We all have our ways of marking time. My life is measured by taking pictures from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about endangered animals. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.
It's the story in Alaska that I'll remember best,though. It was the story about the loss of wild land,during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That's the one that made time stand still. With anxiety,I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤).Cruelly,it was Thanksgiving Day. Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself,it's often bigger than the doctor wants it to be.
Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease,unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us,for good. We learn to simplify it,enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don't. Cancer even makes me a better father. My work has made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is a new way of life and a new way of seeing,all from the cancer.
In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turns out that Kathy's cancer has not spread,and her prognosis (预断) is good. We try to make it all count(重要) now,enjoying every part of every day.
I've picked up my camera again. I watch the sky,searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come,Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all,this is good. This is what we're living for.
32.What is the writer?
A.A sponsor. B. A photographer. C.A doctor. D.A director.
33.How did the writer feel after knowing Kathy's disease?
A.Anxious. B.Innocent. C.Powerful. D.Optimistic.
34.What effect has the cancer had on the author?
A.He focuses much more on his work. B.He spends more time with his family.
C.He becomes a stranger to his children. D.He devotes much more to medical care.
35.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Cancer steals time.
B.Kathy's cancer has spread.
C.The author takes a different way of life.
D.Snowflakes make the family feel cool.
