21、A hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub (妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go ‘gym’ —— where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.

The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo—— which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS——to have it removed from the premises(道馆).

Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said, “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. I’m also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.”

“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she said.

There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the game. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”

There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”

【1】It seems that Pokemon Go is a game______.

A．encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoors

B．helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart disease

C．designed to help patients in hospital recover sooner

D．warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked

【2】The A&E department is incredibly busy because________.

A．more patients’ arrival increases the workload of the A&E department

B．doctors’ playing the game makes the A&E department less efficient

C．players’ injury increases the workload of the A&E department

D．players’ arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department

【3】The passage is mainly about________.

A．the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK release

B．the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK release

C．the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK release

D．the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK release

22、John Banville has received three major literary prizes. In 2005 he won the Man Booker Prize for his novel The Sea (his 14th book). He has been proposed repeatedly as a candidate (候选人) for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The writer had been resting on his couch when he received a call from a man half an hour before the true winners would be revealed at an awarding ceremony on Thursday. The man on the phone claimed to be Mats Malm, the secretary of the Nobel Prize Committee and he told Banville he would be awarded the prize of this year. And then he also read Banville a formal statement of the achievements he would print about the writer’s work.

“He was so convincing that I rang everybody I could think of to tell them about this good news.” Banville recalled. But 40 minutes later Banville received a phone call from his daughter who had seen the live announcement. She told her father, “It’s not you!”

“I realized then that it must have been a hoax. I rang everybody again and said, ‘Don’t buy the champagne and stop throwing your hats in the air!’” said Banville. A voicemail left on Banville’s phone shortly after the announcement explained that there had been a last-minute disagreement among decision-makers. But, after a close listen to the message, Banville noticed that voice was “deeper” than that of the real Mats Malm and lacked the same “smooth” grasp of English. He has since shared the message with the Swedish Academy to investigate the incident.

23、   Friday would be Samia and Salem’s wedding day! Everyone in the village was excited and was busy preparing for the happy event. The villagers were very proud of Salem as he worked long hours and cared about the people in his village. While others were enjoying the prewedding celebrations, together with the nurses, the groom was busy delivering a baby in his clinic.

The bride was in her room happily arranging her hair and make-up, getting ready for the arrival of her guests. Her family and friends had excitedly prepared the henna (涂指甲花) party. Grandma and Mum were busy in the kitchen with the food they had made for the henna feast for the day before Friday. Samia’s friend Mariam was making the wedding cake. Her friend Shaikha was collecting the bride’s dress from the tailor. At 12 noon the henna maker arrived. Following the tradition, she started decorating the bride’s hands. There was an air of excitement in the room. Grandma started singing a traditional folk song.

Suddenly, the bride felt a strange tingling (麻刺感) in her hand. It grew worse and worse. Her hand became red and swollen soon. Grandma said, “Oh dear, I think it best that you wash your hands immediately.” As an emergency first aider, Mariam suggested applying some cold cream on Samia’s hand and ran off and returned with some in her hand. Neither of these worked. Mum took control and phoned Salem but in vain. Without hesitation, she took Samia to the hospital urgently with Dad and other friends. Dr Ahmed looked at her hand and said, “ You’ve had an allergic reaction to the henna. Tomorrow is your wedding. What about drawing the henna using body colors?” Everyone smiled.

24、An Arkansas doctor, T. Atiq helped his former patients face the New Year with less debt, voiding (使无效) more than $650,000 of unpaid medical bills for those once under his care. Each patient received a card with a personal greeting from their doctor. The note thanked each patient for trusting Dr. Atiq with their care followed by the generous surprise. “If this gave them a little bit of assistance then I am grateful to have had the opportunity to do so,” the physician said.

Nearly 30 years ago, Dr. Atiq founded the Arkansas Cancer Clinic in the community of Pine Bluffto make cancer care available for the economically disadvantaged. Before its opening, Pine Bluff cancer patients traveled at least 50 miles for treatment. Dr. Atiq was clear that his patients’ needs were always his top concern—not their ability to pay.

Dr. Atiq knew all too well the huge financial pressure often faced by patients. Although he wished all of his patients could simply focus on recovery from disease, many were simply not in a position to—even if they had insurance. And, most of his patients had to work while receiving treatment. Some of his patients, including elderly grandmothers, were already working two jobs before getting sick.

In the same spirit of generosity that Dr. Atiq opened his clinic, he is now closing its doors to begin a new chapter. Dr. Atiq is a full-time professor of Head and Neck Surgery at the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, part of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His patients safely transitioned to a hospital to continue their cancer care.

Dr. Atiq feels his act of kindness was a small gesture in comparison to what his patients have given to him over the years. “The courage and resilience (适应力) that I have learned from my patients are invaluable,” he says. “The issue is their health. I am hoping that they can be cured of cancer. Or, it is controlled well to where they are living productive, happy lives with their families, their friends, and their loved ones.”

【1】What did Dr. Atiq do for his former patients?

A．He paid off all their debts.

B．He forgave them their debts.

C．He made invitation cards for them.

D．He gave a New Year dinner for them.

【2】What is special about the Arkansas Cancer Clinic?

A．It treated poor people free of charge.

B．It had a long history of about 50 years.

C．It was the first clinic of its kind in Pine Bluff.

D．It attracted cancer patients across the country.

【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?

A．Reasons why Dr. Atiq closed his clinic.

B．Problems that Dr. Atiq's former patients faced.

C．Suggestions that Dr. Atiq gave to elderly patients.

D．Challenges that Dr. Atiq met in the course of work.

【4】What can we learn about Dr. Atiq?

A．He is pursuing a new career.

B．He has retired from his post.

C．He hopes to stay healthy to treat more patients.
