The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Canada has organized a group of doctors to help sick people in the past few months. The doctors will send patients to art galleries, instead of 【小题1】(give) them medicine. The museum is involved in ten experiments on patients to find out how art has an effect 【小题2】 health. The patients include people with breast cancer (乳腺癌), eating disorders and mental health 【小题3】 (problem). Thomas Bastien, director of education and wellness at the museum, believes that art can heal. He said, “We saw that the museum was good for people, so we 【小题4】 (decide) to start this program with the doctors a few months ago. If you have breast cancer, you can come to the museum and you might feel much 【小题5】 (well)”.

Dr Helene Boyer, 【小题6】 has a lot of experience in helping to heal people with art treatment, spoke about its advantages. She said, “There’s more and more scientific evidence that art treatment is good for your physical health.” She said that looking at art increases 【小题7】 same kinds of hormones (激素) in our bodies that 【小题8】 (produce) when we exercise. The museum’s director-general said, “I am 【小题9】 (complete) sure that in the 21st century, art will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century. I am very 【小题10】 (confidence) in it.”

Around the world, people love to keep dogs as 【小题1】 (pet). However, there is something you might not know about these 【小题2】(love) animals. If your dogs become uneasy or sad around you, it might mean you are sick! This is 【小题3】 they may be able 【小题4】 (smell) that something is wrong with you.

At 【小题5】 research center in England, dogs 【小题6】(teach) to smell cancer in people’s urine samples(尿样). To see if the dogs could 【小题7】(real) smell the cancer, the researchers gave them a special test. They were brought into a room, and in front of them were different urine samples. Only one of them 【小题8】(come) from a person with cancer. Neither the dogs nor the people there knew 【小题9】 urine sample had cancer in it. When they smelled cancer in a urine sample, the dogs had to sit down in front of that sample. One dog, 【小题10】 (name) Bee, was best at the test. It found the right sample 60% of the given time! So, if your dog smells you too much and looks a bit uneasy, maybe you should visit the doctor just to be on the safe side!

In the early 19th century, cholera 【小题1】 (severe) hit Europe, which caused millions of 【小题2】 (death). At that time, as a famous doctor in London, John Snow was so expert that he attended to Queen Victoria as her personal physician. But he never gave up his desire to defeat “King Cholera” and save common people’s lives.

Cholera was a deadly disease and 【小题3】 (it) cause was not understood. John Snow rose to face the challenge and solve the problem. He suspected that cholera 【小题4】 (cause) by an infection from germs in food or water, but he needed proof. So when another severe outbreak hit London, he began to investigate by 【小题5】 (mark) on a map the exact places 【小题6】 all those who died had lived. Then he found that many victims during the outbreak were near the water pump, so he had the handle removed. As 【小题7】 result, soon the disease slowed down. He was sure that the water pump was 【小题8】 (blame) and people should drink pure or 【小题9】 (boil) water.

The water companies were instructed not to sell people the polluted water any more. Thanks 【小题10】 the work of John Snow, finally “King Cholera” was defeated.
