Without realizing it, I had begun holding Ms A’s hand. Finally, Ms A stopped talking, “I’m very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel relieved now.” Tears fell from the corner of her eyes. “It’s OK, Ma’am. It’s part of my duty,” I said.
A few days later, when I returned to the ward, I discovered Ms A had left hospital as her condition had improved.
Ms A taught me the most important lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine. They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time.

Just like the United States, Britain is divided into different regions and areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe with over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone. With such a varied culture, adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should help you on your way.
Forget the stereotypes. Many of the long established stereotypes simply are not relevant to Britain today. Giving up pre-held ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open-minded and readily able to understand the culture you find yourself in.
Understand the differences. Britain is comprised of different countries (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales) and numerous different regions that all have their very own and very different traditions, dialects and even languages. Understanding the culture in a highland village is not the same as that in a southern English spa town will help you to avoid making mistakes.
Get used to small spaces. The US is not only a huge country but we are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces. Like all European nations, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses, apartments, cars and appliances are all small, so become familiar with small areas.
Go to the pub. The pub is a very important part of British culture and nothing will immerse (沉浸) you more than a cup of beer. Students, work colleagues, friends and family all meet in the pub and it is used as a focal point (焦点) of social contact.
Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor. Making fun of someone in Britain isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Teasing someone is a common way to show affection. As one Brit put it, “You never make fun of someone you don’t like him.”
46. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Cultural differences in Britain. B. How to adapt to British culture.
C. How to communicate with British people.
D. The British way of humor.
47. The underlined word “stereotypes” probably means _______.
A. pre-held ideas of people and culture
B. correct understanding of people and culture
C. different understanding of people and culture
D. general information of people and culture
48. When you are in Britain, it’s likely that you _______.
A. drive a big car B. live in a small house
C. enjoy the luxury of space
D. live in a small house but drive a big car
49. According to the last paragraph, if someone makes fun of you in Britain, it means _______.
A. he doesn’t like you B. you don’t understand British culture
C. he is a closer friend of you
D. he wants to make the atmosphere less tense

C. British culture remains unchanged over time
D. you can have a good understanding of British culture in a pub
D
It may seem hard at first, but living without a credit (信用卡) can put you on the way to financial success. While it’s good to keep one credit card in case of emergencies, controlling the use of credit will help prevent you from worrying about debt. Living without a credit isn’t about sacrifice — it’s about prioritizing (优先化).
