surgeon mehmet oz was set to go. on the operating table lay a 50-year-old man, dying from heart failure. he was cold, and his chest was painted with sterilizing fluid (消毒液). in minutes, dr oz and his team would implant a mechanical pump to keep him alive until a donor heart could be found. the man, who was a manager in an agricultural company, was clearly terrified, knowing that he could die. just then someone called out. there was an urgent phone call for the surgeon. it was someone from the patients health insurance company. the companys policy covered heart transplants, but not the cost of the mechanical pump. at the end of the operation, someone was going to owe some money and the insurers were insisting that it would not be them. dr oz was confused. what was he supposed to do? was he supposed to sacrifice this mans life because no one knew whod pay for the surgery? luckily, the chairman of the hospital said he could go on with the operation. theyd figure out whod pay later. in the end, the surgery was a success, but the hospital got stuck with most of the cost. between 2000 and 2003, seven in ten adults who were driven into debt by medical expenses had insurance at the time. in 2001, 42.5 million people in insured households paid 10% or more of the familys net income in medical expenses. they are americas underinsured, caught in a catch-22 too well-off to qualify for government programs that support the poor, while not nearly rich enough to pay their health bills. 36. dr oz was confused and didnt know what to do because _.a. the patients health insurance company wouldnt pay for the operationb. the patient refused to pay for the operationc. the cost of the operation was too highd. there was no one caring for the patient 37. at last, who paid most of the cost of the operation?a. the patients health insurance company.b. the hospital.c. the patient himself. d. dr oz.38. from the passage, we can learn that the american government programs support _.a. only the rich b. only the healthyc. only the sick d. only the pooryes, love is everywhere. love is in me, love is in you and love is there in everything on the earth because love is god and god is love. love provides us with the opportunity to have marvelous experiences. scientifically it is difficult to state the causes of love. still love can do miracles. it does not cost anything to share and give love. true love always multiplies itself and never reduces. now the question arises how to tell true love from fake love. this question has a very simple answer. we can never know the real feeling of the other people, but we dont need to worry about it. if our own feelings are true then it is definitely a true love. we do not need other peoples acceptance or approval for it. in love it matters only that we are ready to give. it is very easy to give love to others and we will always get many times more love in return. however, there is one condition, that is, our love should be free of any expectation. the indian god krishna only loves and loves. he is a symbol of love and a picture of love itself. we usually run here and there in search of love and never find it but we forget to look at what is near us. love is here in ourselves, only we need to give it to others. if you offer others love then they are not going to return hatred to you. they will also return love to you. love is very simple, but still so many people are not able to understand it because they do not love themselves. first lesson in love is to love yourself.39. by saying, “however, there is one condition, that is, our love should be free of any expectation.” in the second paragraph, the author means that _.a. loving others means getting love back b. if you love others truly, dont expect whether others love

thomas bradley, a black man, was elected mayor of los angeles. los angeles is the third largest city in the united states with a population of about three million. about 16% of the citys population is black. news of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the united states. bradley called his victory over yorty “the fulfillment (实现) of a dream”. during his childhood and youth, people had kept telling him, “you cant do this, or you cant go there, because you are black.” nevertheless, he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been the citys mayor for three terms. bradley had won 56.3% of the votes while yorty had won 43.7%. los angeles voters have had many opportunities to judge thomas bradley and to form an opinion of him. as the son of a poor farmer from texas, he joined the los angeles police force in 1940. during his twenty-one years with the police he earned a law degree by attending school at night. at the time of the los angeles election, three other american cities already had black mayors, but none of those cities had as large a population as los angeles. besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. cleveland, ohio, was 35% black. in new york and new jersey, 60% of the population was black when kenneth gibson was elected mayor of newark in 1970. thus the election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising. in los angeles, thousands of white citizens voted for thomas bradley. they believed that he would be a better mayor than the white candidate (候选人). bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in los angeles. last time bradley lost the mayoral election to yorty. this time bradley won.43. which city had the smallest percentage of blacks among the cities with black mayors at that time?a. cleveland. b. new york. c. los angeles. d. newark. 44. from the passage, we can learn that people _.a. voted for bradley because he had lived in los angeles for a long timeb. didnt care whether bradley was black or not when they votedc. voted for bradley to give him a chance to fulfill his dreamd. voted for bradley because he had won the trust of people in los
