完形填空35

　　1． There are great doctors and perhaps it is enough to say that Dr Charles Mayo was one．

　　36

　　，it is not enough for me．

　　Charles Mayo was not a

　　37

　　of mine in the sense that he would

　　38

　　by for dinner or remember my daughter’s graduation．We were not that

　　39

　　，for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California．He was a friend in the sense that he

　　40

　　more like a friend than a doctor when he was being a doctor．

　　I got very close to him just once．More

　　41

　　，he got very close to me．I was flying my own plane to Washington and I felt a serious

　　42

　　in my back．It turned around，

　　43

　　for a clinic nearby and got in

　　44

　　with Dr Jan，my doctor．Jan at once said I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) and I told him he was the

　　45

　　doctor I had ever met．“I have no fever and any other symptoms of it．How can I

　　46

　　have appendicitis?”

　　“If you want to

　　47

　　better as quickly as possible，we’ll have Charles Mayo look at you．”It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to

　　48

　　to Jan’s request．

　　Charles was washing his hands when I was

　　49

　　into the operation room．I said，my

　　50

　　shaking，“You have done this before，haven’t you?”

　　“Of course，”he said．“Twice．”

　　Among all his interests he was craziest about being a doctor．He faced

　　51

　　often enough to know that while it is final in a sense，it is not

　　52

　　final at all．He enjoyed

　　53

　　too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now．

　　54

　　he died on July 29，1968，at the age of seventy，following an accident，he lived on in the

　　55

　　of his books．I am glad he wrote them，giving people the feeling that we still have him．
