B When I was growing up in America，I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English．Because of her English，she was often treated unfairly．People in department stores，at banks，and at restaurants did not take her seriously，did not give her good service，pretended not to understand her，or even acted as if they did not hear her． My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well．When I was fifteen，she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she．I was forced to ask for information of even to yell at people who had been rude to her．One time I had to call her stockbroker(股票经纪人)．I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing，“This is Mrs．Tan．”. And my mother was standing beside me，whispering loudly，“Why he don't send me cheek，al- ready two weeks late．" And then，in perfect English I said：“I'm getting rather concerned．You agreed to send the check two weeks ago，but it hasn’t arrived．” Then she talked more loudly．"What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss．" And so I turned to the stockbroker again，"I can't tolerate any more excuses．If I don't receive the check immediately，I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week．" The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a tennager, my mother' s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother' s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

C It seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries. While in China, Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform across health services. Gordon Brown, the UK Prime Minister, has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service. The crux of Mr. Brown' s proposals is related to giving the NHS ( National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention, rather than just curing patients. He is planning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease,strokes and cancer, for example, breast cancer. In Britain there are 200,000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes, many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about. Initially, the diagnostic (诊断的) tests will be available for those who are vulnerable, or most likely to have the disease. One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (动脉), a condition which kills 3,000 men a year. The opposition have criticized Mr. Brown' s proposals, saying that they are just a trick, and Claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes. They also say that Mr. Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them. The NHS was founded in 1948, and is paid for by taxation. The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor. However, in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private health care, and it' s much quicker. The NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long, so many people who can afford it choose to pay for medical care themselves.

One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (咬破) one of Dad' s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong.

She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she' d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we' d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (咬) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile.
