When I was in seventh grade, I volunteered at a local hospital during the summer. I spent most of the time there with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any , and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).
I left for a week, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was . I didn't have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for they might tell me he had died.
So with many questions , I continued to volunteer there.
Several years later, I was at a gas station when I noticed a face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive? I got up the to ask him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a about 5 years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he yes. I explained how I knew him. His eyes were with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug.
He began to tell me when he there comatose (昏迷的), he could hear me talking to him and could me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an , not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my and touch that had kept him alive.
Then he told me about his life and what happened him to put him in the coma. We both cried for a while, said our goodbyes and our separate ways.
Although I have not seen him since then, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a between his life and his death. More , he has made a very big difference in my life, too. I will never forget him and what he for me: he made me an angel.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1-10各题所给的A.B.C.和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺负）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?
A．kind B．sensitive C．fair D．generous
A．equally B．slightly C．clearly D．increasingly
A．suggestions B．conclusion C．turns D．choices
A．accidents B．mistakes C．falls D．deaths
A．interesting B．vital (重要的) C．easy D．valuable
A．seldom B．rarely C．merely (仅仅) D．never
A．trouble B．power C．prison D．control
A．roughly B．eventually C．deliberately (故意地) D．exactly
A．awful (可怕的) B．cruel C．unhealthy D．unnecessary
A．still B．even C．later D．somehow

A few minutes later, she stopped crying, but still looked 41 .
When all the seats were taken, the driver started the engine. The conductor began to collect fares.
