　　(2016·皖北协作区高三联考)We all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next.My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about The Endangered Species Act.My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.

　　Twenty stories later, though, it was the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness—and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer.That was the one that made time stand still.I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤)．Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving.By Christmas, she had become very weak.Some days she was so sick that she couldn’t watch TV.

　　Early examination saves time.But ours was not early.By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor wants it to be.

　　Cancer is a thief.It steals time.Our days were already short with worry.Then came this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time.But cancer also has the power to change us, for good.We learned to simplify everything, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t.Cancer even made me a better father.My work had made me a stranger to my three kids.But now I pay attention to what really matters.This is not a race.This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.
