or more. The United States is doubling its
population about every eighty-seven years, with a rate of
0.8 percent per year.

　　Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs
twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools,
resources, food and medicine to care for its people. It is
easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the
more rapidly growing countries. (300 words)

　　Questions 17—20 are based on a professor’s lecture on the

　　W: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

hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant
collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas
and treatment rooms.

artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester
hospital in northeastern 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? Peter Senior held the first exhibition
of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of
the Manchester Royal Hospital 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. Now in the corridors and waiting
rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours,
playful images and restful courtyards.

　　The quality of the environment may reduce the need for
expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an

onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers
compared with patient
