A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift (轮班) went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “You probably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room, where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefully opened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside. It was engraved (镌刻) with a single word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget.
1.Working on Christmas Eve was considered “a thankless job” because ______.
A. most patients were seriously ill
B. patients refused to express thanks
C. doctors had nothing to do on that day
D. doctors couldn’t get praise for the hard job
2.When the author left the hospital the next morning, Mr. Lee ______.
A. was still in a state of danger
B. was really angry with her
C. got ready to leave the hospital
D. recovered from his heart attack
3.According to the passage, the author formed a habit of ______.
A. celebrating Christmas Eve with her family
B. giving Christmas gifts to the hospital staff
C. spending Christmas Eve with Mr. Lee in hospital
D. ringing the bell for patients in the emergency department
4.Why does the author ring the bell on Christmas Eve?
A. To honor her working experience.
B. To tell kids the traditional custom.
C. To remember an old friend of hers.
D. To show the beginning of the holiday.

BEIJING — Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving upmarket and taking aim at Apple's iPhone. The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (发布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 2, 299 yuan ($375), less than half the 5,288 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.
Xiaomi, founded in 2010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold. The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.
Xiaomi "is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following" in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow.
"Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand," said Blair. "The company that's more at risk is Samsung, which has been losing share in that market."
Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 3 billion yuan ($12.2 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.
Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents(专利).
In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a "rite of passage" (成年礼) for a young company.
1.Which of the following statements is true?
A. Xiaomi sold more cellphones than Samsung in 2010 in China.
B. Compared to Xiaomi, Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.
C. Low-price is Xiaomi's advantage over Apple's iPhones.
D. The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.
2.What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?
A. More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.
B. Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.
C. He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.
D. Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market.
3.How is the 5th paragraph developed?
A. By giving examples.
B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By providing data.
D. By making comparisons.
4.What's the attitude of Jun Lei towards the case of Xiaomi in India?
A. Negative. B. Satisfied.
C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
