Josh lay strapped to the wheeled stretcher as the hospital orderly pushed him down the corridor toward Operating Room B. Though groggy from sedation, he was sufficiently alert to know what was happening. "Strange," he chuckled to himself, "I've been looking forward to this for two years, but now ..."
Upon entering the room, he gazed about and saw the green - tiled walls, the huge nonshadow light in the center of the ceiling above the specially designed operating table. He also noticed the monitor which, after the transducers had been attached to him, would provide a constant indication of his temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. Here and there he saw weird - looking machines equipped with tubes and bags and dials and other odd - shaped paraphernalia. Beside the operating table stood three surgeons, two nurses, and an anesthetist, all in white and wearing caps and masks, all ready and waiting.
While being wheeled toward the table, Josh turned his head from side to side and finally spotted what he was looking for: the glass cabinet in which hung a black oceanaut's suit.

讀書時期用pocket pc 看書持資源發現了好讀,然後好讀一直陪伴我至大學畢業然後踏足社會。雖然工作事忙,但是上好讀網閒逛看黃河散文已成一種習慣,直至發現好讀不再更新,繼而停站,再從別的論壇得悉網主離世一事,心有點哀傷,後悔未曾跟他言謝在學習期間他的網站是我的精神食糧。見到好讀重啟,有心人延續好讀網站的營運和更新,很是感激,對周先生的貢獻亦致萬分感謝!
