The

idea

of

the

youth

hostel

旅社

)

started

with

one

man:

Richard

Schirrmann

(1874-1961),

a

German school teacher, who felt that there was a need for overnight accommodation for his students in

order that they could see new things and have new experiences outside the

41

.

He felt that one learns by observing, and tried to make his dream come true in the year 1909, when

he started providing accommodation for his students in inns, farmhouses and the like.

The first youth hostel was opened in Schirrmann

’

s own school in Altena, after which it was

42

by

a

permanent

hostel

in

Altena

Castle.

Schirrmann

went

on

to

43

the

German

Youth

Hostel

Association in the year 1919. By this time, the idea of the youth hostel had

44

far and wide, all

over the lands of Europe and further.

And then, in the year 1932, a(n)

45

organization called the International Youth Hostel was

founded

in

Amsterdam,

which

consisted

of

youth

hostels

from

Switzerland,

Germany,

Poland,

the

Netherlands,

Norway,

Britain,

Ireland,

France,

Czechoslovakia,

Denmark

and

Belgium.

Richard

Schirrmann became its chairman in 1933.

The

idea

of

the

youth

hostel

is

for

young

people

who

are

on

nature

trips

to

get

46

accommodation in exchange for some money and a helping hand with the

domestic chores

(

家务活

).

These hostels

were

said

to build

character and a

sense of

independence,

as

the

youth

who

stayed

in

them got the

47

to see how other people lived as well as to help to do work.

Youth

hostels

are

also

places

to

meet

and

make

new

friends.

They

have

no

class

48

and

everyone

has

to

do

their

share.

Here,

wealth

and

position

does

not

help

you

gain

49

,

but

friendliness does. The friendlier

you are, the more you learn from the

50

of staying in a youth

hostel.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Telemedicine is the name for when doctors give advice to patients by telephone or the Internet, or

when health care providers in rural areas connect with specialists in big cities.

Telemedicine

has

51

for

a

long

time,

but

the

rise

of

smartphones,

tablet

PCs

and

camera- equipped

computers

is

52

telemedicine

to

new

levels.

Some

health

care

systems

in

the

United States now

53

Virtual

(

虚拟的

) Urgent Care. Patients see a doctor by video chat without

having to leave home.

Diana

Rae,

a

nurse

educator

in

the

Franciscan

Health

System

recently

54

how

Virtual

Urgent Care works. She used an iPad tablet and skype

—

the video chat service.

Doctor Green has the patient describe her

55

; then the doctor performs a physical exam by

demonstrating what he wants her to do. Doctor Green decides that the problem is a common

56

.

For

medicine,

he

prescribes

(

开药方

)

an

a ntibiotic

(

抗生素

).

He

says

about

3

out

of

4

patients

have

57

problems that can be treated like this

—

through Virtual Urgent Care, which means a video chat

could

58

a visit to the doctor’

s office.

“Patient

s

’

safety

is

really

important

to

us.

So

if

we

feel

it

is

not

59

for

the

patient

to

be

treated in this manner, we

’

re going to suggest other

60

for them,” said Green.

The Franciscan Health System is based in Tacoma, Washington. It

61

$$35 for this kind of

virtual house call, which is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room, a doctor

’

s office or

an urgent care clinic.

After trying the video conference, Diana Rae says she would be

62

to pay the $$35 when she

was recently home with a bad cold.

“

I would have paid twice that for the

63

of getting taken care

of without having to sit in a waiting room, wait, and get

64

everyone else’s germs,”

Rae said.

Franciscan

operates

hospitals

and

clinics

and

has

a

deal

with

a

company

called

Carena

to

add

effective urgent care by Skype or phone. Carena is one of several companies doing this kind of work

Section B

（

At

age 11,

Zlata

Filipovic

saw

things

that

most

people

pray

they

never

see.

Growing

up

in

the

middle of a war zone, this little girl experienced firsthand the horrors of war.

Filipovic turned 11 in December of 1991. Five months later Serbian soldiers a

ttacked Filipovic’s

hometown of Sarajevo, Bosnia. While many people fled the city, Filipovic’s family stayed.

Some of the

worst moments of the Bosnian conflict would take place right under her nose. How did Filipovic deal

with his

harrowing

experience? By writing a diary.

Zlata’

s

Diary

was

first

published

in

the

summer

of

1993

by

UNICEF

(United

Nations

International Children

’

s Emergency Fund). It attracted enormous interest. Her writings on the Bosnian

conflict

were

not

as

sophistica ted

(

老练的

)

as

the

daily

news

reports.

Filipovic’s

observations

were,

however, more moving and

intimate

(

私人的< /p>

).

Ztala’

s Diary

gave readers a sense of sympathy for the ordinary people stuck in the Balkan region.

Filipovic’s

writings

raised

world

awareness

of

the

senseless

conflict

in

Sarajevo.

“I

see

that

things

aren’t good here,” Filipovic writes. “An ugly war is taking away my childhood.”

After two years of enduring the war in Sarajevo, Filipovic’s family escaped to

Paris in December

of 1993.

Zlata’

s Diary

was then printed by an international publisher. It became an instant bestseller. It

has since been translated into 35 languages.

talks

on

the

impact

of

war

on

children.

She

spoke

often

about

the

need

for

a

Filipovic eventually attended a British University and received a degree in human sciences. Today,

the well-being of the Balkan region remains on her mind. Now Filipovic wants to use her experience to

promote peace in a rapidly changing Europe. She hopes that her stories of war will make people listen

to her message of peace.
