The first two 36 there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang 37 for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them. As we were 38 on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them 39 off at the walls or floor. However, one lady 40 my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They werent the songs that we were singing, at least they didnt 41 like that. As we got 42 with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. 43 she was singing, she was also 44 out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my 45 were to my students. People who worked at the care center could 46 to her, I thought.

Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No 52 can completely describe that touching moment. It 53 a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love.

The making and selling of drugs have a long history and are closely linked, like medical practice itself, with the belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific techniques made it possible for some of the causes of symptoms to be understood, so that more accurate diagnosis has become possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the correct diagnosis(诊断)of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many other illnesses, of which the causes remain unknown, it is still limited, like the unqualified prescriber (出具处方者), to the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to attack the cause: this is the essential difference between medical prescribing and self-medication.The advance of technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy (治疗法). In many countries public health organization is improving and peoples nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends have two harmful effects. One is the use of high-pressure advertising by the pharmaceutical（制药）industry, which has tended to influence both patients and doctors and has led to the overuse of drugs generally. The other is the emergence of the sedentary (需要久坐的) society with its faulty ways of life: lack of exercise, over-eating, unsuitable eating, not enough sleep, too much smoking and drinking. People with disorders arising from faulty habits such as these, as well as from unhappy human relationships, often resort to self-medication and so add the taking of pharmaceuticals to the list. Advertisers go to great lengths to catch this market.Clever advertising, aimed at chronic (慢性的) sufferers who will try anything because doctors have not been able to cure them, can induce such faith in a preparation, particularly if steeply priced, that it will produceby suggestiona very real effect in some people. Advertisements are also aimed at people suffering from mild complaints such as simple colds and coughs, which clear up by themselves within a short time.These are the main reasons why laxatives, indigestion remedies, painkillers, tonics, vitamin and iron tablets and many other preparations are found in quantity in many households. It is doubtful whether taking these things ever improves a persons health; it may even make it worse. Worse because the preparation may contain unsuitable ingredients; worse because the taker may become dependent on them; worse because they might be taken in excess; worse because they may cause poisoning, and worse of all because symptoms of some serious underlying cause may be masked and therefore medical help may not be sought.59. The first paragraph is intended to _.A. suggest that self-medication has a long historyB. define what diagnosis means exactlyC. praise doctors for their expertiseD. tell the symptoms from the causes60. Advertisements are aimed at people suffering from mild complaints because _.A. they often watch ads on TVB. they are more likely to buy the drugs advertisedC. they generally lead a sedentary lifeD. they dont take to sports and easily catch colds61. Paragraphs 2 and 3 explain _.A. those good things are not without side effectsB. why clever advertising is so powerfulC. why people develop faulty ways of lifeD. why in modern times self-medication is still practised62. The best title for the passage would be _.A. Medical Practice B. Clever AdvertisingC. Self-Medication D. Self-TreatmentCI had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to conduct two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died full of years, as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the dead woman said to me, If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. Its my fault that she died. At the second home, the son of the other dead woman said, If only I hadnt insisted on my mothers going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. Its my fault that shes dead. When things dont turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests(牧师) know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, delaying the operation would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the concept that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile(幼儿的) myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and orders the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile concept that our wishes cause things to happen. 63. What is said about the two dead elderly women? A. They lived out a natural life. B. They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride. C. They werent accustomed to the change in weather. D. They died due to lack of care by family members. 64. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _. A. they couldnt find a better way to express their deep sorrow B. they believe that they were responsible C. they had overlooked the natural course of events D. they didnt know things often turn out in the opposite direction 65. People have been made to believe since infancy that _. A. everybody is at their command B. life and death is an unsolved mystery C. every story should have a happy ending D. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens D“I never did hate the Yankees （北方佬）. All that I hated was the war.” Thats how my great-aunt Bettie began her story. I heard it many times as a child, whenever my family visited Aunt Bettie in the old house in Berryville, Virginia. Bettie Van Metre had good reason to hate the Civil War. Her brother was killed at Gettysburg, and her husband, James, a Confederate （南方联盟军） officer, was taken prisoner and sent to an unknown prison camp somewhere.One day in late September, Dick came to Bettie reporting that he had found a wounded Union soldier in a farmhouse half a mile away from the Van Metre home. When talking about her first sight of the man in the blood-spotted blue uniform, she always used the same words. “It was like walking into a nightmare: those awful bandages, that terrible smell.” She went out into the cool air, trying not to be sick at the thought of that sm
