问题     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 own a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in north - eastern 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 5,000 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 Infirmary 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. Instead of the familiar long, barren corridors and stark 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 on to a 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.
What can we say of Peter Senior?
选项 A、He is a doctor interested in painting.
B、He is an artist who has a large collection of paintings.
C、He is a pioneer in introducing art into hospitals.
D、He is a faithful follower of hospital art.
答案C
解析 Peter Senior不是“对绘画感兴趣的医生”(选项A)，也不能说是“医院艺术的追随者”(选项D)，另外，文章也没有提到“他有大量的绘画作品”(选项B)，只有选项C说的“他是将艺术引进到医院的先驱者”最符合文章大意。因此C是正确答案。
