好心反遭报应

Eddie liked music very much when he was at school, but when he went to the university he decided to study medicine, instead of music. When he passed his examinations and became a doctor, he had to work in a hospital for some time. There he discovered that a lot of the patients were happier and caused less trouble if pleasant music was played to them. When Eddie got an office and

began to work for himself, he decided to keep his patients happy by having a

tape recorder in his waiting room play beautiful music for them.

音机，播放优美的音乐给病人听，让他们快乐一点。

滑雪课
