英语四级阅读理解专项训练 Section 1Passage 1　　The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.　　As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the countrys most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.　　These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.　　A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britains first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.　　The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.　　The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at. 在医学的世界在医院环境质量可能重要作用从疾病中恢复的过程中逐步实现。在英国，使艺术走出画廊，进入公众地方的全国性努力的一部分，作为国家的最有才华的艺术家的一些被称为改造旧医院，软化硬边缘的现代建筑。一位艺术家，彼得高级，在七十年代初期的过程中他的工作室在东北英格兰曼彻斯特医院设立这些最近的倡议欠了很多。他觉得这位艺术家失去了他在现代社会，地方和艺术的问题，应受到更多的观众。典型医院候诊室可能有多达 500 游客每周。举行定期艺术展览的什么更好的地方？高级 1975 年曼彻斯特皇家医
