    The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to get better.

    As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country's best artists have been called in to 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 very valuable collections of present art in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

    These recent movements first started by 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 his place in modem society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

    A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art ! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out - patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain' s first hospital artist, Senior 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 passages and 4vaiting rooms-the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, 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 onto garden needed half the number of strong painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

 36. Some best artists of Britain have been called in to

    A. set up new hospital         B. help the hospitals collect paintings

    C. bring art into hospitals      D. help patients recover from serious illness.

 37. Peter Senior is

    A. the best artist in Britain

    B. a pioneer in introducing art into hospital

    C. the teacher of the six young art school graduates

   D. a painter who paints for hospitals only

38. After the improvement of the hospital environment,

    A. patients no longer take drugs to kill their pains'    '

    B. patients don't have to stay long in hospital

    C. patients need fewer pain killers when they suffer from an illness

D. patients feel happy in hospital

John Andrews had to wear glasses ever since he was a small boy, so, shortly before the time when he was to leave school, his parents suggested that he might train to he an optician, so that he could help other people with their eyes.

 "While you are saying this, you should watch the customer's face carefully, and if he or she does not seem frightened by this price, you should add. That' s the price of the frame. The lenses cost 54 more."

Waterland, California, USA June 26, 2001--two cars dropped from sight, falling into the bottom of a 40-foot deep sinkhole which appeared suddenly. At a town 12 miles  from  Waterland, two bedrooms of one house dropped into a hole 60 feet across and 35 feet deep, part

of the next house hung dangerously over the hole.

    Sinkholes have been happening ~without warning in this part for years. So far there is no way to predict when or where one will appear.  But when one does, others usually follow in the same area, usually along a straight line.

   The worse sinkhole in recent years appeared in 1996. It was 70 feet across and 150 feet deep. It destroyed one house, damaged several others and broke the walls of a city block. One hole, 15 feet deep, opened up this year in the middle of a highway 19 seconds after a car had been driven by. Others in the same area took place at night damaging houses, swallowing up trees and parts of streets and making 23 frightened persons run away from their homes in night clothes.

    Sinkholes happen when the weather is dry. The earth at the surface begins to drop into empty space under the ground, like sand falling in huge hourglass. This is how a sinkhole is formed.

 A HOLIDAY jet pilot said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking. He warned Maureen Harkavy,  "Put that cigarette out, or I'll land the plane and have you arrested."

   Maureen, was so shocked that she wrote to the airline's chairman. But his reply was even ruder. "You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbors' atmosphere," wrote John Fen'iday of Paramount Airways.

   (a)Maureen said, "I only found out about it when I was checking in.  I'm a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight. A stewardess asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking. Then the pilot arrived."

   (b)"I've never seen such an unpleasant letter," she said , "I don't think I'll ever fly again."

   But there was a funny side. Mattreen explained, “we were offered duty-free cigarettes from the stewardess on the plane!"

   (c)Mr Ferriday went on, "Believe me, you haven't. Especially when you travel on my planes."

   Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount Flight just before they left Portugal,  but they were not told of the company's no smoking policy.

   (d)"He was loud and rude,"  said Maureen.  "He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police."

   Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Manreen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.

Most scientific progress is the result of careful consideration of work that has already been done. The wonderful world which lies before us today has been built up by hard-working men with clear heads and inventive mind; and those who follow them along life's road will improve on their efforts. It is sometimes necessary to question, and even to disbelieve some of the statements made by experts. Action or experiment can often end an argument or achieve a breakthrough.

When men were wondering whether it was possible to reach India by sailing westwards from Europe. And whether there was any land on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Christopher Columbus decided to act. He gathered some men together, invited them to go on board his three ships, and Set out across the dangerous waters of the Atlantic Ocean. He was successful in finding land, but it was not India. The result of his action was that the arguments

came to end.      

Any young men who wish to do research must be courageous enough to question old beliefs and do some original thinking about them. Although we, seem to. know so much, there are many things we don' t know. Even when we pull an atom to pieces and study its pieces, we do not really know what the pieces are. We often do not reach the reality behind what we discover; and the more we learn, the better we realize our ignorance.

52.Christopher Columbus decided to set out his trip because he wanted to  ___________.                      

A. travel round the world                      B. bring words into action

C. discover the truth with action           D. bring the argument-to an end

53. According to the passage, the more we learn________.

A. the more ignorant we will become         B. the more brilliant we are

C. the more confident we are of ourselves     D. the more we know our ignorance

54. Our present wonderful world has been built up by __________.

A. men who do not believe in other but themselves

B. those who work hard and dare to break away from old ideas

C. those who can make improvements on other people’s work

D. men who work extremely hard in following their teachers

55. Columbus succeeded in finking out that _________.

A. the Atlantic was dangerous to get across.

B. India was to the west of the Atlantic

C. There was land on the other side of the Atlantic

D. It was possible to sail to India by crossing the Atlantic
