence, dependence, existence, occurrence, etc.; 2) adjectives ending in -ent to form nouns indicating the quality or state of being adj e.g. obedience, confidence, patience, convenience, etc.,Chinese拜尔的朋友们都成了她的看护，拜伦斯是第一个。在拜尔最后几周的弥留之际，她的弟弟菲尔放下在洛杉矶的家庭和工作来照顾姐姐，在此之前，拜尔的朋友们已经迅速组织起来照看拜尔，同时又能让拜尔保留一些她所看重的隐私和独立。,Baers good friend Ruth Henrich took the lead. That seemed natural: Henrich, then 58, and Baer both worked in publishing and lived in the same duplex. Though busy in her job as an associate managing editor at , Henrich took Baer to doctors appointments and helped her deal with all the aspects of life that were becoming increasingly mysterious to her4 answering machines, TV controls, and even phone numbers. After Henrich sent out an e-mail request, a group of volunteers signed up to ferry Baer back and forth to radiation therapy. Others in Baers circle offered up particular talents5: A nurse friend helped Baer figure out how to get what she was due from Social Security6 and her disability insurance; an attorney pal helped Baer with her will; a buddy who was an accountant took over her bills when she could no longer manage them. “There was this odd sense that the right person always showed up,” says Ballance.7,4,Note 4Though busy in her job becoming increasingly mysterious to her: Henrich worked as an associate managing editor at , and was usually busy with her work. Yet despite everything, she took Baer to see doctors and helped Baer deal with everything in her life that was becoming more and more strange. Note 5Others in Baers circle offered up particular talents: Other friends offered special help to Baer by means of using their particular skills and professional knowledge. Note 6Social Security: It is primarily a social insurance program providing social protection, or protection against socially recognized conditions, including poverty, old age, disability, unemployment and others.,Note 7“There was this odd sense that the right person always showed up,” says Ballance: Ballance says: “It was incredible that whenever you need help, the right person to help you out would be there.”,LanguagePointduplex/bungalow/town house/apartment/semi-detached house/terraced house: duplex: a type of house that is divided into two parts, so that it has two separate homes in it. house: a building for people to live in, and usually has more than one level. bungalow: a small house which is on one level cottage: a small, old house, especially in the country,Language Pointthough: “Though” is used to introduce a statement that makes the main statement coming after it seem surprising, unlikely, or unexpected. e.g. Though she is almost 40, she still plans to compete. The rooms, though small, are pleasant and airy.,apartment (AmE)/flat (BrE): a set of rooms inside a larger building townhouse: a house in a group of houses that share one or more walls semi-detached house: a house joined to another house on one side terraced house: a house which is part of a row of houses that are joined together,Chinese拜尔的好朋友露丝恩里克领的头。一切似乎都顺理成章：当时58岁的恩里克和拜尔都干出版这一行，还住在同一联体别墅里。恩里克是的副总编，尽管工作很忙，但她还是带拜尔去看医生，帮助拜尔应对日常生活的方方面面，如使用电话答录机、电视遥控器、以及查找电话号码这些对拜尔来说已变得越来越神秘难解的事情。 在恩里克发出一封求助邮件之后，一群志愿者报名接送拜尔做放疗。拜尔朋友圈中的其他人也各尽其能提供帮助：一位护士朋友设法帮拜尔从社保和残障保险拿她该取的钱；一位律师哥们帮拜尔处理遗嘱；在拜尔自己无法应付帐单时，一位做会计的老兄帮她打理。拜伦斯说：“我一直有这种奇怪的感觉，在需要时总有最合适办那件事的人出现。”,Not that it was easy. “I had to know at all times who was going to be there and anticipate what Marjorie would need next, so it was always on my mind,” says Henrich. “It was something I wanted to do, but it also never went away.” Still, their arrangement worked remarkably well. Even as Baer lost the ability to read and write and engage in conversation over the course of the year, she was able to continue to live on her own, walk to the market, take the subway to painting classes, and even fly to Iowa by herself to visit her brother Tom and his family.,5,Chinese这一切并不容易。“自始至终我必须知道谁会在拜尔身边，要判断马吉瑞接下来需要什么，所以这些事儿一直压在我心上，”恩里克说。“这是我想做的事儿，但这些事也一直在我脑子里盘旋”。所有的安排出奇地顺利，即使那一年拜尔丧失了阅读和书写的能力，也没法和别人谈话，她还是能独立生活，走路去市场，搭地铁去上绘画课，甚至独自一人坐飞机去爱荷华，看她的弟弟汤姆一家。,“She was a generous person,” says another friend, Elizabeth Whipple, “and it came back to her in truckloads.”8,6,Note 8“She was a generous person,” says another friend, Elizabeth Whipple, “and it came back to her in truckloads.”: Another friend Elizabeth Whipple says: “she was a very kind person, always ready to help others. Therefore she got a lot of help from other people in return.”,Chinese“她为人慷慨，”另一位朋友伊丽莎白维普尔说，“所以别人也以极大的慷慨回赠于她”,Unmarried women are one of the fastest-growing demographic groups in America, and increasing numbers of men are remaining single, too; experts are concerned about how caregiving will be managed for both groups as they age. If the experience of Baers friends is a guide, the Internet will play a role. Its already making it possible to create communities of caregivers who may have only one thing in common: the person who needs their help. On personal “care pages” set up through services such as Lotsa Helping Hands9, friends and family members can post a list of tasks that need to be done, volunteer to do them, and keep updated on the persons condition. As Baers cancer progressed, for example, her friends set up a page on Yahoo! where people could sign up to deliver meals or do errands.,7,Note 9Lotsa Helping Hands: It is a free of charge, private, web-based community created to organize family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues during times of need. With this virtual community it is easier to coordinate activities, manage volunteers and share information using announcements, messages boards, and photos. The creators of the website believe that building circles of caring communities is a recognized way to find meaning in both giving and receiving.,Language Pointremain, remnant, remains: remain: 1) to continue to be in the same state of condition e.g. Please remain seated until all lights are on. The boy remained silent. 2) fml to stay in the same place without moving away e.g. She was too ill to remain at home. The refugees were allowed to remain in the UK. 3) to continue to exist or be left after others have gone, been used, or been destroyed e.g. The score is tied, with ten minutes remaining. What remains of his original art collection is now in the city museum.,remains: the parts of something that are left after the rest has been destroyed or has disappeared e.g. On the table were the remains of the evening meal/dinner. the remains of an old castle remnant: a small part of something that remains after the rest of it has been used, destroyed, or eaten e.g. The remnants of a meal stood on the table. We fed the dogs the remnants of our meal.,Chinese在美国，从人口统计来看，未婚妇女是增长最快的一族，现在也有越来越多的男士终身不娶。专家们担心当这两组人群日渐衰老时，该如何为他们提供照顾。如果拜尔朋友们的做法有指导作用的话，互联网可以有所作为。,互联网已经使创建看护者团体成为可能，这些看护者有一个共同点，即被看护者需要他们的帮助。通过诸如“海量援助”这样的渠道，人们已创建了很多个人“关爱网页”。在这些网页上，朋友和家人可以上传需要完成的任务单，完成这些任务的志愿者，被看护人的最新情况。例如，随着拜尔所患癌症的进展，她的朋友们在雅虎上建立了一个网页，人们可以在那儿报名，给被看护者送饭或者跑跑腿。,Her friends set up a page on Yahoo! Where people could sign up to deliver meals or do errands.,What role did the Internet play in Baers case?,Eventually, their help wasnt enough. One morning, a year after Baers diagnosis, Henrich checked in before work and found Baer on the floor. Though she wore a panic button on a chain around her neck, she hadnt used it.10 “I dont know how long she had been there,” Henrich says.,8,Note 10Though she wore a panic button on a chain around her neck, she hadnt used it: Though she had a chain around her neck on which there was a button she could push when things went wrong, she hadnt used the button.,Language Pointcheck in, check out: “Check in” is most often used to mean “to report ones arrival at a hotel desk, airport, etc.” e.g. You must check in an hour before your plane leaves. check out: to pay the bill and leave a hotel e.g. We checked out of the Hilton at 10 oclock.,Chinese显然，这些帮助还并不够。拜尔确诊后一年的一个上午，恩里克上班前去看拜尔，发现她倒在地上。尽管她脖子上戴着项圈，上面有紧急按钮，但她没按。“我不知道她在地上躺了多久，”恩里克说。,That was when Baers brother Phil stepped in. He and Tom had taken turns earlier making trips to Berkeley to care for their sister; now Phil, who lived in Los Angeles, took leave from his job as head of air-conditioning and heating at CBS Studio Center11 and from his understanding wife, Joyce to care for Baer full-time. “There was just no question in my mind that I would do anything I could, including switch places with Marjorie,” he says.12 “It made me realize how much I loved her.”,9,Note 11CBS Studio Center: The center, located in California, is a full service facility with 18 sound stages on 40 acres. The lot has many exterior locations as well, including 3 permanent sets: New York Street, Central Park, and Residential Street.,There are 18 office buildings and 20 bungalows comprising approximately 210,000 square feet of production office
