的時候要把這些內容全印成紙質的東西，因為紙質的東西比口語更可靠。

【難句解析】
1. Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members.
【解析】此句為倒裝句，強調listening to her，主語為a half a dozen other family members。正常語序為：A half a dozen other family members were also listening to her.
2. All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions.
【解析】本句兩分句由連詞but連接，had heard為過去完成時，表示在家人問瑪雅醫生之前就發生了此動作。I have given just a few hours before做定語修飾the simple instructions，省略連接詞that。
【試題詳解】
29. A) Whether they should take the child home. A) 他們是否應該將孩子帶回家。
B) What Dr. Mayer’s instructions exactly were. B) 瑪雅醫生的醫囑到底是什么。
C) Who should take care of the child at home. C) 誰在家照顧孩子。
D) When the child would completely recover. D) 什么時候這個孩子能完全恢復。
【聽音指導】瀏覽四個選項，應注意到都為wh-開頭的疑問詞，且提到了醫生和孩子，take care of 以及recover，可初步推測此題涉及的場景為醫院，病人為孩子。
【正確項分析】問題為孩子的家人因為什么而爭論，原文為the family asked her to settle an argument they’d been having over exactly what advice she had given，意為親屬們就醫生到底講過什么建議爭論不休，問醫生如何解決。選項B中的instructions與原文的advice同義，選項B正確。
30. A) She encourages them to ask questions when in doubt. A) 她鼓勵他們拿不準時就提問題。
B) She makes them write down all her instructions. B) 她讓他們記下她的醫囑。
C) She has them act out what they are to do at home. C) 她讓他們把將在家里做的事情表演出來。
D) She asks them to repeat what are supposed to do. D) 她讓他們復述要做的事。
【聽音指導】由第一題的選項可很有把握地推測she指代的是Doctor Myer，而與醫生相對的多半為病人。注意關鍵詞ask question，write down，act out和repeat。
【正確項分析】瑪雅醫生如何確定病人完全明白了自己的建議呢?原文為She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do，原文的 tell her與選項D中的關鍵詞repeat一致，選項D為正確答案，
