49．A．asked B．said C．talked D．told——青夏教育精英家教网—

　　My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it．I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling．So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house．Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house．I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood．Mom came to tell that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on．

　　I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about．But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark．I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored．He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity．”

　　“What is?” I asked．

　　“To talk, you and I,” he said, “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we re going to do with ourselves now that we re in the situation we are in．”

　　“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised, that here was someone with whom, I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was．

　　And that’s how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started．Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life－from how fast things change, to how they sometimes don't change fast enough．That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be．

　　Suddenly, the lights all came back on．“Well,” he said “I guess that means you'll want to go now．I really like our talk．I hope the power will go out every few nights!”

　　Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy．Of course, this didin’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents．

　　But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients．After all, the doctor patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, Or so I thought．

　　I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科)．Mr．McMahon was brought in when his baby was faound very swollen．I took a medical history from his daughter would accompanied him in the ambulance．She’d been his main carer for years．I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history．“Has he lost any weight recently?” I asked, “Well, it’s funny you should mention that, but yes．” She said slowly．There was silence for a few moments．“Why? What are you worried about?” she asked, I hesitated．She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth．“Well, we need to prove it’s not cancer．” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order．

　　Half an hour later, a nurse called me：“Mr．McMahon’s daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer．” My heart sank．By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer．I stood silently at the end of the bed．My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr．McMahon, she turned to me．“Why on carch did you do that?” she asked to disbelief．I looked at her andbit my hp．“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her．” I said, hanging my head．“And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant．“You don’t say the word ‘cancer’ until it’s confirmed．Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people．”

　　As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer．But I did learn that when somecone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this．In being truthful, I’d made the situation worse．

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.
I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!
