19．A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital's emergency department．No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve，so the shift（轮班） went to me．I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital．It was a thankless job．
At 9pm，the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack．His face was pale，and he was frightened．The whole night I did my best to save his life．Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family，I stopped by to see how he was doing．It was still tough，but he had survived the night and was sleeping．
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again．At 9pm sharp，the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me．When I approached them，the man introduced himself as Mr．Lee and said，"You probably don't remember me，but last Christmas Eve you saved my life．Thank you for the year you gave me．"He and his wife hugged me，handed me a small gift，and left．
The following year a new doctor had joined the group，but I wanted to see if Mr．and Mrs．Lee would return．This time，I volunteered for the shift．I kept an eye on the door．Once again，at exactly 9pm，the Lees appeared，carrying a warmly wrapped bundle．It was their new grandchild．Mr．Lee，his family and I spent 13Christmas Eves together．In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room，where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve．
The last year I saw him，he brought me a gift．I carefully opened the package and found a crystal （水晶） bell inside．It was engraved （镌刻） with a single word：Friendship．Now，my family，friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won't forget．

B．patients refused to express thanks
C．doctors had nothing to do on that day
D．doctors couldn't get praise for the hard job

A．was still in a state of danger
B．was really angry with her
C．got ready to leave the hospital

A．To honor her working experience．
B．To tell kids the traditional custom．
C．To remember an old friend of hers．

4．The Process of Ageing
At the age of twelve years，the human body is at its most vigorous．It has yet to reach its full size and strength，and its owner his or her full intelligence； but at this age the possibility of death is least．Earlier，we were infants and young children，and consequently more vulnerable （易受伤的）； later，we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigour and resistance which，though vague at first，will finally become so steep that we can live no longer，however well we look after ourselves，and however well society，and our doctors，look after us．
This decline in vigour with the passing of time is called ageing．It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way，that if we escape wars，accidents and disease we shall eventually"die of old age"，and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person，so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty．Some of us will die sooner，a few will live longer----on into a ninth or tenth decade．But the chances are against it，and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive，however lucky and physically strong we are．
Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it．We are so familiar with the fact that man ages，that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigour with time，of becoming more likely to die the older we get，was something self-evident，like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes．They have also assumed that all animals，and probably other organisms such as trees，or even the universe itself，must in the nature of things"wear out"．
Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do，if given the chance to live long enough； and mechanical systems like a wound （上发条的） watch，or the sun，do in fact an out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics （热力学）．But these are not similar or equivalent to what happens when man ages．A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound．An old watch，by contrast，becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending．But a watch could never repair itself-it does not consist of living parts，only of metal，which wears away by friction （摩擦）．We could，at one time，repair ourselves-well enough，at least，to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents．Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power，an illness which at twelve would knock us over，at eighty can knock us out，and into our grave．If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve，it would take about 700 years for half of us to die，and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again．
