The Saint Lukas train doesnt accept
passengers—it accepts only the sick. The Saint Lukas
is one of five governmentsponsored medical trains that
travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia.
Each stop lasts an average of two days,and during
that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural
(乡村)populations with basic medical care,Xray
scans and prescriptions.
—251—
“People started queuing to make an appointment
early in the morning,”says Emile Ducke,a German
photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint
Lukas for a twoweek trip in November through the
vast regions (区域)of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia.
Russias public health care service has been in
serious need of modernization. The government has
struggled to come up with measures to address the
problem,particularly in the poorer,rural areas east of
the Volga River, including arranging doctors
appointments by video chat and expanding financial
aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine
in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another
attempt to improve the situation. For 10 months every
year,the train stops at about eight stations over two
weeks,before returning to the regional capital to
refuel and restock (补给). Then it starts all over
again the next month. Most stations wait about a year
between visits.
Doctors see up to 150 patients every day. The
trains equipment allows for basic checkups. “I was
very impressed by the doctors and their assistants
working and living in such little space but still staying
focused and very concerned,”says Ducke. “They
were the best chance for many rural people to get the
treatment they want. ”
1. How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains?
A. It runs across countries.
B. It reserves seats for the seniors.
C. It functions as a hospital.
D. It travels along a river.
2. What can we infer from paragraph 3 about
Krasnoyarsk?
A. It is heavily populated.
B. It offers training for doctors.
C. It is a modern city.
D. It needs medical aid.
3. How long can the Saint Lukas work with one
supply?
A. About a year.
B. About ten months.
C. About two months.
D. About two weeks.
4. What is Duckes attitude toward the Saint Lukas
services?
A. Appreciative. B. Doubtful
C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious.

In 2013,Charles Ressler set up his DreamMaker
project after unlucky personal events. Since then,his
work has been centered around the idea that people can
send him their dreams through social media (媒体)
and hell help make them happen—without the use of
money.
In recent months,Ressler has helped many
dreamers,including Illinois resident Terry Bergman,
who wanted to build a playhouse for her grandchild
but could not afford it. “Thanks to Charles and the
donations,we started receiving box after box of baby
items for my daughter and grandson. It brought tears
to my eyes because my dream was coming true,”
Terry says.
Ressler has also helped Florida worker Wayne
Van Coughnett,who wanted to write a childrens book
but needed an illustrator (插画师). He used Twitter
to connect Van Coughnett to Spainbased illustrator
Suarez. Together,they created his childrens book,
which will soon be sold on Amazon. “I thought my
dream would always be a dream,as I cant afford to
look for illustrators. Charles is amazing,”Wayne
says.
Up next on his list,Ressler is helping a married
woman named Ginny Ekins,who lost part of her long
term memory (记忆)and forgot her wedding (婚
礼). “It has a bad influence on her life because she
felt unhappy about the wedding photos in her house
and asked that all of them be taken down,”Ressler
explains. “She is unhappy because its as if she didnt
have a wedding.”So Ekins contacted DreamMaker.
In a few weeks,
he plans on presenting the wedding
—351—
arrangements to Ekins.
“DreamMaker is the great equalizer:It doesnt
matter who you are,what you believe,who you
love,”he says. “There are no borders (边界)when
it comes to helping each other,and sometimes its as
simple as someone saying ‘You can do it. ”
5. Why did Ressler set up the project?
A. To offer dreamers advice on personal events.
B. To improve communication between dreamers.
C. To dream up ideas through social media.
D. To help others realize their dreams.
6. What was the problem for Terry and Wayne?
A. Being short of money.
B. Knowing little about art.
C. Having little selfconfidence.
D. Having limited technical support.
7. What does Ekins want Ressler to do?
A. Improve her longterm memory.
B. Take wedding photos for her.
C. Make her house beautiful.
D. Arrange her wedding.
8. What does Ressler say about DreamMaker?
A. It offers equal opportunities for everyone.
B. It is badly in need of support from the public.
C. It makes people know how to love themselves.
D. It becomes more popular among common people
.

Ⅳ.参考范文:
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at
me in disbelief,asking me what to do. Flashing him another
apologetic smile,I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss
this last bus to Prague,Ill be late for the conference which is so
important that I cant afford to miss it!”I explained. “May I have
your phone number?I will call you and return the money I owe you.
I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!”I added,
handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted
my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone
number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise,Sir.”A feeling
of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm
handshake,I jumped out of the car,made a mad run for the bus,
and jumped onto it just before its departure.
Four days later,when I was back in Vienna,I called Gunter as
promised. He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped
me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him,I gave him a
big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the
airport. I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help,
everything had gone smoothly. When he stopped his taxi outside the
airport,I paid him for the “double car ride”,back and forth from
the airport to the bus station,together with a generous tip that he
turned down. I also gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at
Prague,which he accepted with delight. We became good friends
and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have
such a warmhearted friend like Gunter.
