On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind, many had a drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with Longtime roommates, and out of small apartments into high buildings. They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine a college year’s monthly rent. They replaced their beloved old car with expensive new sports cars.
The thing is, a number of them have that despite their success, they aren’t happy. Some of unfriendly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they . Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and . However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves working to support the to which they have so quickly become .
People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and the end the idea of leaving, their jobs to work for something they or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion; it’ s . They have loans, bills, a mortgage（抵押贷款）to , retirement to save for. They recognize there’s something in their lives, but it’s to step off the track.
In a society that tends to everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn form a young age to consider the costs of our in financial terms. But what about the personal and social costs in pursuing money over meaning? These are exactly the kinds of us tend to ignore — and the very ones we need to consider most.

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident(进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was 37 . When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon” — then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon. I was 40 that point.
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was bound to be a 53 one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited(自负的) and I guess it is — 54 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit — call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
36. A. at B. in C. on D. for
37. A. self-service B. self-centered C. self-reliant D. self-confidence
38. A. as good as B. as well as C. as far as D. as long as
39. A. indeed B. maybe C. perhaps D. even
40. A. waiting B. standing C. lying D. nearing
41. A. Let B. Take C. Have D. Get
42. A. valued B. avoided C. feared D. enjoyed
43. A. made B. applied C. included D. developed
44. A. condition B. state C. occasion D. situation
45. A. retell B. review C. revise D. remind
46. A. if B. why C. how D. when
47. A. evening B. day C. morning D. afternoon
48. A. flat B. bed C. house D. apartment
49. A. means B. approach C. method D. way
50. A. peace B. trouble C. sorrow D. excitement
51. A. driving B. reviewing C. sleeping D. lying
52. A. expect B. accept C. respect D. inspect
53. A. critical B. poor C. sound D. difficult
54. A. but B. or C. so D. and
55. A. confidence B. conceit C. solutions D. doubts

Last night, when I was driving back home, I noticed a hitchhiker(搭便车的人) who was having no luck getting a ride. I rolled down my 36 and signed to the man to my car. I asked him where he was 37 and he told me he needed a 38 to his doctor’s office which would close in 15 minutes. I told him to 39 and he gratefully did so.
40 he got in he told me that he was a 41 and went out to sea for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and 42 to get another prescription(处方) before he left on the boat. He said that he had prayed (祈祷) 43 would stop for him so he could be there before the 44 office closed. With some 45 driving we managed to make it there in about 10 46. I then asked him how he 47 on getting back home and he said he could walk. “I’ll patiently 48 for you and bring you back,” I told him. He 49 me and said he should only be about 15 minutes.
Afterwards he got back in my 50 and tried his hardest to pay me back: offering me dinner, gas money, even offering to ship me 40 lbs of scallops (海扇贝)! I 51 refused, gave him a smile card and asked him to help someone else the next time he had a 52. I drove him back to where I had picked him up and 53 one more “thank you” he was on his way.
I feel that the universe 54 provides us with what we need. In the man’s 55 it was a ride, in mine the opportunity to help someone else.
