　　EVERYTHING has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear .There were 2,601 cases recorded on the Chinese mainland on April, according to government report. 115 people have died and numbers keep rising .

　　But, there is another side.

　　SARS is a reminder of how fragile life can be. Suddenly, it's not just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.

　　Wang Xinying, a student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province came into contact with a suspected SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. “Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable and I'm going to treasure every single day. ” he said.

　　SARS teaches people to be grateful, both for their own lives and for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected patients. As a result, more than one fifth of SARS cases in China are medical workers.

　　Xu Bing, a student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School wants to be a doctor in the future. “Although they certainly know the dangers, doctors and nurses kept working hard on saving people's lives. I'm deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes. ” he said.

　　SARS also teaches sympathy. The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and robberies. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9.11.

　　And finally, SARS offers the chance to grow. All different kinds of people and the governments are joining together to work in this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people, will have learned great lessons.

(1) What does the sentence“Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow. ” mean?

It means life is easy to ___1____ and we must ___2___ our life.

(2) How long was Wang Xinying t01d to stay at home?
