BSeasickness and sunburn. Taking care of old people in different situations. Mymedical friends did their best to persuade me. Everyone said that running away to seawould ruin my career. But after five sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的) years working as ajunior doctor, I was willing to take the risk.Hungry for adventure, I boarded a bright white ship in Singapore. With 2,000passengers and crew, she was the size of a small town.To my relief, the hospital was well equipped, with an X-ray machine and a bloodanalyzer.That first cruise (航行) was a learning experience, a tight schedule full of safetydrills (演习). There was so much new information to take in. Even remembering whichof the uniforms to wear each day was a challenge. Most confusing, I often forgot tochange my clock when the ship crossed time zones.As a doctor, I was responsible for the 600 crew including waiters, engineers, cooksand navigators (领航员), and I was on call (随时待命的) for the entire ship.Far from treating seasickness and sunburn, as I’d been warned, my patients were wide and varied. The ship’s medical center was essentially a floating emergency room, but we didn’t have a team of specialists on hand for a second opinion. With long and unpredictable hours, it required mental toughness.As you can guess, many of the passengers were elderly. Heart attacks don’t ca re about geography and emergency evacuations (疏散) were difficult to arrange.I recall one such patient, who was taken off the ship on a stretcher (担架) halfway through the Panama Canal. After a terrifying ride in the back of an old ambulance, I was relieved that the patient survived long enough to arrive at the hospital in Panama City.Thankfully, there were several unexpected benefits to the job. I regularly enjoyed the passenger facilities, including the gym, spa and deck buffet (甲板自助餐). I even hosted my own table of passengers in the evenings. On rare days off, I volunteered as a tour guide on trips ashore (在陆地). I got to fly over Alaska in a seaplane and watched a ballet in St Petersburg.I now understand that being a cruise ship doctor is not a job —it’s a way of life.One year at sea became two. I lost my career ambitions, but I redefined happiness in my life.4．What can we know about the author’s first cruise?A．She missed her job as a doctor. B．She enjoyed a relaxing lifestyle.C．She had to learn a lot of things. D．She often felt confused about her job duties. 5．Why does the author mention the patient who was sent to the hospital in PanamaCity?A．To tell that it was difficult to look after old patients.B．To prove that being a cruise ship doctor is more tiring.C．To stress the importance of a well-equipped hospital on the ship.D．To show it was challenging to handle emergency situations on the ship.6．What is Paragraph 9 mainly about?A．The author’s experience as a tour guide.B．The advantages of being a cruise ship doctor.C．The loneliness of being the ship’s only doctor.D．Various facilities for passengers on the cruise ship.7．What does the author think of her experience as a cruise ship doctor?A．It was too stressful to tolerate.B．It helped her build a better career.C．It changed her understanding of happiness.D．It provided opportunities to make more friends.【文章大意】本文为记叙文。
