听力原文:M: Good morning, Dr Ellis' Office.
W: This is Mrs Jackson. May I speak to the doctor?
M: Mrs Jaekson. Dr Ellis here. How's that new tooth?
W: Not so good, doctor. That's what I'm calling about. It just doesn't seem to fit right.
M: Well, that's to be expected during the first few days after it has been put in. Have you been leaving it in as I told you?
W: Well, it hurts so much, doctor. Especially when I eat.
M: I understand, Mrs Jackson. It hurts in the beginning, I know. But it's really better to leave it in, except when you clean it, of course.
W: Well, I did at first, doctor, but it hurt so much that I just couldn't stand it any longer.
M: Well, maybe we can set it right a little more.
W: Set it right?
M: Yes, when can you come here?
W: Oh, right away, doctor, if you don't mind.
M: Let me see. Can you get here by 11:00?
W: Oh, yes, doctor, I can make it. Thank you. See you then.

More than that, it had become a box out of which the United States government, Congress, the president, the governor of Florida and an army of evangelical protestors and bloggers would not let her escape. Her life, whatever its quality, became the property not merely of her husband (who had the legal right to speak for her) and her parents (who had brought her up), but of the courts, the state, and thousands of self-appointed medical and psychological experts across the country.
The chief difference between her case and those of Karen Quinlan and Nancy Cruzan, much earlier victims of Persistent Vegetative State (PVS), was the existence of the internet. When posted videotapes showed Mrs Schiavo apparently smiling and communicating with those around her, doctors called these mere reflex activity, but to the layman they seemed to reveal a human being who should not be killed. On March 20th, a CAT scan of Mrs Schiavo's brain — the grey matter of the cerebral cortex more or less gone, replaced by cerebrospinal fluid — was posted on a blog. By March 29th, it had brought 390 passionate and warring responses.
All this outside interference could only exacerbate the real, cruel dilemmas of the case. After a heart attack in February 1990, when she was 26, Mrs Schiavo's brain was deprived of oxygen for five minutes and irreparably damaged. For a while, her family hoped she might be rehabilitated. Her husband Michael bought her new clothes and wheeled her round art galleries, in case her brain could respond. By 1993, he was sure it could not, and when she caught an infection he did not want her treated. Her parents disagreed, and claimed she could recover.
From that point the family split, and litigation started. Each side, backed by legions of supporters, accused the other of money-grubbing and bad faith. A Florida court twice ordered Mrs Schiavo's feeding tube to be removed and Jeb Bush, the governor of Florida, overruled it. The final removal of the tube, on March 18th, was followed by an extraordinary scene, in the early hours of March 21st, when George Bush signed into law a bill allowing Mrs Schiavo's parents to appeal yet again to a federal court. But by then the courts, and two-thirds of Americans, thought that enough was enough. On March 24th the Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
The first paragraph implies that ______.
A.Terri Schiavo had a miserable childhood
B.Terri Schiavo had a vicious brother Bobby.
C.an accidental event indicates Terri Schiavo's horrible ending.
D.Terri Sehiavo is an unfortunate woman

During the weeks since then the pains had come ever more frequently, and the narrowed eyes be came an almost lasting part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John's father kept his thoughts to himself more and more. John, as ready as possible to make allowances (体谅), tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad-tempered that would make you.
So his mother would go into hospital for a few days. He was going to stay with his Aunt Daisy till she came back, and his father would stay on at home by himself. John's cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round, now and again. That was the arrangement, and John didn't care much for it. Apart from missing his mother (and she was glad she was going away be cause they would make her better), he wasn't very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than her mother.
Mrs, Weston went to see her doctor ______.
A.as soon as she realized that something was wrong
B.only after her husband advised her to
C.a long time after the trouble began
D.when John asked what was wrong with her
