I   10   again on his jaw. Leo's mouth was like a steel trap. I heard gunfire men were trying to get Leo's   11  . But already, with my face   12   in the back of his mouth, I was finding it hard to breathe, I knew what had happened: with the   13   beating on his face, Leo had forgotten me. I heard the gunfire again.

I awoke with an oxygen mask   14   my face, and a doctor was working over me." You're   15  ," said the doctor, "as soon as you went faint (头晕的), the lion   16   you. For nearly three minutes you had no heartbeat!"

As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors’ conversations with patients in the next room.
During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.
After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.
