The word hospice is hundreds of years old. It comes to us from the time called the Middle Ages in Europe. Religious groups then provided hospice as a place where traveler could stay. Sometimes the groups also offered a place for the sick and the dying. Today the word hospice means more than a place. It means a way of caring for the dying. In the modern sense of the word, it means that, if possible, dying people can receive care at home during their last days; and the health-care workers do not try to lengthen the lives of the dying with modern medical equipment. Instead, care-givers make every effort to control or stop the patient’s pain. It also means that patients get help for their emotional needs in addition to their physical needs.
A British woman Cicely Saunders was the first major activist for hospice care in modern times. Cicely Saunders worked as a nurse in a hospital right after World War II , where she met a man who was dying of cancer. Together they found ideas about the best possible treatment for people who would never get well again. They talked about treatments that would permit patients to discuss their feelings and to take part in activities meaningful to them. They planned a system that would allow dying people to be surrounded by the people and things they loved most. The dying man gave Cicely Saunders enough money to study to become a doctor. By 1967 Dr. Saunders had organized and opened St. Christopher’s Hospice in London.
In 1974, after the America’s first hospice started in New Haven, others followed suit in cities throughout the country. Organizers had a difficult job. They had to teach the public about the idea of hospice. They had to get money from companies, religious groups and citizens. And they had to negotiate with local govermments to use public money to care for the dying. Thanks to their unyielding determination and painstaking efforts, hospice has grown in America. Dr. Jo Magno, the President of the National Hospice Organization, said that working with the dying occasionally made her sad. Yet she remembers the words of Dr. Cicely Saunders— "We can not add days to life, but we can add life to days. "
What did Cicely and the man talk about?
选项
A、How to advise the hospital to treat the dying patients.
B、How to make arrangement for the patients who had no hope of recovery.
C、The meaningful activities for all patients to take part in.
D、The kind of people that are allowed to visit the patients.
答案
B
解析
信息推断题。文中第三段提及Cicely与一位将死的癌症病人讨论对于那些无法治愈的病人们的最好的治疗方法。同时,他们计划一项能够让那些将死之人所最热爱的人和物陪伴在他们身边的医疗体系。由此可知,Cicely和癌症病人讨论的是如何安排那些无法治愈的病人的治疗,故答案为B。
