Question

【題目】Read the passage and answer the questions.（根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題)

It was a busy morning about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman came to the hospital. I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment at 9:30 a.m..

The nurse had him take a break in the waiting area, telling him it would be at least 40 minutes before the doctor would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy - my patient didn't turn up at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment. The gentleman said no and told me that actually he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. He told me she had been there for a while and she had a special disease. I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, and that she had not been able to recognize him for five years. I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled and said, "She doesn't know me, but I know who she is." I had to hold back tears as he left.

Now I realize that in a marriage, true love means acceptance (接納）. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just treasure the best of everything they have. Don't wait for a storm to pass, learn how to dance in the rain.

【解析】

這是一則小故事，一位紳士每天早上都去看望自己的妻子，但可惜的是他的妻子并不知道他是誰(shuí)。通過小故事告訴我們一個(gè)道理：生活不是關(guān)于如何度過風(fēng)暴，而是如何在雨中跳舞。

原文I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry for an appointment at 9:30 a.m..（我聽到他對(duì)護(hù)士說他急于在上午9點(diǎn)30分的約會(huì)。）說明在八點(diǎn)半沒有約會(huì)，故填No, he didn't.

【2】句意：在醫(yī)生能夠見他之前，紳士要等多久？

原文The nurse had him take a break in the waiting area, telling him it would be at least 40 minutes before the doctor would be able to see him. （護(hù)士讓他在等候區(qū)休息，告訴他至少40分鐘醫(yī)生才能見他。）說明了等待的時(shí)間，故填(For) at least 40 minutes.

【3】句意：為什么作者首先檢查紳士的傷口？

原文I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy - my patient didn't turn up at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound.（我看到他一直看他的手表，于是我決定，因?yàn)槲疫�不忙，我的病人沒有在指定的時(shí)間出現(xiàn)，我會(huì)檢查他的傷口。）說明了作者為什么要去檢查傷口，故填 Since/Because the author was not busy/his (or her) patient didn't turn up at the appointed hour.

【4】句意：看到醫(yī)生后紳士會(huì)怎么做？

原文The gentleman said no and told me that actually he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.（這位先生說不，告訴我實(shí)際上他需要去養(yǎng)老院和妻子一起吃早餐。）說明了看醫(yī)生后要做到事情，故填He would go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

【5】句意：是什么讓作者感到驚訝？

原文He replied that she no longer knew who he was, and that she had not been able to recognize him for five years.（他回答說她不再知道自己是誰(shuí)，而且她已經(jīng)五年沒能認(rèn)出他了。）說明了作者的驚訝之處（這位紳士每天早上都去，盡管他的妻子不知道他是誰(shuí)。/這位紳士的妻子五年來(lái)一直無(wú)法認(rèn)出他。），故填The gentleman still goes (went) every morning, even though his wife doesn't (didn't) know who he is (was). / The gentleman's wife had not been able to recognize him for five years.

【6】句意：你怎么理解最后一句“生活不是關(guān)于如何度過風(fēng)暴，而是如何在雨中跳舞�！保�

原文Now I realize that in a marriage, true love means acceptance (接納）. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just treasure the best of everything they have. （現(xiàn)在我意識(shí)到，在婚姻中，真正的愛意味著接受。最幸福的人并不一定擁有最好的一切；他們只是珍惜他們所擁有的一切。）是作者的感受，可以談?wù)勛约旱母邢耄�可以說“無(wú)論遇到什么麻煩，我們都應(yīng)該是積極的。生活不僅在挫折中掙扎，而且還盡力享受我們的生活。最幸福的人并不一定擁有最好的一切; 他們只是珍惜他們所擁有的一切�！�，可填：No matter what trouble we meet, we should be positive. Life is not only struggling with setbacks, but also try our best to enjoy the life we have.
