A few minutes later 1 forgot this. 1 had breakfast and went out for a walk. The smell of spring was hovering in the air. The weather was warm. I was walking through the park, enjoying the beautiful nature.
Just then. I saw a young boy picking up a wallet from the ground. It seemed to me that I had seen this wallet before. First, I thought that he had dropped it, but his next actions made me think the opposite. The boy took the wallet carefully. cleaned it, and put it into his pocket. After that, he ran as quickly as he could. I didn't know what to do, so I began to scream loudly. I hoped there would be somebody nearby to catch him. But there was nobody around. I ran after him, but he disappeared somehow.
Then I reached in my pocket and realized that this wallet was mine. I felt very hopeless—no money, no keys, nothing. Maybe I had dropped it. That was a very awful day.
Suddenly, while I was sitting on a bench, a fascinating young woman appeared. She asked: "What has happened to you? Where have you been?" It was the same voice which I had heard that morning on the phone. The special accent I had heard on the phone. The same special accent! I couldn't believe my eyes. She was standing in front of me, trying to tell me something.
At that moment I felt someone shaking me and saying: "Wake up, wake up. It's getting late. Wake up!"
I opened my eyes and saw my mother. What a pity! No fascinating young lady, no park, nothing. I jumped out of bed immediately and checked where my wallet was. Thank God! It was there. It had only been a bad dream.

People long ago thought bad spirits（神灵）caused disease. Sometimes they cut a hole in the sick person's head to let the bad spirit out. Others thought that illness was a punishment from the gods. The Greeks in old times were the first to understand that bad spirits and gods do not cause disease.
Hippocrates, called the father of medicine, and another Greek named Galen believed that disease was caused by our body fluids（液体）which are not balanced. Doctors used bleeding as a treatment for almost all illnesses. The doctor cut blood vessel（血管）and got out some blood. They thought this brought the fluids back into balance.
Doctors performed surgical operations（外科手术）, About half of the surgical patients died from infection（感染）. Operating rooms were dirty, and surgeons did not even wash their hands. Things got better after Pasteur and Koch. British surgeon Joseph Lister showed how to make operating rooms clean.
Operations once had to be done quickly because there was so way to put patients to sleep. A doctor and a dentist first used ether（乙醚）in the 1s. Ether and other drugs let surgeons put patients to sleep during operations. These drugs, called anesthetics, reduce pain during surgery. With anesthetics, surgeons learned how to perform longer operations to save lives.
Medical researchers are now looking for ways to cure diseases caused by problems with genes. Genes are made of DNA. If something goes wrong with its DNA, the gene can make trouble. Some problems with genes appear at birth. Others happen later on. Doctors do not yet have good treatments for diseases caused by genetic problems.
Doctors and researchers are also working to prevent diseases by helping people lead healthy lives. They tell us to eat nutritious food, exercise, avoid smoking, and have regular physical checkups.

32. Why did about half of the surgical patients in the past die? （ ）
A. Ether was used properly
B. Patients were infected.
C. Surgeons performed longer operations.
D. Doctors didn't use operating rooms.
33. What can anesthetics be used to do? （ ）
A. Help a person sleep well.
B. Cut open part of body as a knife.
C. Make part of body free of sense or pain.
D. Save one's life if the operation fails.
34. What can we conclude from the text? （ ）
A. Good lifestyle helps one prevent diseases.
B. Any problem with genes happens before one is born.
C. Genetic treatment is the best way to remove diseases.
