It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being humans, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that whenever a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret is expressed.
I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Libel, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia(失眠症) and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Libel said to the man, "Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you. "
After some hesitation, the man confessed that as executor of his father’s will, he had been cheating his elder brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance(遗产). Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his elder brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a check as the first step in restoring their good relations. The doctor then went with him to the mailbox in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears, "Thank you. I think I’m cured. " And he was.
A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it strong. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.
What was the cause of the patient’s disease?
选项
A、Headaches.
B、Stomach trouble.
C、Disturbance of conscience.
D、Some unknown physical weakness.
答案
C
解析
根据第二段最后两句“No physical cause could be found…”和第三段可推知,这位男士的病因不是生理上的,而是心理上的;他一直在欺骗他住在国外的哥哥,阻止他得到遗产,这件事使他不安;在他道歉之后,他的病就好了。由此可推知,他的病因是良心的不安。故选C。
