Honesty，mymumalwaysusedtotellme，isthebestpolicy.Ofcourse，thisdidn'tincludeherwhenshetoldmethatifIdidn'teatallmyvegetablesFatherChristmaswouldfindoutandwouldn'tgivemeanypresents.

Butwhenitcomestomedicine，Ihadassumeditwasimportanttoalwaysbehonestwithmypatients.Afterall，thedoctorpatientrelationshipisbasedontrust，andthereforehonestyisessential.OrsoIthought.

Ihadjuststartedworkingingeriatrics（老年病科）．Mr.McMahonwasbroughtinwhenhisbellywasfoundveryswollen.Itookamedicalhistoryfromhisdaughterwho'daccompaniedhimintheambulance.She'dbeenhismaincarerforyears.Istoodlookingathimasshegaveadetailedhistory.“Hashelostanyweightrecently？

原本在一位医生的心目中，诚实是第一位的；而且在工作中也是奉行诚实本分的处世原则。

可是因为一次说了不够确切的实话，却让一位病人受到了打击，这件事让这位医生得出了一个结论：

诚实有时候也会出错。

1．Thepurposeofthefirsttwoparagraphsistoshowthattheauthor________.

A．misunderstoodthedoctorpatientrelationship

B．wasanxioustoreceiveChristmasgifts

C．regardedhonestyasthebestpolicy

A．hetoldthedaughterwhathesuspected

B．hedelayedrunningthenecessarytests

C．hefailedtoconfirmthepatient'sdisease

D．heforgotwhattheconsultanthadadvised

答案：

A。

细节判断题。

第四段的开头已经表明因为我的一番话，以及本段落的最后一句话也可以读出正是因为我的不假思索，让病人受到了打击，故consultant对我不满与气愤，故选A。

3．Theauthorhunghishead（theunderlinedpartinPara.4）becausehewasfeeling________.

A．guiltyB．hurt

C．disappointedD．helpless

答案：

A。

细节判断题。
