It was the night before the composition was due. As I looked at the list of topics (题目) , "The Art of Eating Spaghetti (意大利面条)" caught my eye. The word" spaghetti" brought back the  36   of an evening at Uncle Allen's in Belleville   37   all of us were seated around the table and Aunt Pat   38 spaghetti for supper. Spaghetti was an exotic (外来的) treat in   39    days. Never had I eaten spaghetti, and  40   of the grown-ups had enough experience to be   41   it. What laughing  42  we had about the  43  respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.   44    , I wanted to write about that, but I wanted to   45   it down simply for my own   46   , not for Mr. Fleagle, my composition teacher.  47   , I would write something else.

When I finished it the night was half gone and there was no   48   left to write a proper com position for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to   49    my work. Two days pas­sed before Mr. Fleagle returned the  50    papers. He said, "Now, class, I want to read you a composition, 'The Art of Eating Spaghetti’. "

My words! He was reading my words out   51  to the whole class.  52  laughed, then the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment. I did my best not to show   53   , but what I was feeling was pure happiness,   54  my words had the power to make people  __55  .

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: "Mm. 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 1 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 lugh. 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 hex 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 (诊断), treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.               

61. The writer smiled while reading the patient message because he knew_____.

A. Mrs. Jones would ask for more tests

B. the patient was being unreasonable

C. the nurse was joking with him

D. Mrs. Jones would call him

62. What has caused Mrs. Jones' eye problem? 

A. Wrong glasses.                                  B. Medical checkup.

C. Her own imagination.                          D. Chatting on the Internet.

63. The underlined words "clouded her judgment" in the last paragraph probably mean_______.           

A. made her less trustful toward the doctor

B. put her in control of her own feelings

C. made her less able to think clearly

D. put her in a dangerous situation

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects(缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   1 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe    ___2  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been  3  for many years—often from  4  childhood. These stories may have no  5  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  6  my development? I was never  7  to work on cars or be around  8  . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later,  9  , I was at California University, working on my doctors degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I  10  down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the  11  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life  12 and told him about my  13  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  14  is it that you can solve   15  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t  16  from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  17  . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been  18  my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.  19  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost  20  we choose.
