A certain hunter had found a piece of forest by chance .It was a wonderful place and there were plenty of animals to hunt there .The only trouble was that the place was very difficult to get to .

       He returned from his first visit to the place in late autumn, and could not get back until the snow melted in the following spring .Then he went to the pilot of a small plane, who earned his living by carrying hunters to parts of the country where there were no roads and no railways ,and asked him to take him back to his favorite piece of forest.

       The pilot did not know the place, so the hunter showed it to him on the map. “But there is nowhere to land there, man!” said the pilot , “I have flown over that part of the country on my way to other places ,and I know that we can’t land anywhere between this river and these mountains”. “I thought you were a wonderful pilot,” said the hunter, “some of my friends said you could land a plane on a postage stamp.” “That’s right,” answered the pilot, “I can land a plane where nobody else can. But I tell you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.” “And what if I tell you that another pilot did land me there last spring?” “Is that true?” asked the pilot. “Yes, it is. I swear（发誓）it.”

       Well, this pilot could not let himself be beaten by another, so he agreed to take the hunter.

       When they reached the place, the hunter pointed out a small spot without trees in the middle of the forest ,with a steep（悬崖）rise at one end . The pilot thought that there was not enough room to land there, but the hunter said that the other pilot had done so the year before, so down went the plane. When it came to the rise, it turned right over onto its back. As the hunter climbed out, he smiled happily and said, “Yes, that is exactly how the other pilot managed it last time.”

Doctor are known to Be terriBle pilots. They don't listen Because they already know it all. I was lucky: 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”.

1.What dose the author say aBout doctors in general?

A．They like flying By themselves.

B．They are unwilling to take advice.

2.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.

A．he saved the plane By speaking up

B．he was in charge of a flying task

C．his Boss landed the plane too late

D．his Boss operated on a patient

3.In the last paragraph”landing gear up” proBaBly means ______.

A．following flying requirements.

B．overreacting to different opinions.

C．listening to what fellow doctors say

D．making a mistake that may cost lives

4.Which of the following can Be the Best title for the text?

A．CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe

B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor

C．The Making of a Good Pilot

D．A Pilot-Tumed Doctor
