I opened my new patient's chart and headed for her room. My son, Eric, had just brought home a disappointing report card, and my daughter, Shannon, and I had argued again about her getting a driver's license. For the next eight hours I wanted to throw myself into helping people who I knew had much more to worry about than I did. Rebekah, mother of three lovely little girls, was only 32, admitted for chemotherapy after breast-cancer surgery, When I gave her an injection, Rebekah shut her eyes tightly and murmured a prayer until it was over. Then she smiled and squeezed my hand. “Before you go, could you get my Bible from the table?" I handed her the worn book. "Do you have a favorite Bible verse?" she asked. "Jesus wept. John 11: 35." "Such a sad one," she said. "Why?""It makes me feel closer to Jesus, knowing he also experienced human sorrow." Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her Bible as I shut the door quietly behind me.

During the following months, her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children. One day when I entered her room, I found her talking into a tape recorder. She picked up a notebook and held it out to me. "I'm making a tape for my daughters, " she said. I read the list on her pad: starting school, confirmation, turning 16, first date, graduation. While I worried how to help her deal with death, she was planning for her children's future. She usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions. She filled them with family stories and advice，trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours. Finally, every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband.

I often wondered what I would say in her place. My kids joked that I was like an FBI agent, with my constant questions about where they’d been and who they’d been with. Where, I thought, are my words of encouragement and love?

It was three o'clock one afternoon when I got an urgent call from the hospital. Rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape. She was breathing hard when I entered her room. I slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips. "Ruthie, Hannah, Molly, this is the most important tape." She held my hand and closed her eyes. "Someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy. Please make her feel special. Show her how to take care of you. Ruthie, honey, help her get your Brownie uniform ready each Tuesday. Hannah, tell her you don't want meat sauce on your spaghetti. Molly, don't get mad if there's no apple juice. Drink something else. It's okay to be sad, sweeties. Jesus cried too. He knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again. Remember, I'll always love you. I shut off the recorder and Rebekah sighed deeply. "Thank you, Nan, "You'll give this one to them, won't you?" she murmured as she slid into sleep.

A time would come when the tape would be played for Rebekah's children, but right then, after I smoothed Rebekah's blanket, I got in my car and hurried home. I thought of how my Shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk, which had annoyed me so many times, seemed to make her so much more precious. That night the kids didn't go out; they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes. And we talked, without interrogations, without complaints，late into the night.

Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive，hardly knowing whether to return or move forward，when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent．It was a tall young man，smoking

 He had an almost black face，though red and smooth．His moustache was black with curled points，though he could not be more than twenty, three or—four．There was an unusual force in his face，and in his daring rolling eyes．w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.

 Well，my beauty, what can I do for you?’said he，coming forward．And seeing that she was quite m a loss：'Never mind me. I am Mr.d’Urberville,．Have you come to see me or my mother?’

  This differed greatly from what Tess had expected．She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face．She tried to keep calm and answered —I came to see your mother, sir．

  I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed, replied the representative of the house；for this was Mr．Alee, the only son of the noble family．’What is the business you wish to see her about?’ w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.

 “It isn't business—it is—I can hardly say what!”

 “Pleasure?”

 “Oh no．Why, sir if tell you, it will seem—”

 Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here，her rosy lips curved(弯曲)towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man．

 “It is so foolish，she stammered(急急巴巴地说)：“I fear 1 can't tell you!”

  “Never mind；I like foolish things．Try again，my dear’said he kindly．

 “Mother asked me to come，’Tess continued；and，indeed，I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this．I came，sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you”

“Ho! Poor relations?’

“Yes．”

“Stokes?”

“No; d’Urbervilles.”

“Ay, ay；I mean d'Urbervilles．”

“Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d’Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are, —and—and we have an old seal（印章）and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.”

“Very kind of your mother, I’m sure,” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy.  “And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?”

“I suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

“Well—there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?

­—Tess of the d’Urbervilles By Thomas Hardy

67，How does Tess feel in the whole course of the meeting with Alec?

 A．Excited and hopeful．      B．Nervous and uncomfortable．

68．In the eyes of Tess，Alec is         ．

 A．forceful and daring           B．unfriendly and talkative

 C．a gentle and reliable man     D．older than she had expected

69．Why does Tess pay the visit to the d’Urbervilles?    

 A．To see Alec himself．

 B．To see Alec's mother．

 C．To confirm that are of the same family．

 D．To make known their relationship and seek help．

阅读下面材料，David、Lucy、Carl、Nancy和Ruby都有一些与健康有关的困惑.阅读第63至第67题中的个人情况说明和A到F六则不同建议，选出符合个人情况的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余选项.

81.       David: When I have a headache, a nap helps. Sometimes, though, it causes a headache. Why?

82.       Lucy: My sister says I drink too much tea. Is that possible?

83.       Carl: I get back and neck pain whenever I’m driving. How can I adjust my seat to prevent it?

84.       Nancy: My favorite sports drink now comes with protein, will it help me when I run?

85.       Ruby: I’ve seen some drugstore products for cleaning toothbrushes. I never clean mine. Is that OK?

A

There’s no proof that toothbrush germ will hurt you. Microwaving or running your brush through the dishwasher only damages the brushes, too. All you really need to do is to rinse(冲刺)your brush thoroughly after each use, and throw it away after 3 to 4 months-or sooner if it’s looking worn. Store it standing upright, uncovered, where it can air out.

B

One third of people who eat ice cream get a headache. “Brain freeze” happens when something is too cold in the roof of your mouth. The cold causes blood vessels in your brain to expand, sparking a headache. Keep the ice cream toward the front of your mouth, and enjoy each bite slowly. That may avoid such a headache.

C

Some reports say that tea can reduce the iron amount you absorb from food by up to 70 percent. But, as long as you’re not drinking more than four 8-ounce cups a day, there’s no reason to worry. People can get plenty of iron from cereals, meat and multivitamins.

D

Make the seat back upright so that your lower back presses comfortably against it. Then move the seat forward enough that you don’t have to stretch out for the pedals(踏板), but not so close that you hang over the heels like a little old lady. Your hands should be just below shoulder height when they’re at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions.

E

You’re right. A nap is a great way to reduce a headache, especially the tension kind that’s most common. But just as there are two sides to every coin, a nap can also bring on a headache. That’s why specialists advise people not to oversleep. Stick as closely as you can to a regular sleep schedule.

F

It may help you feel better after you run. In a recent study, researchers gave two kinds of sports drinks-one regular and one with protein. Those who had the protein sports drink kept 15 percent more fluids(液体)than those on an ordinary sports drink. In the study, benefits of the protein drink continued for 3 hours, and researchers believe the effect could last a whole day.
