Question

【题目】 It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. She was an old woman, sitting on her bed, trying to put socks on her swollen（肿胀的）feet. I walked in, spoke quickly to the nurse, and saw from her chart that she was in a good condition.

She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I started a monologue（长篇大论）："How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure are also good today. The nurse said you're anxious to see your son who's visiting you today from far away. I believe you really look forward to seeing him."

She stopped me with a serious voice. "Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story."

I was surprised and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him for five years. She believed that the big stress of this was a big reason for her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do. She shook her head and smiled. All she had wanted me to do was listen.

Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are vague（含糊的）. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard.

【4】D

【解析】

本文叙述了作者作为医生的一次亲身经历，一位老妇人向作者讲述了她自己的故事，对于这位老妇人来说，重要的是作者可以倾听她的故事。

【1】细节理解题。根据下文“Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”可知，此处是老妇人让医生坐下听自己讲故事，所以此处作者的身份是医生。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中“and saw from her chart that she was in a good condition”可知，根据这位老妇人的图标，这位老妇人身体状况良好。故选C。

【3】词义猜测题。Nervous紧张不安的；Surprised惊讶的；Sorry抱歉的；Upset心烦的。根据下一句“I believe you really look forward to seeing him.”可知，此处是“作者认为老妇人非常渴望见到自己的儿子”；anxious是形容词，意为“忧虑的，渴望的”，be anxious to do sth.渴望做某事，所以此处anxious可以用nervous替代。故选A。

【4】细节理解题。根据文中“What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard.

”可知，对讲故事的人来说，重要的是故事被听到了，所以说我们应该学着倾听别人。故选D。
