as a result Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic of a local doctor where he was supposed to be helping to wrap up medicine bottles but was actually trying to listen to the conversations taking place between the doctor and his patients in the next room During the war Tim served in the Navy as a surgeon 外科医生 That was the happiest time of my life I was dealing with very real suffering and on the whole making a success of it In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine He saw himself as a life saver He had proved his skills to himself and his ability to take decisions Thus while he was able to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them After the war he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside working under an old doctor who was popular in the area but who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith This gave the younger man many opportunities to go on working as a life saver 50 Tim decided to become a doctor at fifteen mainly because A his father wanted him to be so B his father was a surgeon himself

passage is mainly about A Tim s life story B Tim s dream C Tim s marriage D Tim s patients D While watching the Olympics the other night I came across an unbelievable sight It was not a gold medal or a world record broken but a show of courage The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks For one reason or another two of them false started so they were disqualified That left only one to compete It would have been difficult enough not having anyone to race against even though the time on the clock is important I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong I m not an expert swimmer but I can tell a good dive from a poor one and this was not exactly medal quality When he resurfaced it was evident that 4 the man was not out for gold his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle The crowd started to laugh Clearly this man was not a medal competitor I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time Finally he made his turn to start back It was pitiful He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out But in those few awful strokes the crowd had changed No longer were they laughing but beginning to cheer Some even began to stand and shout Come on you can do it and he did A clear minute past the average swimmer this young man finally finished his race The crowd went wild You would have thought that he had won the gold and he should have Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors Just a short year ago he had never even swum let alone race His country had been invited to Sydney 54 From the passage we can learn that the young man A made his turn to start back pitifully B was

enable it to beat Between the age of 20 and 70 one third of those cells die and are not replaced in men said Goldspink This is part of the ageing process What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells A healthy 70 year old woman s heart could perform almost as well as a 20 year old one s This gender 性别 difference might just explain why women live longer than men said Goldspink 5 They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80 focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart said Goldspink The good news is that men can im
