11．Recently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated，and what kind of job prospects they thought they had．
Given that I teach students who are trained to be doctors，I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without"outside help"．"What kind of help is that？"I asked，expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out．
"Surgery（外科手术）"，one replied．I was pretty alarmed by that response．It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job．One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height．"They break your legs，put in special extending screws，and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows．You can get at least 5 cm taller!"
At that point，I was shocked．I am short．I can't deny that，but I don't think I would put myself through months of pain just to be a few centimeters taller．I don't even bother to wear shoes with thick soles，as I'm not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!
It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting"perfection"，and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality．
No one is born perfect，yet magazines，TV shows and movies present images of thin，tall，beautiful people as being the norm（标准）．Advertisements for slimming aids，beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers，further creating an idea that"perfection"is a requirement，and that it must be purchased，no matter what the cost．In my opinion，skills，rather than appearance，should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career．

8．One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．Unlike other gifts，it came without wrap（包装）．
On September 11th，1958，Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital，she put him in my lap，saying．"I promised you a gift，and here it is．"What an honor!None of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I played with it day and night．I sang to it．I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning，however，I found its bed empty．My doll was gone!I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever．For several days，I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless"，"pitiful"，and"dying"，which sounded ominous．
Christmas was coming．"Don't expect any presents this year．"Dad said，pointing at the socks I hung in the living room．"If your baby brother lives，that'll be Christmas enough．"As he spoke，his eyes were filled with tears．I'd never seen him cry before．
The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say．"What？He's all right？"He hung up and shouted upstairs．"The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God．'"I heard Mum cry．
From the upstairs window，I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen them happy．And I was also full of joy．What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home．I ran downstairs．My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty； they were filled with love!

12．She once said："When people ask me if writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying，"the end is nothing； the road is all．'"That is what I mean when I say writing has been a pleasure．I have never faced the type-writer （打字机） with the thought that one more task had to be done．"

"It's a rather strange thing about the flat country，"she wrote later．"It takes hold of you，or it leaves you perfectly cold．A great many people find it very dull； they like a church tower，an old factory，a waterfall country all made to look like a German，Christmas card…But when I come to the open plains，something happens．I'm home．I breathe differently．"

B．It was a colorful world of wild flowers．
C．It was like a German Christmas card
D．It was vast，open，flat and wild．
