24、related G. assess H. dissatisfaction I. profession J. occursNursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression that nurses are there to wait on the position. As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral obligation t
25、o any physician. We provide health teaching, _41_ physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services a nd make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that the physicians order is _42_ or unsafe, we h
26、ave a legal responsibility to _43_that order or refuse to carry it out. Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the _44_. The emotional and physical stress, however, which _45_ due to hard working hours is a prime reason for a lot of t
27、he career _46_. It is sometimes required that we work overtime and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except _47_ friends and activities. The quality of nursing care is being aff
28、ected dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of medically-related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand _48_ in our medical system. But if _49_ continue as
29、 predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced and sometimes inadequately-trained nurses.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank
30、 with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The famous American inventor Thomas Alva Edison once claimed that genius was one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration(汗水). Now, it seems, there is scientific evidence to _50_ his claim. The idea that geniuses such as Shakespeare
31、, Mozart, and Picasso possessed certain inborn talents is a false belief, according to a study by a British psychologist and his colleagues.After examining outstanding performance in the arts and sports, these researchers concluded that _51_ is determined by opportunity, encouragement, training, mot
32、ivation, self-confidence, and most important of all _52_. Even people who were not thought to be 53_ with any special talent could, after having received training, reach levels _54_ considered attainable (可获得的 ) only by gifted individuals. Talent is a false belief, and it is time that people got rid
33、 of it,” they said.This theory a dramatic _55_ with traditional beliefs has been _56_ by academics worldwide. In fact, studies of accomplished artists and mathematicians, and top tennis players and swimmers, have reported few early signs of _57_ in these people before any parental encouragement. No
34、case has been found of anyone reaching the highest levels of achievement without _58_ himself or herself to thousands of hours of serious training. Even those who are believed to be exceptionally talented whether in music, mathematics, chess, or sports have needed lengthy periods of instruction and
35、practice to achieve their highest level of success. The persistent false belief that some people reach high levels of performance without spending numerous hours practising _59_ much to the fact that their practice is usually outside the casual observers view, stated one scientist.The importance of
36、practice has been noticed in athletics. For instance, differences in the composition of certain muscles were once thought to be _60_ predictors of athletic performance. However, the differences in the proportion of certain muscle fibers(组织) that are _61_ for success in long-distance running are larg
37、ely the result of extended practice in running.What makes a genius then? one may ask. _62_, there is no clear answer. What is known, however, is that nurture is at least as important as nature. _63_, a supportive environment will do far more for a childs prospects of success than any inborn gifts. T
38、his is a message that most of us will find _64_ even if we havent won the gene lottery, our fate is still in our own hands.50. A. make B. challenge C. support D. dismiss51.

44、city. With more than 100 kilometers of canals, it is no wonder that Amsterdam is called the Venice of the north.
