9、al 本题要求考生判断 4个选项中哪一个是根据文章可以推断出的结论，要求考生根据文章内容作出合理的推断。从本题所提供的 4个选项来看，文章并未谈及护士的“耐心“（A）;也未谈及护士的“工资待遇“（Q） ，只是说到护士的工资提升要由各科室推荐；更未涉及护士的“工作时间长短“（D） ） ，文章的第一段最后一句才是得出正确答案的依据，这句的意思是：“如果我们确要解决护理工作不足的问题，那么各地医院的行政部门和医生最好还是效法一下 Beth Israel医院“，主句的虚拟语气也说明这一点：迄今为止还未做到。由此可以推断：护理不充分是一个应该解决的问题；这个问题普遍存在，否则就没有必要要求各地医院行政部
