Day 6, Page 9-Page 1 1, Chapter 1, Section 6.

Subject: Dr. Armstrong, a successful doctor.

Previous review:

Like the top five, Dr. Armstrong is on his way to Soldier Island. The difference is that he didn't take the train, but drove his Morris car on the Salisbury Plain.

Dr. Armstrong has a clinic in London, which is very famous and successful. However, he feels extremely tired, and success always comes at a price ... people are inevitably tired of fame.

Looking back, he dressed up and sat in a luxurious and well-equipped clinic, waiting for the patient to come to the door. His future is uncertain, his heart is dim, and the past is unbearable.

Finally, he succeeded!

He is a good doctor. However, being a good doctor is not enough to succeed. You must also have good luck. There is no doubt that Dr. Armstrong has caught up with good luck. Skillful medical skills and good luck make it difficult to succeed.

An accurate diagnosis, two grateful rich and powerful female patients-then, the news (about his superb medical skills) spread like wildfire.

There is no doubt that Dr. Armstrong has succeeded. The clinic is full of patients every day, and his career is smooth sailing.

Therefore, Dr. Armstrong was very happy to leave London in the hot August and go to devon island to relax for a few days.

Of course, this trip is not entirely a holiday. Although the letter that Dr. Armstrong received was vague, the check attached to it was very clear. The Owen family must be very rich, otherwise they wouldn't write such a high check.

According to this letter, there seems to be some trouble. The husband was worried about his wife's health and wanted a physical examination report, so he asked a doctor for examination, but he was afraid of scaring his wife. So he asked the doctor to pretend to be an ordinary guest and not to mention treatment.

Nerve! The doctor raised his eyebrows. Women are always neurotic. However, it is good for his business. Half the women who met him were fine. Just making a fuss. You won't get any thanks for telling them the truth. Fortunately, he knows how to deal with them, and his words always fill patients with hope and trust.

Come to think of it, it's been ten years, no, fifteen years, and that time he almost collapsed. Fortunately, since then, he has recovered and never touched alcohol again. Up to now, he shudders at the thought of it, as if it had happened before his eyes. ......

"Tick-tock-tock!" A deafening horn sounded in Dr. Armstrong's ear, and a super sports car in Darmain roared past him at a speed of 80 mph (130 km/h), and Dr. Armstrong almost ran into a roadside fence.

Another young man who is crazy about racing. Dr. Armstrong said to himself, "This damn fool!"

What did Dr. Armstrong do fifteen years ago? Who is this idiot?

Listen to the next decomposition.

Poor knowledge of English:

Practical phrases and sentences:

1.wordhave about/around/round: It means "news spreads quickly". The English definition is that when word about/around/round/round, news spreads quickly among a group of people.

Be rolling in money/it: it means "very rich, rich in money", and the English definition is (informally) having a lot of money.

Success has its price. The literal translation of this sentence is "the price of success".

The ball has started rolling, and the literal translation of this sentence is "the ball has started rolling" The story of Armstrong's superb medical skills spread widely in the original text, so this sentence means "Armstrong's career has been smooth since then."

3 and 4, two sentences are templates to describe successful people, short and pithy, and can be used when you remember.

-The above knowledge comes from "reading with mint".
