9、alls on the home line, and she left to take Alyce to school ten minutes ago), or it was the latest of 300 attempts to sell me something I had absolutely no interest in. “Hello,” I said, an edge in my voice. 12-year-old daughter, “Mommy was just in a car accident.” My heart stopped and then began pou

10、nding. “Are you all right?” “Yes.” “Is Mommy?” A deep sob. “I dont knowI dont think so. Come quick.” I rushed a few blocks to what looked like a shoot for a disaster movie. Fire engines, police cars, and ambulances were randomly parked in the street; helicopters circled. A city bus was on the wrong

11、side of the road. In front of it were the smashed remains of Susans car. Susan was pinned under the dashboard (仪表盘). There was no front windshield (挡风玻璃). Alyce was standing on the corner crying, covered in tiny pieces of glass but uninjured. Inconceivable! Susan wasnt so lucky. But she was alive. I

12、t turned out that she had broken nearly every bone in her body, and she would spend almost three months in the hospital. More than two years later, Susan and I were at a musical event. Our director, Danny, rushed up to us. He said excitedly, “Theres a woman here tonight from one of the church choirs

13、 who you have to meet!” He returned with an African American woman with a bright, glowing smile. She told us she lived in the apartment building by where the accident had happened. That morning, she had rushed to the street, still in her bathrobe, and seen Alyce standing by the side of the wrecked c

14、ar, crying. She approached her, asking, “Is that your mom in there?” Alyce nodded, and the woman said, “Lets pray together.” Sweet, innocent Alyce looked at this woman wearing a cross around her neck and told her that she needed to call me, but her backpack with her phone was trapped inside the crus

15、hed vehicle. So the woman lent Alyce her phone. After the accident, she said, she had continued to pray for our family. We had our picture taken together, and as we were saying goodbye, she hugged us all warmly. We realized we had never been formally introduced, so she said to me, “Im sorry, I never

16、 got your name.” I told her it was Doug, and she paused, as if maybe she hadnt heard me. I repeated, “Doug, like Douglas.” She looked at us and said, “Wait, your name is Susan?” Susan nodded. “And your name is Douglas?” The woman put her hand over her heart. “Oh my goodness,” she said. “My name is S

20、turns away a physically challenged woman, a stranger makes a truly beautiful gesture, “Beauty isnt about having a pretty face. Its about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul, oh, and pretty nails!” That may well be Angela Peters motto. Last July, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair

21、into a nail salon at the Walmart shopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of painting her fingers. But Peters was turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of happiness

22、for Peters was now a disappointment. Ebony Harris, 40, saw everything and approached Peters. Harris offered to do her nails. They shopped for nail polish. They settled on a bright blue- a colour that would catch every eye. They then made their way into a neighbouring Subway, found a table for two, a

23、nd set up shop. Harris gently took Peters hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails. Watching it al with awe and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters nails, all the while chatting as if they

24、 were old friends. Peters, who runs a poetry website, , harbors no bitterness towards the nail salon that turned her away. The salon says they refused to offer Peters service because they were too busy. “When people do us wrong, we must forgive,” Peters wrote on her website. “I just want to educate

D It is an uncomfortable fact that civilized society is almost completely dependent upon fossil fuels in nearly every aspe

28、ct. Whether you believe there are hundreds of years or just a few decades left of this resource, the fact remains that it is a limited resource. At some point, fossil fuels are going to either be gone or become too expensive to realistically use. That is, when fossil fuels become too expensive to us

29、e, people will just start using something else. Though this may work well in theory, actually shifting from fossil fuels is not the same as shifting from one brand of shampoo to another. This is entirely due to the fact that humans rely so much on the infrastructure (基础设施) they have developed, which

30、 is entirely dependent upon this resource, accounting for 85% of the United States energy use. If the world were entirely dependent upon solar energy, that would be fine because sunlight is a continuing resource. However, at the current state of things, humans are in a dangerous position owing to it

31、s complete dependence upon one single limited input. Fossil fuels are also responsible for a significant amount of land, water, and air pollution beyond their carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) production. For example, coal mining brings solid wastes to the surface that would normally remain underground and the

32、areas around a mine can remain barren (贫瘠的) for generations due to the lack of proper topsoil. The burning of coal for energy also produces many different types of particulate (微粒的) matter that pollutes the air. Compared with fossil fuels, renewable energy is far more environmentally friendly. There

33、 exists an argument that renewable energy options are not as efficient as fossil fuels because the deployment (部署) of renewable energy equipment like the wind turbine (风力涡轮机) costs a lot of money. However, when factors such as pollution and climate change are considered, renewable energy is actually

34、 far more efficient than fossil fuels. And fossil fuels will be surely replaced by renewable energy whether it is your generation or your grandchildrens.32.

To introduce how carbon dioxide affects the environment.D. To explain why fossil fuels should be used.35. What is the text mainly

37、about?A. Renewable energy equipment is economically-beneficial.B. Renewable energy produces less energy than fossil fuels.C. It is very urgent for people to shift to renewable energy.D. It is an unstoppable trend to use renewable energy. E Twenty minutes isnt even enough time to catch a lecture of T

38、he Big Bang Theory. Yet for many people, thats the amount of face time theyll get with their doctors all year. 36 During the time, try to ask the confusing questions, which is the key to staying healthy in between checkups.What happens if I dont take the medicine? Many patients feel medicine should

39、be taken when theyre obviously sick, and skip it when they feel they have recovered. But some conditions take months or even years to be completely removed. In such case, even if you dont have symptoms, dont skip medicine. 37 Does the medicine interact with my supplements (增补物)? Many patients assume

40、 that supplements like vitamins or herbs are helpful and wont interact with their medicine. Thats a dangerous assumption. Therere many drug interactions with herbs and nutrients. Patients on certain antidepressants (抗抑郁剂), for example, should not take herbs like St. Johns wort (圣约翰麦汁).What changes c

41、an I make to improve my condition? Diet, exercise, sleep, and stress are all huge elements that impact health and are all completely under a patients control. 39 But in almost every case, your health can be improved with changes to those four elements. 40 Your treatment can be a journey, and you sho
