Question

【題目】 It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. She was an old woman, sitting on her bed, trying to put socks on her swollen（腫脹的）feet. I walked in, spoke quickly to the nurse, and saw from her chart that she was in a good condition.

She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I started a monologue（長篇大論）："How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure are also good today. The nurse said you're anxious to see your son who's visiting you today from far away. I believe you really look forward to seeing him."

She stopped me with a serious voice. "Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story."

I was surprised and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him for five years. She believed that the big stress of this was a big reason for her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do. She shook her head and smiled. All she had wanted me to do was listen.

Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are vague（含糊的）. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard.

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文敘述了作者作為醫(yī)生的一次親身經(jīng)歷，一位老婦人向作者講述了她自己的故事，對于這位老婦人來說，重要的是作者可以傾聽她的故事。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)下文“Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”可知，此處是老婦人讓醫(yī)生坐下聽自己講故事，所以此處作者的身份是醫(yī)生。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“and saw from her chart that she was in a good condition”可知，根據(jù)這位老婦人的圖標，這位老婦人身體狀況良好。故選C。

【3】詞義猜測題。Nervous緊張不安的；Surprised驚訝的；Sorry抱歉的；Upset心煩的。根據(jù)下一句“I believe you really look forward to seeing him.”可知，此處是“作者認為老婦人非�？释�見到自己的兒子”；anxious是形容詞，意為“憂慮的，渴望的”，be anxious to do sth.渴望做某事，所以此處anxious可以用nervous替代。故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard.

”可知，對講故事的人來說，重要的是故事被聽到了，所以說我們應該學著傾聽別人。故選D。
