Book 3 Unit 2 Healthy eating 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Ⅰ.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.
