21、When a young physician appeared in a village to set up practice, she ran into a wall of distrust. Fourteen years on, the locals treat her as one of their own, Yang Feiyue reports.
Two pairs of old-fashioned black shoes with rugged cotton soles (鞋底) stand out among a pile of items, including awards certificates that exemplify Zhong Jing’s work in improving rural health over the past 14 years.
The shoes are by no means finely finished and point to the tough manual labor of a 90-year-old villager who touched Zhong’s soul and made her decide to put down roots in Longhe village, Longchang town, Qianxi-nan Bouyei and Miao autonomous prefecture in Guizhou province.
“I’ve never been able to get over how she must have struggled across several kilometers of rough mountain roads just to send me these shoes,” Zhong says.
The anecdote is one of many that tell of the bond between Zhong and the village’s 3,000 or so residents. Rain or shine, Zhong opens the door of her clinic in the village no later than 7: 30 am each day. The clinic is the only place where the villagers can see a doctor and have their ailments (疾病尤指慢性病) tended without trekking (艰苦跋涉) further afield.
Zhong, 39, knows every one of her patients and their conditions, so her diagnoses are done efficiently, with prescriptions that almost always seem to do the trick. When villages are on their work breaks, Zhong makes calls to some who have chronic (长期的) diseases, such as high blood pressure, and diabetes.
When Zhong settled down in Longhe in 2008, villagers’ worries of having nowhere to turn to in a medical emergency evaporated.
【1】What’s the local villagers’ reaction when Zhong first appeared in the village?
A.They relied on her treatment very much.
B.They did not have belief in her very much.
C.They just completely ignored her effort.
D.They treated her as one of their own.
【2】Why does the author mention two pairs of old-fashioned shoes?
A.To illustrate that Zhong lived a poor life.
B.To illustrate that Zhong walked a long way.
C.To illustrate Zhong’s simple lifestyle.
D.To illustrate the local’s appreciation for her.
【3】Why are Zhong’s diagnoses almost efficient?
A.Because she has advanced diagnose skills.
B.Because she has confidence in her medial knowledge.
C.Because she thoroughly knows her patients’ conditions.
D.Because the local patients have no other clinic to go.
【4】What does the underlined word in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Disappeared.
B.Declined.
C.Established.
D.Confirmed.

23、Understand your pet's body language
Body language is different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet.【1】Understanding your pet's body language will help you to be a better communicator, as you can even copy some of its movements, expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands.
● 【2】If your dog isn't looking directly at you, but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes, it might be about to have an aggressive outburst. If your dog is feeling stressed or aggressive, its wide eyes will be accompanied by a rigid(绷紧的)body.
●If your cat looks at you and blinks at you slowly, it's likely communicating affection.【3】For cats, closing one's eyes in the presence of another is a way to show trust. If your cat feels threatened, its tail will likely be upright; its back will likely be arched, too.
●【4】If your bird's pupils ( 瞳孔) enlarge and shrink rapidly, this can be a sign that it's excited or greatly interested, or scared or angry.【5】Birds will shake their feathers while cleaning themselves ; if their feathers remain shaking, however, this could mean they’re unwell, in which case, take them to an animal doctor for a checkup.
