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 I 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 and 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".

参考译文

都说医生是可怕的飞行员。他们不听别人说，因为他们已经知道这一切了。我很幸运，大约在我从医学院毕业10年后，在1970年，我成为了一名飞行员。当时我还没有意识到，不过成为一名飞行员让我成为一名更好的外科医生。我喜欢飞行。当我在糟糕的天气里飞更大、更快的飞机时，我学习了机组资源管理，或者称作CRM，这是一个让飞行更加安全的理念。这意味着无论机组人员处在何种位置，他都应该仔细倾听，为达到一个好的效果而发表意见。

1980年我第一次读到CRM。不久之后，一个主治医师和我一起在坏天气里飞行。控制使我们转向太迟以至于来不及准备好着陆点。主治医师负责驾驶飞机，而我是安全飞行员。糟糕的转向使得他是如此的匆忙，连起落架都忘记放下。他是一个很好的飞行员，也是我的老板，所以此时本不该由我发表意见。但是我不得不说，因为我们的生命正处于危险之中。我放下我的不安，说道:“现在我们需要放下起落架了!”这是我在CRM的影响下第一次真正吸取教训，并且我之前在操作室里用过很多次。

CRM要求飞行员或外科医生鼓励其他人说出来，这进一步要求在有反对的意见时，医生不会反应过度，而阻止其他医生表达意见。所以当我在手术室时，我询问别人的想法，也寻求别人的帮助。有时他们不愿意说出来。但我希望，如果我继续鼓励他们，那么总有一天会有人阻止我“不放下起落架就着陆”。

答案解析

56. B 考查细节理解。由第一段第二句可知，医生往往不喜欢听建议，因为他们了解情况。

57. A 考查细节理解。由第二段最后两句可知，作者大胆提醒飞行员（主治医师）放下起落架，第—次感知了大胆说出来的力量，并从此以后在手室也这样做。

58. D 考查词义猜测。根据句意”但是我希望，如果我继续鼓励他们，有人会在某一天阻止我犯’将起落架升起来’这样严重的错误，可知，此处”landing gear up”借指所犯的可能会以生命为代价的错误。

59. B 考查标题判断。作者将自己从飞行员职业经历中所获取的经验运用到行医生涯中，使自己善于倾听别人的建议，从而使自己成为一名优秀的医生。B项符合题意。
