One day when Jack was walking inthe park, he saw a woman he knew sitting on a bench(长椅)with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman.

Jack walked up to the woman and said, “Hello. Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?”

“Of course, please sit down,”Sue said.

Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together.

The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed.

“That's a nice dog”Jack said, pointing(指向)at the animal.

“Yes, he's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture(混合) but that's not a bad thing.

He's strong and healthy”

“And hungry,” Jack said. “He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got

some food for him.”

“That's true,”Sue said, But I haven’t.”

The two friends laughed and then Jack said, “Does your dog bite?”

“No,” Sue said. “He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and good-tempered

(好脾气).”

Hearing this, Jack decided to pet the dog. He put out his hand and touched the

animal's head. Immediately it jumped up and bit him.

“Hey!” Jack shouted. “You said he didn't bite.”

“No, I didn't,”Sue replied.  “You asked，if my dog bit, and I said no.

People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctor's office. At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctor's treatment depended on talking with patients. In general, the communication between doctors and their patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modem age of medicine began with the stethoscope ,an instrument for listening to patients heartbeat and breathing. Before that, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact, there was no such things as a medical examination.

The stethoscope──and all other medical instruments──-had a serious effect, on the practice of medicine. Doctors became better at finding the medical problems. More lives were saved. At the same time, doctors gave less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stopped talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought themselves as broken machines.
