Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niterói Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”.

When Arvin Kuipers, who graduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in 2017 and loves Chinese culture, asks his patients to stick out their tongue so he can diagnose(诊断) their illness, many are confused.
Kuipers, 30, practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, said, “In TCM I need to do face and tongue diagnosis. That’s strange for people in my country.” One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment. “She came in, and I examined her face and tongue,” said Kuipers. “I told the patient her kidneys were not doing well and that she wasn’t getting proper sleep.” The woman was shocked by his insight and asked if he had been spying on her. “Actually, it was easy to diagnose her condition when I saw the dark rings under her eyes. Her energy levels were also very low at the time.”
Kuipers opened his TCM clinic in September. Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said. In some cases he also gave his patients traditional herbal medicines.
Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”
As of early April, Kuipers has treated more than 200 patients, many of whom come to his clinic every week. “TCM does work, and works well. My patients really feel better with it, so I value it, and when my patients feel better I also feel better.”
4. What can we learn from the elderly woman’s story in paragraph 2?
A. The elderly woman trusted TCM treatment in the beginning.
B. TCM is very different from the treatment in her country.
C. The elderly woman used to visit Kuipers a lot for TCM.
D. The elderly woman was shocked at her kidney s not doing well
5. Which TCM treatment is most welcomed by the patients in the West?
A. Tuina. B. Acupuncture. C. Cupping. D. Herbal medicines.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Why Kuipers’ patients are fond of Chinese tea.
B How Kuipers explains meridian system to his patients.
C. How Kuipers applies Chinese culture and treatments to patients.
D. Why Kuipers pays little attention to overall physical condition.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To praise Kuipers for his TCM treatments.
B. To stress the value of teaching foreigners TCM.
C To show the popularity of TCM with patients in the Netherlands.
D. To tell the story of Kuipers practising TCM in the Netherlands.
C
Native to forests of Central and South America, glass frogs in the Centrolenidae family get their name from their skin and muscles that help them be perfectly fit to live in their jungle environment. Turn the frogs over, where the effect is the most impressive, and you’ll make out their hearts, livers, and other organs through their hyaline stomachs.
And in a study published in the journal Science, researchers have discovered an amazing mechanism (机制) the animals use to become so clear.
When glass frogs go to sleep, they take in 89 percent of their brightly colored red blood cells into sacs (液囊) in their livers, which reflect incoming light and make the frogs appear nearly unseen. With their red blood cells out of view, the frogs become twice to three times more clear -a trick scientists believe helps the animals avoid being killed and eaten by their natural enemies.
“The trick is really hard to do, because their tissues are full of things that take in and spread light. And transparency (透明) is normal for many creatures in water, but hard on land,” says study co-author Jesse Delia. “Red blood cells also take in a lot of light, and we found that the frogs can actually hide themselves by packing them into the liver.”
Not only are the findings interesting, but the researchers attach great importance to them. That’s because many red blood cells in one place usually form a clot (血块), which can block and lead to a potentially life-threatening condition. But the frogs can seemingly clot and expand their red blood cells at will — without any negative effects. This may mean the animals already have what medical researchers have been seeking for decades: a biological mechanism which prevents too much bleeding while also preventing too much clotting.
8. What does the underlined word “hyaline” mean in paragraph 1?
A. See-through. B. Powerful. C. Narrow. D. Good-looking.
9. What is the new discovery about glass frogs?
A. The frogs fit in their environment better.
B. Sacs filled with red blood cells make the frogs clear.
C. Red blood cells in the frogs’ liver reflect light.
D. The frogs are able to take in a lot of bright colors.
10. What does Jesse Delia think of glass frogs’ trick?
A. Interesting. B. Unusual. C. Normal. D. Annoying.
11. Why do the researchers consider the findings important?
A. They help cure serious diseases.
B. They are a blessing for wild animals.
C. They can lead to advances in medicine.
D. They will prevent all clotting and bleeding.
D
About 12% of the total global energy demand comes from heating and cooling homes and businesses. A new study suggests that using underground water to maintain comfortable temperatures could reduce consumption of natural gas and electricity in this section by 40% in the US. The approach is called ATES, short for aquifer thermal energy storage(含水层热能储存).
“We need storage to absorb energy from the sun and wind. It’s crucial to creating affordable, reliable, and deeply environmental-friendly electricity systems. Most people are interested in batteries and other kinds of electrical storage. But we were wondering whether there was any opportunity to use geothermal (地热的) energy storage,” said first author A. T. D Perera. “With ATES, energy can be stored for a long period of time, without adding an additional burden to the grid (输电网).”
ATES is a pleasantly simple concept that takes advantage of the heat-absorbing property of water and the natural geological features of the planet. You simply pull existing underground water up and heat it at the surface in the summer with environmental heat or energy. Then you send it back down. It stays fairly hot because the Earth is a good insulator (绝热体).
“Unlike above-ground tank-based water or ice storage systems, ATES will not need space. It’s also more efficient and can support larger communities in cooling or heating than traditional geothermal heat pump systems that rely on heat moving with the underground soil,” added coauthor Hong Tianzhen.
A major benefit of ATES is that it will become more efficient as weather becomes more extreme in the coming years due to climate change. The hotter summers and severer winters could increase the amount of free thermal energy that can be stored with ATES. “It’s very much a realistic thing to do and this work is really about showing its value,” said Perera. “This technology is ready to go, so to speak. We just need to do it.”
12. What do we know about ATES?
A. It is aimed at replacing natural energy.
B. It mainly relies on batteries to function.
C. It is technologically demanding.
D. It helps achieve an environmental-friendly society.
13. How does Hong Tianzhen explain ATES’s advantages?
A. By giving examples. B. By discussing results.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing principles.
14. Which will affect ATES’s efficiency most?
A Extreme weather. B. Insulated materials.
C. The time of storage. D. The type of energy.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Turning Point in Energy Usage
B. A Transformation in the US Electricity System
C. A Solution to Green Cooling and Heating
D. A Discovery About Geothermal Energy Storage

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium (大礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
注意:续写词数应为150左右
Paragraph 1: The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of performance came.

When Arvin Kuipers, who graduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in 2017 and loves Chinese culture, asks his patients to stick out their tongue so he can diagnose(诊断) their illness, many are confused.
Kuipers, 30, practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, said, “In TCM I need to do face and tongue diagnosis. That’s strange for people in my country.” One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment. “She came in, and I examined her face and tongue,” said Kuipers. “I told the patient her kidneys were not doing well and that she wasn’t getting proper sleep.” The woman was shocked by his insight and asked if he had been spying on her. “Actually, it was easy to diagnose her condition when I saw the dark rings under her eyes. Her energy levels were also very low at the time.”
Kuipers opened his TCM clinic in September. Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said. In some cases he also gave his patients traditional herbal medicines.
Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”
As of early April, Kuipers has treated more than 200 patients, many of whom come to his clinic every week. “TCM does work, and works well. My patients really feel better with it, so I value it, and when my patients feel better I also feel better.”
4. What can we learn from the elderly woman’s story in paragraph 2?
A. The elderly woman trusted TCM treatment in the beginning.
B. TCM is very different from the treatment in her country.
C. The elderly woman used to visit Kuipers a lot for TCM.
D. The elderly woman was shocked at her kidney s not doing well
5. Which TCM treatment is most welcomed by the patients in the West?
A. Tuina. B. Acupuncture. C. Cupping. D. Herbal medicines.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Why Kuipers’ patients are fond of Chinese tea.
B. How Kuipers explains meridian system to his patients.
C. How Kuipers applies Chinese culture and treatments to patients.
D. Why Kuipers pays little attention to overall physical condition.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To praise Kuipers for his TCM treatments.
B. To stress the value of teaching foreigners TCM.
C. To show the popularity of TCM with patients in the Netherlands.
D. To tell the story of Kuipers practising TCM in the Netherlands.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了毕业于北京中医药大学的Arvin Kuipers在荷兰阿姆斯特丹开设中医诊所行医的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One elderly woman had been visiting him occasionally for advice, but her first experience with TCM surprised her. She had never experienced acupuncture (针灸) or any other TCM treatment.(一位上了年纪的妇女偶尔会去找他咨询,但她第一次接触中医的经历让她大吃一惊。她从未经历过针灸或任何其他中医治疗)”可知,老妇人第一次接触中医时感到很惊讶。她从未体验过针灸或其他中医疗法。由此可推知,中医与老妇人所在国家的治疗方法是非常不同的。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of his work involves performing acupuncture, cupping as well as tuina — a TCM massage that patients in the West like the most, he said.(他说,他的大部分工作包括针灸、拔火罐和推拿——西方病人最喜欢的一种中医按摩)”可知,最受西方人欢迎的疗法是推拿。故选A。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Kuipers usually makes a cup of Chinese tea to calm his patients if they are nervous about the acupuncture needles. He also explains to them the meridian (经络) system, which is a central concept of TCM, yin and yang, and other concepts. “In TCM, good health requires balanced yin and yang, so practitioners not only pay attention to a patient’s illness, but also to his or her overall physical condition,” said Kuipers. “TCM is also a different culture and offers a new perspective, instead of being a curing method.”(如果病人对针灸针感到紧张,Kuipers通常会泡一杯中国茶来安抚他们。他还向他们解释了经络系统,这是中医的核心概念,阴阳和其他概念。“在中医中,身体健康需要阴阳平衡,所以从业者不仅要关注病人的疾病,还要关注他或她的整体身体状况,”Kuipers说。“中医也是一种不同的文化,提供了一个新的视角,而不是一种治疗方法。”)”可知,本段主要介绍了Kuipers在治疗病人时应用了中国文化。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文前三段介绍了Kuipers学习中医、在荷兰用中医疗法给病人看病,最后两段介绍了Kuipers使用的中医疗法的效果。由此可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是讲述Kuipers在荷兰实践中医的故事。故选D。
C
Native to forests of Central and South America, glass frogs in the Centrolenidae family get their name from their skin and muscles that help them be perfectly fit to live in their jungle environment. Turn the frogs over, where the effect is the most impressive, and you’ll make out their hearts, livers, and other organs through their hyaline stomachs.
And in a study published in the journal Science, researchers have discovered an amazing mechanism (机制) the animals use to become so clear.
When glass frogs go to sleep, they take in 89 percent of their brightly colored red blood cells into sacs (液囊) in their livers, which reflect incoming light and make the frogs appear nearly unseen. With their red blood cells out of view, the frogs become twice to three times more clear -a trick scientists believe helps the animals avoid being killed and eaten by their natural enemies.
“The trick is really hard to do, because their tissues are full of things that take in and spread light. And transparency (透明) is normal for many creatures in water, but hard on land,” says study co-author Jesse Delia. “Red blood cells also take in a lot of light, and we found that the frogs can actually hide themselves by packing them into the liver.”
Not only are the findings interesting, but the researchers attach great importance to them. That’s because many red blood cells in one place usually form a clot (血块), which can block and lead to a potentially life-threatening condition. But the frogs can seemingly clot and expand their red blood cells at will — without any negative effects. This may mean the animals already have what medical researchers have been seeking for decades: a biological mechanism which prevents too much bleeding while also preventing too much clotting.
8. What does the underlined word “hyaline” mean in paragraph 1?
A. See-through. B. Powerful. C. Narrow. D. Good-looking.
9. What is the new discovery about glass frogs?
A. The frogs fit in their environment better.
B. Sacs filled with red blood cells make the frogs clear.
C. Red blood cells in the frogs’ liver reflect light.
D. The frogs are able to take in a lot of bright colors.
10. What does Jesse Delia think of glass frogs’ trick?
A. Interesting. B. Unusual. C. Normal. D. Annoying.
11. Why do the researchers consider the findings important?
A. They help cure serious diseases.
B. They are a blessing for wild animals.
C. They can lead to advances in medicine.
D. They will prevent all clotting and bleeding.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现了玻璃蛙身体透明的原因以及玻璃蛙体内独特的生物学机制。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Turn the frogs over, where the effect is the most impressive, and you’ll make out their hearts, livers, and other organs(把青蛙翻过来,那里的效果最令人印象深刻,你会看到它们的心脏、肝脏和其他器官)”可知,把玻璃蛙翻过来就能够看清玻璃蛙的心脏、肝脏和其他器官。所以画线词的意思是“透明的”,与see-through“透明的”含义相近。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When glass frogs go to sleep, they take in 89 percent of their brightly colored red blood cells into sacs (液囊) in their livers, which reflect incoming light and make the frogs appear nearly unseen.(当玻璃蛙进入睡眠状态时,它们体内89%的鲜红色红细胞会被吸收到肝脏的囊中,这些囊会反射入射光,使青蛙看起来几乎看不见。)”可知,充满红细胞的囊液使玻璃蛙变得透明。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Jesse Delia说的话“The trick is really hard to do, because their tissues are full of things that take in and spread light. And transparency (透明) is normal for many creatures in water, but hard on land(这个技巧很难做到,因为它们的组织中充满了吸收和传播光线的物质。对于许多水中生物来说,透明是正常的,但在陆地上却很难)”可知,该能力是很不寻常的。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This may mean the animals already have what medical researchers have been seeking for decades: a biological mechanism which prevents too much bleeding while also preventing too much clotting.(这可能意味着这些动物已经拥有了医学研究人员几十年来一直在寻找的东西:一种防止过多出血同时防止过多凝血的生物机制。)”可知,这些发现有可能推动医学的进步,因此研究者才认为这些发现很重要。故选C。
D
About 12% of the total global energy demand comes from heating and cooling homes and businesses. A new study suggests that using underground water to maintain comfortable temperatures could reduce consumption of natural gas and electricity in this section by 40% in the US. The approach is called ATES, short for aquifer thermal energy storage(含水层热能储存).
“We need storage to absorb energy from the sun and wind. It’s crucial to creating affordable, reliable, and deeply environmental-friendly electricity systems. Most people are interested in batteries and other kinds of electrical storage. But we were wondering whether there was any opportunity to use geothermal (地热的) energy storage,” said first author A. T. D Perera. “With ATES, energy can be stored for a long period of time, without adding an additional burden to the grid (输电网).”
ATES is a pleasantly simple concept that takes advantage of the heat-absorbing property of water and the natural geological features of the planet. You simply pull existing underground water up and heat it at the surface in the summer with environmental heat or energy. Then you send it back down. It stays fairly hot because the Earth is a good insulator (绝热体).
“Unlike above-ground tank-based water or ice storage systems, ATES will not need space. It’s also more efficient and can support larger communities in cooling or heating than traditional geothermal heat pump systems that rely on heat moving with the underground soil,” added coauthor Hong Tianzhen.
A major benefit of ATES is that it will become more efficient as weather becomes more extreme in the coming years due to climate change. The hotter summers and severer winters could increase the amount of free thermal energy that can be stored with ATES. “It’s very much a realistic thing to do and this work is really about showing its value,” said Perera. “This technology is ready to go, so to speak. We just need to do it.”
12. What do we know about ATES?
A. It is aimed at replacing natural energy.
B. It mainly relies on batteries to function.
C. It is technologically demanding.
D. It helps achieve an environmental-friendly society.
13. How does Hong Tianzhen explain ATES’s advantages?
A. By giving examples. B. By discussing results.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing principles.
14 Which will affect ATES’s efficiency most?
A. Extreme weather. B. Insulated materials.
C. The time of storage. D. The type of energy.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Turning Point in Energy Usage
B. A Transformation in the US Electricity System
C. A Solution to Green Cooling and Heating
D. A Discovery About Geothermal Energy Storage
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】

It’s also more efficient and can support larger communities in cooling or heating than traditional geothermal heat pump systems that rely on heat moving with the underground soil,” added co-author Hong Tianzhen.(合著者Hong Tianzhen补充道:“与地面上基于水箱的水或冰储存系统不同,ATES不需要空间。与依靠热量随地下土壤移动的传统地热热泵系统相比,它也更高效,可以为更大的社区提供制冷或供暖服务。”)”可知,Hong Tianzhen将ATES与基于水箱的水或冰储存系统比较,来解释ATES的优势。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A major beneft of ATES is that it will become more efficient as weather becomes more extreme in the coming years due to climate change. The hotter summers and severer winters could increase the amount of free thermal energy that can be stored with ATES.(ATES的一个主要好处是,随着未来几年气候变化导致天气变得更加极端,它将变得更加高效。炎热的夏季和寒冷的冬季可能会增加可以储存在ATES中的自由热能的数量)”可知,气温变化最能影响ATES的效率。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“About 12% of the total global energy demand comes from heating and cooling homes and businesses.

47. 读后续写
Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium (大礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.

Paragraph 1: The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.

Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of performance came.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. She was not rejected this time. Her name was posted at the top of the list. She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr. Buttler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part-your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard.
Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body, was an angel!
