A

One day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play

outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门) with my

foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret,

for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.

Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how

expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. However, my parents

never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against

unwanted insects.

For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake.

For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I

saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my

angry foot. Iwould wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a

flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one

that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhapscould not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done

delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not

burst out so easily.

Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all, I was lucky: I

became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but

becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As 1 flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I

learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new 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 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

pilot—and my boss—so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my

uneasiness sand said, we need to put the landing gear down now! That was my first real lesson in the power of

CRM, and I’ve 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 doesn’t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.

So when I’m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up.

But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.

A. following flying requirements B. making a mistake that may cost lives

C. listening to what fellow doctors say

7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
