Twist was the name of an old champion racing horse. He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true  36   still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the   37   that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.

My daughter Stacy had ever had a   38   experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying   39   accompanied the disaster. Although she broke no bones, her   40   , love for horses and the desire to learn to ride were   41  . No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no   42   in curing the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the   43   fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a   44   relationship.

         Fortunately, Stacy’s accident had not weakened her love for   45   in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual bond(紐帶). In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily   46  in coming to the stall with me. She   47   spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the  48   talking to him about her life.

Then one day   49   I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the old guy’s   50  expression and desire to be included, too. So I asked Stacy if she wanted to take Twist out for a ride. In   51  , Stacy looked once again into the old man’s eye. That moment, their two spirits   52   and completed the bond that had been forming over a couple of months. Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didn’t   53   . She only nodded yes. Moments later, I saw them riding   54   together, Stacy winning renewed confidence and desire, and Twist winning his medal of a child’s  55  .

I crossed the threshold（門檻）, spoke quickly to the nurse, and scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear.

I ___39___ on the bedrail（床的欄桿）looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I launched into a monologue（獨白） that went ___40___ like this, “How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high ___41___ they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re ___42___ to see your son who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.”

She ___43___ me with a serious, authoritative voice. “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”

I was surprised and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived ___44___ from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the stress of this ___45___ greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She ___46___ her head no and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.

Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others wander ___47___ a clear conclusion. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard without ___48___, assumption or judgment.

Listening to someone’s story costs ___49___ expensive diagnostic testing but is key to healing and diagnosis.

I often thought of ___50___ that woman taught me, and I ___51___ myself of the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in a(n) ___52___ twist, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis（多發(fā)性硬化癥） at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time in a wheelchair.

For ___53___ I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to resign when my hands were affected. I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the perspective(角度) of physician and patient.

I tell them I ___54___ the power of listening. I tell them I know firsthand that immeasurable healing ___55___ within me when someone stops, sits down and listens to my story.
