问题     (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.
Previously the author probably taught his students from the perspective of______.
选项 A、listening to their patients’ stories
B、imparting professional knowledge
C、getting along with other people
D、curing the sickness and saving people
答案B
解析 根据题干的from the perspective of定位到最后两段。这两段指出，作者之所以现在改为从医患关系的角度教授学生，主要是从那个老妇人的故事中学到了“应该倾听他人”的道理，受到启发。据此可推测，作者以前可能比较注重传授专业知识，而忽略了病患的感受，故B最贴近文意，为本题答案。A是作者现在采用的方式，不符题干要求。C无原文依据。D有一定的干扰性，但医生的天职就是治病救人，D的表述过于宽泛，故排除。
