When we set up our bibliotherapy service through The School of Life in 2008, our 43 was obvious: to show people that books, and 44 novels, not only have the 45 to lift spirits, but to 46 fundamental psychological shifts, healing and enriching the heart, the intellect and the soul in extraordinary ways. But you could 47 that someone with depression would 48 to make their way to the library, 49 put a spring in their stride, simply by the offer of some mood enhancing reads. One of the things we have found as bibliotherapists is that clients with depression 50 a therapeutic book require a very 51 prescription. Some may want a book that offers some escape— 52 case the odd English humour of Dodie Smith"s I Capture the Castle may 53 the trick.

The majority of our clients do not come to us for medical reasons; most come 56 they love reading, and in this day of publishing overload they want to be sure they use their reading time well. There are few greater pleasures in life than discovering a novel that 57 back a world you recognise—and yet takes you into a deeper experience of that world. And research has shown that reading can be highly effective in 58 stress. We find Henry James a 59 way to order your mind when everything becomes too much—the literary 60 of Beethoven or Bach.

单选题A study has been conducted on public opinion on the use of animals in research. Most—7 in 10—Swedes indicate that the use of animals in research is acceptable for medical research aimed at finding cures for diseases. Young people are most negative. The findings indicate that although most people spontaneously think of medical research when they hear the term "animal experiments", many respondents also associate it with makeup and hygiene products. 3 in 10 respondents believe that cosmetics are tested on animals in Sweden, even though this has been banned since 2004. Among the 30% of respondents who find animal experiments to be unacceptable in medical research aimed at finding cures for disease, nearly one third respond that some animal experiments could, nevertheless, be acceptable in certain situations. The survey shows that 7 in 10 Swedes can accept the use of animals in medical research if its aim is to acquire more knowledge about diseases and how they can be prevented and cured. This ratio is the same as that reported in a 1992 study, when attitudes of Swedes towards laboratory animals were last measured. Vetenskap & Allm ? nhet (Public and Science) has conducted the study on behalf of the Swedish Research Council. The opinion survey describes how the public views the use of laboratory animals, both in general and in relation to medical objectives. A sample including just over 1000 individuals representing the national Swedish population aged 16 years and older was surveyed in January 2008. Some of the questions were given only to part of the group.

单选题Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital. Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter has only a part-time teacher. The special children"s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do maths or number work; without a teacher they would only play games. Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as "the library lady" or just "the helper". Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can. Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.
