1. Canadian journeys
    Travel brings the joy of new worlds, different ways of living, art, and storytelling over shared meals. Often we seek travel in a foreign country to brighten our life this way.

    At Maple Leaf Adventures, we’ve been part of that evolution(演变) of travel on the West Coast. We design locally run and environmentally conscious trips that are off the beaten track. The following are some short getaways and longer journeys we’ve developed to take you away from everyday life and into the magic of discovering beauty, ideas and joy in attractive places.

    2. I learned an important lesson from one of my patients. When I first met Linda, she was only six years old, beautiful and energetic. She had an accident when she fell into the fire on a camping trip, leaving 30 percent of her skin surface damaged.
    Linda would require several weeks in the hospital and three additional surgeries（手术）. Between each operation, nurses daily took her for disinfection（消毒）.
    Overnight, the dressings（敷料）would stick to the wound and have to be pulled away.
Each step was more painful for Linda than the previous one. For an adult, the agonizing（折磨人的）pain and daily fear proves overwhelming. For a child, it has an impact forever. Linda's life would never be the same.
    I took care of Linda for the next several years, revising her scars and freeing areas of tightness in her face and neck. Over that time, her scarring faded and her appearance improved significantly. Eventually, her family moved away and I lost track of her.
    Years later, at a national meeting, I ran into a plastic surgeon I knew who told me he had met a former patient of mine. It was Linda, she was doing extremely well and she was his colleague and not his patient. Linda had become a nurse and worked with him in a burn unit.
    She was the nurse the patients most often asked to clean their wounds and change their dressings. Her compassion（同情心）and her courage in returning to a burn unit inspired their confidence and reduced their fears. Linda turned her pain into compassion. She devoted every day of her life toward helping others overcome their pain.
    Physicians can be frustrated and overwhelmed when we don't have enough time in a day to complete everything we need to do. Linda taught me the importance of slowing down. Among the best gifts we, as physicians, can give our patients, whether in the exam room or at the bedside in the hospital, is to take the time to show the compassion we feel.
【题1】Which of the following words can best describe Linda according to the story?
A．Outspoken.
B．Well-behaved.
C．Painful.
D．Strong-minded.
【题2】What step could cause unbearable pain?
