(10 points) Passage 1 On my voyage to Japan, I shared a cabin with Mr. Kelada. He was chatty and seemed too sure of himself. One evening at dinner the passengers

35、 started talking about culture pearls(人工養(yǎng)殖珍珠) the Japanese were making, Mr. Kelada rushed the new topic: “Im going to Japan just to look into the Japanese pearl business.

36、ant tell with half an eye.” He pointed to the chain that Mrs. Ramsay wore. “You take my word for it, Mrs. Ramsay, that chain youre wearing will never be worth a cent less than it is now.” Mrs. Ramsay in her modest way flushed (臉紅) a little and slipped the chain inside her dress. Mr. Ramsay leaned fo

37、rward. He gave us all a look, and a smile shone in his eyes. “Thats a pretty chain, isnt it? ” “I noticed it at once,” answered Mr. Kelada. “Gee, I said to myself, those are pearls all right.” “I didnt buy it myself, of course. Id be interested to know how much you think it cost.” “Oh, in the trade

38、somewhere round fifteen thousand dollars. But if it was bought on Fifth Avenue I shouldnt be surprised to hear that anything up to thirty thousand was paid for it.” Mr. Ramsay smiled grimly. “Youll be surprised to hear that Mrs. Ramsay bought that string at a department store the day before we left

39、New York, for eighteen dollars.” Mr. Kelada flushed. “Nonsense. Its not only real, but its as fine a string for its size as Ive ever seen.” “Will you bet(打賭) on it? Ill bet you a hundred dollars that its imitation.” “Done.” “Oh, Elmer, you cant bet on a certainty,” said Mrs. Ramsay. She had a little

40、 smile on her lips, and her tone was gently showing strong disagreement. “Cant I? If I get a chance of easy money like that I should be all sorts of a fool not to take it .” “But how can it be proved?” she continued. “Its only my word against Mr. Keladas”. “Let me look at the chain, and if its imita

41、tion, Ill tell you quickly enough. I can afford to lose a hundred dollars,” said Mr. Kelada. “Take it off, dear. Let the gentleman look at it as much as he wants.” Mrs. Ramsay hesitated a moment. She put her hands to the clasp(項(xiàng)鏈扣). “I cant undo it,” she said. “Mr. Kelada will just have to take my w

42、ord for it.” I had a sudden suspicion that something unfortunate was about to occur, but I could think of nothing to say. Mr. Ramsay jumped up. “Ill undo it.” He handed the chain to Mr. Kelada. The man took a magnifying glass from his pocket and closely examined it. A smile of triumph spread over hi

43、s smooth and rather dark-coloured face. He handed back the chain. He was about to speak. Suddenly he caught sight of Mrs. Ramsays face.

44、clear that I wondered why her husband did not see it. Mr. Kelada stopped with his mouth open. He flushed deeply.

51、a (安樂(lè)死) is not simply a question of ending someones life. The important thing is how that persons life ends. If someone chooses euthanasia, he doesnt have to think about the worry and the suffering only. He can also focus on the things he really wants to do, such as taking a last trip, or making up

52、a fight with someone in the family, or saying goodbye. The pressure on that person becomes lighter when he knows he wont have to go on suffering long. Often, people who have chosen euthanasia have such peace of mind that they die naturally. Dr. Kimsma visits his patients every day in the final perio

53、d of their lives, usually at their home, where most people prefer to die. He talks to them often about various treatments and ways to relieve their pain, so that they know about all the choices, not just euthanasia. “If I ended the life of a patient because I had not given him good care, I would fee

54、l ashamed and guilty,” he said. Dr. Kimsma admits that in the case of euthanasia there is a conflict between his goals as a doctor: saving life and helping those who are suffering. He believes that helping people is the morally right thing to do. “My patients can be sure that I will not let them suf

55、fer unnecessarily alone. That is just my goal and duty as a physician.” However, he thinks that euthanasia should never be easy for a doctor, or for a persons family, so that people do not begin to think of it as something ordinary. He says he can only continue to perform euthanasia because it is so

56、mething that happens very rarely. In 1996 the government of Australias Northern Territory passed a law allowing voluntary (自愿的) euthanasia. Peter Ravenscroft, a medical professor in Australia, suggests that this law was passed because very little care is available for patients beyond cure in the Nor

57、thern Territory of Australia. Dr. Ravenscroft holds that euthanasia is wrong. He believes that when people have an incurable illness, they should be given care that lessens their pain and suffering and helps them to feel less afraid. He says that such care should improve the quality of a persons lif

58、e , even in the very last part of his life, without bringing death. Dr Ravenscroft suggests that a patient should be given a drug to help him sleep for the last few days of his life, if nothing else will help him. Ravenscroft says, “I value sitting with dying patients or holding their hands . It rem

59、inds me that life is a great mystery and we all share the characteristics of being human. We take part in all of life including dying, but we are not masters of it.” If euthanasia is legal, it may be easier to choose death instead of continuing to look for a better treatment. Ravenscroft has had pat

60、ients who lived much longer than they were expected to live , and other patients whose pain suddenly became less. If euthanasia had been available, they might have died too soon. Ravenscroft has another reason for not making euthanasia legal. He fears that people can be persuaded to choose euthanasi
