My grandfather
passed away today. He had a
1.
heart attack.
2.
of his treatment he was in
a lot of pain. You see, the
doctors
were able to keep his body
3.
,
even though there
was little chance of
saving him. The
4.
part of it was that my
grandfather, who had always been quite
humorous, could
5.
communicate after that. He
just didn't seem to be the
6.
person anymore.
My
grandfather
was
a
fat
man.
After
the
7.
,
it
took
my
grandmother, my mother and me to dress
him each morning.
After he was dressed,
we
8.
his pillow and sat him in his bed.
His everyday life was wholly
9.
of
watching whatever was on
the TV. He
couldn't
10.
change the channel.
The
doctors
had
worked
hard
to
11.
him
alive.
However,
a
few
weeks
12.
they
told
us
something
disappointing.
The
surgical
13.
had
not
been
successful.
My
grandfather's
condition had no
14.
of improvement. Next, X-rays showed
my
grandfather
had
obtained
a
lung
15.
—
a
frequent
problem with stroke
patients. Drugs would make him sick and
could not
16.
him.
That was
the time for us to make a
17.
decision. On the one
hand,
we could not
18.
to see our once vigorous grandfather
suffering.
He
was
living
the
painful,
limited
life
to
which
the
stroke had
19.
him. On the other hand, we hated to be
the
one to decide to let nature take
its course.
At last we decided that the
right thing to do would be to let him
die with
20.
.
He died a peaceful death.
Questions 21 to 40 are
based on the following passage.
Sometimes medical
advancements present us with a tough
choice to make. People think medicine
has created some
21.
questions to sort out. For
example, modern medical treatment
can
keep the body living well after patients have lost
22.
to
live. We have machines to
23.
as organs. And we can feed a
person by letting fluids
24.
into their body. This can be done
25.
they can't eat themselves. Sometimes,
even when the
mind
26.
functioning, the body keeps on working.
Should
we
keep
our
loved
ones
alive
through
surgical
procedures, hoping for a
27.
?
Or,
28.
their treatment and
only
provide drugs for the pain? This would allow them
to die
in a more
29.
way. The
30.
two options are not against
the
law.
31.
courts
sometimes
need
to
get
involved.
This
is
especially true when loved ones have
32.
opinions on what
should be
done. There is a third option that has the
33.
of a
great
many
people,
but
is
against
the
law.
We
can
34.
the
death of our
loved one. This can be done
35.
he no longer
has to suffer.
In the past, there was very
36.
that could be done to save a
person
in
great
danger. Once he had
37.
a serious illness,
doctors
could
do
nothing.
It
was
not
38.
for
people
to
live
long
after suffering major illness. Neither did people
often live
long
after
body
organ
39.
.
Many
believe
that
people
nowadays are kept
alive for much
40.
than they should be.
Some even believe that the kindest
thing to
do for
a person
who is dying and in a good deal of pain
is to help them to die
quickly and
painlessly.
You
must
face
the
fact
that
in
your
inmost
heart
you
hate
the
thought
of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms
where your
children
passed
through
their
wonderful
childhood
and
annoying
teens to a friendly but slightly
distant maturity.
Until,
suddenly
one
day,
the
distance
is
absolute
and
they
are
grown
up
and
gone.
Then
you
find
yourself
living
in
too
large
a
house,
which consumes in its maintenance too
much energy
and
money. When
we found ourselves in this situation a few years
ago,
we determined to move while we
still had the strength and before
the
emotional
ties
that
the
old
house
had
wrapped
around
us
became
too
powerful
to
be
broken.
Move
while
you
can!
But
be
sure
you
really
want
to,
and
do
not
move
too
often.
It
is
an
exhausting process.
Your first task is to find a house that
will suit you. It must be smaller,
quieter, easier to run, and more
conveniently placed for transport.
Not
so
small,
though,
that
it
will
not
have
room
for
your
largest
pieces of furniture, and located not
too far from the neighborhood
where so
many friendships have been built up.
At
last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a
street where the
houses, all small,
range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was
near enough to where we wanted to live.
It had no basement
(
底下
层
), which was
a great convenience for aging legs; there were
only
two floors: one for ourselves and
one where friends, children, and
grandchildren
could
spread
themselves
when
they
came
to
stay.
Each
floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the
ground floor,
with the bathroom above
it.
