(1)I believe listening is powerful Medicine.
(2)Studies have shown it takes a physician about 18 seconds to interrupt a patient after he begins talking.
(3)It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I approached her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, struggling to put socks on her swollen feet. I crossed the threshold, spoke quickly to the nurse, and scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear.
(4)I leaned on the bedrail looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I launched into a monologue that went something like this: "How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him."
(5)She stopped me with a stern, authoritative voice. "Sit down, please. This is my story, not your story."
(6)I was surprised and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the stress of this contributed greatly to her health problems.
(7)After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
(8)Each story is different. Some are detailed: others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander without a clear conclusion. Some are true: others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard-without interruption, assumption or judgment.
(9)Listening to someone’s story costs less than expensive diagnostic testing but is the key to healing and diagnosis.
(10)I often thought of what that woman taught me, and I reminded myself of the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected twist, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化)at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time—in a wheelchair.
(11)For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to resign when my hands were affected. I still teach my students and other health care professionals, but now from the perspective of physician and patient.
The older woman seemed______ after telling her story to the author.
选项
A、satisfied
B、worried
C、happy
D、nervous
答案
A
解析
根据题干的after telling her story to the author定位到第7段。该段提到,作者听完故事之后询问老妇人是否还有事可以代劳时,老妇人摇摇头、笑了笑,而且还说只要听她讲话就够了,可见在她的倾诉欲望已经达到时,她感到的是满意。据此分析,A正确。文中没有关于“忧虑”、“紧张”的相关表述,故B、D不合文意,可首先排除。较具干扰性的是C,但考生不能单凭smiled一词就武断地认为老妇人是“开心的”。总的来说,C显得过于牵强,应予排除。
