A. Choose the best answer
Heroic Ebola workers
Every year, Time, a leading American magazine chooses the year's most influential newsmaker as their "Person of the Year". For this year, the magazine has chosen not a single person, but many-the health workers caring for Ebola (埃博拉) patients in west Africa.
In March, the largest Ebola outbreak in world history began in the west African countries of Guinea (几内亚), Liberia and Sierra Leone (塞拉利昂). At the time, there was little to stop the disease from spreading further. Neither the governments nor the World Health Organization (WHO) was ready to fight it.
"But the Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生组织)... and many others from all over the world, fought side-by-side with local doctors and nurses, ambulance drivers and burial teams," Time describes in an article explaining its choice. "The rest of the world can sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight."
Ebola has now killed more than 6,000 people (mostly in west Africa), and more than 17,000 people have been infected.
According to the WHO, 622 health-care workers have been infected with Ebola through the end of November; 346 of them have died. The incidence rate (感染率) of Ebola in Sierra Leone is about 100 times higher for health-care workers than it was for other people in the country.
Sierra Leone doctor Komba Songu-M'briwa got infected after treating a patient (who later died). He said that the Ebola field work was "the most difficult, most pitiful work of his life." Luckily he survived and has decided to return to the field. "I don't have regrets because I'm enjoying my job, and I think it's been a blessing to other people."
Ebola is a contagious (传染性的) and very dangerous disease. It can lead to serious bleeding, organ failure (器官衰竭) and death. The disease kills about 50 percent of those infected. Ebola can start with a flu, fever and headache, but get worse later. Ebola spreads by direct contact with blood or other body fluids (体液) of an infected human or animal. Because of this, it can spread quickly within families and among health-care workers.

I was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England, looking somewhere to m____81____ a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get touch with the Automobile Association. Low gray clouds were drifting a____82____ the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.
There was no s____83____ of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was c____84____ dead.

Carefully and s____87____, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling (流下来) from under the call box door.
D. Answer the questions
Laugh away pain
Several years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. It was the most difficult time I have ever faced. I think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold onto my sanity (心智健全). Like many people who have gone through chemotherapy (化疗), I lost all of my hair and I was bald as a golf ball. I had always enjoyed wearing hats, so I ordered several special hats with the hair already attached. It was easy and I never had to worry about how my hair looked.
I have always been a big golf fan. At one point during my cancer treatments, my husband John and I decided to get away from the cold Minnesota winter and take a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. There was a Senior PGA Tour event called The Tradition being played, and that seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.
The first day of the tournament (锦标赛) brought out a huge crowd. It was a beautiful day, and I was in heaven. I was standing and watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee box (开球区): Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd and Tom Weiskopf.
Just as they arrived at the tee box, the unimaginable happened. A huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway (高尔夫球场的平坦球道)! The thousands of spectators lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence, all eyes on me. Even my golf idols were watching me, as my hair was right in their flight path. I was mortified! Embarrassed as I was, I knew I couldn't just stand there. Someone had to do something to get things moving again.
So I took a deep breath and went out into the middle of the fairway. I grabbed my hat and hair, nestled (安放) them back on my head as best I could. Then I turned to the golfers and loudly announced: "Gentlemen, the wind is blowing from left to right." They said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.
