David Brown and Anne are two patients in the Adult Day Care Program at Mercy Hospitals. David Brown is seventy-two years old. He’s friendly and likes to talk. He lives with his wife in the city. But David is becoming forgetful. His wife says, “He’ll heat up some soup, then forget to turn off the gas.” She is sixty-one and still works. She is worried about leaving her husband alone.

Anne is eighty and lives with her 60-year-old daughter. Her daughter says that she needs a rest. “Mom follows me everywhere. She follows me when I read newspapers. I need a rest and she does, too.”

And so, several times a week, David and Anne’s families take them to the Adult Day Care Center. Many hospitals have this program. Patients come to the Center for a full or half day, from one to five days a week. All the patients live with their families and most are old people.

Mrs. Carol Johnson is the director of the Center. She says, “We are offering both the patients and their families a service of great value. Patients have the chance to get out of their houses. Husbands, wives or grown children can work or have a rest. Most important of all, families are able to stay together.”

【解析】

試題分析:

1.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段第3.4行But David is becoming forgetful. “He’ll heat up some soup, then forget to turn off the gas.”說明C正確。

2.D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第一行Anne is eighty and lives with her 60-year-old daughter. Her daughter says that she needs a rest.說明Anne的女兒已經(jīng)厭倦了已經(jīng)累了,不想在照顧她了。故D正確。

3.A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段Many hospitals have this program.說明這樣的機構(gòu)是由醫(yī)院搞的,故A正確。

4.D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段第一行And so, several times a week, David and Anne’s families take them to the Adult Day Care Center.并沒有說明一個星期六天,故D這樣的說法是不成立的。

5.D 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知ABC都是這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)的優(yōu)勢,但是并沒有說明在這里使用最好的藥物等信息,故D并不是原因。
