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] The need of a dying patient for company shows ________.
选项
A、his fear of approaching death
B、his reluctance to part With his family
C、his pessimistic attitude towards his condition
D、his desire for communication with other people
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。首先要根据文章内容,准确判断题干中的company在本文语境中的意思是“陪伴”。第四段第二句中的being with表示出了这个意思。这句话中的our patients指的就是上段中的terminally-ill patients,也就是题干中的a dying patient。有了他人的陪伴,这些病人could talk openly,honestly and frankly about their trouble,这正是对communication with other people的渴望,即选项D的内容。
