A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits. Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep his company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times. When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “ I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?” But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “ The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.
1.What kind of people do volunteers attend to in Deathbed Care?
A. The patient in need of operations.
B. The people suffering from cancer.
C. The people suffering from diseases.
D. The patient without many days left.
2.What can we infer about the old man according to Paragraph 2?
A. He had abundant savings and he was cheerful.
B. He frequently lost his temper before he met the girl.
C. He was suffering from cancer and helped a poor girl.
D. He asked the doctor to help the girl finish her study.
3.What is the real reason resulting in the old man’s mental improvement?
A. His children’s progress in their career.
B. The intravenous drip that he had every Saturday.
C. The pleasure of being helpful to people in need.
D. The girl’s good comfort and care in his daily life.
4.Why did the girl take the old man’s money?
A. To keep him in high spirits.
B. To continue her schooling.
C. To gather experience on voluntary work.
D. To involve him actively in the treatment.

At thirteen,I was diagnosed with kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me.When people else in the class was focusing on tasks,I could not.
In my first literature class,Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it,all within 45 minutes.I raised my hard right away and said,“Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses,“you are no different from your classmates,young man.”

Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class,being made to learn like the “sighted” students?My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed,I was no different from others;I just needed a quieter place.If Louis could find his way out of his problems,why should I ever give up?
