问题                         Joyce Sipes and Mary Ellen Dodge
   When Joyce Sipes was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999, she shared the news immediately with her sister Mary Ellen Dodge. Mary Ellen was there for her--helping her through the terror, and the fear, and the thousand questions that are inevitably a part of hearing the word "cancer".
   Fortunately, a friend at work who had had a similar diagnosis highly recommended Alonzo Walker, MD, Medical College of Wisconsin surgical oncologist(外科肿瘤学家) and director of the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Program. Joyce made an appointment. At an initial consultation, Dr. Walker spent two hours with Joyce and her husband. Joyce was so reassured; she cancelled her appointment to get a second opinion elsewhere.
   Ultimately, Joyce’s cancer required a mastectomy(乳房切除术). Reconstructive surgery took place right away. She came to think of Dr. Walker as her partner, "not just my doctor. "And the Froedtert nurses, she says, were "very unusual and impressive. "
   As it turned out, Joyce would soon have the chance to do something important for her sister Mary Ellen. During her own cancer treatment, Joyce suggested that Mary Ellen should get herself checked through the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Breast Cancer Program. In addition to its opportunities for examination and screening, the hospital had established a program especially for women in families at high risk for cancer. Sure enough, it turned out that Mary Ellen had some cysts(囊肿) ,one of which was dangerous enough that it needed to be surgically removed. She’s fine now--thanks to Joyce’s suggestion.
   Both sisters experienced firsthand how Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin offers more than leading-edge technology and the unmatched experience of physicians in an academic medical center. It offers a comprehensive team approach-of consultation, collaboration, and care-all focused on the individual patient. That’s why Joyce came to think of Froedtert, throughout the process of her treatment, as being her "security blanket".
   Joyce Sipes has been cancer-free five years now-an important milestone (里程碑)for breast cancer survivors. Joyce and Mary Ellen are together once again in their workshop in Joyce’s home, making the beautiful market baskets, bread baskets, muffin(松饼) baskets, and Nantucket baskets that they--and their customers--love.  
Thanks to Joyce’s suggestion, Mary Ellen got ______.
选项 A、an opportunity to work as a nurse
B、the same surgical procedure as her sister
C、a timely check and treatment for breast cancer
D、a chance to work for the Breast Cancer Program
答案C
解析 从第四段我们知道由于Joyce的建议，Mary进行了一次体检并切除了危险的肿瘤。因此C项表述是正确的。“timly”是指“及时地”。
