20、of the life of someone who is terminally ill. Like abortion, euthanasia has become a legal, medical, and moral issue over which opinion is divided. Euthanasia can be either active or passive. Active euthanasia means that a physician or other medical personnel takes an action that will result in deat

21、h, such as giving an overdose of deadly medicine. Passive euthanasia means letting a patient die for lack of treatment, or stopping the treatment that has begun. Examples of passive euthanasia include taking patients off a breathing machine or removing other life-support systems. Stopping the food s

22、upply is also considered passive. A good deal of the debate about mercy killing originates from the decision-making process. Who decides whether a patient is to die? This issue has not been solved legally in the United States. The matter is left to state law, which usually allows the physician in ch

23、arge to suggest the option of death to a patients relatives, especially if the patient is brain dead. In an attempt to make decisions about when their own lives should end, several terminally ill patients in the early 1990s used a controversial suicide device, developed by Dr. Jack Kevorkian, to end

24、 their lives. In parts of Europe, the decision-making process has become very flexible. Even in cases where the patients are not brain dead, patients have been put to death without their approval at the request of relatives or at the suggestion of physicians. Many cases of passive euthanasia involve

25、 old people or newborn infants. The principle justifying this practice is that such individuals have a "life not worthy of life". In countries where passive euthanasia is not legal, the court systems have proved very tolerant in dealing with medical personnel who practice it. In Japan, for

26、 example, if physicians follow certain guidelines they may actively carry out mercy killings on hopelessly ill people. Courts have also been somewhat tolerant of friends or relatives who have assisted terminally ill patients to die.31、A terminally ill patient is one who _. A. gets worse every day B.

27、 can never get well again C. is very seriously ill in the end D. is too ill to want to live on32、The difference between active and passive euthanasia is whether _. A. there is an action that speeds up the death of the patient B. the breathing machine is taken off the patient C. an overdose of deadly

28、 medicine is used D. the patient is denied food supply33、According to the passage, who has/have the legal responsibility to decide on euthanasia? A. The national or state government. B. The patients relatives. C. Physicians in charge of the patient. D. The answer varies from country to country.34、Th

29、e principle justifying passive euthanasia in Europe is that terminally ill patients are _. A. living a life without consciousness B. living a life that can hardly be called life C. too old or too weak to live on D. too old or too young to approve of euthanasia35、The attitude of the writer toward eut

30、hanasia is _. A. negative B. positive C. objective D. casualPassage TwoThe swan is mostly silent through its life, unable to sing sweet songs like most other birds. In ancient times, however, people believed a swan sings a most beautiful song just before it dies. The ancient Greek philosopher Socrat

31、es talked of this 2,300 years ago. Socrates explained that the swan was singing because it was happy. The bird was happy because it was going to, serve the Greek God Apollo. Swans were holy to Apollo, the god of poetry and song. The story of the swans last song found a place in the works of other writers, including the early English writers Chaucer and Shakespeare. And the expression swan song has long been a part of the English language. At first, "swan song" meant the last work of a poet,
