One day, I went to see my last patient, an old woman. In the doorway, I saw she was trying to put socks on her feet. I stepped in and spoke quickly to the nurse. I was almost in the clear that she was not in serious condition.
I asked, Could I help put on your socks? How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they are better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son. He’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit. I think you really look forward to seeing him."
“Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours.” She said in a serious voice.
I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the comer from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that was the main cause of her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are simple. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others don’t have clear ends. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matter to the story teller is that the story is heard—without interruption(打断) or judgment(评价).
It was that woman who taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected accident, I became a patient. 20 years later, I sit all the time—in a wheelchair.
For as long as I could. I continued to see patients from my chair. I believe in the power of listening.How did the doctor know that the old woman’s son was visiting her?

What did the old woman think caused her health problems?
| A．Her son’s not seeing her. |
| B．No one listening to her story. |
| C．The medical care of the hospital. |

| A．keeping smiling |
| B．interruption or judgment |

In Germany there are different kinds of high schools. Some prepare students for workers, others prepare them for college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.
Short days

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一词。（共10题，每题1分，计10分）
Height is just one of the thousands of things your genes(基因）decide.In fact,because you have two parents,your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent.If both your parents are tall,then most probably you will be tall too, but if you have questions about how tall you're going be,ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don't decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力）.Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends(看情况而定）.There's no perfect or right answer.Generally speaking,kids grow about 2 inches(6 centimetres）a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty(when your body starts changing and becoming more grown-up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years.Two centimetres here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now,how you've been growing up to this point,and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰).during puberty(青春期).The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11for boys. But it can be earlier or later--between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You'll usually begin to notice that during puberty you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
