In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who had ever been close by during the birth of a baby and baby ever experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients even when those patients are their parents. This deprives the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of the life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally-ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies(幻想). Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death. [br] Children in American today are denied the chance of ______.
选项
A、attending to patients
B、visiting dying patients
C、having access to a hospital
D、learning how to face death
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。题干中today是指第二段段首的Nowadays,那么Children in American today就是第二段第二句中的children,医院不让他们去探望重症病人,即使是探望他们的父母都不行。第三句说明了这种现象造成的后果,句中的This和it指的都是第二句的内容。题干中的denied和第二句中的forbidden以及第三句中的deprives意义相近。由“it deprives the children of an experience of death,which is...”这半句可以看出, the children are denied an learning experience of death,也就是D项所说的learning how to face death。
