         When I was an educational official in Palo Alto, California, Polly Tyner, the president of our
    school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times. Polly's son, Jim, had great
    difficulty in school. He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of
    patience on the part of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that
    lit up the room. His paront8 acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him
    see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was
    killed in a motorcycle accident. After his death, his mother submitted (提交) letter to the newspaper.
         Today we buried our 20-yeer-old son. He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on
    Friday night. How I with I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I
    had only known I would have said, "Jim, I love you and I'm very proud of you"
         I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many
    who loved him. I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his
    laughter, hit genuine love of people.
         When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena
    such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn't to our liking, the dirty socks
    under the bed, etc., your angry feelings won't amount to much.
         I won't get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to bear, but, ether
    parents, you do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you
    knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died. He
    called me to say, "Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you. Got to go to work. Bye." He gave me
    something to treasure forever
         If there is any purpose at all for Jim's death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life
    and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much
    we care.
    1. Accosting to the passage, we know that ______.
    A. Jim kept to himself                
    B. Jim did very well in his studies
    C. Jim a parents were patient with him    
    D. Jim failed to finish his high school
    2. By writing the letter printed in the Pain Alto Times, the author intends to ______.
    A. mourn her son's sudden death in a traffic accident
    B. remind people to be cautious of motorcycles
    C. advise people to take the chance to express their love in time
    D. appreciate more of life than ever before
    3. What can be the best title of the passage?
    A. Love your Family.                  
    B. Do it Today.
    C. Walk with Pride.                    
    D. Appreciate Smiles.
    4. The underlined word "irritating" in Paragraph 4 means ______.

    A. annoying
    B. aggressive
    C. impatient
    D. thrilling

         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."
