ad.很少；难得purchasev.买；购买3爷爷靠看电视打发时光，当奶奶忙家务的时候他就看电视里的新闻和球赛。他们有个约定——没有奶奶的帮助，他不准离开椅子或床。4奶奶对爷爷说，“如果你摔倒了，而我为了扶你又把自己的背扭伤了，那么谁来照顾我们俩呢？”奶奶是决意要自己照料自己，独立生活的。布鲁克林的赤褐色砂石房子是他们的第一个家，那里留下了美好的回忆，所以他们无论什么时候都不想离开自己的家。5作为爱尔兰的移民，他们在美国相识，结婚。奶奶对人亲切友善，毫无私心。爷爷则是沉默少语，但对家庭全心全意付出，尽管在送礼物方面不太慷慨。他会尽心尽力去帮奶奶，他深信只要平日里真心体贴妻子，礼物倒在其次，故而他很少给奶奶买礼物。6Thishadbeenasorepointintheearlydaysoftheirmarriage.Butasyearspassed,Grandmarealizedwhatagoodmanhewas.And,afterall,anythingshewantedshecouldbuyforherself.7Itwasacold,grayFebruarymorning,atypicalwinter’sdayinNewYork.Asalways,GrandmawalkedGrandpatohischair.8“I’mgoingtotakeashowernow.”Shehandedhimthetelevisionremote.“Ifyouneedanything,I’llbebackinalittlewhile.”9Afterhershower,sheglancedtowardsthebackofGrandpa’sreclinerbutnoticedthathiscanewasnotleaninginitsusualspot.Sensingsomethingunusual,shewentintotheroom.Hewasgone.Theclosetdoorstoodopenandhishatandovercoatweremissing.Fearrandownherspine.10Grandmathrewacoatoverherbathrobeandranoutside.Hecouldn’thavegonefar;hecouldhardlywalkonhisown.*sorea.疼痛的；痛苦的typical

n.地点；场所*spinen.脊柱；脊椎*bathroben.浴袍6这在他们婚姻早期曾经是个痛处。但是随着时间的推移，奶奶意识到爷爷是多么好的一个男人。毕竟，如果真的想要什么，她可以给自己买。7这是二月的一个早晨，天气寒冷，天色黯淡，典型的纽约的冬天。和往常一样，奶奶搀扶着爷爷在椅子上坐下。8“我现在要去洗个澡，”奶奶把电视遥控器递给爷爷，“如果你有什么需要，等我一会儿回来再说。”9洗完澡，奶奶扫了一眼爷爷躺椅的椅背，却发现爷爷的拐杖不在老地方。感觉有点不对劲，她走进房间。爷爷不在那。衣帽间的门敞开着，他的帽子和大衣也都不见了。奶奶感到一阵恐惧袭过后背。10奶奶胡乱地在浴袍外面加了一件大衣，跑了出去。他一定没有走远；他自己几乎没法行走。12Wherecouldhebe?Whywouldheleavethehouseallbyhimself?13Shewatchedtrafficrushby.Sherecalled

ad.极度地；严重地15正在这时，爷爷的身影出现在街道拐角。他低着头，眼睛紧盯着人行道，小心地挪动步伐。他的大衣耷拉在受伤的肩上，另一只手臂夹着拐杖和一个包裹。16奶奶不顾一切地向爷爷跑去。当她看到爷爷安然无恙才放下心来，她开始埋怨起来。17“我只离开了你一小会儿。你急着干什么去，你就不能等一等？我都担心死了！到底什么事那么重要？”18爷爷还没来得及解释，奶奶便伸手去接那个棕色的袋子，从里面掏出了一个心形盒子。19“今天是情人节，”爷爷解释道。“我想你可能会喜欢一盒巧克力。”20Agift?Allthisworryfor...candy?21“Ihaven’tboughtyouagiftinalong,longtime.”Hisstroke-impairedwordswarmedthewinterwind.22TearsfloodedGrandma’seyesasshehuggedhisarmtoherchestandhelpedGrandpahome.23Sheshookherheadslowly.24Itjustgoestoshow,shethought,it’snevertoolateforromance.*impaireda.受损的；变差的hug

v.（热烈地）拥抱；紧抱chestn.胸；胸腔20一个礼物？所有这些担心就为了……这盒糖果？21“我已经很久很久没有给你买礼物了。”他中过风，吐字不清，但字字句句温暖了冬天的寒风。22奶奶顿时热泪盈眶。她把爷爷的手臂搂在胸前，搀扶着他往家走。23她缓缓地摇了摇头。24她思忖着，爱情的浪漫无论何时到来都不太晚。UnderstandingItTask1Readthetextandanswerthefollowingquestions.1WhatillnessdidGrandpasufferfrom?2WheredidGrandpaandGrandmalive?3WhydidGrandpaseldombuyGrandmagifts?4WhatdidGrandmafindaftershetookashower?5WhydidGrandpaleavethehousealone?Stroke.TheylivedinaBrooklynbrownstoneinNewYorkCity.BecauseGrandpaheldthebeliefthatifyoutreatedyourwifewellthroughouttheyear,presentsweren’tnecessary.ShefoundGrandpawasgone.BecausehewantedtobuyagiftforGrandmaonValentine’sDay.Task2Readthetextagainandcorrectthefollowingstatements.1GrandpaandGrandmamigratedtotheUSaftertheygotmarried.2Grandmadidn’tmindherhusbandnotpurchasinggiftsforherwhentheywerenewlywed.3GrandpawatchedTVwhileGrandmatookashower.4Grandpaslippedonthesidewalkwhenhecamebackfromthestore.5Grandmaburstintotearswhensheopenedtheheart-shapedbox.1GrandpaandGrandmahadimmigratedtotheUSbeforetheygotmarried.2Grandmamindedthatherhusbanddidnotpurchasegiftsforherwhentheywerenewlywed.3GrandpalefthomewhileGrandmatookashower.4Grandpawalkedcautiouslyalongthesidewalkwhenhecamebackfromthestore.5GrandmaburstintotearswhensheheardthatGrandpaboughtheraValentinegiftforallthatworry.

n.压力那时我拥有一家公司，工作异乎寻常地努力。我早上7点开始工作，常常到第二天晚上8点才收工。我喜欢忙碌的生活，虽然压力很大，但我真的很享受一件事情最终得以顺利完成的感觉，那是一种惬意的满足感。

n.按摩hypnotherapyn.催眠术疗法violent

a.暴力的shutdown关闭；（使）停工miserable

a.悲惨的此外，我的饮食也很糟糕。我靠在加油站买的食物果腹，而且睡眠严重不足。医生说我的身体停止正常运转以示抗议，我需要好好休息。在接下来的三个月里，我成天昏睡不起。慢慢地，我的状况开始有所好转，但还是感到十分疲倦。这种状况持续了四年。我的合伙人开始怀疑我是不是快不行了。他向医生咨询，得到的回答竟然是，“我不知道，她的身体状态犹如一个80岁的老妪。”从那刻起，我开始思考自己的未来。我决定在生活中寻找快乐。我每个星期都去做按摩和催眠来帮助自己放松，同时决定不再看任何暴力或悲伤的电视节目。

n.(=regimen)养生法remarkable

a.显著的；值得注意的；卓越的caffeinen.咖啡因well-being

n.幸福；健康自从我开始强制性放松的养生疗法后，效果非常显著。很快，我感觉好多了，饮食也很健康，戒掉了咖啡和酒。三个月以后，我觉得身体比之前好多了，但是因为卧床时间太长，我的身体仍然很虚弱。我每天开始散步，6个月后，我的身体终于恢复了正常。我精力充沛，皮肤也变好了，每天晚上只睡8个小时。这一切太神奇了。

现在我已经做了10年的健康咨询师。我又努力工作，并从中获得很大的满足感，但与从前不同的是，我在工作和生活之间实现了平衡，我知道如何安排好工作时间。Task1Tick(√)thecorrectreasonswhythewriter’shealthcollapsed.1overtimework2lackofrecreation3unhealthydiet4lackofexercises5excessivesmoking6insufficientsleep√√√√7lossofhappinessinwork√Task2Answerthefollowingquestionsaccordingtothetext.➢Whydidn’tLizrecognizethatherhealthwasruinedbywork-relatedstress?➢HowlongdidLizbecomehousebound?Becauseshebelievedstressmeantbeingunhappywhereasshewasreallyenjoyingherlife;shedidn’trealizetheexistenceofstressinherbusywork.Forthreemonths.No.Task2Answerthefollowingquestionsaccordingtothetext.➢DidthedoctorknowhowtohelpLizgetbacktohernormallife?➢HowdidLizgetrecovered?Whatwasherregime?Shestartedaregimeofenforcedrelaxation,ateahealthydietandstoppeddrinkingcaffeineandalcohol.ListeningTask1Adoctorismakingsuggestionstohispatient.Listentotheconversationanddecidewhetherthefollowingstatementsaretrue(T)orfalse(F).Script1Thepatientisnotinthehealthyweightrange.2Thedoctorsuggeststhepatienthavenomeat.3Accordingtothedoctor,chocolateistheworstforhishealth.4Thedoctoradvisesthepatientcutoutjunkfoodentirely.FFFTTask2Listentotheconversationagainandtick(√)thejunkfoodmentionedinit.1chocolate2fruit3vegetable4hamburger5Frenchfries6grain7meat8milkshake9friedchicken√√√√ScriptThedoctoristalkingabouthowtoloseweight.Listentotheconversationathirdtimeandfillintheblankswithwhatyouhear.Task31Ithinkthebestwaytoloseweightis______________.Walkmore,goforarunorplaytennisandsoccer.Andyoushouldmakesurethatyouhavea__________diet.2Whatyoumustdois:Eatmore____________thanmeat,andeatfoodthatishighinfiber,lowin_____.Cutdownonartificialpreservatives.Andthemostimportantthingisthatyoumusteat______sugar.balancedvegetablesfattoexerciselessScriptP:Doctor,Idon’tfeelverywell.D:What’sthematterwithyou？P:Igettiredveryeasily.WhenIgoupstairs,I’mquicklyoutofbreath.Itdidn’tusetohappen.Doyouthinkthere’ssomethingseriouslywrongwithme？D:Idon’tthinkso,butlet’ssee.Howmuchdoyouweigh？
