BDoctors are known to be terrible pilots. They dont listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a

8、 pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didnt 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 sa

9、fer. 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 flyi

10、ng; 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!”

11、 That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and Ive 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 doesnt overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from vo

12、icing opinions again. So when Im in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes theyre not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.4. What does the author say about doctors in general?A. They li

15、the text?A. CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe B. Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorC. The Making of a Good Pilot D. A PilotTurned DoctorCSome people will do just about anything to save money.

16、 were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.

17、y. I took my ninemonthold and took off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged okay, ordered them to wait it out at the airport, to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think Im

18、 a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a bigtime bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar.
