21、Whether it’s a tricky math problem or an unexpected bill, daily life is full of stressful experiences. Previous studies have suggested dogs might pick up on human emotions, possibly through smell, but questions remained over whether they could detect stress and if this could be done through odor(气味).
Clara Wilson is a PhD student at Queen’s University Belfast and first author of a new research. He and colleagues report how they first constructed a stand bearing three containers, each lid with a hole.They were able to train four dogs to indicate the container holding a particular breath and sweat sample, even when the line-up included unused gauze(纱布),samples from another person,or samples from the same person taken at a different time of day. Then the team turned to breath and sweat samples collected from 36 people asked to count backwards from 9,000 in units of 17. The participants reported feeling stressed by the task and, for the 27 who carried it out in the laboratory, their blood pressure and heart rate rose.
The dogs were taught to pick out samples taken just after the task from a line-up that included two containers holding unused gauze. The researchers then tested whether the dogs could do the same when the line-up included unused gauze and samples taken from the same participant just before the task, when they were more relaxed. Each set of samples was shown to a single dog in 20 trials. The results reveal that the dogs chose the “stressed” sample in 675 out of the 720 trials.
“While it is unclear what chemicals the dogs were picking up on, the study has definitively proven that people, when they have a stress response, their odor profile changes,”said Wilson, adding the findings could prove useful when training service dogs, such as those that support people with post-traumatic stress disorder(创伤后应激障碍).

B.introduce a stress-based research

One day,I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot while waiting for my husband.A pretty female driver pulled into the spot beside our car.There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor.Her eyes were as blue as the sea,and teeth like an even row of pearls.A few minutes 1ater,a nice looking man entered her car,leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.
Sitting there,I wanted to cry.How could some people have it all?
Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week.She seemed friendly and always waved,flashing a big smile.My envy continued to exist long after she drove away.
A couple of weeks later,sitting in our usual parking lot,I was holding a book,watching her over the top of it.Her husband came to the car,took her arm and helped her out of the car.I could see very well as she moved to get out.She unsteadily walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane.Sitting sideways.she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other.The beautiful lady had a prosthesis(假肢) on the left Ieg and a brace(支持物) on the right leg.
I couldn’t watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me.Through my tears,I told my husband about the beautiful lady.He said he knew her husband and the story.The lady and her parents were in a car that got caught on the railroad tracks and was hit by a train.Both parents were killed and she was severely injured.She was only 12 years old.The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals.He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.
I prayed for forgiveness all the way home.The lady I thought had everything I didn’t.I realized how lucky I was to have my parents,the ability to walk,run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can’t buy.I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything.

23、When I was a practicing physical therapist (理疗师), my patients rehab (康复) needs varied. While they understood the benefits of physical therapy, the act of coming into the clinic was a huge inconvenience. Physical therapy often requires in-person appointments multiple times per week. In the traditional outpatient model, that means patients must take time out of their busy lives to travel to a clinic.
Over the past year, the health care system at large has adopted telehealth and other virtual care solutions so that patients could communicate with their primary care providers. However, for physical therapy, telehealth doesn’t do the job. But there is still a preferable alternative to the traditional in-clinic physical therapy model: at-home rehabilitation.
Patient convenience
Anyone who has ever been prescribed an extended regimen of physical therapy in a clinic has experienced inconveniences and barriers to care. Compare that to receiving therapy in the home and the differences are stark.
There are no waiting rooms, no time wasted on travel and no need to arrange child care. Patients get all the benefits of an in-person visit without the hassle of going to a clinic.
Therapist benefits
While decentralizing care settings may seem like a burden for therapists, who must travel to each appointment, there are models that have shown it works provided incentives are aligned correctly. For instance, one company that provides at-home physical therapy allows therapists to sign up for appointments whenever they’d like, meaning they’re able to pick up extra appointments in addition to a full-time clinical job. They’re able to earn extra income on their own schedules. For therapists looking to pay off debt from their studies, bringing care to people’s homes becomes a tremendous asset rather than a burden.
As we emerge from the pandemic and people feel more comfortable returning to traditional methods of receiving care, we should make sure they’re able to choose to continue receiving rehab at home. My bet is that many will.
【1】The big trouble encountered by patients receiving physical therapy traditionally is that _____________.
A.most of their demands cannot be satisfied
B.they can’t see the doctor in person
C.it’s difficult for them to make an in-person appointment
D.they have to spend a deal of time going to the clinic
【2】According to Paragraph 2, what has happened in the health care system?
A.Telehealth has made physical therapy more convenient.
B.Digital technology has changed the current health care system.
C.The doctor-patient communication has been strengthened generally.
D.At-home rehabilitation is less preferable to the traditional treatment.
【3】The underlined word “stark” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____________.
A.clear
B.real
C.basic
D.slight
【4】What do we know about the sentence “Patients get all the benefits of an in-person visit” in Paragraph 4?
A.The patients’ conveniences are mostly reduced.
B.Patients receive all kinds of benefits in the clinic.
C.Physical therapists provide door-to-door service.
D.A considerable amount of time and money are saved.
