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. "
Which is a correct statement about the early American hospice?
选项
A、It was an immediate success as a result of the effort by Dr. Cicely.
B、It was probably not easy to persuade companies to provide financial support.
C、Many people readily accepted the new idea.
D、Local governments forbade what they did.
答案
B
解析
信息推断题。信息定位在文章最后一段。段中“organizers had a difficult job”可知,组织者遇到了一系列的困难。由此可知,选项A中提及的immediate success与文中意义不符。文中提及“they had to teach the public about the idea of hospice”,可知公众对终极关怀的理念是不甚理解的,选项C与此信息不符;由“they had to negotiate with the local government to use public money to carefor the dying”可知,当地政府并不是禁止(forbid)该机构,而是不情愿拨公款支持,选项D亦不正确。文中“they had to get money from companies”可知组织者们不得不费力从企业那里获得钱款,与选项B内容一致,故答案为B。
