    National Doctors’ Day is a holiday in the United States. It is a holiday that honors doctors for the work they do for their1., the communities they work in and for society as a whole.   It is their hard work that keeps all of us healthy and this day thanks them for doing that for us2.our loved ones. The holiday started in 1933 in Winder, Georgia, and since then it’s been honored every year on March 30, which was the first anniversary of a doctor using ether anesthesia(乙醚麻醉) by Dr. Crawford W. Long.

We give greeting cards to doctors, both alive and3.. The red carnation is also still popularly used to say “thank you” to doctors for their work in medicine.

Now when you need to see a doctor, surely you will want to see a good one. But there is one important thing you may never have thought about: Has your doctor rested enough?

Doctors in  our country often  have to work 34 hours or even4. (long) without sleep.  Most of them work 104 hours a week, and some even 150. (There are only 168 hours a5.!) One report said that a doctor who works such long hours cannot think more6. (clear) than a drunk driver! Another found that doctors who sleep 5.8 fewer hours than the week before might make 22% more serious mistakes. Surely no one wants to get in a car that7. (drive) by a drunk driver. So, 8. (多么) safe would you feel when you are under the care of a tired doctor?

Sadly this problem has been around for a long time. There9.no laws about it yet and hospital bosses don’t look like they  care,  either.  And  that  is  why  we  doctors  are  asking  you10.( join) us this Sunday, to discuss how to deal with this problem!

 

1.patients 2.and 3.dead 4.longer 5.week 6.clearly 7.is driven 8.how 9.are 10.to join 【解析】 文章讲述了美国在医生节时,人们做一些事情来感谢医生,以及引出医生工作时间过长的问题,以及这种情况下的不好的结果。 1. 句意:这是一个纪念医生为病人、为他们工作的社区以及整个社会所做的工作的节日。由前句“National Doctors’ Day is a holiday in the United States.”可知,这里指的是医生对应的“病人”,且是指所有病人,所以用复数形式,故填patients。 2. 句意:这一天感谢他们为我们和我们所爱的人所做的一切。由句子结构分析可知,这里是表达us和our loved ones的并列,英语用and,故填and。 3. 句意:我们给医生发贺卡,无论是活着的还是死去的。根据空格前的alive可知,这里指的是“死去的”,是一个与形容词,故填dead。 4. 句意:我们国家的医生经常不睡觉要工作34小时甚至更长时间。根据语境及空格前的even可知,这里应该用比较级的形式,故填longer。 5. 句意:一周只有168小时!由语境及前句“Most of them work 104 hours a week, and some even 150.”可知,这里是对一周有多少小时的解释,所以这里表达“一周”,故填week。 6. 句意:一份报告说,一个工作时间这么长的医生不比一个酒后驾车的人更清楚地思考问题!由句中的than可知,这里应该用比较级,而空格在句中修饰的是动词think,所以要用副词形式,故填clearly。 7. 句意:当然没人愿意坐一辆由喝醉酒的司机驾驶的汽车。分析句子结构可知,空格是从句的谓语动词,而句子主语是that,指代的是前面的单数名词car,与动词drive之间是被动关系,而主句的动词是现在时,所以从句也用现在时,主语是单数名词,所以谓语用is,故填is driven。 8. 句意:那么,当你在一个疲惫的医生的照顾下,你会觉得有多安全呢?根据语境及汉语提示可知,这里缺的是疑问词,英语中表示程度用how,故填how。 9. 句意:目前还没有相关法律,医院老板看起来也不在乎。这里是There be句型,空格后的名词是laws,所以这里的be动词应该用复数形式,故填are。 10. 句意:这就是为什么我们医生邀请你这个星期天加入我们,讨论如何处理这个问题!此处表达的是“要求某人做某事”,英语是ask sb to do sth,所以空格应该用不定式作宾补,故填to join。

Should Children Be Allowed to Get Bored?

Children need time to stand and stare. They should be allowed to get bored so that they can develop their ability to be creative.

Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time. However, research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination, while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity.

Boredom is often linked with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped her in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few things to do, Syal often talked with her neighbors. She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes."But importantly, I thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored, "Syal said. She kept a diary, filling her time with short stories and poems she made up.

Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money. He enjoyed himself by making up stories, drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library. Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and seasons. Perry filled up his free time with what he liked. He became creative, because he could think freely.

Dr Belton is an expert on the effects of emotions on learning."Boredom could be an uncomfortable feeling, " she said. "But some young people cannot deal with that boredom creatively. So sometimes they may break a classroom window, or drive a car out for a mad race.” Usually, when children have nothing to do, they would turn on the TV, the computer, or the phone. Their time on these things has increased, yet they need to have time to think about their experiences through play or just watching the world around them.

It is this kind of thinking that can inspire the imagination. On the other hand, the TV or phone may cut short the thinking process. That can be harmful to the development of creativity. "For developing the ability to be creative, “ Dr. Belton advised, "Perhaps we need to stand and stare, and stay off-line from time to time.”

4.“off-line” here means     .

B.not want to stand in line

C.not connected to a computer network

D.not on a regular route of a transportation system

阅读短文 判断下列句子是否符合短文内容。符合写(A)不符合写(B)。Want to say "hello" from Disneyland? Send a post card!

Beautiful scenes(戏剧)ofparadise (乐园), wild animals, silly pictures — you can find them all in one place. Where? On a post card! Have people always sent post cards? No. Before post cards, people liked sealed letters.

The idea for the firstdecorated (装饰)post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front ——on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.

3.In 1861, the first decorated post card appeared.

4.Post cards were most popular during the early 1900s.
