填空题Eighteen-year-old Khairul Anuar Salim, who was attacked by hoodlums, succumbed to his wounds because, according to his uncle, a private hospital in Cheras insisted on "Money first then treatment". 1 ______ They have no intention to treat those who cannot afford to pay. They feel that the government should bear the responsibility for health care of ordinary folks who cannot afford or are unwilling to pay. That is also why they do not release the decease"s body until they secure payment from the next of kin--never mind that the latter are under stress and grieving. 2 ______ Doctors have taken their Hippocratic Oath to uphold the special value of human life above personal profit, to use their medical knowledge to ameliorate suffering and pain and in emergencies, do the best for anyone in medical need regardless of their financial means. 3 ______ Many join the private hospitals to make money. By itself, there is nothing wrong in making money except that it is difficult to balance the irreconcilable conflict which must invariably exist, between the imperatives of profit and those of compassion and care of the Hippocratic Oath. 4 ______Hence patients may be required to pay RM10 for toilet rolls, not to mention thousands of dollars for surgery or stay in a deluxe room for convalescence. Fast registration, four-star private rooms for recuperation, televisions and toilet rolls are fine but they must be recognized for essentially what they are--mere frills. The main substance of medical attention is proper medical evaluation, correct diagnosis of the problem, advice and treatment including surgery if necessary. 5 ______ A. Administrative staff merely carry out the private hospitals" policies on charges and billings including "No money no treatment". B. Doctors in private hospitals may have to pay high rentals for their clinics and they may even be required to meet some kind of budget to contribute to the common weal of sharing expenses. C. This is the reason for seeking admission in a hospital in the first instance. D. In this, they are acting like the banks except that instead of using properties or shares as collateral (担保) for payment, they use the dead person"s body. E. That is because the bottom line of private hospitals is profit. F. It is sad that more often than not the Hippocratic Oath has become the hypocritical oath in the case of doctors in the private hospitals.

填空题(1) The maple smoke of autumn bonfires is incense to Canadians. Bestowing perfume for the nose, color for the eye, sweetness for the spring tongue, the sugar maple prompts this sharing of a favorite myth and original etymology of the word maple. (2) The maple looms large in Ojibwa folk tales. The time of year for sugaring-off is "in the Maple Moon." Among Ojibwa, the primordial female figure is Nokomis, a wise grandmother. (3) 41. ______________ (4) Knowing this was s pursuit to the death, Nokomis outsmarted the cold devils. She hid in a stand of maple trees, all red and orange and deep yellow. This maple grove grew beside a waterfall whose mist blurred the trees' outline. As they peered through the mist, slavering wendigos thought they saw a raging fire in which their prey was burning. (5) 42. ______________ (6) For their service in saving the earth mother's life, these maples were given a special gift: their water of life would be forever sweet, and Canadians would tap it for nourishment. (7) 43. ______________ (8) The contention that maple syrup is unique to North America is suspect, I believe. China has close to 10 species of maple, more than any country in the world. Canada has 10 native species. North America does happen to be home to the sugar maple, the species that produces the sweetest sap and the most abundant flow. (9) But are we to believe that in thousands of years of Chinese history, these inventive people never tapped a maple to taste its sap? I speculate that they did. (10) 44. ______________ (11) What is certain is the maple's holdfast on our national imagination. Is leaf was adopted as an emblem in New France as early as 1700, and in English Canada by the mid-19th century. In the fall of 1867, a Toronto schoolteacher named Alexander Muir was traipsing at street a the city, all squelchy underfoot from the soft felt of falling leaves, when a maple leaf alighted to his coat sleeve and stuck there. (12) The word "maple" is from "mapeltreow”, the Old English term for maple tree, with "mapl"--as its Proto-Germanic root, a compound in which the first "m" --is, I believe, the nearly worldwide "ma", one of the first human sounds, the pursing of a baby's lips as it prepares to suck milk from mother's breast. The "ma" root gives rise in many world languages to thousands of words like "mama", "mammary", "maia", and "Amazon." Here it would make "mapl-" mean "nourishing mother tree," that is, tree whose maple sap in nourishing. (13) 45. ______________[A] The second part of the compound, "apl-", is a variant of Indo-European able "fruit of any tree" and the origin of another English fruit word, apple. So the primitive analogy compares the liquid sap with another nourishing liquid, mother's milk.[B] In one tale about seasonal change, cannibal wendigos-creatures of evil-chased through the autumn countryside old Nokomis, who was a symbol for female fertility. Wendigos throve in icy cold. When they entered the bodies of humans, the human heart froze solid.[C] Here wendigos represent oncoming winter. They were hunting to kill and eat poor Nokomis, the warm embodiment of female fecundity who, like the summer, has grown old.[D] Could Proto-Americas who crossed the Bering land bridge to populate the Americas have brought with them a knowledge of maple syrup? Is there a very old Chinese phrase for maple syrup? Is maple syrup mentioned in Chinese literature? For a non-reader of Chinese, such questions are daunting but not impossible to answer.[E] Maple and its syrup flow sweetly into Canadian humor. Quebeckers have developed a special love for such a nutriment.[F] After it resisted several brushings-off, Muir joked to his walking companion that this would be "the maple leaf for ever!" At home that evening, he wrote a poem and set it to music, in celebration of Canada's Confederation. Muir's song, "The Maple Leaf Forever," was wildly popular and helped fasten the symbol firmly to Canada.[G] But it was only old Nokomis being hidden by the bright red leaves of her friends, the maples. And so, drooling ice and huffing frost, the wendigos left her and sought easier prey.

填空题To me personally, the most remarkable and, in the long run, the most influential man who was translated was not a Greek. That is because I am interested in the perception of objects in space. And that was a subject about which the Greeks were totally wrong. It was understood for the first time about the year AD 1000 by an eccentric mathematician whom we call Alhazen, who was the one really original scientific mind that Arab culture produced. (66) Alhazen first recognized that we see an object because each point of it directs and reflects a ray into the eye. The Greek view could not explain how an object, my hand say, seems to change size when it moves. In Alhazen's account it is clear that the cone of rays that comes from the outline and shape of my hand grows narrower as I move my hand away from you. (67) And that, and only that, accounts for the difference in size. It is so simple a notion that it is astonishing that scientists paid almost no attention to it for six hundred years. (68) The concept of the cone of rays from object to the eye becomes the foundation of perspective [透视画法]. And perspective is the new idea which now revivifies mathematics. (69) A manuscript of Alhazen's Optics in translation in the Vatican Library in Rome is annotated by Lorenzo Ghiberti, who made the famous bronze perspectives for the doors of the Baptistry in Florence. He was not the first pioneer of perspective--that may have been Filippo Brunelleschi--and there were enough of them to form an identifiable school of the Perspectivi. (70) A. It was a school of thought, for its aim was not simply to make the figures lifelike, but to create the sense of their movement in space.B. The Greeks had thought that light goes from the eyes to the object.C. The excitement of perspective passed into art in north Italy, in Florence and Venice, in the fifteenth century.D. As I move it towards you, the cone of rays that enters our eye becomes larger and subtends a larger angle.E. Above all, we feel that the painter's eye is on the move.F. But artists attended to it long before that, and in a practical way.
