1、 2022年职称英语卫生类教材新增部分内容(5)I had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital for about a year. You get used to families thinking that1 a “coma“ patient is moving their hand or doing something that they were asked to do. “Following commands“ is what” we call it. Often it”s “wishful thinking“ on
2、the Families” part.2 Nurses can easily become callous to it.On this particular night during visiting hours, my patient”s wife came in. I had taken care of him for several nights. I was very familiar with his care and what he was able to do. Actually, he didn”t do anything. He barely moved at all, ev

4、ther patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, “Donna, he”s moving his hand!“I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination, and that he had not actually done it on purpose. 3 He had been there about a month at the time and had never m
5、ade any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened and she said, “I asked him to squeeze my hand and he did !“This led me to another train of questioning. “But, did he let go4 when you asked him to?“ She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked.I went into the room with her, not re
6、ally believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify her than to make her think I didn”t believe her or that she was somehow mistaken.She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did. I said, “Well, ask him to let go.“ He continued
7、 to squeeze for a moment, so that when he finally did let go, I really still didn”t believe that he had done it on purpose. So, I said, “Ask him to hold up one finger.“ He did as asked.Well, hmm, this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him, his face still somewhat swollen and his eyes sti
8、ll closed. “Stick out5 your tongue!“ I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone “wake up.“词汇：Coma n昏迷 pacify V安抚Callous adj. 麻木不仁的 swollen adj.肿胀的Suctioning n抽吸解释：1You get used to families thinking that：病人家属会觉得，对此你会习以为常的。2Often its “wishful thinking”
9、on the families part ：通常这只不过是病人家属的愿望思维。3on purpose：有意地41et out：松手5stick out：伸出 练习：1. The first paragraph indicates that more often than not a coma patient_.A is found to be following commands.B is thought to be following commands.C is used to following commands.D is callous to nurses” commands.2. Wh
10、at was the condition of the patient before that particular night?A He talked only with his wife.B He barely moved at all.C He moved only when hurt.D He was too lazy to do anything at all.3. How did the author feel upon first hearing what the excited wife said?A She was amused.B She was doubtful.C Sh
11、e was scared.D She was shocked.4. What did the patient do on that particular night?A He squeezed and let go his wife”s hand.B He held up one of his fingers.C He stuck out his tongue.D All of the above.5. The author “almost fell on the floor“ because _.A she could hardly believe her eyes.B she had been working too hard.C she had been deceived.D she had been tripped.答案与题解：1B从短文的第一段可以得知，昏迷病人的家属时常以为病人能动了，但大多数状况下，这只是他们的愿望思维，病人并没有真正有意识地在动。2B短文的其次段明确交代，病人在此前的日子里根本上处于一动不动状态。3B短文的第三段的头一句话说明，开头根本上不信任病人家属所说的话。4D头三项在短文的最终两段都被提到，因此答案只能选D。5A从上下文不难看出，之所以差点摔倒是由于她简直难以信任自己的眼睛，之前她还从未见过昏迷病人醒过来。
