题目内容

  Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者).The training I received,though excellent,did not tell me how it was to work with a real student,however.When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read,I realized the true importance of reading.

  My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three.In the first lesson,I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take.When I told her I would get her a bus schedule(时刻表),she told me it would not help because she could not read it.She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed.Since she did not know words,she could not write out a shopping list.Also,she could only recognize items by sight,so if the product had a different label(标识),she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.

  As we worked together,learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence(自信心),which encouraged her to continue in her studies.She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket.After this successful trip,she reported how self-confident she felt.At the end of the program,she began helping her youngest son,Tony,a shy first grader,with his reading.She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories.When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read,pride was written all over her face,and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off.As she described this experience,I was proud of myself as well.I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.

  As a literacy volunteer,I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others.In fact,I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

  As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been  16 only once — for a woman who had merely fainted. But the  17 made me quite curious about how  18 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if  19 with a real midair medical emergency — without access  20 a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So  21 the New England Journal of Medicine last week  22 a study about in-flight medical events, I read it  23 interest.

  The study estimated that there are a(n)  24 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not  25 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 26 13% of them — roughly four a day — are serious enough to  27 a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies  28 heart trouble, strokes, and difficulty breathing.

  Let’s face it: plane rides are  29 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly    30 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty  31 , but passengers with heart disease  32 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood.  33 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis — the so-called economy class syndrome (综合症).  34 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation (立法), flights with at    35 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.
