As the only physician in a small local clinic and hospital, Katrina Poe sees dozens of patients on any given day. She’s on call at the hospital in Kilmichael every day, and she gets little time with her sons, aged 3 and 3 months. But the country doctor doesn’t complain about her job. It’s the one she chose for herself 25 years ago while she was a fifth-grader in Kilmicahael.

The daughter of two workers in a town that had produced only two other doctors, Poe might not have been expected to go to college at all, let alone medical school. But it was a challenge at first, being the town’s first female and first black doctor. She even had patients who refused to see her at first. But a lot of those patients who were unwilling in the beginning are now some of her most favorite patients and have accepted her, finally. Many patients, in fact, now refuse to seek health care elsewhere.

Though she’s working at least 80 hours a week, Poe is sorry that she sometimes has to turn patients away. “I just can’t see everybody,” she says. “I’m seeing patients after hours, so it’s just very busy.”

In addition to her work at the hospital and clinic, Poe cares for all residents of the local nursing home and the local mental health facility during monthly visits. “This town and the little hospital are fortunate to have her,” says Calvin Johnson, Poe’s husband. He says it is without a doubt “the love and support of the people” that make living in Kilmichael worthwhile for the family.

In recognition of her services to rural medicine, the Texas-based physician staffing firm Staff Care Inc. named Poe, 35, the “2005 Country Doctor of the Year.”

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

       A.Poe is too busy to spare time for her family.

       B.Poe decided to be a doctor when she was in Grade 5.

       C.There are three doctors in Poe’s family.

       D.Poe’s husband takes pride in her.

2.When Katrina Poe began her work at the beginning, it was difficult because __________.

       A.she was not accepted by the local people

       B.she was poor in medical skills

       C.there were few patients in the town

       D.the town had other good hospitals

3.What would be the best title for the passage?

       A.The Only Physician in A Town

       B.A Black Doctor Popular with Patients

       C.A Hard-working Doctor in a Town

       D.Doctors in Great Need in Kilmichael

  A successful scientist is generally a good observer.He makes full   1   of the facts he observes.He doesn't accept ideas which are not   2   on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority(权威)as the only   3   for truth.He always   4   ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.

  The rise of   5   science may be considered to   6   as far back as the   7   of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher(哲学家)of Oxford, who lived   8   the years 1214 and 1292.He was probably the first in the middle   9   to suggest that we must learn science   10   observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself   11   many important discoveries.

  Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later, was the greatest of several great man,   12   in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by   13   to show how many important   14   could be discovered by observation.Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more   15   towards the earth than small ones,   16   Aristotle said so.But Galileo, going to the   17   of the learning Tower of Pisa, let fall two   18   stones and proved Aristotle was wrong.It was Galileo's   19   of going direct to Nature, and proving our   20   and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.

One day in my class,Maria shared her feelings about money,“Money worries me.I think I want to live without money because I hate it.I HATE MONEY.”We were all touched by Maria's words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us.After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems.She hesitated to accept my offer,and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve.I quickly promised her that I wouldn't make her do more than she was able to.I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn't burden her with guilt,judgments,or impossible tasks.All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.

Maria still resisted my offer,and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people.“I'll never understand money,”she said.“My facts are meaningless.”“I don't deserve to have money.”“I never have enough.”“I have too little to manage.”“My financial position isn't worth looking at.”and the most devastating one of all,“I just can't do it.”

Going home that day,I couldn't get Maria out of my mind:her attitude conveyed the same negativity and  fear that I believed annoyed many people.I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively.My counseling(咨询)has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self??doubts and fear for survival.Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don't believe we can do it well,and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.

On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life,but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were.It locks us up in self??doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power,our spirit.

The underlined word“devastating”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A.convincing     B.interesting     C.shocking       D.valuable

Maria's words moved the author and others because they were ________.

A.in the same financial trouble          B.in the same financial condition

C.of the same family background      D.of the same feeling over the issue

As for money managing,the author intended to tell Maria how to ________.

A.overcome her fears                B.make wise decisions

C.avoid making mistakes           D.learn the necessary skills

Maria wouldn't take the author's offer of help for fear of________.

A.being forced to share her money with others

B.having to do something beyond her reach

C.being found guilty of making impossible errors

D.showing her judgment about money

According to the author,people's anxieties about managing money result from their understanding of money as the only source of ________.

A.life        B.values   C.spirit                    D.power

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.

In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely―a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice.”

“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”

Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.

1. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?

A. She had seven brothers.                 B. She felt herself a nobody.

C. She was too shy to go to school.           D. She did not have any good teachers.

2.The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.

A. develop her writing style         B. run away from her family

C. make a lot of friends             D. search for a husband

3.According to Cisneros, what was the key factor in her success?

A. Her early years in college.                B. Her training in the Workshop.

C. Her childhood experience               D. Her feeling of being different.

4.What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?

A. It is quite popular among students.

B. It is a book of poetry written by Cisneros.

C. It wasn’t a success as it was written in Spanish.

D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.
