I got my first driver’s license in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte，North Carolina.Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman.Henry and I were living in Baltimore，Maryland.Two weeks before my 20th birthday，Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon.When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Carolina driver’s license，ready to renew，the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law  since I was not yet 21.“Mr. Henry Smith，your husband，will have to sign for you,” he said.

I argued，pointing to a very large belly(肚子) of mine，“I am married.I am having a baby.Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?”He answered coldly.“It’s the law，madam.”

Henry encouraged me to calm down，just go ahead and get the license and be done with it.“No，”I said.I refused to have him sign for me.So I left without a Maryland license.

I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle office and renewed my NC license by mail--using my name Susan Brown.And thus it was for the next twelve years.Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license.By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland，and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam.Since then I just go in and renew every four years--sign the name Susan Brown，have my new picture taken, and walk out with         a license to drive.

Most people feel lonely sometimes，but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours，This kind of loneliness is not serious.In fact，it is quite normal.For some people，though，loneliness can last for years.Now researchers

say loneliness comes in three different types.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary.This is the most common type.It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention.The second kind is situation，for example，family problem，the death of a loved one，or moving

to a new place.Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems，such as headaches and sleeplessness，it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most serious.Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of‘temporary’) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others.Unfortunately，many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Psychologists(心理学家) agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts，for example，

fiends，family members，co-workers，etc.We depend on various people for different reasons.For instance.our family give us emotional support，our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our fiends share similar interests and activities.

However，psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts，they sometimes feel they should have more.They question their popularity.

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons：they are unhappy and unable to socialize arid there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease，while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad，and sometimes dangerous condition.

49.How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?

A. Talk to friends.       B.Go to see a doctor.

C.Just ignore it.        D.Ask your teacher for guidance.

Honesty，my mum always used to tell me，is the best policy.Of course，this didn’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents.

But when it comes to medicine.I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients.After all，the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust，and therefore honesty is essential.Or so I thought.

I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科).Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen.I took a medical history from his daughter who’d accompanied him in the ambulance.She’d been his main carer for years.I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history.“Has he lost any weight recently?”I asked.“Well，it’s funny you should mention that，but yes.”she said slowly.There was silence for a few moments.“Why? What are you worried about?”she asked.I hesitated.She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth.“Well.we need to prove it’s not cancer.”I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.

Half an hour later, a nurse called me：“Mr. McMahon’s daughter broke down--she said you told her he had cancer.”My heart sank.By the time I arrived at the ward，my consultant was already there，explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer.I stood silently at the end of the bed.My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon，she turned to me.“Why on earth did you do that?”she asked in disbelief.I looked at her and bit my lip.“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.”I said，hanging my head.“And give her more to worry about?”replied my consultant.“You don’t say the word‘cancer’until it’s confirmed.Even if you suspect it，think very carefully before you tell people.”

As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer.But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this.In being truthful，I’d made the situation worse.

57.The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author_____.

A.misunderstood the doctor-patient relationship

B.was anxious to receive Christmas gifts

C.regarded honesty as the best policy

D.had an unhealthy eating habit
