2 . We experienced a horrible winter because of the national outbreak of COVID-19. My aunt is a doctor. 2 days before the Chinese New Year’s Eve when hearing the urgent news that she should perform her duty in Wuhan, my family sank into a great panic. How long would this duty last? Could my auntie be safe? More and more confirmed cases and deaths were reported. Hubei Province was locked down. People were restricted to homes. The whole country was under a cloud of terror.

At this time, a group of medical staff, including my aunt, came forward. They sacrificed their Spring Festival holiday and charged on the front line to defeat the disease. Regardless of personal safety, they took their professional mission to head for Hubei Province.

In addition, Zhong Nanshan, Li Lanjuan, Zhang Boli, Chen Wei and other top scientists immediately made up the epidemic expert group, trying to find out pathology and effective prescriptions as soon as possible. Many truck drivers had been devoted to transporting all kinds of goods to support Hubei Province.

Throughout the country, the Party members have played their exemplary role at all posts in routine work of disinfection and sterilization, registration and inspection. Moreover, a lot of volunteers have kept on duty day and night, insist on publicizing the common knowledge of epidemic prevention. In this way, our government could take measures step by step.

In peace times, there are also heroes. They can be medical staff, scientists and all fighters in this fight against CONVID-19. In the face of the epidemic, in spite of their personal concerns and their family’s worries, they can still make their courageous choice.

Last week, my aunt came back home, safe and sound. I gave my aunt a warm hug. It’s also a hug to all heroes in our country. Thank you all! Our heroes! You are making our world more colorful.

3 . Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which means “Doctors Without Borders”, was established in 1971. It is now one of the world’s largest organizations that provide emergency medical relief. In 1999, it won the Nobel Peace Prize. Its aim is to help people who have suffered badly in wars or natural disasters, such as earthquakes or floods.

Each year, about 3,000 people are sent abroad to work in more than 60 different countries worldwide.     1     In most projects, there are about seven local members to every one of foreigner. Volunteers are paid about $1,400 each month and receive travel expenses. They usually work on a project for six months to a year. Many volunteers go on more than one mission.

One volunteer reports, “Working in politically sensitive areas with limited resources can be frustrating, but there is huge satisfaction in making even a small or temporary difference to people. What better recommendation than to say, “I’m about to leave on a third mission!”

    2     You have to be able to deal with stress, and you need to be able to work independently as well as in a team. You are not required to have medical qualifications. Besides medical expertise, MSF needs the skills of technical staff such as building engineers and food experts.

           3     “One of my biggest challenges was organizing a team to open a new hospital in a town that had had no medical care for three years,” one volunteer said. This volunteer said the project was a success because of the reduction of deaths and the fact that the local people were so thankful. Another volunteer says, “With MSF, I have had the chance to travel and test my skills to the limits both professionally and personally.     4    ”

6 . Edith Cavell was born in a small English village. She was a clever, hard-working girl and did well at school, especially in music and French. After she left school, her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium. The language they spoke was French, so she found that her school studies were useful. She could understand them easily, at the same time she taught the children to speak English and play the piano.

After hearing that her father was seriously ill, Edith returned home to look after him. She then decided to become a nurse. Afterwards for five years she worked in an English hospital as a nurse where she proved to be highly professional (专业的) at her job. A Belgian (比利时的) doctor was so impressed (印象深的) that he invited her to his country to organize a training school for nurses. The First World War broke out in 1914 and Edith Cavell's school of nursing became a hospital. She stayed there to look after the sick and wounded soldiers. Edith treated them with kindness. Between November 1914 and August 1915 she secretly helped about 200 wounded soldiers and prisoners escape from the Germans. Later the German army found out what Edith had done and they arrested her.

9 . “We need to shampoo the patient s hair,” said Kristen, a physician assistant. Operating room nurse Jess seconded the idea. With the two of them advocating, it needed to happen.

Somehow for the last 23 years, as a man with short hair, I’d always considered a wash with water to be enough to clean a patient’s hair after surgery. We would wash it the day after. That’s just how we’d done things. But why not wash it in the operating room before the patient wakes up? The literature suggests no danger, so I went along with Kristen and Jess, and bought good shampoo.

The first time we did it, it seemed a little time-wasting. If it was about surgical cleanliness, it wasn’t required. As we continued to wash the patient’s hair, I began to notice the effect it had on everyone else in the room. The shampoo transformed the room to a spa for just a few minutes. The patient was the subject of the cleansing, but we benefited too. It was a quiet, collective feeling, knowing that we were finishing our work well. The sweet smell of washing fixed that in our minds.

Patients say they don’t care about hair, but they do. It can be a symbol of power or beauty, as with Samson or Rapunzel. A contemporary example, hair in Namwali Serpell’s novel The Old Drifts serves as a symbol of individual and personality. People definitely care about their hair.

Washing the hair with nice shampoo symbolizes the beginning of some kind of recovery, a return to a new normal for the patient, cleansing away the misfortune that caused them to need me.

We sent the patient out of the room with clean hair, knowing and showing that we’d cared for them well. The patient is more than a case—they’re a fellow human, after all. A postsurgical shampoo seems like a good talisman (护身符), and it’s not time-wasting.

1. What can we learn about the first hair-washing experience in the operating room?

A．The patient was a man with short hair.

B．The idea was first put forward by Jess

C．The experience was a total waste of time.

D．The author realized various benefits afterwards.

2. What’s the author’ s purpose in writing paragraph 4?

A．To explain the power of beauty.

B．To show what hair means to people.

C．To introduce a classic book about hair.

D．To discuss the effect of hair on personality.

3. What will the author probably do in the future?

A．Wash patients’ hair before surgery.

B．Stop wasting time on hair-washing.

C．Continue to shampoo patients’ hair.

D．Give patients talismans for good luck.

4. Which of the following best describes the author as a doctor?

A．Honest.	B．Ambitious.
C．Caring.	D．Generous.

10 . A 96-year-old woman, believed to be the oldest working nurse in the country, has retired from Tacoma. Washington, hospital.

Last week, Florence Rigney, better known to her friends as “SeeSee”, retired as a nurse MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital after over 70 years. Throughout her career — which began as student nurse, Rigney worked consistently, only taking a “break” from nursing to raise her two children.

Working as a nurse has kept Rigney very active. She's traveled across the country as an operatic nurse and even logged up to three miles on her treadmill from walking during her shifts. “I don't like to around — I've always got to have something to do. That's my nature,” Rigney said in a statement, adding that she always wanted to become a nurse. “I love to interact with patients and give them the help that I can.”

Rigney planned on retiring once at age 65, but after six months, she decided that she needed the job to stay active and keep her mind sharp. Now as she officially retired, the hospital noted that Rigney planned on spending most of her time enjoying family and friends. “Even working into her nineties she has never been one to slow down. Some of her colleagues joked that they had to sprint to keep up with her,” said Laureen Driscoll, president of the hospitals. “SeeSee's continued to be a dedicated nurse and an incredible resource to her colleagues and community. It's humbling to stop and think about the thousands and thousands of lives she's cured for. Everyone at MultiCare thanks Rigney for her unmatched dedication and service, and we're proud to honor her by supporting tomorrow's future nurses,” she continued.

As she said goodbye to her beloved job, Rigney offered some advice for other nurses. “Don't ever think that you know it all.” she noted in the release. “I kind of did that when I was in the operating room and you have to always be open. You never stop learning.”

In her honor, the hospital announced the creation of its SeeSee Rigney Nursing Endowed Scholarship Fund, which will provide scholarships for MultiCare employees for continued learning and development in nursing.

1. Rigney continued working at age 65 because she ______.

A．needed to support her family	B．wanted to stay energetic and sharp
C．hoped to show her personal value	D．intended to promote nurse training

2. What was Rigney's suggestion for younger nurses?

A．Remain confident.	B．Care for each other.
C．Keep active and patient.	D．Stay hungry for knowledge.

3. According to the passage, Rigney is respected mainly due to her ______.

A．old age and good health	B．quick mind and great creativity
C．positive attitude and hard work	D．high position and good resource
