问题     Most patients respond to the awareness that they have a terminal illness with the statement, "Oh no, this can’t happen to me. " After the first shock, numbness, and need to deny the reality of the situation, the patient begins to send out cues that he is ready to "talk about it". If we, at that point, need to deny the reality of the situation, the patient will often feel deserted, isolated, and lonely and unable to communicate with another human being what he needs so desperately to share.
    Most patients who have passed the stage will become angry as they ask the question, "Why me?" Many look at others in their environment and express envy, jealousy, anger, and rage toward those who are young, healthy, and full of life. These are the patients who make life difficult for nurses, physicians, social workers, clergymen, and members of their families. Without justification they criticize everyone.
    What we have to learn is that the stage in terminal illness is a blessing, not a cure. These patients are not angry at their families or at the members of the helping professions. Rather, they are angry at what these people represent; health and energy.
    Without being judgmental, we must allow these patients to express their anger and dismay. We must try to understand that the patients have to ask, "Why me?" and that there is no need on our part to answer this question concretely. Once a patient has ventilated his rage and his envy, then he can arrive at the bargaining stage. During this time, he’ s usually able to say, "Yes, it is happening to me—but". The’but’ usually includes a prayer to God; "If you give me one more year to live, I will be a good Christian. "
The phrase "a blessing, not a cure" in the third paragraph means______.
选项 A、terminally ill people cannot be cured as soon as they get to that stage
B、the combination of blessing and medical treatment can bring through terminally ill people
C、terminally ill people should ask God’ s protection, otherwise they can’t be cured
D、sign of encouragement is important, not medical treatment
答案D
解析 第三段，作者分析了晚期病人们真正气愤和嫉妒的是周围人表现出来的健康和活力，病人本身对周围人并无恶意；首句，作者也提到，晚期病人需要的是blessing“祝福”，而不是cure“治愈”，选项D正确。
