The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in the process of recovery（康復）from illness.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's best-known artists have been called into change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2 500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have valuable collections of contemporary（現代的）art in corridors（走廊）, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent movements owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost their places in modern society and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Serfior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view or fresh colours, playful images and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view of a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers（止痛藥）compared with patients who had no view at all or only brick wall to look at.
(1)According to the passage, we can learn that Peter Senior is ________.
[ ]
A．a doctor interested in art
B．an artist who refuses to hold art exhibitions in hospitals
C．an artist in introducing art into hospitals
D．an artist who is very rich
(2)According to Peter Senior, we can infer that ________.
[ ]
A．modern hospitals have lost a lot of patients
B．art is not enjoyed by a large number of people in modern society
C．patients should be encouraged to learn painting
D．artists can not find their positions in modern society
(3)Six young art school graduates joined Peter Senior because ________.
[ ]
A．they thought Peter Senior's idea was very exciting
B．Peter Senior needed artists more intelligent than him
C．they wanted to enjoy Peter Senior's popularity
D．more and more hospitals need artists to improve their environment
(4)The underlined word “striking”pro-bably means“________”.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each agc gives him without wasting any time in uselcss regrets.
Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do as he wishes. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.
When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept duties. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the law of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, lf, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady pro-gress in his job and of building up his own position in society.
Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and tile ability to help others with advice wisely given. They can have the joy of seeing their Children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and, perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.
【小題1】The main reason children wish they were grown up, and the old wish they were young again is that ______.
| A．both aren’t satisfied with the weak points at their ages |
| B．both enjoy the strong points at the other age by looking back or looking forward |
| C．the human beings should be like this |
| D．they don’t think both ages are acceptable |
each age gives him without wasting time in useless regrets” means ______. | A．Enjoy what is given to him by people at his age, feeling regrets |
| B．Enjoy himself at his own age, feeling regrets for a waste of time |
| C．Make full use of the time he is given at his age instead of regretting having no achievements |
| D．Enjoy his own age and took down on the people at other ages |
| A．Children shouldn’t be made to live a hard life |
| B．All the children won’t have to work for their own living |
| C．Children shouldn’t answer for the hard life they are leading |

Why are medical dramas so popular?
Why are we so fascinated by medical dramas? From the high drama of Casualty and ER to the squeamish reality of Embarrassing Bodies and One Born Every Minute, it is hard to look away. Books with a medical or health theme are equally popular on best-selling lists.
When it comes to how our bodies function and malfunction, we are hooked. Without doubt, medical science is a rich source of stories. The popularity of all forms of medical-based drama suggests that we love to watch and read about people dealing with pain and discomfort, facing problems we fear we might face too at some point in our lives. Prof George Ikkos, president of the Royal Society of Medicine’s psychiatry section, says it is more to do with learning about ourselves from other people. The integrity of our body is extremely important. We should be concerned about our own body and that lies at the heart of it. Programmes like Casualty are dramatic and exciting—they involve a lot of ordinary people we can relate to directly. "It’s not like watching something about nuclear physics or stamp collecting."
Prof Ikkos says: "Well-informed programmes can be helpful but people engage at different levels, from the highbrow to the lowbrow, depending on how people relate to what they are watching." There is, of course, no research to confirm whether these dramas improve our understanding of medical matters or change our knowledge of health issues. Some fly-on-the-wall medical shows may simply be a popular form of voyeurism(窺探者). "But they do give information that is helpful. I would not want to discourage them," Prof Ikkos adds.
The themes of health, medicine and science are also at the heart of many works of popular fiction and non-fiction. Best-selling novels such as Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes tackle the subjects of long-term memory loss and life as a paraplegic(高位截癱的人). Thomas Wright, whose new book Circulation—a biography of the 17th Century physician William Harvey—won the Wellcome Trust Book Prize this week, does not need to be convinced about the power of medical history. He was attracted to the story behind Harvey’s discovery that the heart was the principal organ of the body, pumping blood through veins and arteries with an incredible force. During an experiment, Wright says, Harvey cut the aorta(主動脈) of an animal and the blood dashed out with such force and quantity that it splattered the room. "It was so shocking to people who thought blood flowed slowly around the body. It’s an image that stayed in my mind."That dramatic scene opens Wright’s book and he returns to it at the end too. Back then, people did not have much faith in physicians and many did not believe that medicine would be able to help or cure them, if they could afford to go to them in the first place. As a result, Harvey had a tough time convincing people of his theories.
Wright says how we view doctors and their methods has changed greatly since then and that could explain the popularity of medical dramas."Now we look to doctors and scientists for answers—we hope that they can overcome illness and death. We put them on a pedestal. Just the act of going to a doctor makes me feel better, but that builds expectations and pressure too."Wright hopes his book will appeal to the same audience who watch the blood-stained medical dramas on TV.
63. People like to watch and read medical drama because________.
A. they want to form of medical-based drama
B. they want to read a rich source of stories.
C. they want to deal with pain and discomfort
D. they might face the similar situation in their life
64. According to prof Ikkos, which statement is right?
A. We can cure ourselves from dramas.
B. Pro Ikkos will improve medical drama show.
C. Different people can learn from the medical dramas.
D. There is no specific research to confirm medical matters.
65. Harvey’s experiment of cutting the aorta tells us_________.
A. the heart was the principal organ of the body
B. the heart in the animal can press the blood dash
C. in the 17th century, medical knowledge was convinced
D. in the 17th century, animal was used in medical operation
