The sun was shining as Kevin walked to the old bench （长凳） where he met Mike every afternoon after school. They were good friends and loved to play football. They didnt have enough money to buy a real football， but Mike had made a ball out of old socks covered with a piece of plastic. It wasnt beautiful， but it worked well. The two friends always played it until very late.

After school， Mike and Kevin met again at the old bench. Soon the home-made ball was spinning （旋转） across the grass as the boys laughed and shouted happily. The ball was stopped by a boy wearing a nice pair of sneakers （运动鞋）. Kevin was upset when he saw it was Steven.

The next morning， Kevins mother gave him an envelope （信封）. “Your uncle sent you a birthday present，” she smiled. Kevins eyes grew big when he saw the $100 bill. Later that day， a pair of new sneakers lay next to his chair， and in the corner， a real football.

The next afternoon， Steven invited Kevin to play football on the field next to the library. Steven did not want Mike to join them only because Mikes sneakers were dirty and he was not good at football.

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.

I was on duty that day. I didnt think there would be any patients， sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk， a pale woman and four small children.

“Are you all sick？” I asked.

“Yes，” she said weakly and lowered her head.

But when it came to descriptions of their problems， things got a little uncertain. Two of the children had headaches， but the headaches didnt go with the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches， but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.

Something was wrong， but I didnt say anything but explained that it wouldnt be long before a doctor saw her. She responded， “Take your time； its warm in here.”

I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address—they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.

I went back to the nurses station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses， complaining about working Christmas， turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action， much as we do when theres a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.endprint

We prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different department candies， crayons and other things available that could be presents. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day， our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.

Later， as the family walked to the door to leave， the four-year-old came running back， gave me a hug and whispered， “Thanks for being our angels today.”

（ ）26. The nurses were unhappy on Christmas day because .

A. they had to work on the day

B. there were too many emergencies

C. it was too quiet in the hospital

D. the homeless family came to the hospital

（ ）27. We know from the passage that the family .

C. got more than what they wanted from the hospital

D. expected to spend the Christmas day in the hospital

（ ）28. How did the mother feel when she said “yes”？

（ ）29. The underlined word “compassion” means .

A. 厌烦 B. 热情 C. 治疗 D. 同情
