Friendship can’t be measured (测量) nor can it be weighed. We stopped a few people on the street to find out what part friendship played in their lives. Here is what they said.
“My best friend Mark and I really enjoy spending time playing basketball every evening. Even over 10 years after college, we still get the same amount of joy when playing basketball together,” said James, 34.
“The importance of friendship in my life is more than what I can put into words. My childhood friends recently pulled me through hard times when I went through a divorce (离婚),” said Gemina.
Jane, 21, a student, was in a hurry when we stopped her to ask her the question. She left us with just one line which makes a lot of sense. Jane said, “We all should wake up and realize the true importance of friendship because friends accept you for what you are, not for what you can be.” We think Jane has hit the nail (钉子) on the head.
Tom, 42, said, “I didn’t realize the importance of friendship until it was too late. I didn’t keep in touch with friends, but now I have realized that life is much better with friends around.” Are we all learning from Tom’s lesson in life?
We also met a policeman on duty at the corner of the street. “My friends and I love sharing a beer each weekend. Everything in the world can change but not our dates with our beers,” the policeman said. “For me, the importance of friendship lies in enjoying the time we spend together with nothing to worry about.”

Doctors have discovered a new way to help sick people who need surgery(手术). Instead of making a big cut into a patient's body to find out what is wrong inside, they can now insert a laparoscope — a long, narrow tube with a video camera at one end — through a much smaller hole. The view the camera has of the body's interior is shown on the monitor of a machine outside, thus allowing the doctors to see how it is inside.
If there is a diseased or damaged part, the doctor can perform the surgery using another cable which sends out a laser beam at one end. The beam acts like a sharp knife and allows the doctor to repair or cut away the damaged part. While the doctor performs the surgery, an assistant moves the laparoscope to give him close-up views.
One of the names for this kind of operation is “keyhole surgery”, as the cut may be as small as a keyhole! There are a number of advantages in using this method. Among them are: one, as the cut is much smaller, the patient suffers less pain and so needs less medicine for pain. Two, since the wound is smaller, it can heal faster. Three, as the patient recovers more quickly, hospital stay is shorter and so a lot less money is spent!
But there are a few problems with the method. One involves the use of the laser. As it is not always easy to control the beam, the doctor may accidentally cut some veins(静脉) and cause excessive bleeding. Such accidents do not happen often, however. They will be even less likely as technology and skills improve.

D.He looks at the monitors showing the view the video camera is taking. |
A.He uses the laser beam sent out through a cable. |
B.He uses the sharps knife attached to the end of the cable. |
C.He uses the sharp end of the cable. |
D.He uses a scalpel to cut away the damaged part. |
A.The doctor uses a special key of make the cut in the body. |
B.The cut made is much smaller than the ones made in tranditional surgery. |
C.Like a key, the cut opens up the body for viewing. |
D.The laparoscope is inserted in the cut like a key. |
A.The doctor’s assistant moves the laparoscope to let him see properly. |
B.The doctor moves the laparoscope himself to get a good view. |
C.The patient guides the laparoscope to show the doctor the damaged part. |
