As a physician who travels quite a lot, I spend a lot of time on planes listening for that dreaded “Is there a doctor on board?” announcement. I’ve been 16 only once — for a woman who had merely fainted. But the 17 made me quite curious about how 18 this kind of thing happens. I wondered what I would do if 19 with a real midair medical emergency — without access 20a hospital staff and the usual emergency equipment. So 21 the New England Journal of Medicine last week 22a study about in-flight medical events, I read it 23 interest.
The study estimated that there are a(n) 24 of 30 in-flight medical emergencies on U.S. flights every day. Most of them are not 25 ; fainting and dizziness are the most frequent complaints. 26 13% of them — roughly four a day — are serious enough to 27a pilot to change course. The most common of the serious emergencies 28 heart trouble, strokes, and difficulty breathing.
Let’s face it: plane rides are 29 . For starters, cabin pressures at high altitudes are set at roughly 30 they would be if you lived at 5,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. Most people can tolerate these pressures pretty 31 , but passengers with heart disease 32 experience chest pains as a result of the reduced amount of oxygen flowing through their blood. 33 common in-flight problem is deep venous thrombosis — the so-called economy class syndrome (综合症). 34 happens, don’t panic. Things are getting better on the in-flight-emergency front. Thanks to more recent legislation (立法), flights with at 35 one attendant are starting to install emergency medical kits to treat heart attacks.

Let me take you back a couple of years. Come with me as we relearn a lesson, one that has stuck with me, in my present memory, and 36 me yet. We walked into Elida Road Hardware, an old-fashioned hardware 37___ . No automatic door, not a computer in the building. It was one that I went to fairly often. As we entered the door, two sounds 38 us. The sleigh bells of last year made that sweet, peaceful tinkle as we opened the door. The other sound was the electronic beeper that reminded Andy of our 39 .
“Good afternoon, Ryan,” 40 the cheerful greeting. Andy was a very 41 sort of owner. He was of medium build and height, and the smile on his face welcomed us.
We walked across the old wood floor. Andy asked us what he could help us with. I told him we were 42a spring(弹簧). He very patiently replied, “l have lots of springs. You’re going to need to be more specific.”
“Just a spring for an old-fashioned screen door.”
“That’s it. A screen door spring, right down there. ” We 43 where he was pointing, and sure enough, there they were. And knew his store, and his products. That was why I came here instead of Meijer. The service couldn’t be beaten. The price; Yes. But service and44 ;No.
I picked up one and followed him to the 45 .
He figured up the price, doing the math in his head, “ $1.88,with tax comes to $1. 99. ”
“ Put it on my dad’s account. ”
He nodded and smiled, “ Good dad’s account. ” He smiled. “I don’t know what you boys would do 46 dad’s account! ”
He handed me the ticket and as I 47 it, I asked, “You really trust my signature?”
His reply surprised,_ 48 delighted me. “ When I can’t trust Jerry Hoover’s boys, I can trust nobody! ”
We left, and the brain immediately started to forget things, in order of importance. But what Andy said that day rang in my ears. And it rings in my ears today. That’s a tall order to live up to. It’s a high standard of 49 .My father made a fame for that name, and I get to enjoy the benefits. But on account of this, I must maintain that fame. And that’s 50 business.

Learning is natural. It begins as soon as we were born. Our 36 teachers are our families. At home we learn to talk and to 37 and feed ourselves.
Then we go to school. A teacher tells us 38 to learn and how to learn. Many teachers teach us, and we pass many 39 .Then people say we are 40 .
Are you really educated? Let’s think about the real meaning of 41 .Knowing facts does not 42 being able to solve(解决) problems. Solving problems 43 creativity(创造性),not just a good44 .Some people who don’t know many 45 are good at solving problems.
Henry Ford is a good 46 .He left school at the age of 15. Later when his company could not build cars 47 enough, he solved the problem. He48 of the assembly line(装配线).
What does a good teacher do? Does he give students facts to 49 ? Well, yes, we must remember facts. But a good teacher 50 how to find answers. He brings us to the 51 of knowledge so we can drink for ourselves. When we are thirsty, we know where to go.
True learning combines(结合) intake(输入) and output. We take information 52 our brains. Then we use it. Think of a 53 —it stores a lot of information, but it can’t think. It only obeys commands. A person54 only remembers facts hasn’t really learned. Learning takes 55 only when a person can use what he knows.
