4．I'll never forget the night in 1946when disaster and challenge visited our home．My brother，George，came home from football practice and his temperature sharply fell．After an examination the doctor informed us it was polio（小儿麻痹症）． The doctor felt it was his duty to inform George of the horrible truth that he couldn't walk as others any more．
George had always expected himself to be a championship wrester for his senior year，after just missing it the season before while he was a junior．Mom and dad  taught us that we should never let a damaging thought come into our mind and break up our dreams．
The next day George practiced walking and refused any assistance or even a walking stick that was given tohim．Six months later，he stepped out on the mat as captain of the wrestling team．No one had ever been known to recover so quickly or so completely from this disease．
The next year after being named to start for Missouri Valley College，George caught mononucleosis（单核细胞增多症）．The family was sitting in George's room at the hospital watching the game on TV，when the announcer said，"And George Schlatter makes the first catch of the game"
Shocked，we all looked at the bed to make sure George was still there．Then we realized what had happened．My brother Bob who had made the starting line-up，had worn George's number so George could spend the afternoon hearing himself catching six passes．
George spent the next 3falls season in the hospital．Following each challenge，George came back stronger of his own ability to overcome any obstacle．He had literally been through the furnace（火炉）and come out of It with a soul as strong as steel and he used it to strengthen and entertain a ntion．

6．I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves．One January，I had to conduct two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community．Both had died"full of years"as the Bible would say； both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life．Their homes happened to be near each other，so I paid condolence （吊唁） calls on the two families on the same afternoon．
At the first home，the son of the dead woman said to me，"If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow，she would be alive today．It's my fault that she died．"At the second home，the son of the other dead woman said，"If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida，she would be alive today．That long airplane ride，the abrupt change of climate，was more than she could take．It's my fault that she's dead．"
When things don't turn out as we would like them to，it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently，the story would have had a happier ending．Priests（牧师） know that any time there is a death，the survivors will feel guilty．Because the course of action they took turned out badly，they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home，delaying the operation would have turned out better．After all，how could it have turned out any worse？
There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt．The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense，that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens．That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds．
The second element is the concept that we are the cause of what happens，especially the bad things that happen．It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault．The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood．Psychologists speak of the infantile（幼儿的） myth of omnipotence（万能）．A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs，and that he makes everything happen in it．He wakes up in the morning and orders the rest of the world to its tasks．He cries，and someone comes to attend to him．When he is hungry，people feed him，and when he is wet，people change him．Very often，we do not completely outgrow that infantile concept that our wishes cause things to happen．

50．What is said about the two dead elderly women？A
A．They lived out a natural life．
B．They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride．
C．They weren't accustomed to the change in weather．
D．They died due to lack of care by family members．

C．he had great sympathy for the dead
