In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Deleville. Doctors there were

unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby was so seriously ill that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without any delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the baby ’s illness, and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.

"I think the baby is suffering from thallium (n. 铊) poisoning," said the nurse.

"A few days ago, I read a story 'A Pale Horse' written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms (n. 症状 ) are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the baby ’s."

"You're very good at observing things," said a doctor, "and you may be right.

We'll carry out some tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not."

The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew that cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Daleville. A week later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide(n. 杀虫剂 ) used in Deleville.

V Writing (15 Points)

Time

A proverb says: ” Time is money.” But I think time is even more precious than money. The reason is simple. When money is spent, we can earn it. However, when time is gone, it will never return. Therefore, we must value time.

Nowadays, some students do not realize that wasting time means wasting life.

They always take it for granted that they are young and they can afford to waste some of their time. For instance, some of them spend too much time in enjoying their lives like sleeping, shopping, playing video games instead of attending class; others in reading books of little value or importance. With the passage of time, they have got nothing useful or important. They should be fully aware that time flies like an arrow and life is limited, lost time and lost life is never regained.

Therefore, never waste any time. Now we are still young, and full of vigor and

vitality. We must value every minute and second. Let ’s make full use of time to study hard for our country
