题目

As a nurse working in the emergency room, I meet a lot of patients every workday. Yet those special “patients” on that Christmas have made a    21    impression on me. It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I was    22   about having to work on Christmas when a pale woman and four small children,    23   that they were terribly sick, showed up at my desk. But when it came to descriptions of their problems, things got a little   24  . They all claimed to have headaches, but the headaches weren’t   25   by the normal body language of   26   the head and trying to keep it still.   27  was wrong. Our hospital policy, however, was not to   28   any patient. I explained it might be a little while   29   a doctor saw her. She responded immediately, even a bit   30  . “Take your time,” and then she added, “It’s warm in here.” At this, I checked their registration form out of   31  . No address—they were homeless. And the waiting room was   32  . I went back to the nurses’ station and mentioned the family in the waiting room. The nurses,   33   to a family just trying to get warm on Christmas, went into action just as we do   34  there’s a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency. We prepared meals for our Christmas   35  . We put together oranges and apples in a basket. We collected from different departments candies, crayons and other things    36   that could be presents. As   37   as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who   38   wanted to be warm on Christmas Day. Later, as the family walked to the door to leave, the mother came   39   back, gave me a hug and whispered, “Thanks for being our   40   today.” 21.
