medical employees. From the viewpoint of the patients, the nursing staff is particularly
important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the
hospital.

dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most
nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.

services on a 24-hour basis and attend to patients" needs. This responsibility continues

duty; others work odd shifts.
A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all
nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under
intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who

Gujarat State, in western India.
The Rotary Club of Navsari operates an eye hospital and 9 area eye centers in and
around Navsari, whose services are for the poorest people. The group opened the hospital,
the Rotary Eye Institute of Navsari, in 1970. Institute officials say India has only about
one ophthalmologist for every 120,000 people. The Institute, however, has ten such
specially trained eye doctors. It has restored or improved the eyesight of thousands of
patients. Many people far from the city. Teams from it travel as far as 150 kilometers to
see patients. People go to their nearest camp, for conditions including glaucoma (青光眼),
night blindness and other problems. Some people are found to have cataracts, abnormal
growths on the eye that can lead to loss of eyesight. India has about 13 million people
with the condition. Cataract patients get free operations to correct the problem.
Rotary groups also operate eye banks. Doctors at these centers replace damaged eyes
with the healthy eyes of donors who have just died. One such center is the Rotary Rajan
Eye Bank. It operates in cooperation with the Rajan Eye Care Hospital in Chennai. The Eye
Bank opened in 1996. Hundreds of patients have received new corneas from donors since
then. The cornea is the clear front part of the eye that transmits light. 2 million people
in India are blind because of problems of the cornea. The Rotary Rajan Eye Bank holds
continuing eye donation campaigns. It urges people to leave the gift of sight to others
when they die.

to improve physical fitness. Walking also gives many of the same benefits as other kinds
of exercise.
Regular, brisk walks help a person"s body work better. Walking builds a stronger heart
and healthier lungs. The heart pumps blood through the body. It gets more rest between
beats. Walking also seems to help protect the heart from heart diseases. The lungs work
better because they take in and use oxygen more effectively. Walking can help , too. A
quick fifteen-minute walk buns as many calories as jogging the same distance in half the
time. Walking causes very few injuries. So there is also a lower "dropout" rate among
walkers than among runners. People are more likely to continue a walking program. This
gives a better chance for success.
Walking offers some mental benefits, too. It seems to make people feel better. Many
walkers say they sleep better at night when they take regular walks. Others say they have
a better attitude about life.
Walking offers many of the same physical and mental benefits as other forms of
exercise, but walking offers some special advantages, too.
★Almost everyone can walk. There are no special lessons of coaching. To become a
serious walker, a person only needs to walk faster, farther and more often.
★People can walk almost anywhere. There are no special playing fields or courts for
walking. Sidewalks, streets, parks, fields and malls are excellent places for walking.
★People can walk almost anytime. A person doesn"t need a team or a partner for
walking. There is no "season" for walking. Most walkers walk in all kinds of weather.
★Walking doesn"t cost anything. There are no special fees for walking. Good walking
shoes and comfortable clothes are only equipment that a walker needs.
Walking offers a form of exercise within the reach of nearly everyone. With a little
time and effort, people can rediscover a valuable form of exercise and improve their
fitness.

| An allergy (过敏反应) is a strong reaction to a substance. Many things can cause allergies. The most common cause is pollen (花粉), which is usually produced by trees in the spring, grasses in the summer and weeds in the fall, as part of their reproductive process. Other causes include organisms, chemicals, plants and dead skin particles (微粒) from dogs and cats can also cause allergic reactions. So can insect stings and some food. The most common kind of allergic reactions is itchy (痒的), watery eyes and a blocked or watery nose. Allergies can also cause red, itchy skin. Some reactions can be life- threatening, for example, when breathing passages become blocked. It is not always easy to avoid allergies. Drugs may offer an effective treatment. Another treatment used in some cases is called immunotherapy (免疫疗法). A patient is injected with small amounts of the allergy-causing substance. The idea is that larger and larger amounts are given over time until the patient develops a resistance in his body. In the United States, experts estimate that up to 8% of young children have food allergies. Every year these allergies cause about 30,000 cases with severe reactions that require immediate treatment. It can result in breathing trouble and in some cases death. It is said that about 100 to 200 people will die. It says most of the reactions are caused by peanuts and tree nuts like walnuts. People can also be allergic to medicines. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says about 10% of bad reactions to commonly used medicines are allergic. In other words, a person"s immune system overreacts and produces an allergic reaction. The most common reactions include skin rashes (皮疹), itching, breathing problems and swelling in areas such as the face. |

| Living in a green area can make you live longer, according to research published today. The research also shows that the difference in life expectancy (预期寿命) between rich and poor becomes smaller among those who live in an environment with parks and trees. Richard Mitchell, from Glasgow University, and his colleagues, found that the gap between the number of deaths of people on high incomes and the number of deaths of those on low incomes in green areas was half that compared with figures relating to built-up areas. Green spaces, classified by the researchers as "open, undeveloped land with natural vegetation", encouraged people to walk and be more active. Exercise in these settings could have greater benefits than exercise elsewhere, the researchers said. The benefits potentially go beyond exercise. Studies have shown that being around green spaces can reduce blood pressure and stress levels, and possibly help patients recover faster. A number of researchers have looked at the effects of greenery on our well-being. But few studies had looked at whether living in green areas reduced health inequalities, the Glasgow team said. Using information from a land-use database of 2001, the researchers divided the pre-retirement population of England into four groups according to income level, and five groups according to access to green space. They then looked at death rate for 2001～2005. They found that the inequality in death rate from all causes relating to lack of money was less in those populations in the greenest areas compared with the figures for people living in more built-up places. They found an even stronger relationship when it came to deaths from certain diseases such as heart conditions and stroke (中风). There was no difference, however, in deaths from lung cancer. The researchers said that changing the physical environment was an easier way to fight against poor health than using media campaigns or giving out information on health. "The result of the study is clear: Environments that promote good health might be very important in the fight to reduce health inequalities." |

| [ ] |
| A. They offered a scientific definition of "green spaces". B. They encouraged people to exercise in green areas. C. They studied the effects of greenery on people"s health. D. They focused on the influence of greenery on health inequalities. |
| 3. What advice would the researchers probably give according to the last paragraph? |
| [ ] |
| A. More health information should be given to the public. B. People should take more exercise every day. C. More trees and grass should be planted in cities. D. People should help to fight against health problems. |
| 4. What is the main idea of the passage? |
| [ ] |
| A. People should live in green areas. B. Green spaces promote good health. C. Income influences health less than environment. D. Exercise in green areas benefits people a lot. |
