Then these young doctors work in hospitals for several years to complete a training program called a residency(住院医生实习期). These medical residents provide hospitals with needed services in return for not much pay. They work under the supervision(管理) of medical professors and more experienced doctors. Medical residents treat patients. They carry out tests. They perform operations. They complete records. In hospitals with few nurses, residents also do work formerly done by nurses. Some medical residents work one-hundred or more hours in a single week. They often work for more than thirty-six hours at a time before they can rest. Critics (批评家) of this system say medical residents work too long and do not get enough rest. They say these young doctors may be too tired to perform their medical duties effectively. Now, the government will limit the number of hours of work that residents can work. Most doctors in training will be limited to eighty-four hours of work each week. They will have work periods of no more than twenty-four hours at one time. They will have ten hours of rest between work periods. Medical residents will have one day each week when they do not have to work. Any work they accept outside their hospitals will be limited. Experienced doctors and medical professors will closely supervise the residents to make sure they are not too tired to work. Many medical residents welcomed the work limits. Others, however, said the new policy may interfere with patient care and their own medical education. 60. If a first –year college student in America wants to be a doctor, he has to wait for ___.

A new study finds that people become smarter after starting a running program. In their study, the researchers had seven young people start a running program consisting of running 30 minutes, two or three times a week for at least 12 skills before and after the 3-month running program.

E Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas, such as airports, to benefits Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February, 2005. Now many European countries are expected to follow the example. Despite the different languages, traveling across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries. You also need a calculator because both countries had different money. Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member countries, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money in the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance police are valid in the other countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere. (责任编辑：admin) |
