The passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For
each of them
there are four choices marked A, B, C, D. You
should decide on the best
choice and
mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
with a single line through
the centre.
The
medical
world
is
gradually
realizing
that
the
quality
of
the
environment
in
hospitals
may play a significant role in the process of
recovery 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
most
talented
artists
have
been
called
in
to
transform
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
significant
collections of contemporary art in
corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These
recent
initiatives
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 his place in
modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by
a
wider audience.
A typical hospital waiting room might
have as many as 500 visitors each week. What
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 corridors and waiting 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 a garden needed half the number of
strong pain killers compared with patients
who had no view at all or only a brick
wall to look at.
21.
According to the passage,
A. to pull down hospital buildings
B. to decorate hospitals
with art collections
C. to
improve the quality of treatment in hospitals
