     My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my
work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read:"Mm.
Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (視覺(jué)模糊) ever since her medical test this morning." I
smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems. 
     This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming
to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting ( 用......代替) St. John's word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes. 
     My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have
blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She' s probably just anxious, I thought.
Still, she wouldn't have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone. 
     What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called.
Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician
has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred.
Now we know why. 
     Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong,
that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful
that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help.
They pay me to listen, diagnose (診斷), treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust
them too.
1. The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew _____.
A. Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests
B. the patient was being unreasonable
C. the nurse was joking with him
D. Mrs. Jones would call him
2. What has caused Mrs. Jones' eye problem?
A. Wrong glasses.
B. Medical checkup.
C. Her own imagination.
D. Chatting on the Internet.
3. The underlined words "clouded her judgment" in the last paragraph probably mean _____. 
A. made her less trustful toward the doctor
B. put her in control of her own feelings
C. made her less able to think clearly
D. put her in a dangerous situation

     Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this of the Box Bill Tennis Club. It's good to see so
many of you here this evening. I'm sure you're all enjoyed the fine food, and that you are ready to hear our
guest speaker.
     Ladies and gentlemen, we're pleased to welcome our most famous club champion, Billy Rogers, to our
meeting.
     Billy needs no introduction because he is one of the most well-known tennis players in our country.
However, I must mention a few things about him. Billy has won the US Open three times,and Wimbledon
twice. He has won more tennis tournaments (錦標(biāo)賽) than any player from this country. He has been ranked
number one in the world in both singles and doubles. He has played in the Davis Cup and the Hopman Cup
for his country. His Wimbledon victory two years ago has been called one of the bravest in the modern time.
Had he not been injured, he would undoubtedly have won a third Wimbledon Championship. Billy is regarded
by many as perhaps the finest player ever in international tennis.
     But of course Billy is much more than a tennis champion.
     He is like an ambassador for the sport and for his country. He has done great work to help children around
the world,and his generosity to children's charity funds is well known.
     And of course, Billy is the most successful graduate of our club. He won the club championships when
he was twelve-yes, at only twelve. And Billy has not forgotten where it all started. That's why he accepted
our invitation to speak to us tonight. We're proud to have played a small part in Billy's success.
     Won't you please give a big hand to our own Billy Rogers?
1. Why did Billy Rogers not win the third Wimbledon?

     A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal (正面的) attack-when a touch of humor might well
enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly
after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for
Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer.
His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
     Yet, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室); everyone was hard
at work. Sam's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do
you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35
minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"
     The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam
Maynard had saved his job-with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
     Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.
It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do
what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss
subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on
television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
1. Why was Sam late for his job?
A. Because he was ill.
B. Because he got up late.
C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
D. He was busy applying for a new job.
2. The main idea of this passage is _____.
A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor
B. humor is important in our lives
C. early bird gets the worm
D. humor can solve racial discriminations
3. The phrase "clamped off" in Paragraph 3 means _____.
A. tried to hold back
B. tried to set
C. charged
D. gave out
4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?
A. Many lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.
B. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.
C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.
