    When a friend is sad about a tragedy (悲劇), it's hard to know how to comfort (安慰) him/ her. But the
worst thing you can do is say nothing. It could mean that you don't care. You don't have to say much. A
single supportive phrase doesn't require absolutely perfect words to break the ice. Here are some conversation
starters when difficult situations have your tongue tied.
1. A friend loses his baby. 
    Don't say:"Don't worry. You're so young. You'll have another baby." Do say:" I'm so sorry. I can't begin
to imagine what you are going through, but if you want to talk about it, call me anytime."
2. A guy deserts your friend.
    Don't say:"I never liked that rat bastard (壞蛋) anyway!" ( If the couple winds up reconciling (和解), you
could end up losing your friend.) Do say:"Breaking up is always hard to deal with, but I'm here for you,
whatever you need."
3. A friend has a death in the family.
    Don't say:"It's God's will." or "I know exactly how you feel." Do say:"I'm sorry about your loss. What can
I do to help?"
4. A friend loses a job suddenly.
    Don't say:" Work is always boring. Those employers didn't suit you!" Do say:" I'm sorry for that, but I
know there's an even better job waiting for you there. Let's think about possibilities."
5. Someone's pet dies.
    Don't say:"Gee! It was only a cat!" or "My roommate doesn't like her dog and she is getting rid of her dog.
Do you want it?" Do say:"I'm sorry, she was such a great cat. How long did you have it?"
1. Which of the following has the same meaning as the underlined part "have your tongue tied"?
[     ]
A. make your tongue shut
B. tie your tongue in order not to say.
C. have no suitable words to say.
D. say what you want freely.
2. As a whole, what's the best way to comfort your friend troubled with a tragedy?

B. To try to make the tragedy less serious.
C. To tell your friend not to think about it any more.
D. To do your best to make him/her cheerful again.
3. Though your friend is deserted, you'd better not say dirty words about her/ his friend because _____.

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人稱的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁癥), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (懲罰 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (擺動(dòng)) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
