A

Pearl opened her eyes when Ezra turned a page of his magazine. She pulled off her quilt. “Ezra，” she said. “If I could just have some water，” she told him.

He poured it from the waterpot. She heard no ice cubes clinking（叮當聲）； they must have melted. Yet it seemed just minutes ago that hed brought in a whole new supply. He raised her head， rested it on his shoulder， and tipped the glass to her lips. Yes， half-heated not that she minded. She drank gratefully， keeping her eyes closed. His shoulder felt steady and comfortable. He laid her back down on the pillow.

“Dr Vincents coming at ten，” he told her.

“What time is it now？”

“Eight thirty.”

“Eight thirty in the morning？”

“Yes.”

“Have you been here all night？” she asked.

“I slept a little.”

“Sleep now. I wont be needing you.”

“Well， maybe after the doctor comes.”

It was important to Pearl that she cheated the doctor. She didnt want to go to the hospital. She had lung disease， and she was almost certain； she guessed it from a past experience. She recognized the way it settled into her back. If Dr Vincent found out， he would take her out of her own bed， her own house， and send her off to Union Memorial.

“Maybe you should cancel the doctor altogether，” she told Ezra. “Im improved very much， I believe.”

“Let him decide that.”

“Well， I know how my own self feels， Ezra.”

“We wont argue about it just now，” said he.

She sighed and smoothed her quilt. Wasnt it supposed to be the daughter who came and nursed you？ She knew she should send him away but she couldnt make herself do it. “I guess you want to get back to that restaurant，” she told him.

“No， no.”

“Youre like a mother who chatters about that place，” she said unhappily.

5. Girls want a s figure these days.

This is a fact that Senior Three students are working hard at their lessons， hope to improve their academic performance and pass the College Entrance Examination. But what worries me is that the large number of students is not active in taking physical exercise. The reason is because they dont pay enough attention to the importance of regular exercise. In fact， its very important of students to have sports every day. Experts say physical exercise is great importance for their physically and mental health. And a lack of sleep or exercise may be cause them to feel sleepy in class， which in the end led to students performing badly in exams.
