Question

【题目】Read the passage and answer the questions.（根据短文内容回答下列问题)

It was a busy morning about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment at 9:30 a.m..

The nurse had him take a break in the waiting area, telling him it would be at least 40 minutes before the doctor would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy - my patient didn't turn up at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment. The gentleman said no and told me that actually he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. He told me she had been there for a while and she had a special disease. I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, and that she had not been able to recognize him for five years. I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled and said, "She doesn't know me, but I know who she is." I had to hold back tears as he left.

Now I realize that in a marriage, true love means acceptance (接纳）. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just treasure the best of everything they have. Don't wait for a storm to pass, learn how to dance in the rain.

【解析】

这是一则小故事，一位绅士每天早上都去看望自己的妻子，但可惜的是他的妻子并不知道他是谁。通过小故事告诉我们一个道理：生活不是关于如何度过风暴，而是如何在雨中跳舞。

【1】句意：这位年长的绅士在8点30分有一个约会，不是吗？

原文I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment at 9:30 a.m..（我听到他对护士说他急于在上午9点30分的约会。）说明在八点半没有约会，故填No, he didn't.

【2】句意：在医生能够见他之前，绅士要等多久？

原文The nurse had him take a break in the waiting area, telling him it would be at least 40 minutes before the doctor would be able to see him. （护士让他在等候区休息，告诉他至少40分钟医生才能见他。）说明了等待的时间，故填(For) at least 40 minutes.

【3】句意：为什么作者首先检查绅士的伤口？

原文I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy - my patient didn't turn up at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound.（我看到他一直看他的手表，于是我决定，因为我还不忙，我的病人没有在指定的时间出现，我会检查他的伤口。）说明了作者为什么要去检查伤口，故填 Since/Because the author was not busy/his (or her) patient didn't turn up at the appointed hour.

【4】句意：看到医生后绅士会怎么做？

原文The gentleman said no and told me that actually he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.（这位先生说不，告诉我实际上他需要去养老院和妻子一起吃早餐。）说明了看医生后要做到事情，故填He would go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

【5】句意：是什么让作者感到惊讶？

原文He replied that she no longer knew who he was, and that she had not been able to recognize him for five years.（他回答说她不再知道自己是谁，而且她已经五年没能认出他了。）说明了作者的惊讶之处（这位绅士每天早上都去，尽管他的妻子不知道他是谁。/这位绅士的妻子五年来一直无法认出他。），故填The gentleman still goes (went) every morning, even though his wife doesn't (didn't) know who he is (was). / The gentleman's wife had not been able to recognize him for five years.

【6】句意：你怎么理解最后一句“生活不是关于如何度过风暴，而是如何在雨中跳舞。”？

原文Now I realize that in a marriage, true love means acceptance (接纳）. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just treasure the best of everything they have. （现在我意识到，在婚姻中，真正的爱意味着接受。最幸福的人并不一定拥有最好的一切；他们只是珍惜他们所拥有的一切。）是作者的感受，可以谈谈自己的感想，可以说“无论遇到什么麻烦，我们都应该是积极的。生活不仅在挫折中挣扎，而且还尽力享受我们的生活。最幸福的人并不一定拥有最好的一切; 他们只是珍惜他们所拥有的一切。”，可填：No matter what trouble we meet, we should be positive. Life is not only struggling with setbacks, but also try our best to enjoy the life we have. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just treasure the best of everything they have.
