Five weeks ago I had a total hip replacement surgery (髋关节置换手术). In Canada, we have great healthcare system. That means we get our new hips for free.

My hip had been hurting me for years before I went to the doctor. Of course, it was free. She referred me to a surgeon, but the earliest appointment was in 10 months. That is what being free gets you. Ten months later, after some free X-rays, the surgeon told me I needed a surgery, which was about an 18-month wait, for some senior citizens had been on the operation list. Another 18 months! I dragged myself out of the surgeon’s office.

Walking through the hospital, I thought about the situation. As the breadwin ner of a large family, I couldn’t wait that long, so I had to get to the front line. I was fully aware of what a Canadian should be like (Canadians are usually considered gentle and caring), but this time I really needed to fight for myself. At that very moment, in the shop window of the hospital, I saw a sign which read, “V olunteers Needed.” Suddenly, an idea occurred to me — I would get the job. Fortunately, they signed me up immediately because the average age of the volunteers at the shop was 75. They were desperate for some young blood.

Every Friday morning, I was at the shop. While seeing the hospital staff, I’d casually ask, “What do you do?” Then I’d tell them, “Well, I’m getting my hip replaced —in 18 months. It’s going to be so great when the pain stops.” Soon, all the staff got to know me. Naturally, in my next appointment, the surgeon recognized me. Moments later, I had a surgery date just weeks away.

I had to say it was actually my volunteering that got me to the front of the line. And I’m not a shamed of it, for I intend to stick with the volunteering. Also, even when I cheated the system, I did it in a way that benefits society.

24. What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. She felt rather disappointed.

B. She couldn’t walk because of the pain.

C. She was too scared to have the surgery.

D. She didn’t believe what the surgeon said.

25. Why did the writer decide to be a volunteer?

A. To donate blood to the hospital.

B. To get her new hip free of charge.

C. To receive some tiny gifts from others.

D. To approach the doctor for an early surgery.

26. What did the author think of her cheating?

A. It was a shame.

B. It was a pride.

C. It was beneficial.

D. It was a fair deal.

27. Which can be the best title for the text?

A. How I Got My New Hip.

B. The Doctor Who Saved My Life.

C. How to Be a Volunteer in Hospital.

D. The Problem of Canada Healthcare System.
