第一篇医生是著名的糟糕“引航员”，他们不需要听命于别人因为他们早已全部知道。
我很辛运：1970年我成为了一名引航员，差不多比我从药学院毕业早10年。
我之前并没有意识到这些，但是成为一名引航员让我成为了一名更好的外科医生。
我喜欢飞翔。
当我开着更大更快的飞机，在更为恶劣的天气的时候，我学到了机组资源管理，或者称为CRM，一种可以飞得更安全的方法。
这意味着机组成员应该听命并站出来为好的结果说话，忽略自己的地位1980年我第一次接触到CRM。
那不久之后，一名主治医师和我正在恶劣天气中飞行。
控制员让我们准备着陆时已经太晚了。
主治医生正在飞行，我是一个保证安全的引航员，由于一个糟糕的转弯他变得手忙脚乱，他忘记把起落架放下来。
他是一个不错的引航员——还有我的上级——所以为他们说好话会觉得很奇怪。
但是我必须这么做：我们的生命处于危险之中。
我把我的不容易抛到了一边然后说：“我们现在需要把起落架放下来！”这是我在CR M压力下第一堂真实的课程。
从那之后我就开始在手术室使用这招了。
CRM要求引航员/外科医生鼓励他人站出来说话。
这更要求当建议来自反方时，医生不会有可能阻止从属医生再次提出建议的过激反应。
所以呢，当我在手术室的时候，我从他人那里获取想法和帮助。
有时候他们不愿意站出来说话，但是我希望如果我继续鼓励他们，有一天某个人会组织我把起落架收起来。
第二篇1947年一群由一位澳大利亚管理者率领的来自艺术世界的名人决定在爱丁堡举办一场国际化的音乐、舞蹈和喜剧盛会。
在第二次世界大战之后，这个主意重组了欧洲。
“Fringe”这个单词作为官方节日的挑战出现了。
1947年，在每个人都有表在同一时间，演的权力的信念促使下，八个戏剧团没有被邀请，在一间废弃了很多年的屋子里他们也是这么做的。

Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother。

”“He won't find out，” Mark said，“I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment。

The answer came during a trip to a park in herNew York City neighborhood two years ago，where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts，a local no-kill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，” she says.Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog，she decided to start a summer dog-walking service.She chose two friends and，with their parents' permission，the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers a nd a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，” she says.“By the end of that summer，we'd collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma，came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling fre sh-baked shortbread to their neighbors.The 11-year-old，who starts sixth grade this fall，has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog，she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”Katharine's passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group t hat can find new homes for them，”Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”Notes：①stray adj.流浪的②shortbread n．黄油甜酥饼【语篇解读】本文主要讲了11岁女孩Katharine是如何关爱和帮助流浪狗等小动物的。
