Question

My Unexpected Teacher
One cold, rainy evening last October, I was going to interview an old lady in the hospital to gather information for my medical thesis(论文）.
The old lady was lying on bed 4B. I sat down on a chair next to her bed, and in a low voice I introduced myself and asked how she was doing. She        _replied that she was getting better. When I told her that I wanted to gather some information from her, she agreed.
After I finished the questionnaire, I prepared to leave so I could get more medical records. Before I could get up, the old lady spoke up in her        _voice, “I haven’t seen you before, Doctor. Are you new?”
“Not really, ma’ma. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. She started      _, asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening. I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk.
“Doctor, do you think I can get back to my normal life?” the old lady asked at one point.
I replied that while I didn’t know much about her case, I could tell her what I had learnt about the recovery of the patients of her kind. However, I was unwilling to go into too much detail        _I was only a medical student.
The old lady started talking about herself. She shared her difficulties and sufferings, talked about her husband, who was killed in a car accident, and her struggle to earn money. All I did was to nod my head as a way of showing my sympathy(同情）.
      _, I discovered that the old lady had been allowed to go out of the hospital as her condition had improved, though she would still need treatment.
The old lady taught me one of the most important        _ a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients do not need expensive treatment. They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear to them and spend some time to be with them.
