Answer the questions （根据短文内容回答下列问题）： （7分）My aunt Edith was aged 50, working as a secretary, when doctors discovered a very serious heart illness. Aunt Edith didnt accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart doctor, Dr. Brown. He had saved the life of someone with the same illness. The article said Dr. Browns fees were high. Aunt Edith couldnt possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fee she could pay? So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years, among them a little girl who always dreamed of travelling and seeing the world. There wasnt a word of self-pity- only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer. A few days later, my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didnt want to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud happily: Your beautiful letter moved me deeply. If you can come to Houston, there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.Signed: BrownThat was seven years ago. Since then, Aunt Edith has been around the world.
