An old man went to live with his son, his daughter-in-law, and a four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn’t walk steadily(平稳地). The family ate together nightly at　 the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.

The son and the daughter-in-law became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

The four-year-old son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks（脸颊）. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table.

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

One day, I went to see my last patient, an old woman. In the doorway, I saw she was trying to put socks on her feet. I stepped in and spoke quickly to the nurse. I was almost in the clear that she was not in serious condition.

I asked, Could I help put on your socks? How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they are better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son. He’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit. I think you really look forward to seeing him."

“Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours.” She said in a serious voice.

I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the comer from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that was the main cause of her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.

Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are simple. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others don’t have clear ends. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matter to the story teller is that the story is heard—without interruption(打断) or judgment(评价).

It was that woman who taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected accident, I became a patient. 20 years later, I sit all the time—in a wheelchair.

For as long as I could. I continued to see patients from my chair. I believe in the power of listening.

1.How did the doctor know that the old woman’s son was visiting her?

A. The doctor got it from her chart noting.

B. The old woman told him.

2.What did the old woman think caused her health problems?

A. Her son’s not seeing her.

B. No one listening to her story.

C. The medical care of the hospital.

D. The distance between her house and her son’s.

3.When the patient told the doctor her stories, what she needed might be ___________.

A. keeping smiling

B. interruption or judgment

C. being listened without interruption

D. communicating with each other
