　　A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.

　　The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.

　　Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip(静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.

　　But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere(干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma(昏迷)a few times.

　　When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?”

　　But the doctor knew that her family was well off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.

　　When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling. ”Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need. (352W)

　　(原创)A record 1. 12 million people took the annual national civil service exam on Nov. 26, 2012, a rebound after the number fell in 2010 and 2011.

　　Some 1. 5 million people who registered for this year’s exam passed the qualification assessment(认定), and 1. 12 million took the exam on Sunday, according to figures from the State Administration of Civil Service. They are competing for around 20, 800 positions in more than 140 State-level government agencies and their local branches.

　　The number of qualified applicants and the number of people who took the exam reached a new high in 2009 before dropping in the following two years. This year’s numbers showed a rebound in interest. High employment pressure, fierce competition for jobs and the chance of a stable working life are the main reasons behind the demand for government positions, said an article released by the administration on Sunday.

　　However, the administration said that some positions, particularly those in remote and poor areas, have failed to attract applicants. “We hope our applicants can devote themselves to working in West China, in remote and less-developed regions, and in areas that the country needs them most, ”the article said.

　　Li Yongxin, president of Zhonggong Education, which offers private training for exam hopefuls, said that in the past few years, only two thirds of applicants actually took the exam. But on Sunday, three fourths of the applicants did so.

　　The administration has also warned that anyone who cheats in the exam will not be allowed to reapply for five years. And people who organize group cheating or hire ghostwriters to take the exam will be banned for life.

　　Some university students, who are ineligible(失去资格)to take the civil servant exam, are trying to take the test by applying with false information—inventing degrees and work experience.

　　The civil service exam is only open to university graduates and people who have work experience.

　　Various examination sites across China have carried out measures to stop cheating. (337W)

　　B. Not all positions are attractive to the applicants.

　　C. Three fourths of the applicants took the exam in 2012.

　　D. Anyone who cheats in the exam will not be allowed to reapply for five years.

　　7. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

　　A. Rise.

　　B. Fall.

　　C. Rise again after a fall.

　　D. No change.
