Question

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、 B、 C和D)中。选出最佳选项。

Doctors are known to be terrible pilots．They don't listen because they already know it all．I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school．I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon．I loved flying．As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理)，or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer．It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions．

I first read about CRM in 1980．Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather．The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready．The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot, He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架）down．He was a better pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up．But I had to: Our lives were in danger．I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put the landing gear down now!” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since．

CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up．It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again．So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others．Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up．But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from "landing gear up"．

【解析】

1.】题目问的是作者对普通医生（doctors in general）的看法。从文中第一段的第一、二句Doctors are known to be terrible pilots．They don't listen because they already know it all可知，作者认为医生一般都不愿意听取意见，选B。

2.】在一次飞行事故中，作者的老板在操作飞机降落时忘记把起落架放下来，这时作者向老板提出我们现在需要把起落架放下来，从而拯救了机组成员。这个事件让作者对CRM有了更深刻的认识，选A。

3.】landing gear up把起落架抬起，结合该词组在文中语境，可以知道在飞机降落时起落架抬起是有生命危险的，所以keep me from landing gear up指会给生命带来危险的错误。

4.】文中第一段提到，but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon做飞行员让我变成了更棒的外科医生，在第二段中作者讲述了一起飞行事件使他领悟了勇敢发声可以挽救生命，选B。
