26、 A macular hole, a hole at the most crucial part of the retina brought Bonny Huang who is from Hong Kong to the Singapore National Eye Centre for treatment. The retina is the light sensing nerve tissue at the back of the eye. In no time the potentially blinding condition was treated and his vision is now restored.
"In April 2008, I noticed straight lines started to become distorted, and white patch appeared in the centre of my vision. I went to the Singapore National Eye Centre immediately. The ophthalmologist, a medical doctor who specializes in eye care and surgery, found a central macular hole in my left eye."
The treatment of this condition involves delicate judgment dependent on the experience of the doctor. The success of the recovery, however, relies largely on the face- down posture by the patient.
"The Ophthalmologist explained to me the operational procedures, and taught me how to comply with the post- surgery face- down posture. The best part is that when I forgot some of the key points he told me, he showed no sign of resentment but instead comforted me not to worry before he went through the points again. I underwent an operation which lasted for only one hour, and maintained a face- down posture for three weeks. The result was very successful."
"I once consulted my Ophthalmologist during his lunch time, and he attended to me without finishing his lunch. His understanding and concern shown towards his patients can be scarcely found in other medical centres. I am very pleased to have received timely treatment in Singapore National Eye Centre where the doctors care about their patients."
A．a charity organization helping people solve their eye problems
B．an institute focusing on eye-treatment research
C．a hospital specializing in eye-problem treatment and research
D．an international institute treating people's diseases

28、I remember my grandma sitting at the kitchen table with cucumber pieces stuck on her face. My sisters and I had them on our faces, too. We would just sit laughing at each other and seeing who could stick the most on at once. We looked silly, but it was a good way of cooling down when the apartment got too hot.
From our days as newborns, my grandma raised all three of us while my parents worked. As I got older, my family left the apartment and moved into a new house. I called my grandparents every day. I can't remember all that we talked about, but I remember how much we laughed. Mostly, though, our phone calls centered on my school homework.
Grandma was a Greek who came to America without speaking a word of English. I remember when one of my tasks was to learn the Greek national anthem, she took it upon herself to teach my sisters and me every word. As she sang, her voice was always filled with pride. She didn't Americanize herself to fit in, but brought her roots and planted them firmly.
Now, I visit my grandma once a week in her nursing home. She can no longer walk, eat hard food, or carry out a conversation. She can say a few words at a time on a good day, but the nurses don't understand her, as she's returned to speak Greek.
One afternoon, I was feeding my grandma and a nurse walked up to us and said, “Are you her grandson? Because she knows you — I can tell. She doesn't look at anyone else like that.” I looked over and my grandma's eyes were fixed on me, with the same kind of smile I've known all my life. I got close to her and she kissed me. Of course, she hasn't forgotten.

29、Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher regarded as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral (道德的) philosopher. He made no writings, and is known mainly through the description of classical writers’ writing after his lifetime, particularly his students Plato and Xenophon. Aristophanes, a writer, is the only source to have written during his lifetime.
Socrates was born in Alopeke. He first worked as a sculptor, and created the statues of the Charites, which stood near the Acropolis until the 2nd century AD. Xenophon reports that because young men were not allowed to enter the Agora, they used to gather in shops surrounding it. Socrates often went to these shops in order to talk with the traders. Most famous among them was Simon, the Shoemaker.
Perhaps Socrates’ most important contribution to Western thought is his dialectic (辩证的) method of questioning, known as the Socratic method. It was first described by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. To solve a problem, it would be broken down into a series of questions, the answers to which gradually collect the answer a person would look for. The development and practice of this method is a key point in earning his title as the father of moral philosophy in Western philosophy. The Socratic method has often been considered as a part of American education.
Socrates had a strong influence on philosophers in both ancient and modern times. Achievements of Socrates in art, literature and popular culture have made him one of the most widely known figures in the Western philosophical tradition.

31、
The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every 【2】 with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs. Many native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of 【3】 among people, just at some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore when a person from one of these culture is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be 【4】 is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these culture, silence is a call for 【5】.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with 【6】 among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show 【7】between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority（权威）rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the 【8】 meanings of silence wen they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own persona and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not 【9】 too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing 【10】 of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
