     Once Dr. Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students.
The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems. His
condition was not improving, and there was not much hope that he would live.
     Dr. Mellinkoff asked to see the patient. He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked
how he felt. The patient smiled and said everything was all right. Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat.
The patient said that he had no desire to eat.
     "Are you getting food you like?"
     The patient said nothing.
     "Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
     The answer was no.
     The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft.
     "If you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
     "Yes, yes," the patient said.
     The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious. Nothing was said, but it was easy
to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received. Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan
man wasn't getting food he could eat. One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the
kitchen to make special meals."
     "Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital
didn't carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
     "I would probably insist," the student said.
     "Very well," the doctor said. "You might want to try the same method in the kitchen. It won't be easy, but
I can help you. Meanwhile, let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it. Or he'll be
killed by hunger. By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish. If we want to make
real progress, we need to be able to talk with him."
     Three weeks later. Dr. Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own
power. It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them
comfortable.
1. The patient had no desire to eat because _____.
A. he was not hungry
B. he was seriously ill
C. he was given special meals

2. According to the passage, we can conclude that _____.
A. the patient' s native language was Spanish
B. the patient' s illness was caused by hunger
C. Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient
D. the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient
3. Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?
A. Cold.
B. Considerate.
C. Curious.
D. Careless.
4. What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?

     On Saturday nights, A.J. Coston doesn't get a lot of sleep. Usually three or four times a night, a loud bell

     On a rainy day, you will see many streams of muddy (多泥的) water running down the slopes (山坡) of
a hill. The water is muddy because it washes away soil from the hill slopes.
      Sometimes soil is blown away by strong winds. When the soil is carried away by water or wind, we say
that the land is eroded (侵蚀). This is known as soil erosion.
      Plants cannot grow on eroded land. There is not enough soil on eroded land to give them the things they
need. Plants need water and salts from the soil. 
      We can do a number of things to stop soil erosion. This is called soil conservation (保护).
      One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is to grow small plants such as grasses. Their roots
hold the soil tightly together. Another way is to plant trees around an open field. Thus soil erosion by strong
winds cannot take place. Rows of trees act as a very big wall.
      Soil erosion on slopes can be stopped by cutting "steps" called terraces (梯田). Water carrying soil cannot
run straight down the slope now. It has to run down the terraces. This slows down the flow of the water.
Most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces.
      There are some other ways of soil conservation.
1. On a rainy day the water running down the slopes of a hill is muddy because _____.
[     ]
A. there is no terrace on the slopes
B. there is no small plant on the slopes
C. it washes away soil from the slopes
D. there is too much soil on the slopes
2. Plants cannot grow on eroded land because _____.
[     ]
A. there is a lot of sand
B. there is not enough water and salts
C. there is no water
D. the land is too hard
3. One way of soil conservation on flat, open ground is _____.
[     ]
A. to grow small plants such as grasses
B. to plant trees around an open field
C. to add fertilizer to the soil
D. A and B
4. From the passage we learn that there are _____ ways to reserve soil.
[     ]
A. only three
B. two
C. more than three
D. six
