In that moment, I actually believed that my life was more 37 than anyone else around me. Life handed me a perfectly wrapped lesson that opened my eyes to the fact that through my 38 I had allowed myself to become blinded by my self-pity.The 39 presented itself in a health crisis. I had problems from a medical procedure (程序) and 40 in hospital for four days.The first three nights, the same nurse took care of me and 41 communicated with me at all the first two nights, 42 to give me medicine as scheduled. She 43 had no idea how much emotional pain I was in. I regarded her as a bad nurse who had little 44 , and remained45 in my own emotional and physical pain.The 46 night the young nurse became a little talkative. She asked me how I was feeling (finally!). I told her that I was 47 with depression and sadness because my husband had died in an airplane accident.She looked at me and told me that her husband had died too, just two months earlier. I was speechless and 48 . 49 , in any of the possibilities of why this nurse was so 50 from me, did I even consider that she might be in the same pain as I was. Not only was she 51 as I was, but she was having to take care of me, instead of caring for herself and her family.We went on to talk and share our stories about our 52 husbands. I like to think that we helped each other a bit that night.This experience was a life-changing event for me. I had always 53 myself on being an empathetic(able to share othersfeelings) person, but I realize now I had not really understood what being empathetic meant. To truly be empathetic, you must be able to see 54 your own pain to be witness to the pain. I never looked at another person in the same way after this experience.Always take the time to be kind even when youre suffering with your own pain. And dont assume that someone else has it easier than you. You never know the 55 someone else is fighting.36. A. wife B. husbandC. father D. mother37. A. easy B. absurd C. cheerful D. difficult38. A. performance B. anxiety C. sufferingD. conflict39. A. lessonB. anger C. saying D. setting40. A. ended upB. used up C. cleaned up D. queued up41. A. truly B. hardly C. willingly D. negatively42. A. more than B. rather than C. other than D. less than43. A. accurately B. originally C. sincerely D. clearly44. A. finding B. amusementC. understanding D. relation45. A. interested B. absorbed C. guilty D. awkward46. A. third B. first C. second D. fourth47. A. bargainingB. tradingC. struggling D. competing48. A. crazyB. shocked C. cosy D. annoyed49. A. Never B.

The meaning of silence varies from culture to culture. Silence may be thoughtful, or it may be empty when a person has nothing to say. Silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communication among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be indicated is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a symbol of reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by their superior rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Thai cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the curing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.59. What does the author say about silence in conversations?A. It suggests anger and conflict between people.B. It promotes friendship and understanding.C. It depends on which country talkers are from.D. It is based on the situation of the conversation.60. Which of the following is the right match for the country and its meaning of silence?a. China b. France c. Mexico d. Thailand agreement disagreement respect reflectionA. a； b；c； dB. a； b；c； dC. a； b； c； dD. a； b； c； d61. According to the writer, what should nurses do when patients are silent?A. Ignore the silence as patients wish not to embarrass them.B. Break the silence as early as possible by comforting them.C. Research the possible harm of silence done to patients.D. Use the silence to cure them, based onpatients needs.CThe Metropolis Transport team at Portsmouth University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.The latest scientific research shows that giving up driving is one of the main reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more lonely and inactive.Led by Professor Phillips, the Portsmouth team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night visual systems and intelligent speed controls. ProfessorPhillips explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone, whose children are busy with their work or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any possibly challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Thomas Blood, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to handle these problems.”“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.” Dr Thomas Blood added.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”62. The DriveLAB was set up with the intention of _.A. exploring newmeans of transport for aged peopleB. designing new types of cars for the old passengersC. developing cars to help the old to drive confidentlyD. teachingold people how to avoid traffic accidents63. According to Professor Phillips, driving is important for older people because _.A. it helps them go where they want to go easilyB. it contributes to their happiness and healthC. it makes them work and live independentlyD. it functions as a cure for their mental illnesses64. What can we infer from what Dr Thomas Blood sa
