As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X－ray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.Something wasn't right.“Did your local doctor do an X－ray？” I asked.“Oh, I haven't been to the doctor for years，” she replied.“I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that's what I had.”

　　However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn't fit with it—but she'd just ignored this.

　　I looked at the X－ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.

　　Mrs Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her.“I'm_so_embarrassed，” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?

　　63．Mrs Almond talked about her illness calmly because ________．

　　A．she thought she knew it well

　　B．she had purchased medicine online
