Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Haiti (海地) has been my lifelong home.I was going to get a good education and study medicine in my country.After finishing my postgraduate abroad,I returned to Haiti with a strong desire to give back to my country.
I got the news that Haiti had been a large earthquake while on my way to Miami to attend a meeting.After many attempts,I was finally able to arrive in Haiti.Upon arrival,I learned that two of my colleagues died in the earthquake.Almost everyone I knew had lost a close family member.
Within days of my return to Haiti,I was amazed by team after team of doctors and nurses from all over the world who tried their best to help.They quickly set up a triage (分诊台) in the parking lot at the hospital where I had my private practice,Center Hospitalier du SacreCoeur (CDTI).More importantly,their support was their deep concern about the pain and sorrow my country men were experiencing. This helped me get through some very long and difficult days.
Another thing showed how the CDTI hospital owners,Dr.Reynold Savain and his wife,responded to the disaster.Without hesitation,they opened the door to the injured without considering how it would affect the future of their hospital.
Their act of kindness and spirit of generosity(慷慨) has had a lasting effect on my life.The care has made a huge difference to many of the injured.The recovery rate and quality of followup care for those treated have been far beyond my expectations.All of the patients are very grateful.
