In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out of the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, but for his smile.

Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head cutting!

It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered(传送). Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know，when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.

Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet？When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh, that’s all right. I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的)person is sure to have.

Once Dr．Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man，aged 34，who had a fever and many other medical problems．His condition was not improving，and there was not much hope he would live.

Dr．Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and，in a very gentle voice，asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat.

“Are you getting food you like?”

The patient said nothing.

“Do you get the kind of food you have at home?”

The answer was no.

The doctor put his hand on the man’s shoulder and his voice was very soft.

“If，you had food that you liked，would you eat it?”

“Yes，yes.” the patient said.

The change in the patient’s appearance couldn’t have been more obvious．Nothing was said，but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received.

Later，the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn’t getting food he could eat．One of the students said，“We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals.”

“Suppose，” the doctor replied，“you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn’t carry it，would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?”

“I would probably insist，” the student said.

“Very well，” the doctor said．“You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won’t be easy，but I can help you．Meanwhile，let’s get some food inside this man as fast as possible，and stay with it．Or he’ll be killed by hunger．By the way，there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress，we need to be able to talk with him．”

Three weeks later，Dr．Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable.

1.The patient had no desire to eat because __________.

A． he was not hungry

B． he was seriously ill

C． he was given special meals

D． he was not satisfied with the food

2.According to the passage，we can conclude that __________.

A． the patient was from another country.

B． the patient’s illness was caused by hunger

C． Dr．Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient

D． the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient

3.Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr．Mellinkoff ?

A． Cold.

B． Considerate.

C． Curious.

D． Confident.

4.What do you think Dr．Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?

A． Doctors should know their patients’ real problems.

B． Doctors should be able to speak foreign languages.

C． Doctors should try to improve their medical skills.

D． Doctors should give more medicine to patients.

I had to knock on the taxi to get his attention． Finally， the driver， a man about 60，looked up from behind the wheel and apologized，“I’m sorry， but I was reading a letter．” He sounded as if he had a cold or a cough．

Since I was in no hurry， I told him to finish his letter． He shook his head， explaining that he had already read it several times and almost knew it by heart． Curious， I asked whether it was from a child or maybe a grandchild． “This isn’t family，”he replied． “though he might just as well have been a regular member of the family． Old Edand I grew up together．”

They were always friends． But since he moved away from the neighborhood 30 years ago， it’d generally just been postcards at Christmas time between them． A couple of weeks ago， Ed died． “I should have kept in touch．” He repeated this， more to himself than to me． To comfort him， I said sometimes we just didn’t seem to find the time．“But we used to find the time，” he said． “Take a look．” He handed the letter over to me．

The first sentence “I’ve been meaning to write for some time， but I’ve always delayed it．” reminded me of myself． It went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together． When I read the part where it said “Your friendship really means a lot to me， more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that”，I found myself nodding in agreement．

We had gone several kilometers and were almost at my hotel, so I read the last paragraph: “So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you.” And it was ended with “Your Old Friend, Tom.”

“I thought your friend’s name was Ed,” I said.

“I’m Tom,” he explained. “It’s a letter I wrote to Ed before I knew he’d died. I never put it in the mailbox. I guess I should have written it sooner.” His face was pale as he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away． I had to write a letter and post it．
