As a boy，Tim was much influenced by books about the sea, but in fact by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a dentist and as a result Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere. When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic of a local doctor where he was supposed to be helping to wrap up medicine bottles，but was actually trying to listen to the conversations taking place between the doctor and his patients in the next room.

      During the war Tim served in the Navy as a surgeon（外科医生）.“That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with very real suffering and on the whole making a success of it .”In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skills to himself and his ability to take decisions. Thus ，while he was able to tell them what to do ， he could feel he was serving them. After the war ，he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside，working under an old doctor who was popular in the area， but who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith. This gave the younger man many opportunities to go on working as a life –saver.

      A．his father wanted him to be so

      B．his father was a surgeon himself

      C．he had read many books about medicine

2．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

      B．Tim continued working as a surgeon after the war.

      C．Before the war，Tim worked as a doctor at a local clinic.

      D．While working in California，Tim taught life-saving to the patients.

3．From the passage we can infer that Tim        .

      A．was sent to Europe during the war

      B．worked as a surgeon during the war

      C．was not afraid of seeing blood

      D．decided to give up medicine for faith

“Tear them apart!” “kill the fool!” “Murder the referee (裁判)!”

      These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made，they may seem innocent enough .But let’ s not kid ourselves, They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real violence. Books have been written about the way words affect us .It has been shown that words having certain meanings may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual behavior. I see the term“opponent”as one of those words . Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports term.

      The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent”is “enemy”，or“one who opposes your interests.”Thus，when a player meets an opponent，he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player went away to rub（磨擦）his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then screamed.“Are they wet enough now？”

      In the heat of battle，players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the effect that such a move might have on anyone in their way .I have also witnessed

a player reacting to his opponent’s intentional and illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play .Off the court，they are good friends. Does that make any sense？It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior.

      Therefore ，I believe it is time we elevated（提升）the game to the level where it belongs，setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent”with “associate”could be a good way to start，

      The dictionary meaning of the term“associate”is“friend”or“companion.”You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to term “associate”rather than“opponent”.

Depression (抑郁症) is a serious problem today. Depression causes workers to be unproductive，causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread，costly and deadly”，Depression hits one person in five around the world

      Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated，studies show that depression is a problem among everyone. Over any six-month period，between five to seven percent of the world’s population will be suffering from a serious depression.

      Suicide（自杀）rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme，or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large ，and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping ，getting up on time ，and doing work productively.

      Depression，which researchers agree has its origin in the genes （基因），brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.

      Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese’s inability to face it .Many people believe that depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides，there is no good treatment ，with few specialists available.

      “Most patients in China just don’t get help，”a Chinese doctor says，“In my hospital，I have to see 30 or 40 patients in a morning ，just have time to say‘Hello ，how do you feel？’”

      In Western countries ，people are not afraid to admit that they have depression ，but most do not tell it to their boss，because they fear that their boss would fire them.

      “In my experience ，aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it ，because they feel the most secure about themselves，”an American doctor says.

      Hopefully，in the near future ，people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment.
