A
An unconventional new initiative(首创)in Canada will soon allow doctors to prescribe art to their patients—by giving them free access to a local museum.Wandering through the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA),these patients and their loved ones will be able to feast their eyes on the peaceful collections of art.
The initiative is the first of its kind in the world.And while you certainly can’t replace a conventional treatment with a couple of paintings,the idea is for such“prescriptions”to assist a person’s current treatment plan.Under the new program,members of the Francophone Association of Doctors in Canada(MFDC)will be able to hand out up to 50 prescriptions for their patients.
These prescriptions will be available for those with a wide range of mental and physical illnesses,and each of them will allow two adults and two children to visit the museum for free.
“By offering free admission to a safe,welcoming place,a relaxing experience,a moment of relief,and an opportunity to strengthen ties with loved ones,MMFA—MFDC Museum Prescriptions contribute to the patient’s well-being and recovery,”explains a news conference from the MMFA.
It may look a lot like a marketing effort for the museum but there’s also increasing evidence that the display of visual art,especially if it’s showing nature,can have positive effects on health outcomes.
In some ways,the benefits of looking at art appear a little similar to physical activity.A systematic review of clinical art therapy(疗法) found that visual art has significant and positive effects on depression,anxiety,mood,and self-esteem.Findings like these are slowly gaining attraction in the medical community,making artwork a higher priority(优先)in hospitals around the world.
In the US,nearly half of all health care institutions have reported including art in health care programming,such as art therapy and the placement of visual art in hospitals.With spaces dedicated(专用的)to art therapy and also a medical consultation room,the MMFA already provides services for people with mental health issues,eating disorders,and Alzheimer’s disease,just to name a few.
1、How will some Canadian doctors treat their patients?
A.Introducing fine arts to their patients.
B.Feasting them in a peaceful and welcoming place.
C.Keeping them company through the Montreal Museum.
D.Giving them a prescription to access a local museum for free.
2、MMFA thinks the new initiative in Canada can be_______.
A.a help with patients’recovery B.a chance to make friends
C.the best option for the treatment plan D.a substitute for conventional treatment
3、Why does the museum join in the program?
A.To make visual art known to the public. B.To promote the museum into market.
C.To strengthen ties with doctors. D.To advance the science of medicine.
4、What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Fine arts will take the place of medicine.
B.Artists rarely suffer from some mental diseases.
C.More than 50 prescriptions are available for patients.
D.Art will be included in Canadian doctors’prescriptions.

Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.
“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message — “K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few words here. You’re not that busy.”
There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.
“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.
But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.
“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediately fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.
“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”
1、What can you infer about Mark from Paragraph 2?
A.He is a businessman with a bad temper.
B.He complains about social manners.
C.He can’t bear one- word messages.
D.He dislike a busy business life.
2、According to the text, which of the following breaks the rules for communicating?
A.John says “I got it.” to his boss face to face.
B.Jim calls Bill without confirming in advance.
C.Mary texts Lily to make sure if she can call her.
D.Jack sends “Thanks a lot” to his business friends.
3、Why may people misunderstand each other during digital communication?
A.Emoji cannot sum up feelings.
B.People use their own slang and customs.
C.There are large quantities of written rules.
D.People gets wrong messages without clear clues.
4、What are people expected to do after reading tie passage?
A.To obey their own digital communication rules.
B.To be aware of rules during digital communication.
C.To use advancing technology even with disadvantages.
D.To keep pace with digital communication development.
