答案与解析：
孩子的行为给作者带来了无尽的折磨，作者常常以泪洗面，但是她把愤怒无声地埋在心底，一如既往地履行母亲的责任。毕业典礼上，当孩子把玫瑰送给她时，她情不能己，流出了幸福的眼泪。
16．C第一段中提到作者在洗手间泪流满面，再结合本句前半句中的内容可知作者“倒”在了地上。sink to the floor表示“倒在地上”。
17．B上一段的后半部分中提到他的牛仔裤和衬衫上到处都是烧的洞，由此可知Brett 经常“毁坏，糟蹋”东西。C项“撕毁”，D项“打破”，都与第一段后半部分中的内容不符。
18．A根据Brett烧毁衣服的这种行为和第二段第三句可推知他经常把房间中几乎所有的东西搞得乱七八糟。此处out of order“出故障，不整洁”。out of place“不合适，不协调，格格不入”；out of trouble“脱离困境”；out of danger“脱离危险”，都不符合语境。
19．B房子的很多窗户需要修理，因为他从窗户“闯入”房子去偷钱。break in“闯入”。break off“(使)分离，停止”；break up“(使)破碎，(使)破裂”；break away“突然离开，放弃”，都与所给语境不符。
20．D然而，所有这一切都不能和Brett对我们曾经安静的家造成的感情“伤害”相比。emotional damage“感情伤害”。
21．A根据本句后半句中的内容可推测在随后的几年中，作者尽可能“耐心地”对待他。
22．B本句中的but表示的是转折意义，且从“I don't want him in my hou another day.”可知，作者在内心深处无法“忍受”他。
23．D作者把满腹心酸和愤怒埋在心底，擦干眼泪，像昔日一样一如既往地对他尽到父母的责任。此处的parent用作动词。
24．C他再次进入少管所表明他经常招惹是非，作者和丈夫把他送往帮助这些“令人烦恼的”青少年的寄宿学校。
25．C上一段后半部分提到Brett被送到寄宿学校，可知这里是在“毕业”典礼上。
26．B每一个毕业生都把一支白色的玫瑰送给对自己来说最重要的人。mean“意味着，表示……的意思”。
27．B根据下文中他所说的话可知他“深情地”与亲生父母和作者说话。
峨眉山月歌翻译28．D他所要表达的意思是无论发生什么事，你总是在我身边。后半句可理解为“no matter what happened”。
29．A“虽然”我给你添了许多麻烦，可是你总是无微不至地关怀着我。此处是“although you were troubled enough by me”的省略形式。
30．C Brett认为自己给养母添了不少麻烦，可是她始终对他“表现出”至诚的关爱。
31．A作者完全没有想到他竟然把玫瑰送给了自己，并且说出了这样的话，所以感到
无比“震惊”。
32．B Brett是在表达自己内心的感激，发自肺腑，所以“紧紧地”拥抱作者。D项“猛烈地”，语意不恰当。
33．D在那一时刻，作者非常感动，眼中的泪水越来越多。gather“聚集”。
34．C此时此刻，作者流出的不是失望的泪水，而是因为“幸福”而流泪。
35．D此处与第三段中间部分的内容相呼应，表明作者过去在心里对他表示过无声的“愤怒”。

Doctors' moonlighting is becoming popular in hospitals around China. It has not only raid a lot of heated discussions in the media, but also has caught the attention of the central government in Beijing.
On December 26, a spokesman of the Ministry of Health stresd that the ministry was firmly against

In China, doctors ud to be controlled by hospitals and they could work for only one hospital. However, as China's medical personnel system reform developed, it has been recognized that medical human resources, just like human resources in other areas, should be shared by the whole society. But on the other hand, doctors' taking part-time jobs should follow the relative regulations applied in the medical field.
First of all, they should follow relative government laws and regulations. They should also follow the r
ules and regulations t by the medical organizations they work for. In addition, they should pay taxes for their income from the part-time jobs. What matters most is that they should first finish their regular jobs as required and be responsible for patients to ensure qualified and safe medical treatment.
