  Most people need to hear those “three little words”-I love you.Once in a while, they hear them just in time.I met Connie the day she was admitted to the hospital ward, where I worked as a woman volunteer.Her husband, Bill, stood nervously nearby as she was transferred to the hospital bed.Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer, she was cheerful.We got her settled in.I asked if she needed anything.

  “Oh, yes,” she said, “would you please show me how to use the TV?I enjoy the soaps.”Connie was a romantic.She loved soap operas, and movies with a good love story.As we became acquainted, she said how frustrating it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman.”

  “Oh, I know Bill loves me,” she said, “but he has never been one to say he loves me.”She sighed and looked out of the window at the trees in the courtyard.“I'd give anything if he'd say ‘I love you,’ but it's just not in his nature.”

  Bill visited Connie every day.In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps.Later, when she began sleeping more, he paced up and down the hallway outside her room.Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.

  He talked about having worked as a carpenter.He and Connie had no children, but they'd been enjoying retirement by travelling, until Connie got sick.Bill could not express his feelings about the fact that his wife was dying.

  One day, over coffee I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives; how we love to get cards and love letters.

  “Do you tell Connie you love her?” I asked(knowing his answer), and he looked at me as if I was crazy.

  “I don't have to,” he said.“She knows I do!”

  “I'm sure she knows,” I said, “but she needs to hear what she has meant to you all the years.”

  We walked back to Connie's room.Bill disappeared inside, and I left to visit another patient.The date was February 12.

  Two days later I walked down the ward at noon.There stood Bill, leaning up against the wall in the hallway, staring at the floor.The head nurse told me that Connie had died at 11 a.m.

  When Bill saw me, he allowed himself to come into my arms.His face was wet with tears.Finally, he leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath.“I have to say something,” he said.“I have to say how good I feel about telling her.”He stopped to blow his nose.“I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her…and loved being married to her.You should have seen her smile!”

  I went into the room to say my own good-bye to Connie.There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill.“To my wonderful wife…I love you.”

(1)

Sometime today—perhaps several times—Dick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.

Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours and laughter every day.

The young man saved Winter's life by signing an organ donor card(器官捐献卡).

“I can't say thank you enough,” Winter said yesterday at a news conference marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.

What Winter knows of the 19?year?old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate

 his organs for transplantation.

His liver(肝脏) went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble. “Not a day goes by that I don't think of what a painful thing it must have been for them,”Winter said yesterday.

“They are very, very special people.”

Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to

 collect some more next year in Japan.

“At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it's expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better.”

The biggest change for Winter, however, isn't that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about

his life now.

“I have no time for arguments,” said Winter.

“You change everything. Material things don't mean as much. Friendships mean a lot.”

Also at yesterday's news conference was Dr Gray Levy, Winter's doctor.

Levy said he has bitter?sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic exploits.

Levy knows that for every recipient(接受者) like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren't enough donated organs.

“For every Mr Winter,we have five to 10 people that will never be given the chance that Mr Winter was given,” Levy said.

Levy said greater public awareness and more resources are needed. He noted that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive 10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors' families.

1.Which of the following is true about the 19-year-old?

A.He died of liver trouble.

B.He got wounded in a battle.

C.He was willing to donate his organs.

D.He became a recipient of a prize.

2.What do we learn about Dick Winter?

A.He is becoming less competitive now.

B.He is always thinking about his early life.        

C.He knows all about the young man and his family.

D.He values friendships more than material things. 

3.Dr Levy would agree that ________.

A.Spanish hospitals have more favorable conditions for organ transplant

B.the Canadian public have realised the importance of organ donation

C.Spanish hospitals received more money from the donors

D.Canadian hospitals now have enough donated organs

4.What's the author's purpose in writing this article?

A.The public should give more support to organ transplant.

B.Transplant patients are thankful for the help they receive.

C.Transplant can change a patient's life greatly.

D.It is not easy to get organs for transplant.
