35、tionship is based on trust , and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.I had just started working in geriatrics (老年病科), Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen. I took a mcdical history from his daughter whod accompanied him in the ambulance. Shed been his main car

36、er for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. “Has he lost any weight recently?” I asked, “Well, its funny you should mention that ,but yes.” she said slowly.

I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. Mcmahon, she tu

39、rned to me. “Why on earth did you do that?” she asked to disbelief. I looked at her and bit my lip. “She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.” I said, hanging my head. “And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant. “You dont say the word cancer until its confirmed. Even if y

40、ou suspect it , think very carefully before you tell people.”As it turned out, it wasnt cancer.

They found that people who have something to do, even so

45、mething pointless, are happier than people who sit around.“The general phenomenon Im interested in is why people are to busy doing what they are doing in modern society,” says Christopher K. Hsee, of the University of Chicago. “People are running around, working hard, the way beyond the basic level.

46、” Sure, there are reasons, like making a living, earning money, and so on.

After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 min

47、utes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to.
