题型:不详难度:来源:
A nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (/JC^C)between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet.He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldn"t possibly imagine how this had happened.It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out he would never hear the end of jt. When the girls found out, they would never speak to him again as long as he lived.
He prayed this prayer, "Dear God, I need help now! Five minutes from now I"m dead meat!" He looked up from his prayer and here came the teacher with a look in her eyes that said he had been discovered.As the teacher was walking toward him, a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full of water.Susie tripped (绊倒) in front of the teacher and dumped (倒) the bowl of water in the boy"s lap.The boy pretended to be angry, but all the while was saying to himself, "Thank you.Lord!"
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy was the object of sympathy.The teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out.All the other children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk.The sympathy was wonderful.But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred (转移) to someone else—Susie.She tried to help, but they told her to get out.
When school was over, the boy walked over to Susie and whispered, "You did that on purpose, didn"t you?" Susie whispered back, "I wet my trousers once, too!"

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question  36  more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was  37 .When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just  38  or better than any other surgeon”-- then, and not until then, you are  39  a surgeon.I was  40  that point.
41  , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night.The first few months of the year I had  42  the ringing of the telephone.I knew it meant another critical decision to be  43 .Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular   44  , I"d have trouble getting back to sleep.I"d  45  all the facts of the case and, often, wonder  46  I had made a poor decision.More than once at two or three in the  47  , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of   48  , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself.It was the only  49  I could find the   50  of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency,  51  was no longer a problem.Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to  52  this as a constant problem for a surgeon.I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I"d made was bound to be a  53  one.It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is --  54  a surgeon needs conceit.He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he"s bothered by the  55  and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine.He has to feel that he"s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world.Call it conceit -- call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
