Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy．Of course, this didn't include her when she told me that if I didn't eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn't give me any presents．
But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients．After all, the doctor patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, or so I thought．
I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科)．Mr．McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen．I took a medical history from his daughter who had accompanied him in the ambulance．She'd been his main carer for years．I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history．“Has he lost any weight recently?” I asked, “Well, it's funny you should mention that, but yes．”she said slowly．There was silence for a few moments．“Why? What are you worried about?” she asked．I hesitated．She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth．“Well, we need to prove it's not cancer．” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order．
Half an hour later, a nurse called me：“Mr．McMahon's daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer．” My heart sank．By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer．I stood silently at the end of the bed．My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr．McMahon, she turned to me．“Why on earth did you do that?” she asked to disbelief．I looked at her and bit my lip．“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her．”I said, hanging my head．“And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant．“You don't say the word ‘cancer’ until it's confirmed．Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people．”
As it turned out, it wasn't cancer．But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this．In being truthful, I'd made the situation worse．

In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise．Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm．People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways．That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products．In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources．
Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries．According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades．China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution．It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains．In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil， which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest．In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50％．
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets．First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions and targets for saving and reusing energy．Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development．Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one．

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion-like stress, anger, or frustration．What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity(消极)? Was your mind cluttered with(充斥)different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?
The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop．Yes, that's right, stop．Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute．While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion．
Allow that emotion to consume you．Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion．Don't cheat yourself here．Take the entire minute-but only one minute-to do nothing else but feel that emotion．
When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day? ”
Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly．
If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK．Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion．
When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day．If not, take a deep breath．As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath．
This exercise seems simple-almost too simple．But, it is very effective．By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it．You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs．When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control．You can clear your head and proceed with your task．
(1)
Which one does not belong to the negative emotion?
[ ]
A．
anxiety
B．
confusion
C．
depression

sorrow

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
The story began on a downtown Brooklyn street corner．An elderly man had collapsed while crossing the street, and an ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital．There, when he came to now and again, the man repeatedly called for his son．
From a worn letter located in his pocket, an emergency room nurse learned that his son was a marine stationed in North Carolina．Apparently there were no other relatives．
Someone at the hospital called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn, and a request for the boy to rush to Brooklyn was sent to the Red Cross director of the North Carolina Marine Corps camp．Because time was short－the patient was dying－the Red Cross man and an officer set out in an army vehicle．They found the young man walking through some marshes(沼泽)in a military exercise．He was rushed to the airport in time to catch the only plane that might enable him to reach his dying father．
It was dusk when the young marine walked into the entrance lobby of Kings County Hospital．A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside．
“Your son is here,” she said to the old man．She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened．The medicine he had been given for the pain from his heart attack made his eyes weak and he could only see the shadow of the young man in Marine Corps uniform standing outside the oxygen tent．He reached out his hand．The marine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's weak ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement．The nurse brought a chair, so the marine could sit by the bed．
Nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young marine sat there in the dimly lit ward(病房), holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength．Occasionally, the nurse urged the marine to rest for a while．He refused．
Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of the hospital－the banging of an oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings, the cries and breathing of other patients．Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words．The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son through most of the night．
It was nearly dawn when the patient died．The marine placed the lifeless hand he had been holding on the bed, and went to inform the nurse．While she did what she had to do, he smoked a cigarette, his first since he got to the hospital．
Finally, she returned to the nurse's station, where he was waiting．She started to offer words of sympathy, but the marine interrupted her．“Who was that man?” he asked．
“He was your father,” she answered, shocked．
“No, he wasn't,” the marine replied．“I never saw him before in my life．”
“Why didn't you say something when I took you to him?” the nurse asked．
“I knew immediately there'd been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here．When I realized he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, I guessed he really needed me．So I stayed．”
With that, the marine turned and left the hospital．Two days later a message came in from the North Carolina Marine Corps base informing the Brooklyn Red Cross that the real son was on his way to Brooklyn for his father's funeral．It turned out there had been two marines with the same name and similar numbers in the camp．Someone in the personnel office had pulled out the wrong record．
But the wrong marine had become the right son at the right time．And he proved, in a very human way, that there are people who care what happens to their fellow men．
