5、After successfully serving their term for 4 years, military service men and women are given the choice to stay in the military or return to civilian（平民）life．

       For some, having to readjust to civilian life is one of the most challenging assignments our returning soldiers and marines（水兵）will ever have to undertake．While people may think readjusting should be simple, they must take into consideration all the physical and mental stress our servicemen went through．

       Post-traumatic Stress Disorder（創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)急障礙）,or PTSD, is a mental disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat（打仗）．

       Most survivors of trauma return to normal given a little time．In the military, the marines are given a two-week course on how to return to civilian life．

       Unfortunately, some will have stress reactions that do not go away on their own, or may even get worse over time．These individuals may develop PTSD．

       People who suffer from PTSD have difficulty sleeping because they are often reliving the experience through nightmares（夢魘）and flashbacks, and feel deserted or often stand off, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly damage the person’s daily life．

       Fullerton College, like most colleges, has its own Veteran’s（老兵）Office．Ray Bustos has been running the office for 3 years．Bustos acts as a liaison（聯(lián)絡(luò)） for the school and the veteran students．He makes sure the veterans returning to school get the right benefits．There are various types of financial aid for soldiers and marines．He strongly encourages the use of the Veterans Affairs website．

       The website is very informative and extremely helpful for veterans as well as for friends and relatives of veterans who want to learn more．

4、Having driven almost thirty hours, I decided to stay in South Carolina for a few days．The next morning, I purchased a three-day fishing license and bait（餌料）before heading to the lake．

       Opening my trunk, I carefully took out my fishing gear（用具）, put it on the lake’s edge, baited up and began to fish．

       “Good morning,” said someone, walking up from behind me．

       Turning around, I saw a game warden （獵場管理員） with a clip-board．

       “Good morning,” I said, nodding my head．

       “Catch any fish?” he asked．

       “No sir, just relaxing and killing time．”

       “Can I see your fishing license?”

       I handed him the license I had purchased at the bait shop．

       “Can I see your driver’s license, too?” he requested．

       “I see the name on the driver’s license is spelled Kiser and the name on the fishing license is Kaiser,” said the warden．

       “The gentleman at the bait shop must have written it wrong,” I told him．

       “Well, I’m afraid I’ll have to write you up for fishing with an invalid license and take away your fishing gear．”

       “You’ve got to be kidding,” I responded, with a surprised look on my face．

       Sure enough I was written up and my fishing gear taken away．I was told that I would have to pay a fine and that my stuff would be sold at auction（拍賣）．

       I stood there almost in tears as he drove away．Those rods and reels were very special to me．I had used them over twenty years, fishing with my friends, who were now all dead．

       After returning home in Georgia, I telephoned South Carolina trying to explain the situation, but no one would listen．I was told that the Department of Fish and Game had a “zero tolerance” for fishing and hunting violations．Finally, in tears I paid the fine and gave up the fight．

       Nine months later, I received a letter．I had no idea who it was from as there was no return address．On a plain piece of notebook paper was written “Auction for the Department of Fish and Game held this Saturday at 11:00 am．”

       On Saturday, at six in the morning I headed to South Carolina．By ten o’clock I had found the auction．There were numerous boats and piles upon piles of fishing equipment．All at once, there it was—my wonderful stuff all thrown in a pile as if it was worth nothing．

       As the auction began I took my seat．In my wallet was twenty-seven dollars．For more than an hour I waited for my property to be brought to the auction block．

       “We have three rods and reels here．I guess we will sell this as a unit,” said the auctioneer．

       “50 dollars,” yelled someone in the crowd．

       “51 dollars,” yelled another man．

       I rose from my seat and walked out of the auction．

       “66 dollars,” I heard as the bidding continued．

       “100 dollars,” came another bid．The auction became silent．

       “100 dollars once, 100 dollars twice, 100 dollars three times．Sold for 100 dollars,” went the auctioneer．

       I walked to my truck, got in and just sat there．Suddenly I heard something hit the side of my truck．Turning around, I saw the back of a man putting my three rods and reels into my truck．It was the same game warden who wrote me the ticket almost a year ago!

       As I got out of the truck he stuck out his hand and said, “I wasn’t wrong．It’s the law that is wrong．”

       I shook his hand, thanked him and drove away．I cried as I crossed the South Carolina Georgia state line．

1．Who wrote a letter to the writer telling him about the auction?

       A．The Department of Fish and Game．     B．The game warden．

       C．A person unmentioned in the passage．  D．The auction organizers．

2．Why did the writer walk out of the auction while it was going on?

       A．He realized he was unable to get back his fishing gear．

       B．He was too nervous to stay inside till the auction ended．

       C．He couldn’t bear hearing people selling his fishing gear．

       D．He knew the game warden was waiting for him outside．

3．What did the game warden mean by saying “It’s the law that is wrong”?

       A．It didn’t make any sense to prohibit people from fishing freely in South Carolina．

       B．The writer did break the law by fishing with an invalid license whatever the reason．

       C．The writer should have been allowed a chance to explain and get his things back．

       D．The auction should not have been held to sell the boats and fishing equipment．

       Unique Tradition from UK

       Boxing Day

       This holiday, which is observed on December 26, is a unique part of the Christmas season in Great Britain, as well as other Commonwealth nations．Boxing Day comes from a tradition that began in the Middle Ages more than 800 years ago．On this day, English churches would open their ‘a(chǎn)lms box’ and distribute its contents to needy members of the community．It was also a day for servants to celebrate the holidays with their families, having usually worked the day before．Today, Boxing Day is one of the twenty-two paid holidays received by most working Brits．Most people now spend Christmas Day with their family and reserve Boxing Day for exchanging gifts with friends．Although the government shuts down for the day, cinemas and theatres are open．

       Queen’s Telegram

       In the United States, if you make it to the ripe old age of 101 or 102, Willard Scott will wish you happy birthday on national television．In England, the queen herself will send her congratulations．This fairly new custom is known as "the Queen’s Telegram" and assures centenarians （people at least 100 years old） that they will receive a birthday telegram from the queen on their one-hundredth birthday．The telegram is so longed for by some Brits that one 98-year-old woman was recently proven to have faked her age by two years just to receive the telegram．

       High Tea

       High tea was first enjoyed by the English working class during the 1700s．This ritual （儀式） began as a practical attempt to hold off hunger pains between breakfast and supper, as eating just two daily meals was common at the time．It was called “high” tea because it was usually taken sitting on top stools in a tea shop or standing at a counter or buffet table．Today, high tea has become a more elegant and popular tradition that is practiced in fine hotels and restaurants around the world．

       Public Houses

       Visiting a pub is one of Britain’s oldest forms of entertainment．The idea for the first public houses was brought to Britain thousands of years ago by conquering Roman army．The first pubs served only wine, but after the discovery of hops（啤酒花） in the fourteenth century, pubs began to serve mainly beer and ale（麥芽酒）, as they do today．

       British pubs operate between 11 a．m．a(chǎn)nd 11 p．m．every day except Sunday, when they must close at 10:30 p．m．The drinking age in Britain is eighteen, but fourteen-year-olds may enter a pub unaccompanied if they order a meal．
