5 . A woman whose social media searching for a nurse who cared for her almost 40 years ago went viral this week has found the mystery woman—in only 24 hours.

Amanda Scarpinati has wondered all her life about a nurse who helped her in the Albany Medical Center in 1977. At three months old, Scarpinati caught a cold, so her parents put her on a couch near a hot steam humidifier. She was in the living room by herself and rolled off the couch and landed right on the humidifier. She remained there for a full minute, suffering third degree burns on her face and hands.

Scarpinati spent seven weeks in the hospital and went through many surgeries during her youth as a result. All through elementary school, she was picked on and laughed at because of it. But one person Scarpinati knows treated her with only loving care—a nurse at the burn unit, whose photo Scarpinati had seen for years. “There is a picture of us together in an annual report for Albany Medical Center from that year. I don’t know how our family got hold of it, but I’ve always had the report and I would stare at the picture and wonder who she was, ever since I was a kid. But I’ve never had a name to go with the face,” Scarpinati says.

Scarpinati says she tried to locate the nurse 20 years ago, but with no luck. “I went to Albany Medical Center and they did some research but weren’t really able to find anything,” she says. “I just wanted to thank her.”

Nurse’s work is important to Scarpinati, whose mother is also a nurse. “What they do is truly amazing. Most of the time it’s not the doctors who have the beside manner, it’s the nurses that comfort you. I remember as a kid having one surgery and my mother couldn’t be there but a nurse was,” Scarpinati says.

1. Why did Amanda Scarpinati stay in the Albany Medical Center?

A．Because she caught a bad cold.	B．Because her parents didn’t raise her.
C．Because she was burned badly.	D．Because she fixed the humidifier.

2. What happened to Scarpinati during her elementary school?

A．She spent seven weeks in the hospital every year.

B．She was made fun of by other students in her school.

C．She was well treated by one person with loving care.

D．She had no spend most of her time on the Internet.

3. What is Scarpinati’s clue for finding the nurse?

A．The picture on the medical center’s annual report.	B．The telephone number the nurse gave her.
C．The living room they once lived together.	D．The name of the nurse who cared for her.

4. What did Scarpinati’s words in the last paragraph mean?

A．Scarpinati’s mother is also a nurse.	B．Being a doctor is wonderful.
C．Nurses should do much for patients.	D．Nurse’s job is very important.

6 . Costa Rica’s jungles might seem an unlikely spot for a group of medics (医学工作者) to gather together. But struggling through this dense stretch of Central American wilderness, that’s exactly who you might encounter.

Trading medical instruments and lab-made medicines for rafts and snake venom, these medics come together under the guidance of World Extreme Medicine (WEM), an organisation training medical staff like nurses and doctors to work in the world’s most unstable and remote conditions.

Extreme medicine is a subdiscipline (分支) of medicine in which healthcare providers respond to crises in war zones, assist those left behind after humanity’s most horrific disasters, and conduct medicine not just on land, but also deep beneath the sea and even in outer space. While all medics need to think on their feet, Mark Hannaford, the founder of WEM, explains that for extreme medics, that need is heightened. Medics might treat a patient in the burning heat of a desert, on an ice-cold tundra(苔原), or stabilize a person at altitude or in the dark. Despite this, he says, “you don’t need to run a marathon with a backpack on every day to be an extreme medic. Physical fitness is not the challenge. The challenge is adequately preparing yourself for the environment you are going into.”

“You really have to take good self-care in these environments,” adds pre-hospital lead and extreme medicine trainer, Eoin Walker. In places like Costa Rica, he teaches medics skills in security, diet and wound closure etc.. But medics also learn to care for their own physical and mental health. “In the UK, we don’t have to remember to drink every hour, or clean and dry our feet, or look at our calorie content — but you do in that environment,” he says.

“People who live where disaster hits still have issues like diabetes, babies are still being born, people need medical treatment,” says Mark. And with more disasters set to strike, their needs will only increase. “Training extreme medics is becoming more important as we face environmental challenges like climate change,” he adds.

1. Costa Rica’s jungles in this text are where ______.

A．extreme medical service is offered	B．extreme medics create new medicine
C．the head office of WEM is located	D．extreme medics do business with locals

2. What does the underlined phrase “that need” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Being physically healthy.	B．Providing healthcare in crisis.
C．Responding wisely and quickly.	D．Analyzing working environment.

3. What message does Eoin Walker want to convey?

A．It’s never too late to learn.	B．Self-care cannot be stressed enough.
C．Prevention is better than cure.	D．Healthy environment matters a lot.

4. What is the purpose of the text?

A．To call on people to be extreme medics.

B．To introduce a new rising branch of medicine.

C．To recommend a medical training organization.

D．To show the growing demand of medics in remote areas.
