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. put on 穿上；戴上 2. look through 浏览 Job description (工作描述) Para 1 dress code (着装要求): ___________________________________ working atmosphere: _________________________ a curly rainbow wig, a red nose and a badge boring and tense 1. put on 穿上，带上 2. look through 浏览 approach vt.靠近 atmosphere n.氛围 While-reading: Careful reading 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.

What is the difference between a normal doctor and a clown doctor? 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.

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. 7. health care facilities 医疗保健机构 8. cheer up 使振奋，使高兴 9. more often than not 通常情况下，常常 10. do magic tricks 变魔术 11. work closely with 与…紧密合作 Job responsibilities (工作职责) Para 4？ workplace objects methods 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. 12. do the trick 起作用；奏效 13. concentrate on 专注于 Job cases (工作案例) para 5 treatment effect a small smile; loud laughter; being so much happier. magic medicine 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”. 14. take off 脱下 Feelings after working (工作感悟) Para 6 · ____________________________________________________ · ____________________________________________________ wear a big smile remember all the fun and laughter of the day While-reading: Read for the job Job Advertisement Employer The Healthy Humour Foundation Job Title Clown Doctor Job description (para 1) dress code: ___________________________________ working atmosphere: _________________________ Job responsibilities (para 4) · visit ____________________________________ on a weekly basis; · entertain young patients who are feeling ____________________________________________; · cheer up patients, their families and _________________________; · sing songs, tell stories and jokes, and do ________; · help make the hospital __________________________. hospitals and other healthcare facilities a curly rainbow wig, a red nose and a badge boredom and tension nervous, pain or bored the hospital staff magic tricks a friendlier place to visit 描述衣着和环境-工作描述 描述状态和故事背景-工作案例 阐述故事背后的原因→推动故事发展求职理由 描述动作 工作职责 描述动作如何具体实施工作方法 阐述心理活动→升华故事内涵 工作感悟 破题 发展 结局 借助因果关系来推动情节 How does the narrative develop?
