Everyone would like to be remembered. A few people even try to do something that no one else in history has ever tried to do. These people sometimes have their names recorded（记录）in the Guinness Book of Records.
Often it takes a group of people to do something unusual. One such team paddled（用桨划）a bathtub（浴缸）145 kilometers for 24 hours. This group had 13 members. They paddled their bathtub on a river near Ashford, Great Britain on May 28 and 29. 1983. A month later, a racing team of hospital bed pushers in Avon, Great Britain, pushed a hospital bed 16 kilometers in just 50 minutes! However, the distance（距离）record for hospital bed pushing is still held by the men of Bruntsfield Bedding Center. This team from Edinburgh pushed a hospital bed 5,203 kilometers in 1979. It took the team 35 days to cover the distance.
Another group of record makers held the highest dinner party in the world. Nine people from Sydney,Australia, climbed Mountain Huascaran on June 28, 1989. The climbers carried a dinner table. chairs, and a meal up the mountain. When they reached the top, they all put on warm suits for dinner.

　　In the doctor's waiting-room, many patients were sitting quietly and waiting for their turns. Tom, a school boy, was sitting there, too. They all looked very sad except Tom. He was reading an interesting book, and there was a smile on his face.

　　Just then a doctor came in and said he was ready for the next patient. Tom jumped up and ran into the doctor's room.

　　“Good morning, Doctor.”

　　“Good morning. What's your trouble, young man?” asked the doctor. Before Tom could say a word, the doctor made him lie down on a bed. “Now, let me listen to your heart.” Tom tried to speak, but the doctor told him not to say anything. “I'll take your temperature.” Tom tried to sit up, but the doctor stopped him. “Now open your mouth …. Mm, good.” After a moment, the doctor said, “Well, my boy, there is nothing wrong with you.”

　　“I know there isn't,” said the boy. “I just came here to get some medicine for my father.”

1．Who was in the doctor's waiting-room?
