B When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental(心理的) health problems. When he left the hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, USA. But when he was there, he did things in a different way. For example, he didn’t like the doctor’s white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams because he was too different. But Adams believed that people in hospital needed more than medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them as patients, but as people too. He spent a lot of time with children in the hospital and often dressed up like a clown(小丑) to make the children laugh. When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital, called “the Gusundheit Institute”, together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people. Hunter Adams became famous during the 1980s, and in 1988, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film, Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, “Hunter is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who is a friend. I enjoyed playing him.” 24. When did Adams have mental health problems? A. After he left medical school. B. During the 1980s. C. When he was a teenage boy. D. After the film came out. 25. Why did the doctors at the medical school dislike Adams? A. Because he was a warm person. B. Because he had mental health problems. C. Because he was a clown. D. Because he wasn’t the same as others. 26. The Gusundheit Institute . A. was a hospital B. belonged to Universal Pictures C. could make films D. was a medical school C Up they got, early next morning, out of the silken beds, and they saw that the sun was shining brightly and that the wind was blowing from the South. Jip smelt the South wind for half an hour. Then he came to the Doctor, shaking his head. ① “I smell no snuff (鼻烟) as yet,” he said. “We must wait till the wind changes to the East.” But even when the East wind came, at three o’clock that afternoon, the dog could not catch the smell of snuff. The little boy was terribly disappointed and began to cry again, saying that no one seemed to be able to find his uncle for him. ② But all Jip said to the Doctor was, “Tell him that when the wind changes to the West, I’ll find his uncle even though he is in China—so long as he is still taking Black Rappee snuff.” Three days they had to wait before the West wind came. This was on a Friday morning, early—just as it was getting light. A fine rainy mist lay on the sea like a thin fog. And the wind was soft and warm and wet. As soon as Jip woke up, he ran upstairs and poked his nose in the air. ③ “Doctor!” he cried. “I’ve got it! Doctor! Doctor! Wake up! Listen! I’ve got it! The wind’s from the West and it smells of nothing but snuff. Come upstairs and start the ship—quick!” So the Doctor tumbled out of bed and went to the rudder (方向舵) to start the ship ④ “Now I’ll go up to the front,” said Jip; “and you watch my nose—whichever way I point it, you turn the ship the same way. The man cannot be far off—with the smell as strong as this. And the wind’s all lovely and wet. Now watch me!” —Adapted from Doctor Dolittle 27. From the passage, we know Jip is ________. A. a ship B. a doctor C. a dog D. a bed 28. ________ is the best place for the sentence “Then he got most frightfully excited and rushed down again to wake the Doctor up.” A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 29.
