问题     It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ ye judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at tire 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 when even a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged and regret expressed.
    I remember a doctor friend, the late Clarence Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of’ signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Lieb said to the man, "Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, f can’t help you".
    After some hesitation, the man confessed that, as executor of his father’ s will, he had been cheating  his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good relation.  He then went with him to the mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. "Thank you, "he said, "I think I’m cured. "And he was.
    A heart felt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. 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、Headache.
B、Stomach trouble.
C、Disturbance of conscience.
D、Some unknown physical weakness
答案C
解析 我们看一看这个病人的情况：他头痛，失眠，肚子痛，但找不到任何身体上的原因，医生叫他把困挠他的事情讲出来。原来他作为父亲遗嘱的执行人一直在欺骗居住在国外的遗产继承人的兄弟，所以他感到良心不安，于是医生就让他给他兄弟写一封信请求他原谅，同时附上一张支票作为恢复良好关系的第一步，做完这一切后病人就如获重释，感到自己病治好了，由此我们清楚地知道病人的病因足良心不安；A、B、D说的都是身体的不适和原因，与原文不符。
