查看原文纠错 Ⅱ.阅读理解A
During my first seven semesters as a medical student at Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia，I spent most of my time studying in the classroom.I rarely spoke with real patients in a hospital setting.Then last year I started visiting the neurology(神经)ward at Dr.Sardjito Hospital.I was gathering data for my paper.At the hospital I would review the medical records of newly admitted stroke patients，then interview them to find out if they were taking the pill.
One cold，rainy evening last October，I was in the neurology ward desperately hunting for the final three patients I needed to complete my study.The records showed that there was a 43 year old stroke patient，whom I will call Ms A，in the ward.Holding a patient questionnaire，I went into her room.I asked how she was doing.She softly replied that she was getting better but the left side of her body was still weak.After I finished the questionnaire，I prepared to leave so I could go through more medical records.Before I could stand up，Ms A started making conversation，asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.I was surprised someone in her condition would want to talk.
Ms A started talking about herself.She told me she had three children in primary school，who were staying with a neighbor.Her husband died a year ago and she is the sole breadwinner of her family.I didn t know what to say.I just sat quietly while she talked.Without realizing it，I had begun holding Ms A s hand.
The conversation went on like this for about 20 minutes.A few days later，when I returned to the ward，I discovered that Ms A had_been_discharged as her condition had improved.
Ms A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn.Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or state of the art technology.They just need someone with the patience and willingness to lend an ear and spare a little of their time.

There once was a master who went to India.In those times，we didn t have the communications or airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now.So the master went to India on foot.He had never been to India before；perhaps he came from Persia.And when he got there，he saw a lot of fruit.In India they had plenty of fruit to sell，but much of it was expensive because they can t grow much due to the water situation.Then he saw one basket，a big basket of some very red，long fruit.And it was the cheapest in the shop，not expensive at all.
So he went up and asked， How much per kilo？ The shopkeeper said， Two rupees. Two rupees in India is nothing；it s like dirt.So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it.But after he ate some of it：oh，my God！His eyes watered，his mouth watered and burned，his eyes were burning，his head was burning and his face became red.As he coughed and choked and gasped for breath，he jumped up and down，saying， Ah！Ah！Ah！
But he still continued to eat the fruit！Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said， You re crazy，man.Those are chilies(辣椒)！You can t eat so many；they re not good for you！People use them as a condiment，but only a little bit to put into food for taste.You can t just eat them by the handful like that；they re not fruit！ But the stupid master said， No，I can t stop！I paid money for them，and now I ll eat them.It s my money！
You think that master was stupid，right？Similarly，we sometimes do a lot of things like that.We invest money，time or effort in a relationship，business or a job.And even though it s been a long time，bitter experience tells us it won t work，and we know there s no more hope that things will change in the future this we definitely know by intuition we still continue just because we ve invested money，time，effort and love into it.If so，we re kaput(运转不正常) in the brain，just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn t stop because he didn t want to waste the money he d paid.
So even if you ve lost something，let it go and move on.That s better than continuing to lose.
