EVERYTHING has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, which causes fear. There were 2,601 cases (病例) recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government report. 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.
But, there is another side.
SARS is a reminder (提醒) of how fragile life can be. Suddenly, its not just the old people who are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.
Wang Xinying, a student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province came into contact (接触) with a suspected (疑似) SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close. Life is valuable (珍贵的) and Im going to treasure (珍惜) every single day, he said.
SARS teaches people to be grateful, both for their own lives and for others. Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected (被感染的) patients. As a result, more than one fifth of SARS cases in China are medical workers.
Xu Bing, a student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School wants to be a doctor in the future. Although they certainly know the dangers, doctors and nurses kept working hard on saving peoples lives. Im deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes. he said.
SARS also teaches sympathy (同情). The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and robberies. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how the Americans felt on 9.11.
And finally, SARS offers the chances to grow. All different kinds of people and the governments are joining together to work in this difficult time. When this passes, China and its people will have learned great lessons.

【解题思路点拨】
这是一篇以SARS为话题的阅读材料。文章作者告诉我们:SARS这种致命的疾病让人们清醒地认识到生命是多么的脆弱,每个人都要好好珍惜生命中的每一天。SARS给人们带来的启示是:我们大家要感谢那些置个人安危于不顾的医务工作者;人人都应当有点同情心;团结协作才能共度难关。
1.lose, love/treasure。短文第三自然段的意思是说,SARS的流行提醒人们:生命是脆弱的。突然间的死亡不只是老年人所面临的。现在每个人都意识到明天不总是有的。也就是说,生命是很容易失去的,我们大家都应当热爱(珍惜)生命。
2.half, month。本小题所提的问题是王信英被告知在家里呆大约多长时间? He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks.一句中的at least two weeks(至少两个星期)即是答案。但在解题时,要注意抓住两个空格中间的冠词a,从而可以联想到由其构成的时间状语,否则就会不知所措。
3.day, night。根据Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected patients.中的可以联想到医生和护士们日日夜夜地 (day and night)与SARS病人在一起。故可得答案。本题也应从连词and入手,联系题中信息方能找出答案。
4.join/work, together。短文最后一段说,在SARS严重威胁人们生命健康的这一段时间里,不同国家的人和政府携手合作,终于战胜了SARS。文中的All different kinds of people and the governments are joining together to work in this difficult time.这句话对答案有暗示作用。
