单选题Surprised by a Miracle I had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital for about a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma" patient is moving their hand or doing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it. Often it's "wishful thinking" on the Families' part. Nurses can easily become callous to it. On this particular night during visiting hours, my patient's wife came in. I had taken care of him for several nights. I was very familiar with his care and what he was able to do. Actually, he didn't do anything. He barely moved at all, even when something would obviously hurt him, such as suctioning. His wife was very short, about 5 feet tall. She had to stand on a stool to lean over him, so that she could see his face and talk to him. She climbed up on the stool. I spoke to her for a few minutes, and then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later, she came running out of the room. In an excited voice, she said, "Donna, he's moving his hand!" I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination, and that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time and had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened and she said, "I asked him to squeeze my hand and he did !" This led me to another train of questioning. "But, did he let go when you asked him to?" She said yes, that he had done exactly what she asked. I went into the room with her, not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify her than to make her think I didn't believe her or that she was somehow mistaken. She asked him to squeeze her hand, which he did. I said, "Well, ask him to let go." He continued to squeeze for a moment, so that when he finally did let go, I really still didn't believe that he had done it on purpose. So, I said, "Ask him to hold up one finger." He did as asked. Well, hmm, this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him, his face still somewhat swollen and his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor. It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up./

Hypertension is the medical term for
persistent and sustained high blood pressure. It is one of the most
{{U}}(51) {{/U}} forms of heart disease. An understanding of blood
pressure in {{U}}(52) {{/U}}, healthy individuals is necessary in order
to understand hypertension. Blood pressure is simply the
force {{U}}(53) {{/U}} against the walls of the body's arteries (血管) as
blood flows through. The force, produced primarily by the pumping {{U}}(54)
{{/U}} of the heart, is essential for the {{U}}(55) {{/U}} of the
blood and its life-supporting nutrients(营养) to all parts of the body. Every time
the heart {{U}}(56) {{/U}}, called a systole, blood pressure increases.
When the heart relaxes {{U}}(57) {{/U}} beats(diastole), the pressure
decreases. The normal systolic pressure of a person at vest is between 100 to
140, and the normal diastole is 60 to 90. Blood-pressure readings are expressed
by both {{U}}(58) {{/U}}, with the systolic over the diastolic: for
example, 140/90. As these ranges suggest, there is a wide
{{U}}(59) {{/U}} of blood pressure for healthy people. Also, blood
pressure {{U}}(60) {{/U}} for healthy people during different times of
the day and under different. {{U}}(61) {{/U}}. It is lower when an
individual is asleep than when he is excited or exerting himself physically.
Therefore, a single blood-pressure reading above 140/90 does not {{U}}(62)
{{/U}} abnormality. When the pressure is continuously {{U}}(63)
{{/U}}, a person is considered to be suffering from hypertension.
Hypertension is a stealthy(隐秘的) problem: a physician can discover it
easily enough, but not a patient. {{U}}(64) {{/U}} elevations, for
example, may produce headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and weakness. But the
patient is not likely to {{U}}(65) {{/U}}these symptoms as having any
other source than the increased elevation.

Acceptance of Chronic Illness
For chronically i11 patients, giving up the hope that they will get
better may actually lead to more happiness, U.S. researchers suggest.
"Hope is an important part of happiness, but there's a dark side of hope.
Sometimes, if hope makes people put off getting on with their life, it can get
in the way of happiness," Dr. Peter A. Ubel from the University of Michigan
Health System said in a university news release. He and
his colleagues studied patients who'd just had a colostomy (结肠造口术), which means
their colons (结肠) were removed and they had to have bowel (肠) movements in a
pouch (小袋) outside the body. At the time of the surgery, some patients were told
the procedure was reversible and they'd have a second operation in a few months
to reconnect their bowels. Other patients were told the colostomy was permanent.
The patients were followed for six months, and the
researchers found that those without hope of regaining normal bowel function
were happier than those with reversible colostomies. "We
think they were happier because they got on with their lives. They realized the
cards they were dealt, and recognized that they had no choice but to play with
those cards," Ubel said. "The other group was waiting for their colostomy to be
reversed. They contrasted their current life with the life they hoped to lead,
and didn't make the best of their current situation. "
The study, published in the November edition of Health Psychology, also
may explain why people whose spouse (配偶) dies often recover better emotionally
over time than those who get divorced, the researchers said.
That's because people whose husband or wife dies have closure (结束), while
those who get divorced may still have hope for some chance of making up, they
explained.
