—Oh. ________ I haven't seen her these days.

        Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole（完整的）, so it went around looking for its 1piece. But because it was 2 and therefore could roll only very slowly, it 3 the flowers along the way. It 4with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but 5of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and 6searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted 7. It incorporated (把……并入) the missing piece into itself and began to roll. 8it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, 9fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it 10 ， left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

        The 11 of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange 12 we are more whole when we are missing something. In some way，the man who has 13 is a poor man. He will never know what it 14 like to nourish (滋养) his soul with the dream of something15. When we accept that 16 is part of being human and when we can continue rolling 17 life and appreciate it, we will have 18 wholeness that others can only desire(渴望), which, I believe, is 19 God asks of us — not “Be perfect”， not “Don't even make a mistake”, 20“Be whole”．

       When it comes to medical care, many patients and doctors believe “more is better.” But what they do not realize is that overtreatment—too many scans, too many blood tests, too many procedures—may bring harm. Sometimes a test leads you down a path to more and more testing, some of which may be invasive, or to treatment for things that should be left alone.

       Terrence Power, for example, complained that after his wife learned she had Wegener's disease, an uncommon disorder of the immune system, they found it difficult to refuse testing recommended by her doctor. The doctor insisted on office visits every three weeks, even when she was feeling well. He frequently ordered blood tests and X－rays, and repeatedly referred her to specialists for even minor complaints. Even when tests came back negative, more were ordered, and she was hospitalized as prevention when she developed a cold.   She had as many as 25 doctor visits during one six－month period. The couple was spending about $30,000 a year for her care.

       After several years of physical suffering and near financial ruin from the medical costs, the couple began questioning the treatment after discussing with other patients in online support groups. “It's a really hard thing to determine when they've crossed the line，” Mr. Power said. “You think she's getting the best care in the world, but after a while you start to wonder: What is the purpose？” Mr. Power then spoke with his own primary care doctor, who advised him to find a new specialist to oversee Mrs. Power's care. Under the new doctor's care, the regular testing stopped and Mrs. Power's condition stabilized. Now she sees the doctor only four or five times a year.
