2、 many of the native islanders stood in shocking contrast to my comfortable existence. By talking to the local folks，I discovered that the vast majority of the maids，gardeners，waitresses and construction workers who make this island work had little or no access to medical care. It seemed outrageous t
3、o me. I wondered why someone didnt do something about that. Then my fathers words，which he had asked his children daily when they were young，rang in my head again：“What did you do for someone today？” Even though my father had died several years before，I guess I still didnt want to disappoint him. So
4、 I started working on a solution. The island was full of retired doctors. If I could persuade them to spend a few hours a week volunteering their services，we could provide free primary health care to those so desperately in need of it. Most of the doctors I approached liked the idea，so long as they
5、could be relicensed without troubles.

14、” 尽管我父亲在几年前就去世了，但是，我想我仍然不想令他失望。所以，我开始致力于寻 求一个解决方案。岛上有很多退休的医生，如果我可以说服他们每星期花费几小时自愿提 供服务，我们就为那些急需的人们提供免费的基本医疗护理。大多数我所接触的医生都赞 同这个主意，只要他们能够不费力地重新获得执照。我用了一年的时间以及不懈的努力， 但是，我终于说服了这个州的立法人员为那些在非营利诊所里自愿提供服务的医生颁发了 特殊的执照。 镇里捐献了场地，当地居民捐赠了办公室及医疗设备，一些人自愿空出他们周末的时间装 修即将成为诊所的房子。我们把它叫做“医疗志愿者” ，并于 1994 年开业，所有人员都是 退休的医生、
15、护士和牙医以及近 150 名非职业志愿者。那年有 5000 名病人来我们的诊所； 去年我们接收了 16000 名。 不知为什么，我们所做的这些事情传开了。不久，我们接到了来自全国各地退休医生打来 的电话，要求我们帮助在他们社区也开办 VIM 诊所。我们尽最大的努力，现在有 15 个诊 所正在营业中，但我们仍然赶不上需要。不过，上个月，我想我父亲的话在北方发挥了作 用，在迈克内尔消费者保健中心泰诺的制造商那里起了作用。迈克内尔的一笔数额较大的 赠款将使我们能够回应这些需求，帮助在全国范围的各社区建立其他的免费诊所。 NextPage61. 【正确答案】D 【考点类型】主旨判断 【解析过程】文章主
