That is until I put on my curly rainbow wig, big red nose, and add my name badge “Doctor Larry Laugh-Out-Loud”. I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there’s a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs, looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously. Anxious parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children. 1. approach the hospital 接近医院 2. any other doctor 任何一个医生 3. put on 穿上；戴上 4. look through 浏览 f Paragraph 1 What does this clown doctor wear and what is his working environment like? His working environment is ________________ boring and tense. He wears a white coat, a curly rainbow wig, and a big red nose. f 2 In the middle of this particular scene I spot a small girl whose ankle is twice its normal size. I speak with the on-duty nurse, who tells me that Lara’s parents rushed her to the hospital after she fell off her bicycle. Since getting here, Lara has spent her time crying in pain. Although it’s the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it’s my job to make her feel better. 1. twice its normal size 正常大小的两倍 2. on-duty 值班的 3. rushed sb to 急送某人去... 4. fall off 摔下；跌倒 Which patient is in need of the clown doctor’s attention and why? Patient’s name __________ What’s wrong with her? ______________________________________________________________________________ Lara She fell off her bicycle and has spent her time crying in pain. a 3 Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better, which means clown doctors can be helpful. We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”. I chose this career because of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid. Although the doctors and nurses did a great job, hospitals weren’t really designed for children. I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than a little bored! Being a clown doctor means I can help people by entertaining them. 1. produces chemicals 产生化学物 2. more than a little 非常 b 4 Visiting hospitals and other health care facilities, we clown doctors work together with medical professionals. On a typical day, we spend our time cheering up patients, their families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too! We do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories and, of course, telling silly jokes. Some children, though, don’t feel like laughing, especially if they’re in pain. We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient. v 1. facility 设施；场所 2. medical professionals 医务人员 3.

A clown doctor visits hospitals and other health care facilities, working together with medical professionals to cheer up patients, their families and the hospital staff. What are my responsibilities? d 5 And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick. While the doctor concentrates on examining Lara’s ankle, I get her attention by doing a magic trick. Although she is clearly still in some pain, her scared and anxious look has been replaced—first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as I “magically” produce her sock from out of my pocket. Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara’s parents more relaxed. 1. do the trick 起作用；奏效 2. in pain 处于痛苦中 3. from out of my pocket 从口袋中出来 4. in turn 轮流；反过来 e 6 And as for me? Well, when I take off my wig and my red nose, I’m still wearing a big smile, as I remember all the fun and laughter of the day. While there might be more hospital visits ahead for Lara and others, I hope that clown doctors help make it a friendlier place to visit. After all, it really is true that “laughter is the best medicine”. 1. as for 至于... 2. take off 脱下 3. wear a smile 面带微笑 4. after all 毕竟 c Organise information and complete the job advertisement. health care facilities nervous, painful or bored the hospital staff magic tricks a friendlier place to visit What is the difference between clown doctors and medical doctors?
