阅读理解
Three years ago I worked for a few weeks as
a doctor in a new dental clinic(牙科诊所)at Victor Harbor to the south of Adelaide and an hour further away
than my usual workplace. My first day there was a driving to a new clinic and
getting used to the clinical environment.
As it was all new to me, I took off my
rings: my wedding ring, and one that was an anniversary(周年纪念日)gift from my husband. I put
them in a tissue(纸巾)and placed them beside my computer.
During my lunch break, I noticed the tissue and thought that it did not look
very clean and threw it into the rubbish bin. I went about my work and my day
went well; I met new patients and felt that I had been productive
Driving home at the end of the day, just
moments before I reach that were missing. I felt the heat in my body rise, my
cheeks(脸颊)burning red. I felt sick to my
stomach.
I spat an hour or so making calls, trying to
find my rings. The first people I called were and clinical leader and they gave
me a few phone numbers for cleaners I got in touch with already who managed the
leaning services for the clinic, and she told me that the bins had already been
collected.
I knew nothing could be done now. I had lost
my rings. Bu after two or so hours, I received the most amazing phone cal. The
cleaner had gone through the bins and found my rings! I was so thankful to her,
someone who had taken the trouble to go through the bins-which is not a
pleasant task-to find my priceless rings.
I worked at that clinic the following day, so
I bought chocolates to thank this wonderful person. Unfortunately I did not get
to meet her as she was not at work that day.
