The nurse had him take a    36   in the waiting area,    37   him it would be at least 40 Minutes    38   someone would be able to see him I saw him    39   his watch and decided， since I was    40   busy—my patient didn’t    41   at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound .While taking care of his wound．I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment

After the earthquake hit northeast Japan on March 11, 2011, many touching stories that I saw with my own eyes happened around me.

I had to walk home since all the  31 had stopped after the quake. On my way home I  32 an old Japanese lady at the bakery shop who was giving out free bread, which made my heart  33 . A middle-aged Japanese man was holding a sign that said, “Please use my  34 .” He was  35 his house for people to go to the restroom.

My friend wanted to  36 others. He stood in the cold with a sign “If you are okay with a motorcycle, I will  37 you to your home.” And then I saw him take one gentleman home, all the way to a faraway place!

Then the next day I drove to  38 my car with gas. There was a  39 of gas now and many gasoline stations were either closed or had very  40 lines. I got  41 since I was behind 15 cars.

I saw a man at the evacuation (疏散) centre 46 when people brought food to him. It was the first time in three days that food had been brought to their center. However, after he wiped the tears, his next  47 surprised me, “ I am very  48 that we are provided with food. But people in the city next to us haven’t  49 any food at all. Please go to that center as well.” And when hearing that, I realized there is a bright future on the other side of the 50 .

After sunset on our last day at the farm I walked out into the desert. In this, the first pleasant moment for a walk after long hot hours, I thought I was the only thing out of doors. Suddenly I stopped. Before me a rattlesnake lay fixed, its head not yet drawn back to strike but only turned a little to watch what I would do. Many snakes will run away at the sight of a man but this rattlesnake felt no necessity to get out of any-body's way. He held his ground in calm watch-fullness waiting for me to show my intentions. My first aim was to take no notice of him; I had never killed an animal if I was not forced to kill. But I remembered that there were children, dogs and horses at the farm as well as men and women with thin clothes on; my duty was to kill the snake. I went back to the farm and returned with a stick. The rattlesnake had not moved; he lay like a wire but more quickly than I could stride he shot into a bush and set up his rattling, warning me by this that I had made an unreasonable attack and attempted to take his life and that if I insisted he would have no choice but to take mine if he could. For a moment I listened to this terrifying sound and then I struck into the bush with my stick and, chop-ping about, dragged him out of the bush with his back broken.

He struck once more at the stick but a moment later his neck was broken and he was soon dead althoughwww..com when I picked him up by the tail his mouth opened, proving that a dead snake may still bite. There was blood in his mouth and poison was dropping; it was not only a dis-gusting(令人作呕的) sight but a pitiful one too. I dropped the body into a green bush and, as I did so, I saw him in my imagination, crawling over the sands as he might have done if I had let him go.
