        When he stopped his car at a traffic light in Basra, Bassam Rady noticed the motorbike with two riders on
    it passed by him slowly. Suddenly the bike turned round and Mr. Rady, feeling dangerous, tried to drive off.
    Before he could, a man on the back of the bike took out a gun from his jacket and fired. The bullet went
    through the windscreen and just missed him. As he sped away another shot was fired, but missed the car.
        Mr. Rady was a interpreter for British army in Iraq. As such, his life is in danger from the militia that once
    controlled the Iraqi city and is now returning.
        More than a year ago Iraqi soldiers, backed by US, brought peace and stability to Basra by driving militants
    over the Iranian border in an operation called Charge of the Knights.
        According to local estimates, however, about half have returned. Although they have not become as active
    as before, the militants are trying to shoot Iraqi citizens who worked with British. Most in danger are
    translators such as Mr. Rady.
        The 31-year-old father worked with soldiers on dangerous missions but was refused resettlement in Britain
    at the end of his employment. He worked with nine translators. Seven of them have been killed.
        "I'm like a cancer patient-now that the militia is back, my family is just waiting for me to die," Mr. Rady
    said. "I see reports in the media that Basra is safe but it's not true. I know these militia people. I went to
    school with some of them. I didn't see them for a year but now they are around again. They have told me,
    'Your day will come soon'." He takes security precautions and never follows a routine. This means that he
    cannot work because that would give the militants a better chance of success. 
        Militiamen belonging to the alMahdi Army took control of Basra between 2004 and 2007 with other Shia
    fighters. They enforced strict Islamic rules at the same time as running criminal rackets. British army was
    unable or unwilling to fight back and eventually went back to their base at the airport.
    1. Mr. Bassam Rady was _____.
    [     ]
    A. a motorbike rider
    B. a car driver
    C. an Iraqi
    D. a British soldier
    2. According to the text, which statement is right?
    [     ]
    A. Iraqi soldiers brought back peace and stability to Basra by driving militants over the Iranian border.
    B. Mr. Bassam Rady didn't feel the danger from the two motorbike riders until he was shot at.
    C. Most translators like Mr. Rady have to face danger from militants every day.
    D. The militants were so strong that British soldiers were unable to fight back.
    3. We can draw the conclusion that Mr.Rady's work in Iraq is very _____.
    [     ]

    A. happy 
    B. tiring
    C. busy
    D. dangerous

    4. This passage may come from _____.
    [     ]
    A. a text book
    B. a newspaper
    C. a history book
    D. an advertisement

         One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
    (a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
         They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
    the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
    appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
         We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
    son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
    He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
         And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
    showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
    my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
         And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
    church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
    around me some day."
          To hear more from these patients and the many others wh. have taken part in the series, explore the links (链接) below to all the Patient Voices we've heard from in the past 12 months.
