osal D Surgical teams accidentally leave clamps, sponges and other tools inside about 1,500 patients nationwide each year. The mistakes largely result not from surgeon tiredness, but from the stress arising from emergencies or plications(并發(fā)癥 ) discovered on the operating table, the researchers reported. The study found that emergency operations are nine times more likely to lead to such mistakes, and operating–room plications requiring a change in procedure are four times more likely. It also happens more often to fat patients, simply because there is more room inside them to lose equipment, according to the study. Two–thirds of the mistakes happened even though the equipment was counted before and after the procedure, in keeping with the standard practice. Most lost objects were sponges, but also included were metal clamps and electrodes(電極 ). In two cases, 11–inch retractors (牽引器 ) metal strips were fotten inside patients. In another operation, four sponges were left inside someone. When there is significant bleeding and a sponge is placed in a patient, it can sometimes look indistinguishable from the tissue around it. The lost objects usually lay around the abdomen (腹腔 ) or hips but sometimes in the chest. They often caused tears or infections. Most patients needed additional surgery to remove the object. In other cases, patients even sensed nothing about the object, and it turned up in later surgery for other problems. To prevent such mistakes from happening, Loyola University Medical Center is being one of the first hospitals in the country to use sponges outfitted with bar codes. The new system was brought to Loyola through the efforts of the hospital‘s operating room nurses. Another effective way is to X–ray patients after surgery to reduce the likelihood of objects being left inside patients. 62. In which of the following situations are objects most likely to be left inside a patient? A. The nurses are counting the equipment and the patient is being X–rayed. B. The surgeons are doing the last operation of the day, and everyone is exhausted. C. unexpected happens and some changes must be made in the procedure. D. A plex operation is going on according to the plan made by many experts. 63. What can we infer from the passage? A. Surgical teams aren‘t to blame for the mistakes. B. Some people never know there is something left inside their body. C. Most mistakes happen because equipment isn‘t counted after the procedure. D. Only some small objects may be left inside the patients. 64. What is the best title for the passage? A. Never Trust Anyone B. A Mistake in the Operating Room C. Carelessness and Mistakes D.

Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance. As a result, sleep problems are increasingly mon. In 2021, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, percent were diagnosed with insomnia (失眠 ) and another percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia. In addition, percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day. Overall, the survey found that many people suffer from the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night. The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep. The survey‘s findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night. The short term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase. There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from
