Question

    My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read: “Mrs. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (视觉模糊) ever since her medical test this morning.” I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.

This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting (用……代替) St. John’s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.

My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She’s probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.

What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.

Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose, treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.

【解析】

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章作者通过自己的亲身经历，说明了医生和病人之间要相互信任。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段My first reaction was annoyance.（我的第一反应是生气）和第二段I rolled my eyes.（我翻了个白眼），由此可知，我翻了个白眼是因为我很生气。故选B。

2.推理判断题。根据第三段Still, she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.（不过，如果她没事的话，她是不会打电话来的。我拿起电话。）由此推断出，我接电话是因为我担心琼斯太太。故选D。

3.推理判断题。根据最后一段I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment.（我一开始就知道她错了，她的焦虑影响了她的判断力。）由此推断出，琼斯太太的忧虑使她不能清楚地思考。故选C。

4.推理判断题。根据最后一段Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose, treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.（现在我很庆幸琼斯夫人在我对我们的关系犯错误之前就发现了问题。病人来找我帮忙。他们付钱让我听、诊断、治疗和讲话。这表明信任;我必须记住这一点，也要相信他们。）由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是分享一个关于医生和病人之间信任的故事。故选A。
