题目

Studies have shown it takes a physician about 18 seconds to interrupt a patient after they begin talking. It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I   41   her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed,   42__to put socks on her swollen feet. I crossed the threshold(门槛), spoke   43    to the nurse, and scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear. I leaned on the bedrail looking 44   at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks.   45  , I began a monologue that went something like this: “How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re   46  today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your   47  who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.” Each story is   48  . Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander without a clear  49   . Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really  50  . What matters to the storyteller is that the story is  51  —without interruption, assumption or judgment. Listening to someone’s story costs   52   than expensive diagnostic testing but is key to healing and diagnosis. I often thought of  53   the woman taught me, and I reminded myself of the    54   of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected   55  , I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis(诊断为多发性硬化症)at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time —in a wheelchair. For  56   I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to resign when my hands were  57   . I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the perspective of   58   and patient. I tell them I believe in the power of   59  . I tell them I know firsthand that immeasurable healing takes place within me   60    someone stops, sits down and listens to my story. 41．A. entered        B. stepped          C. passed           D. approached 42．A.
