In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she39。d done when she arrived at her doctor39。s San Francisco office. It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy (化療) rooms, the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one. She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was chipping (剝落). It was a depressing room for a depressing routine—patients restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls. Ballard didn39。t have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients. I couldn39。t imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that, she says. As it happens, Ballard39。s physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his todo list. So Ballard made it her mission to brighten up the place. She started by ing 20 local designers. I wrote, 39。You don39。t know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms, she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr. Hufford39。s rooms each. As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork, and furniture. Dr. Hufford was delighted. All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it, he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients. Ballard was so encouraged by the patients39。 reactions that she created a nonprofit, Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo, to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon cutting, and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer, says Ballard. When she saw what we39。d done, she said, 39。I39。m gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn39。t going to, but now I know I39。m gonna beat it.（1）What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms? A.Her sympathy for cancer patients.B.Her passion for room decoration.C.The good relationship with Hufford.D.The request of a nurse in San Francisco.（
