committee for a oneday cycling event called “tour de cure”. its sponsored by the ada and the profits(利润) of this event are used for diabetes research and program funding.while i was talking to people about our “tour de cure” event in downtown denver one day, i met a young boy wearing a red hat from oklahoma named jack. i think he was 1011 years old. it was the jar of red rubber wrist bands (the american diabetes association diabetes awareness wrist bands) that caught jacks eye. these are the bands we give out to people who have diabetes, who have a family member who has diabetes or to those people who know someone who has diabetes.people wear these for a variety of reasons: in memory of a loved one, to promote diabetes awareness and to show support for people who have diabetes. jack walked towards me eyeing the jar and then he said, “can i have one of those？” so, i replied to jack, “do you have someone in your family who has diabetes？” jack said, “no, but i know someone who has diabetes.” so i gave him one to wear for his friend.then, jack began looking at our “tour de cure” photo album. when jack had finished and was about to go, he looked up at me and said, “would you take a donation？” i was surprised to hear this from a 1011yearold boy, but i said, “yes.” i took the lid of our donation container off as jack was reaching into his pocket. his hand came out clinched around the donation he was about to make. it was my impression that what he had in his hand was everything he had in his pocket, as he did not count it. after jack dropped his donation into the container, i gave him a highfive, as i so often do to acknowledge an accomplishment or an appreciation. i also gave him a handshake before he parted. after jack left, i counted his gift$3.00. i then realized that he gave all he had, without counting the cost.the heart of a child made me smile that day. thank you, jack.文章大意：我在为美国糖尿病协会作志愿者时，一个名叫杰克的小孩的善心捐赠深深感动了我。56what attracted jack to walk towards

father christmas would find out and wouldnt give me any presents.but when it comes to medicine，i had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients.after all，the doctorpatient relationship is based on trust，and therefore honesty is essential. or so i thought.i had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科)mr.mcmahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen.i took a medical history from his daughter whod accompanied him in the ambulance.shed been his main carer for years.i stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history.“has he lost any weight recently？” i asked，“well，its funny you should mention that，but yes，” she said slowly.there was silence for a few moments.“why? what are you worried about？” she asked，i hesitated.she was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that i told her the truth.“well，we need to prove its not cancer.” i said and talked briefly about some of the tests i was going to order.half an hour later，a nurse called me: “mr.mcmahons daughter broke downshe said you told her he had cancer.” my heart sank.by the time i arrived at the ward，my consultant was already there，explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer.i stood silently at the end of the bed.my consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left mr.mcmahon，she turned to me.“why on earth did you do that？” she asked in disbelief.i looked at her and bit my lip.“she asked me what i was worried about and i told her.” i said，hanging_my_head.“and give her more to worry about？” replied my consultant.“you dont say the word cancer until its confirmed.even if you suspect it，think very carefully before you tell people.”as it turned out，it wasnt cancer.but i did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one theyre sometimes selective in what they hearand as a doctor its important to be mindful of this.in being truthful，id made the situation worse.原本在一位医生的心目中，诚实是第一位的；而且在工作中也是奉行诚实本分的处世原则。可是因为一次说了不够确切的实话，却让一位病人受到了打击，这件事让这位医生得出了一个结论：诚实有时候也会出错。1the purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author _.amisunderstood the

typical of a happy family. later, yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”. in fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his familyboth his father and his brother were painters. but he finally settled on literature, particularly drama (戏剧) and poetry.yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. he set himself the fresh task in founding an irish national theatre in the late 1890s.his early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning. he didnt lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.compared with his dramatic works, yeatss poems attract much admiring notice.the subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging. though yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. as his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.he had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the nobel prize in 1923.yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life. had yeats stopped writing at age 40，he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. after yeatss death in 1939, wh. auden wrote, among others, the following lines：earth，receive an honoured guest：william yeats is laid to rest.let the irish vessel (船) lieemptied of its poetry.本文介绍了爱尔兰著名作家威廉巴特勒叶慈，他在19世纪90年代成立了爱尔兰国家剧院，他以诗体戏剧及诗歌闻名，于1923年获得了诺贝
