I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly 42 to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was 43 to a little college French. I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, 44 unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable 45 I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment. There were some bad moments, 46 by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never 47 to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even 48 bookings, confident that somehow I will manage. The point is that the new, the different, is almost by definition 49 . But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning 50 , the world opens to you. I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for 51 and I believe I can accomplish wonders.

单选题 Is your doctor telling you the truth? Possibly not, according to a new survey in Health Affairs of nearly 1,900 physicians around the country. The researchers found that 55% of doctors said that in the last year they had been more positive about a patient's prognosis (预断) than his medical history warranted. And 10% said they had told patients something that wasn't true. About a third of the M. D. s said they did not completely agree that they should disclose medical errors to patients, and 40% said they didn't feel the need to disclose financial ties to drug or device companies. Really? The study's lead author, Dr. Lisa Iezzoni, a medicine professor at Harvard Medical School and director of the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital, was surprised to learn how dishonest her colleagues were. 'Some of the numbers were larger than I expected they might be,' she says. Why the white lies? In some cases, Iezzoni says it was for self-protection. Nearly 20% of the doctors admitted that they didn't disclose a medical error to their patients because they were afraid of being sued for malpractice. In other cases, it may have been for the patient's benefit. M. D. s might spare an anxious patient from hearing about the slightly abnormal results of a lab test, for example, if it has no impact on the patient's health. Conversely (相反地), the doctor might exaggerate a health result in hopes of motivating a patient to take better care of himself. 'The doctor-patient relationship is a human interaction, and physicians are human too,' says Iezzoni. 'They don't want to upset their patients, they don't want their patients to look unhappy or burst into tears. But they also need to be professionals, so they need to tell themselves that if there is a difficult truth they need to tell their patient, they need to figure out a way of communicating that effectively. ' That's critical for doctors to appreciate, because as well-intentioned as their lies may be, other studies consistently show that patients prefer the truth, and would rather hear harsh news than remain ignorant about a terrible medical condition. Being fully informed is a way that patients can cope and prepare for whatever might occur. As for the failure to disclose medical errors, Iezzoni says doctors' fear of malpractice suits may often be misplaced. Studies suggest that in cases where physicians are open about their mistakes, patients are more likely to be understanding and refrain from suing. So how can doctors learn to be more honest with their patients? More training about how to communicate with people about their health is critical—especially when it comes to delivering bad news. Patients also need to be clear and firm about how honest they want their doctors to be. Communication is a two-way street, after all, even in the doctor's office.
