21、ng（D）momentary40 I have never seen Mrs. Clark before, but I know from her medical chart and the report I received from the preceding shift that tonight she will die.The only light in her room is coming from a piece of medical equipment, which is flashing its red light as if is warning. As I stand th
22、ere, the smell hits my nose, and I close my eyes as I remember the smell of decay from past experience. In my mouth I have a sour, vinegar taste coming from the pit of my stomach. I reach for the light switch, and as it silently lights the scene, I return to the bed to observe the patient with an un
23、emotional, medical eye.Mrs. Clark is dying. She lies motionless: the head seems unusually large on a skeleton body; the skin is dark yellow and hangs loosely around exaggerated bones that not even a blanket can hide; the right arm lies straight out at the side, taped cruelly to a board to secure a n
24、eedle so that fluid may drip in; the left arm is across the sunken chest, which rises and falls with the uneven breath.I reached for the long, thin fingers that are lying on the chest. They are ice cold, and I quickly move to the wrist and feel for the faint pulse. Mrs Clarks eyes open somewhat as h
25、er head turns towards me slightly. I bend close to her and scarcely hear as she whispers, “Water.“ Taking a glass of water from the table, I put my finger over the end of the straw and allow a few drops of the cool moisture to slide into her mouth and ease her thirst. She makes no attempt to swallow
26、; there is just not enough strength. “More,“ the dry voice says, and we repeat the procedure. This time she does manage to swallow some liquid and weakly says, “Thank you.“She is too weak for conversation. So without asking, I go about providing for her needs. Picking her up in my arms like a child,
27、 I turn her on her side. Naked, except for a light hospital gown, she is so very small and light that she seems like a victim of some terrible famine. I remove the lid from a jar of skin cream and put some on the palm of my hands. Carefully, to avoid injuring her, I rub cream into the yellow skin, w
28、hich rolls freely over the bones, feeling perfectly the outline of each bone in the back. Placing a pillow between her legs, I notice that these too are ice cold, and not until I run my hands up over her knees do I feel any of the life-giving warmth of blood.When I am finished, I pull a chair up bes
29、ide the bed to face her and, taking her free hand between mine, again notice the long, thin fingers, graceful. I wonder briefly if she has any family, and then I see that there are neither flowers, nor pictures of rainbows and butterflies drawn by children, nor cards. There is no hint in the room an
30、ywhere that this is a person who is loved. As though she is a mind reader, Mrs. Clark answers my thoughts and quietly tells me, “I sent my family home tonight didnt want them to see“ Having spent her last ounce of strength she cannot go on, but I have understood what she has done. Not knowing what t
31、o say, I say nothing. Again she seems to sense my thoughts, “You stay“Time seems to stand still. In the total silence, I feel my own pulse quicken and hear my breathing as it begins to match hers, breath for uneven breath. Our eyes meet and somehow, together, we become aware that this is a special m
32、oment between two human beings Her long fingers curl easily around my hands and I nod my head slowly, smiling. Without words, through yellowed eyes, I receive my thank you and her eyes slowly close.Some unknown interval of time passes before her eyes open again, only this time there is no response i
33、n them, just a blank stare. Without warning, her shallow breathing stops, and within a few moments, the faint pulse is also gone. One single tear flows from her left eye, across the cheek and down onto the pillow. I begin to cry quietly. There is a swell of emotion within me for this stranger who so
34、 quickly came into and went from my life. Her suffering is done, yet so is the life. Slowly, still holding her hand, I become aware that I do not mind this emotional battle that in fact, it was a privilege she has allowed me, and I would do it again, gladly. Mrs. Clark spared her family an episode t
35、hat perhaps they were not equipped to handle and instead shared it with me. She had not wanted to have her family see her die, yet she did not want to die alone. No one should die alone, and I am glad I was there for her.Two days later, I read about Mrs. Clark in the newspaper. She was the mother of
36、 seven, grandmother of eighteen, an active member of her church, a leader of volunteer associations in her community, a concert piano player, and a piano teacher for over thirty years.Yes, they were long and graceful fingers.A drip K liquidB secured L famineC decay M jarD preceding N slideE straw O

47、ung people are not【51】they were. The same comment is【52】from generation to generation and it is always【53】. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy【54】freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so【55】on their parents.
48、 Events which the older generation remember vividly are【 56】more than past history, This is as it should be. Every new generation is【57 】from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.The old always assume that they know best for the simple【58】that they have been【59】a bit longer. They dont like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the【60】are doing. They are questioning the【61】of their elders and disturbing their complacency. They take leave to【62】that the older ge
