I. Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.
Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I c ouldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights，and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.
When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that
I had to learn to speak English.

Passage 2
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men. And one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today as it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of misfortune or suffering. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting us in age.
A good book is often the best container of a life, containing the best that life could think out, for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books ar e treasuries of good words and golden thoughts, which, remembered and cared about, become our lasting companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page.
The great and good do not die even in this world. Well preserved in the books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of the past. The imperial intellects of the worlds are as much alive now as they were ages ago.
6. The relationship between a man’s friends and his books is that _______.
A. his books are as good as his friends

Passage 3
Pigeons have been used as messengers for 500 years, because of their special ability to find home. The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.
All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because they are “reset”every day, maybe when the sun gets up.
Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun? We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days” start at some different time from the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.
The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? The pigeons still find their way home. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth’s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.
11.Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability ______.
A. to send letters
B. to find home
C. to carry food for men
D. to lead the way for people
12.The secret of the homing pigeons is ______.
A. how they find food
B. how they find home
C. how they take a letter
D. how they take care of children
13.All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when ______.
A. the sun rises
B. the sun sets
C. the moon rises
D. the moon sets
14.The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly ______ because of the shifted biological clocks.
A. in a wrong direction
B. in a correct direction
C. in all directions
D. in a circle
15. Pigeons have ______ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earth’s magnetic field.
A. sharp eyes
B. sensitive hearing
C. sense of direction
D. brain waves
Passage 4
My surname is “Sun”, which happens to be spelt exactly like the English word “Sun”. It interested quite a few people on my way to London.
At London Airport a tall policeman took my passport to check the visa.
“Your name is S, U, N—Sun,” he pronounced it just as any other Englishman would. “You are wanted, young man!” Suddenly he took hold of my arm, and looked at me seriously.
It was a great shock to me, for I knew if a person is wanted by the police, he must have broken the law in some way. I protested: “What are you doing? Why should I be wanted? I’ve never done any harm to anybody.”
“Yes, you are wanted—there’s no doubt about it.” He tightened his grip.
“Is there anything wrong with my passport or the entry visa? Do I have to go back to China?”
“Go back? Now that you are here, we’ll never let you run away.”
“But what’s happened? What have I done?”
“Don’t you know yourself?” he looked as if he was really surprised.
“Of course not. Before you arrest me, you must let me know exactly how I happened to have broken the law!”
It was not until then that a smile appeared on his face. He let go my arm and said: “It’s very simple, Mr. Sun. England is a country with little sunshine. Since your name is Sun, you are wanted here. Now that you’ve come, of course we don’t want you to go away. But I have to give back your passport all the same. Here you are.”
So this was English humor, I thought, as I wiped the sweat on my forehead.

Passage 5
Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness. We are all used to thinking that work provides the material things of life — the goods and services that make possible our modern civilization. But we are much less conscious of the extent to which work provides the more
important psychological well-being that can make the difference between a full and an empty life.
Historically, work has been associated with slavery and sin and punishment. And in our own day we are used to hearing the traditional complaints: “I can’t wait for my vacation,” or “I wish I could stay at home today.” Agai nst this background, it may come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but also other behavioral scientists have come to accept the positive contribution of work to the individual’s happiness and sense of personal achievement. Work is more than a necessity for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives, the source of their identity and creativity.
Rather than a punishment or a burden, work is the opportunity to realize one’s potential. For large numbers of people, the absence of their work is harmful to their health. Large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they don’t have their jobs to go to. It has been observed that unemployment brings enormous psychological troubles besides the financial pressure.
21. According to the author, ______ is the most important thing that work can bring to us.
A. goods
B. services
C. mental health
D. physical health
22. In the past, work was NOT looked on as ______.
A. slavery
B. punishment
C. sin
D. happiness
23. According to the passage, work provides us with all the following EXCEPT ______.
A. illness
B. happiness
C. personal achievement
D. financial benefits
24. Many people regularly have headaches when they have ______.
A. too much work to do
B. too many guests to attend to
C. no work to do
D. no money to earn from work
25. Everyone needs ______.
A. a sense of pride as a top employee
B. a sense of accomplishment
C. a punishment in the form of work
D. a hard discipline in work
Passage 6
My grandparents believed you were either honest or you weren’t. There was no in-between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: “Life is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will show.”
Honesty is something we must demand of ourselves. A good test for this value is to look at whether you always give others credit that is rightfully theirs, whether you are not afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be smarter than you are.
David Ogilvy, founder of the advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather, made this point clear to his newly appointed office heads by sending each a set of dolls with five progressively smaller figures inside. His message was contained in the smallest doll: “If ea ch of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, Ogilvy &
Mather will become a company of giants.” And that is precisely what the company became— one of the largest and most respected advertising organizations in the world.
The other test for the value is: be honest and open about who you really are. People who lack real core values rely on external factors —their looks or social positions —in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this mask, but they will do very little to develop their inner value and personal growth.
Integrity means having a personal standard of morality and that is not relative to situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for judging your behavior. Integrity means you do what you do because it’s right and not just fashionable. It will take you forward into the 21st century without having to check your tracks in a rear view mirror. My grandparents taught me that.
26. The author’s grandparents believed one was ______.
A. honest as well as dishonest
B. neither honest nor dishonest
C. either honest or dishonest
D. both honest and dishonest
27.In the set of dolls, the smallest one stands for ______.
A. a giant
B. a dwarf
C. a tall man
D. a baby
28.Mr. David Ogilvy was eager to hire the people who are ______.
A. better and smarter than himself
B. worse and less smart than himself
C. as good and smart as himself
D. not so good and smart as himself
29.People with real core values rely on ______.
A. their looks
B. their social positions
C. their family
D. their inner value
30.To seek integrity, you must do what is ______.
A. right
B. fashionable
C. beneficial
D. profitable
Passage 7
Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few — for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common — they often talk about“being
on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.
31. According to the author,______.
A.all those who get on well with each other are friends
B.friends are closer than people who just get on well with each other
C.everyone understands clearly how to make friends
D.every student has 6 friends
32. When we make friends, we consider such things as age, race, and background, because ______.
A.it is not easy to have a friendly relationship with people when there is a marked difference in age
and background
B.the degree of friendship between two people and the reason for their shared interest can vary
greatly
C.friends need to know all these things
D.these are the most important factors to make friends
33. In Paragraph 2,“being on the same wavelength” means“______”.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/9f12175844.html,ing the same frequency while talking
B.keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do
C.having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interests
D.having the same background
34. Which of the following is NOT implied or directly stated in the passage?
A.Even friends may have differences of opinions.
B.Friends never argue with each other.
C.It generally takes time for people to become close friends.
D.Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.
35. To strengthen friendly relationship, people______.
A.must hold friendship ceremonies
B.have to eliminate differences in background
C.should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same race
D.should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotions
Passage 8
Going to an amusement park or ball game and watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
The way people cling to the belief that fun-filled, painfree life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: things that lead to happiness often involve some pain.
Couples who choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want, travel wherever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or three-day vacation. But couples who decide not to have children never experience the pleasure of hugging them or tucking them into bed at night. They never know the joy of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It creates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
The moment we understand that fun does not bring happiness, we begin to lead our lives differently. The effect can be, quite literally, life-transforming.
36.Fun activities can help us ______.
A. to work
B. to relax
C. to think
D. to study
37.The positive effects of fun can last ______.
A. for the last time
B. for a long time
C. for the time being
D. for the time to come
38.The idea that ______ prevents people from gaining real happiness.
A. fun is happiness
B. fun is not easy to get
C. happiness is hard to get
D. happiness and fun are different
39.It is very happy for parents to ______.
A. stay up late with their children
B. help their children do assignments
C. watch their children grow up
D. earn money for their children’s marriage
40.Knowing the difference between happiness and fun can give us ______.
A. more courage to face difficulties
B. more chances to reach our goal
C. more money to buy what we want
D. more time to do what we should do
Passage 9
In the house where I grew up, we had a room we called the library. It wasn’t a real library, of course; it was just a small room with a television set. But there were bookshelves built into all four walls and hundreds of books surrounded us in that room. The books, collected by my parents and grandparents throughout their lifetime, were a part of my childhood.
The stories of problems young people have with reading are not new, but the tendency seems to be worsening. Recently the Chancellor of the University of Illinois’s branch campus in Chicago said that 10 percent of the freshmen at his university could read no better than the average eighth grader and many had ranked in the top half of their high-school classes.
Much of the problem is that we live in a passive age. To listen to a record album, to sit through a movie, to watch a television show —all requires nothing of the cultural consumer, except for his mere presence. To read a book, though, takes an act of will on the part of the consumer. He must really want to find out what is inside. He cannot just sit there; he must do something, even though the something is as
simple an action as opening the book, closing the door and beginning to read.
41. In the house where the author grew up, most of the space was taken up by ______.
A. a television set
B. books
C. furniture
D. toys
42. ______ collected the books and passed on to me.
A. my parents and grandparents
B. my parents and teachers
C. my uncles and parents
D. my mother and grandparents
43. People, in the author’s view, are suffering from _______.
A. listening problems
B. reading problems
C. behavior problems
D. belief problems
44. In the passive age, ______ are most popular.
A. televisions
B. newspapers
C. books
D. magazines
45. The man who wants to find out what is in books is ______.
A. a passive receiver
B. an active sender
C. a reader with some will
D. a passive learner
Passage 10
Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. Teachers and textbooks are not infallible. In fact, no one is. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.
Every class was an adventure with Mr. Whitson. I can still remember some science periods almost from beginning to end. One day he told us that his V olkswagen was a living organism. It took us two full days to put together a refutation he would accept. He didn’t let us off the hook until we had proved not only that we knew what an organism was, but also that we had the courage to stand up for the truth.
We carried our brand-new skepticism into all our classes. This caused problems for the other teachers, who weren’t used to being challenged. Our history teacher would be lecturing about something, and then there would be clearing of the throat and someone would say “cattywampus”.
If I am ever asked to propose a solution to the crisis in our schools, it will be Mr. W hitson. I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries, but Mr. Whitson’s class gave me and my classmates something just as important: the courage to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong. He also showed us that you could have fun doing it.
Not everyone sees the value in this.
46.One day the students were required to prove that V olkswagen was not ______.
A. a brand of cars
B. a plant
C. an organism
D. an animal

IV. Translate the following passages into Chinese.
1. He told Mrs. Brauch that a young woman in his office, who was working in the evenings toward a
high-school-equivalency diploma, had come to him for advice and assistance. She respected him,
because he was a writer—that is why she turned to him.
2. Then I remembered Uncle Arthur. He was blind and lived far away from us. I’d never met him, yet
every Christmas he sent me a gift. He also had $5 checks written out to me. I always wrote, telling him what I’d spent his check on.
3. The queen has wings for a time. One day she flies away with a winged male. The male dies soon
afterwards, but the queen, without her wings, finds a good place for her new nest and begins to lay eggs there. Worker ants will feed her and protect the eggs. They will build as big and as safe a home as they can.
4. First, follow your dream. You must have a direction for your work. Set your objectives early, then
devote all your energies to achieving them. Second, take one step at a time. I talk to players and executives about the “one percent rule.”Don’t aim to reach the top in a single session; just try to improve by one percent over the session before.
5. In any field it’s important to have ambition and drive. But having worked with players, executives,
artists and young people, I’ve learned that those who rise to the heights in any field aren’t necessarily the ones with the greatest natural talent. They work hard. And they work harder.
6. For most novels, biographies, and books about travel, hobbies or personal interests, if you are an
average reader, you should have no trouble at all absorbing meaning and pleasure out of 300 printed words every 60 seconds.
7. One of the most commonly overlooked ways to build trust is to be loyal to those who are not present.
Now if you were to criticize the boss, I would suggest we go to him and explore how things might be improved. You may assume that I would act with equal respect if someone were to criticize you.
8. Why is marking up a book necessary to reading it? First, it keeps you awake. In the second place,
reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written.
The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.
9. For the 30th high-school reunion, Dalkoff went back and visited Mrs. Brauch, who had retired. He told
her what her four words had done for him. He told her that because she had given him the confidence to be a writer, he had been able to pass that confidence on to the woman who would become his wife, who became a writer herself.
10. To be happy, we must have enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I doubt that my
great-grandmother, who raised 14 children and took in washing, had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what fulfilled her. If she was happy with what she had, perhaps it was because she didn’t expect life to be very different.

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris.

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。
