They dont listen because they already know it all.
33、I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didnt realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a ne
34、w idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions. I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The
35、attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot. He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilotand my bossso it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put th
36、e landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and Ive used it in the operating room ever since. CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesnt overreact, which might prev
37、ent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when Im in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes theyre not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”36What does the author say about docto
38、rs in general? A. They like flying by themselves. B. They are unwilling to take advice. C. They pretend to be good pilots. D. They are quick learners of CRM.37The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_ A. he saved the plane by speaking up B. he was in charge of a flying task C.
39、his boss landed the plane too late D. his boss operated on a patient38In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means_Afollowing flying requirementsBoverreacting to different opinionsClistening to what fellow doctors sayDmaking a mistake that may cost lives39Which of the following can be the
40、best title for the text?ACRM：A New Way to Make Flying SafeBFlying Makes Me a Better DoctorCThe Making of a Good PilotDA PilotTurned Doctor【要点综述】 这是一篇记叙文。医生要做飞行员会很可怕，原因是他们比较固执，不会听从别人的建议，但是通过作者的亲身经历，发现倾听很重要，提醒也很重要，这件事使作者深有感触。36B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They dont listen because they already know it all.”可以推知，医生通常不喜欢听从别人的建议。37A细节理解题。文章第二段作者谈到自己的一次经历，联系“Ive used it in the operating room ever since.”可知，他通过提醒拯救了飞机。38D推理判断题。上文提到，通过作者的提醒避免了一次事故，此处把landing gear up用作比喻意义，指代可能以生命为代价的犯错。39B标题归纳题。本文通过飞行中的一个事例说明提醒和听从别人建议的重要性，所以说，飞行使作者成为一名更优秀的医生。
