Of course, this didnt include her when she told me that if I didnt eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldnt 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 baby was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who had accompanied him in the ambulance. Shed 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, its 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 its 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. McMahons daughter broke downshe 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 in 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 dont say the word cancer until its confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people. As it turned out, it wasnt cancer. But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one theyre sometimes selective in what they hearand as a doctor its important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, Id made the situation worse. 51. The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author_.

But Hells Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor. Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls - and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. I wasnt a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life, he says. He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒吧服务员). My father said, Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter. “But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft. Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hells Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brothers killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay. His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America. Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary. Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three - Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells Kitchen. At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. If you have something you want to do in life, dont think about the problems, he says, think about other ways to get it done. 55.

A write with enduring popularityC. Well-received creation to encourage Brits D. The insight into human natureE. Writing styles in different stages F. The story appreciate for school students61.Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of Englands great writers. Yet for many his language is old-fashioned and his story plots often improbable. Why, Dickens, out of so many other great English writers, has made the list? How then to explain Dickenss enduring popularity?62. One reason undoubtly is the British governments insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at school. Alongside Willian Shakespeare, Charles Dickens is a compulsory (必读的)writer on every English literature school reading list. His stories, though often over-long by todays standard,are superbly written moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.63. But what makes his books stand out from other English writers is his insight into human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behavior that are as true to citizens of the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century. Readers have returned to Dickenss books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about readersown time.64. The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect story to illustrate the bad times. No surprise then that it was Dickens Britons turned to, during the economic crisis last year, to make sense of world rapidly falling apart.65. Readers of the 19th and early 20th century usually prized Dickenss earlier novels for their humor and pathos(悲痛). While recognizing the virtues of these books, critics today tend to rank more highly the later works because of their formal coherence and acute perception(洞察力) of the human condition. For as long as Dickenss novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britains best loved writers.参考答案第二部分 （50分，每小题2分）4145 ACDBD 4650 DACDC 5155 CAACA 5660 CDABA 61-65：BFDCE*结束
