B
In one of the old buildings near our school，one could see an old man sitting by a
large window on the first floor.His name was James.During the three years at school，I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.
He was a high－ranking government official and lived happily with his wife.Once there was a bus accident，in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment.James was responsible for the rescue operation.It was a big hospital，but James was shocked to notice how ill－equipped it was.There were no enough life－saving drugs and life－supporting equipment.The injured and their companions had to struggle there.James attempted to help.However，though he emptied his pockets，many of them died that day.
That was a turning point in his life.He made a decision to devote his life to helping others，particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions.He began spending much of his income on these people.Since this required a lot of time and energy，he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire，which，in turn，rced his income considerably.
His wife was deeply worried.Most of the time，James was out and paid least attention to home affairs.Meanwhile，as he was spending a lot helping others，she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses.Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor，she urged him not to overlook his own life and home，but it had no effect on him.One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him，never to return.Though he continued with his work，this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors.That was
when he took his position by the window，spending his time looking outside.
A few weeks after my graduation，I returned to school，only to find the buildings gone.I heard that they were torn down.All the people left except James.He refused to go and the next morning，he was found at his usual place by the window，dead. 【语篇解读】 该文讲述了詹姆斯决心献身慈善事业，却忽略了事业与家庭之间的平衡，以致妻子愤然离去。受到打击的詹姆斯从此身体日渐衰弱、精神涣散，终日坐在窗前等待妻子归来，直到死去。 4．What changed James’ view toward life?
