7.One morning,I stepped out of bed and put my feet on the floor.Suddenly,a mean little man jumped out from under the bed and stabbed (刺,扎) an ice pick (碎冰錐) through my left foot.
Figuratively (比喻地) speaking,yes.
I took another step and he stabbed it again.This went on all day.Step,stab,scream.Over the next few days,I started limping (跛行).My whole body hurt.Even my hair.I kept thinking that the little man would get tired of stabbing me and go pick on somebody else.We often take things for granted until we lose them or they start to hurt.
My brother deals with pain every day.He's also blind and suffers from cerebral palsy (腦癱),needs a walker to walk,doesn't take much for granted.I had to wonder:What would he think about my foot?
Finally,after a week of pain,I went to see a very nice foot doctor.The doctor studied my foot,took X-rays,shook his head,and said the little man's name:Arthur Itis,or Arthritis (關節(jié)炎).
I knew it well.I'd often heard it hissed angrily by my grandparents and parents,all attacked by Arthur's ice pick when they got older.
"Wait,"I said."Doesn't Arthur usually just pick on old people?"
The doctor smiled,looking at my chart."How old are you?"
I gave him a look."Never mind,"I said."Can you fix it?"
"Well,"he said,"we can try."
He listed several options and I chose the injection (打針).It didn't hurt much.Not half as much as the ice pick.
That was yesterday.This morning,I awoke,took a few careful steps and …h(huán)allelujah!It hurt just a bit,but no ice pick.I looked under the bed.No sign of Arthur.Maybe he was hiding in the closet,waiting for another day.But for now,he was gone,and I was grateful.My mind began to race with plans to do all the things I'd been putting off for days:unpack,clean the house,wash my hair …
Then it hit me.Another stab.Not in my foot.In my heart.I remembered that I hadn't called my brother in a long time.
It's easy to take some things for granted.But it should never be the people we love.

分析 本文主要講述了自己的腳疼進行治療而得出結論:我們認為很多事情是理所應該的,一直到我們失去它.但是這一點不適用于我們愛的人身上,我們應該時刻關心我們愛的人.
解答 48.C 推理判斷題.由第三段中的"I kept thinking that the little man would get tired of stabbing me and go pick on somebody else.We often take things for granted until we lose them or they start to hurt."可知,作者一直認為疼痛會慢慢從自己身上消失,疼痛慢慢消失是理所當然的,所以她第一周一直沒有去看醫(yī)生.故C選項切題.
49.B 細節(jié)理解題.由第四段中的"He's also blind and suffers from cerebral palsy (腦癱)"可知,作者的兄弟眼睛看不見,患有腦癱.由第五、六段中的"The doctor…said the little man's name:Arthur It is,or Arthritis (關節(jié)炎)…I'd often heard it hissed angrily by my grandparents and parents"可知,作者、作者的祖父母,父母都患有關節(jié)炎,故作者兄弟和別人的病不一樣.B選項切題.
50.B 細節(jié)理解題.由倒數(shù)第二段中的"This morning,I awoke,took a few careful steps and …h(huán)allelujah!It hurt just a bit,but no ice pick…But for now,he was gone,and I was grateful."可知,作者進行了注射治療后的第二天,疼痛感消失了很多,作者很感激,由此可知,作者對治療結果是滿意的.故B選項切題.
51.C 推理題.作者由自己的腳疼進行治療而得出結論:It's easy to take some things for granted.But it should never be the people we love.我們認為很多事情是理所應該的,但是這一點不適用于我們愛的人身上,我們應該時刻關心我們愛的人,結合選項,故選C
