Question

    As a first responder, you never know what type of situation you might walk into, or who you’ll meet along the way. That’s definitely been the case for Jeffrey Lanenberg, a 51-year-old paramedic(急救医务人员) since 1984.

Ten years into the job, Lanenberg received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Lanenberg and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to defibrillate(除颤) and calm the man to keep him under control. After Lanenberg dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.

Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.

＂You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I’d have,＂ the man said. He thanked Lanenberg repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Lanenberg instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago.

＂That day changed my life,＂ Lanenberg said. ＂Before that, everything was about work…When I talk to my beginner-training class, I tell them you never know the impact you can have on someone’s life.＂

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了急救医务人员Lanenberg与其20多年前救助的病人偶然重逢，病人的感激使他对自己的工作有了新的认识。

1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They quickly rushed to defibrillate(除颤) and calm the man to keep him under control.”可知，Lanenberg给那个年轻人做了除颤和镇静等急救措施，故A项正确。

2.观点态度题。根据第三段中的“Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago…”可知，在偶遇以前救助过的病人之前，Lanenberg以为自己经历了一切，言外之意，他怎么也想不到自己竟会遇到以前救助过的病人，由此可知，Lanenberg认为这是难以置信的，故A项正确。

3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought I’d have”可知，那人说Lanenberg给了他比想象中多20年的时间，也就是说他认为他现在的生活是Lanenberg给他的，故C项正确。

4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Before that, everything was about work…the impact you can have on someone’s life.”可知，在那之前，一切都是关于工作的，与以前救助过的病人偶遇之后，Lanenberg告诉学生们你永远不会知道你对别人的生活会产生什么影响，由此可知，这件事改变了Lanenberg对工作的态度，故A项正确。
