  Dogs can also go to school to learn how to help people who cannot hear. If a person cannot hear, we say he or she is deaf.
  Dogs who help deaf people must learn many different sounds. Then they must be able to show the deaf person what is making the sound. When they hear a visitor at the door, dogs learn to walk to the deaf person and then walk to the door. And if a telephone rings, they walk to the deaf man or woman and then walk to the telephone. These dogs can also help deaf mothers. If a baby is crying in another room, dogs walk to the mother and then to the baby. These dogs wear a yellow coat to show that they are special dogs that are helping a deaf person. There have been many times when these dogs have saved a life. You may see in a newspaper that a dog heard a fire alarm and lay down near the deaf person's feet. That is the sign for danger. The person knows that something is wrong and can go away from the fire.
  Special dogs can also help people who are disabled in various ways. For example, dogs can pull off their gloves or socks! Think how difficult your life would be if you were blind, deaf or disabled! But if you had a special dog like this to help you, your life would be much easier.

Working Christmas Day
  It was unusually quiet in the emergency room （急診室） on December 25.
  I didn't think there would be any patients, complaining about having to work on. Just then five people showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.
  "Are you all sick?" I asked doubtfully.
  "Yes," she said weakly and lowered her head.
  But when it came to descriptions of their problems, things got a little unclear. Two of the children had headaches, but I couldn't find any 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 hurting. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
  Something was wrong, but I didn't say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She replied, "Take your time; it's warm in here."
  I checked the form after the admitting clerk had finished her work with the family. No
address — they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
  I looked out at the family standing by the Christmas tree. The youngest one was pointing at the television and shouting something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at the colorful Christmas tree.
  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 pity for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there's a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.
  We were all offered a free meal in the hospital dining hall on Christmas Day, so we prepared a big one for our Christmas guests. We needed presents, too. We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things 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, and beyond the expectations, 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."
38. Why did the family come to the hospital?
    A. They were sick.                       B. They were cold and hungry.
  C. They wanted to visit friends.               D. They got all their money lost.
39. How did the writer and her workmates help the family?
  A. They offered a free meal to them.
  B. They bought some presents for them.
  C. They sent for a doctor for them.
  D. They asked them to stay overnight in the hospital.
40. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. The mother was seriously ill.
    B. The family were driven out of the hospital.
    C. The writer and her workmates always liked to work on Christmas.
    D. The family thanked the writer and her workmates for their kindness.
