A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a smallhospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so theshift (輪班) went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spendthe night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who washaving a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The wholenight I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spendChristmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was stilltough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pmsharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me.When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “Youprobably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank youfor the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift,and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but Iwanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered forthe shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Leesappeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr.Lee, his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together. In the later years thestaff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in thebreak room, where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefullyopened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside.It was engraved (鐫刻) with asingle word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell everyChristmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’tforget.

【題目】閱讀理解
Most book reviews start with a headingthat includes all the basic information about the book, like:
Title.
Author.
Place of publication, publisher, date ofpublication.
Number of pages.
Like most pieces of writing, the reviewusually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the reviewwill say. The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again, soyour readers don’t have to look up to find this information. You should alsoinclude a very brief description of the contents of the book, the purpose oraudience for the book, and your reaction and evaluation.
Then you move into a section ofbackground information that helps place the book in context and discussescriteria (準(zhǔn)則）forjudging the book. Next, the review gives a summary of the main points of thebook, quoting and explaining key phrases from the author. Finally, you get tothe heart of your review – your evaluation of the book. In this section, youmight discuss some of the following issues:
how well the book has achieved its goal
what possibilities are suggested by thebook
what the book has left out
how the book compares with others on thesubject
what specific points are not convincing
what personal experiences you’ve hadrelated to the subject.
It is important to use labels tocarefully distinguish your views from the author’s, so that you don’t confuseyour reader.
Then, like other essays, you can endwith a direct comment on the book, and tie together issues raised in the reviewin a conclusion.
There is, of course, no set form, but ageneral rule is that the first one–half to two–thirds of the review shouldsummarize the author’s main ideas and at least one–third should evaluate thebook.
（1）What is the most important part of a book review?
