Red Cross Blog B My brother Stanley died last January from cancer, and I spent a lot of time with him in hospital over his last few months. I
10、 witnessed（亲眼目睹）the care he received and, at the time, I thought it was poor. It shocked and hurt me. While Stanley was sick, I was a medical student. I therefore put a lot of time and energy in the medical profession. It gave me an insiders view of the care Stanley received, when most people spendi
11、ng time with a very sick loved one only have an outside view. However, as I see now it made me judge the care that his doctors and nurses gave him too harshly(严厉地).

Di
13、d I want to work in a field where people treated patients as if they were numbers on a chart? After Stanley died, I finished my studies and graduated with all the rest of students in my year. They went on to get jobs in hospitals, while I took a year out. I simply couldnt face working in medicine. F
14、inally, I applied for and got a position as a cancer doctor in a busy clinic(诊所) in a big city. Now I was a cancer doctor myself, and I often had to tell patients bad news. It is a terribly difficult thing to inform someone that they have a serious illness. I also found that I couldnt always answer
15、patients questions. They would want to know whether they could be cured, or how long they would live, but it wasnt always possible to say. It was then that I understood what a difficult job health provider do. It made me think back to my experiences with doctors and nurses when Stanley was sick. Per
16、haps what I had thought was unprofessionalism (不专业) or coldness was just a reflection of the demanding nature of the work. I began to see my patients as Stanley, and myself no longer as his sister, but one of his caregivers. Now I was in their shoes-the people who spend every day caring for others.

21、 own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and aboutAmerican kids. Teenagers and their parents feel very different about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parentsworries. It signals yet ano
22、ther generation gap in the digital era. For teenagers, it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after-school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information. “MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I dont hav
23、e all the phone numbers of my acquaintances(熟人). But if I want to get in touch with one of them，I could just leave them a message on MySpace,”said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania. Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about

30、n sense(常识) as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that and sometimes this affects your schoolwork. I read an article in a teachers magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results suggested that
31、teenagers are facing a new problem.

38、your grade? More than a few students have done that. And some seem to do it over and over again. There are several problem areas that can cause students to goof up or do poorly in a test that they could have passed. Some students can become overconfident in their knowledge of the subject matter. The
39、y think they know the material better than they actually do. It is easy for students to misjudge their own knowledge, and when they realize that they dont know the material, it is too late. What happens more often, though, is that some students feel that they are smart enough to be able to guess the
40、ir way through a test. So, they dont bother studying the material. They are overconfident in their ability to understand things. In either case, overconfidence can result in lower grades in tests. Does this apply to you? Another thing that can happen is that students underestimate the difficulty of
41、the test. They expect an easy test, but the teacher throws in a real tough test that they havent prepared for. Sometimes the teacher may cover material in the test that students werent expecting. That can happen, especially if they werent paying attention in class. Finally, there are students who do
42、nt feel that getting a good grade is important to them, so they dont bother to study or even try to do well.
