“Are you all 3?” I asked.

But when it came to 4 of their problems, things got a little strange. Two of the children had headaches, two children had earaches, 5 only one could tell me which ear was affected. The 6 complained of a cough but seemed to produce it.
I didn't say anything but 7 that it might be a little while 8 a doctor could see her. She responded, “9 your time,” and then added, “It's warm in here.”
Then, I checked their registration form out of curiosity. No address—they were 10. The waiting room was warm.
I went back to the nurse station and mentioned we had a homeless 11 in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining of 12 on Christmas, turned to sympathy for a family just trying to get 13 on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there's a 14 emergency. But this was a Christmas emergency.
We were all 15 a free meal on Christmas Day, so we took back that meal and prepared a big dinner for our 16. We needed presents. We 17 from different departments candies, fruits and other things 18 that could be presents. As seriously as we met the 19 needs of the patients, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas.
Later, as the family walked to the door to 20, the mother came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our angels today.”

【题目】When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie” My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them and we always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull up her hair, she never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss days when she was with us.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her [来源:]to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mum was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mum was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.
My mum went into her business because she had a creative idea. She got orders and filled orders. But there was no purpose and no real strategy(策略). In 1991, my mum' s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either my mum or her partner.
So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you want out of your business. If you don't set goals, how will you know what direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can't keep scores if you don' t know what game you are playing.
After my mom's partner gave up, she had to abandon(抛弃) her business to support herself. She swore(发誓)she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn't a "next time" for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was. She never had an opportunity to be everything that she could be.
There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever that may mean to you.
(1)The author's mum started her own business after she ________.
A.got continuous orders with her friend

A.hoped to restart it after her 51st birthday
B.wanted to find a different partner
C.reflected on her failure
D.didn't work any more
(4)The author writes the text to stress the importance of _________.
