In the summer between my first year and second year in college，I was invited to be an instructor at a high school camp.On the first day，when we were dancing and playing games，I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin.His shyness made him appear weak.I walked towards him，introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people.He quietly replied，"No，I really don't want to do this."I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him，either.Actually，the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.
At lunch the next day，I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.I tried again with the same invitation，but he refused once again.That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy.Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.
The days went by and the time came when we had to leave.We held a big，warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp.All the campers shared their wonderful moments.To my surprise，I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls.I couldn't believe it was the same person.
In October of my second year，I received a phone call from Tommy' s mother.She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed.I offered my deep sadness.The mother said， "Tommy mentioned you so many times.I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence.You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.''
At that moment，I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day.You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else.I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own "boy under the tree".

One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease.The number of people who die from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years.Today in Britain，for example，about four hundred people a day die of heart disease.Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly，by not smoking ，by changing their diets，and by paying more attention to the reduction of stress in their work .
However，Western health﹣care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention（预防）of the disease.There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease.Instead of encouraging such programs，however，the U.S.health﹣care system is spending much more money on the surgical （外科的） treatment of the disease after it develops.This emphasis （强调）on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years.In this time，modern technology has made doctors be able to develop new surgical techniques，Many operations that were considered impossible or too dangerous a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S.hospitals.The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.
Although it is true that heart surgery can help a large number of people，some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages.First，it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention.Second，it causes the costs of hospital care to rise.After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery，they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this，they raise costs for all their patients，not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment.The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery﹣even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary﹣﹣because the equipment and expert skills are there.a government office recently said that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low.In one type of heart surgery，for example，only 15 percent of patients improved their states of health after the surgery.However，more than 100，000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.
（1）According to this passage，what influence has modern technology had on medicine？ 　 　
A.It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.
B.It has helped save the lives of most patients.
C.It has educated people about the prevention of disease.
D.It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.
（2）To do this"（in Paragraph 3）means 　 　.
A.to increase the number of heart surgeries
B to help patients to get well as soon as possible
C to get back the money spent on the equipment
D to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart disease
（3）The author would agree that 　 　.
A.more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease
B.heart surgery has helped most patients improve their states
C.modern technology has made heart surgery more dangerous than before
D.the public has known a great deal about the causes of heart disease
（4）What would be the best title for the passage？ 　 　
A The Greatest killer in the West.
B.Heart Disease：Treat or Prevent.
C.Modern Technology and Heart Surgery.
D.Heart Surgery：Advantages and Disadvantages.
