It was a cold night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a bad day. When I was complaining about it, three people appeared at my desk—a tired woman and two children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.
“Yes,” the woman answered weakly and lowered her head. But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending(假装) to cough.
Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. “Take your time, please,” said the mother. I checked their charts—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.
The family huddled(蜷缩) together, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses’ station and told them what happened in the waiting room. The nurses’ station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for “a special emergency(急诊)”.
We took out our meals for our special “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on such a night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, “Thanks for helping us.”
() 47. Before the family appeared in the hospital, the writer was very ______.
A. proud B. unhappy C. pleased D. happy
() 48. The family came to the hospital because ______.
A. they came to visit a patient B. they were all sick
C. they were homeless D. they were helpful
() 49. The nurses offered the family meals and gifts in order to ______.
A. make them feel at home B. make them leave
C. make them feel upset D. make them feel happy
() 50. What does the underlined word “exceed” in this passage mean?
A. 降低 B. 超出 C. 拒绝 D. 升高
() 51. From the story, we learn that ______.
A. homeless people often tell lies
B. a hospital is a good place to spend a night
C. we should always be friendly and kind to those in need
D. nurses are all helpful

阅读下面材料，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
那是一个寒冷的夜晚。我是一名不幸的护士，不得不在这样糟糕的一天工作。当我正在抱怨时，三个人出现在我的办公桌前——一位疲惫的女士和两个孩子。
“你们都生病了吗？”我疑惑地问道，因为他们看起来都还好。
“是的，”女士虚弱地回答，然后低下了头。但当他们开始陈述自己的问题时，情况变得不明了。一个孩子发烧了，但他的体温正常。另一个孩子耳朵疼，但她无法告诉我哪只耳朵疼。这位母亲似乎在假装咳嗽。
事情有些不对劲。但我只是解释说，医生要过一会儿才能接待他们。“请慢慢来，”母亲说道。我查看了他们的病历——没有地址。突然我明白了，他们无家可归，而医院很温暖。
这家人蜷缩在一起，微笑着，甜蜜地互相交谈着。我悄悄地回到护士站，告诉她们候诊室里发生的事情。护士站突然变得活跃起来。所有的护士都行动起来应对“一场特殊的急诊”。
我们拿出自己的饭菜给我们特殊的“病人”。我们还把橙子和苹果放在一起作为礼物。我们试图超出这个家庭的需求，他们在这样的夜晚只想要一个温暖的地方。后来，小女孩吻了我，说：“谢谢你帮助我们。”
