A brother and a sister got reunited after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwyn & Hatfield Times.

For years John Hannant kept a photograph of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again. Margery, the oldest of the three children, had signed up for the RAF as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby. The family lost touch with her and as the decades passed only a single letter gave a clue to where she might be. The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back into touch.

John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested his writing to the paper.

“That’s what made it, the letter to the paper a few months back,” he said. “It’s as if a dream came true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the floods. She wrote home to see if we were all right. My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”

Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House on the royal estate at Sandringham, Mr Hannant decided to take action once and for all. He and his wife Doreen, traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.

Margery is 88 this year(2008), and she was getting better after several months in hospital. She immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something that I never thought was going to happen, but I always hoped it would.”

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good law yer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him .But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that ,they played for time,… and I left without getting a cent.

My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

25. The author’s roommate offered to help him because _____.

A. he felt sorry for the author

B. he thought it was a chance to make some money

C. he knew the doctor was a very good one

D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer

26. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very ______.

A. friendly

B. greedy

C. professional

D. busy

27. What conclusion can you draw from the story?

A. Going to court is something very common in America.

B. One must be very careful while driving a car.

C. there are more bad sides in America than good sides.

D. Money is more important than other things in the US.

C
