The Healing Power of Humor
As a heart doctor, I have to deliver a lot of bad news.Humor is a wonderful tool.Not only can it help lift patients' spirits up, but it actually helps them recover faster.There is tons of scientific evidence that patients who are depressed after heart operations have a higher death rate, and optimistic patients have significantly fewer wound infections.__5__
It relaxes patients.
Medical operations usually make patients feel nervous.Some may sweat, have chest pain and feel unusually strong or irregular heartbeats.__6__ When people use humor, the nervous system just tones down a bit, and that allows the heart to relax.
__7__
People are scared of their bodies.Humor can crack through the ice and take the fear away.For example, I have to tell patients about the risk of cognitive impairment (认知损伤) after operations.They're terrified, fearing the worst.__8__ I tell them in a humorous way that it's usually just like forgetting second grade.People understand what that means, and it doesn't seem quite as frightening.
It eases worries.
After open-heart operation, a patient might say, “Doctor, my chest really hurts.” And I'll smile and say, “Oh, does it feel like someone opened you up, cut the bone and operated in there?” That tells them the pain is normal and they are going to be fine.So they take their minds off their troubles and worry less.
It helps doctors.
__9__ When we give the news, we are supposed to help patients in a human way.A good sense of humor is just like a weapon, and it can beat the difficult situation.As a matter of fact, humor benefits doctors as well.Plus, it is a better way to enjoy life.
A.It calms fear.
B.It reduces risk.
C.So, recovering cognition is important.
D.However, humor can be a healing power.
E.Breaking bad news is never a pleasant task.
F.Others may even feel like they are choking.
G.Humor truly is the best medicine in many ways.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了幽默的治愈力,它能够使病人放松,平息恐惧,减轻忧虑并能帮助医生。
5.选G 上文指出幽默能帮助人们振奋精神,更好地恢复健康,这说明幽默是良药,故G项“从很多方面来说,幽默确实是最好的药物”承接上文,符合语境,同时引起下文。下文“It relaxes patients.”“It eases worries.”“It helps doctors.”具体介绍了幽默在不同方面的好处。
6.选F 上文指出医疗手术会让患者感到紧张,并具体指出了有些人紧张的表现,空处应承接上文,指出其他人紧张的表现。故F项“其他人甚至可能感觉自己窒息”符合语境。“Some”和“Others”相呼应。
7.选A 根据下文“People are scared of their bodies.Humor can crack through the ice and take the fear away.”可知,本段主要介绍幽默可以平息恐惧。故A项“它可以平息恐惧”符合语境,能概括本段内容。
8.选D 上文指出当作者告诉患者手术后认知障碍的风险时,他们很害怕,担心最坏的情况发生。下文指出作者用幽默的方式告诉患者术后认知障碍的风险时,人们就不那么害怕,这说明幽默很有用。故D项“然而,幽默可以成为一种治愈的力量”承上启下,符合语境。
9.选E 根据本段标题“It helps doctors.”可知,幽默可以帮助医生。下文指出当医生公布坏消息时,应该以人性化的方式帮助患者,这是因为公布坏消息是令人不愉快的。故E项“公布坏消息从来都不是一件令人愉快的任务”衔接下文,符合语境。
