p in the American College of Surgeons(美国外科医生学会) , a highly selective and distinguished(著名的) professional organization.

As part of the application procedure (手续) , Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous even years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case？ Maybe, in this case, she should have given one more test before operating？ On the other hand, maybe she should have. . . Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment？ For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.

The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a "country doctor"had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.

Dr. Ginoux was working in______.

A．a large city

B．the American College of Surgeons

C．an area far from any big city

D．a selective organization

but I thought I hated her.In her first class, she asked us to write a piece about an influencial person, place or memory. I chose to write my lake house, a topic I had already written about and received a vast amount of praise for. Put simply, it was the place that my parents met and fell in love.This teacher knew about my original piece and she was not happy. Throught the school year,we would pass each other in the hall, never saying a word to each other.It was not until February of 2012 that we spoke at the most unusual of places, my father’s funeral. At first, I was angry that she showed up. Did she even care？ She didn’t even know him! I stood, watching her give a deep bow to my father’s coffin, completely confused!It was not until she approached me that I realized she was crying even harder than I was.“Kali,” she said, “I am so sorry. My own father passed away just three weeks ago, and I completely feel your pain.” I was shocked. I understood that she had also lost her father, but I didn’t see the connection between us just yet. She had rejected my writing. That was not something that I was willing to so early forgive.A couple of weeks later, she went into my study hall and placed an envelope on my desk.In the letter, she told me her father, also had cancer, also passed away in six months’ time and he was her best friend too. It was not just this letter, but this act of kindness that taught me my,greatest life lesson. Losing has taught us both how to appreciate life. For that lesson, I am always grateful.

m spilling over. She told me that my three-year-old cousin had cancer. Hearing this, I went completely numb. How could this be happening？ I had just seen her, and she was fine. These things didn’t happen to our family, that’s what my uncle said. It seemed like the world turned upside down; just last week my grandmother had passed away. I felt like I couldn’t get my feet on solid ground. That’s when my sister, Madi, came down the stairs with her long brown hair freshly washed. She sat next to me and smiled. Despite what was happening, everything would work out, her smile seemed to say. “Mom, do you think I could get my hair cut tomorrow？” Madi asked. “Sure,” Mom said , starting to wash the dishes. “ I want to donate it to Locks of Love ” Madi smiled. My mom stopped washing and turned to look at her. “ Are you sure？ ” I noticed that Mom was holding back tears. This was a sacrifice(牺牲 ) for Madi. Her long hair was an importa nt part of her. “Yeah, it’s just hair. Eventually it will grow back.” She said. “All right,” Mom said quietly, smiling again. Madi gave up a part of herself for a while. She let a piece of herself go to someone else, someone she didn’t know. That day she became my hero too.
