    Is there a nationwide shortage of nurses? It’s hard to say．However, some characteristic symptoms often indicate that there is indeed a shortage．
    One symptom is the vacancy rate, or the percentage of budgeted positions that are unfilled．New England’s hospitals currently report that an average of 7 to 12 percent of their registered nurse positions are vacant, the highest level since the last shortage in the late 1980s．Vermont has a relatively low vacancy rate, at 7．8 percent．But its vacancies were at 1．2 percent just five years ago．
    Another symptom is the increased use of stopgap measures to fill empty positions．For instance, many nurses report an upswing in how frequently they are asked to stay past their shifts．According to Murphy, working in the St．Elizabeth’s Hospital, “The shortage has definitely created a lot of opportunities of overtime for our nurses, whether they want them or not．” Similarly, a national survey of registered nurses shows that in an average week, nurses in the U．S．work 2．4 more hours than they are scheduled to．Much of this extra time is voluntary, as nurses earn overtime pay when they stay to fill in blanks in the schedule．
    When they can’t fill open positions by more traditional means, health care providers hire temporary staff to tide them over．Travelling workers are the largest part of the temporary health care workforce, hired for thirteen-week reduction at health care facilities facing short-term lack of workers．Temporary workers, mainly nurses, cost hospitals $ 7．2 billion in 2000．
    “Any successful solution to the shortage depends on convincing more people to become nurses, and that is not an easy goal to reach．To achieve it,” says Buerhaus, “society needs to place more value on nursing．Legislation （法规） can’t do that – it should come from people．” And if this continues, we might have to learn to care for ourselves in the hospital．
    【小题1】The temporary staff hired by a hospital _______．

    A．cost a large part of the hospital’s budget
    B．meet the need for nurses in the hospital for a short time
    C．should work on a weekly basis and on a scheduled timetable[来源:学科网ZXXK]
    D．ought to work passively for thirty continuous weeks
    【小题2】According to Buerhaus, what is a successful solution to the nurse shortage?
    A．To convince people of the benefits of being a nurse．
    B．To ask the government for help to work out specific legislation．
    C．To publicize the past achievements of nurses．
    D．To make people aware of the importance of being a nurse．
    【小题3】What’s the probable meaning of the underlined word “upswing” in Paragraph 3?
    A．SymptomB．DecreaseC．IncreaseD．Figure
    【小题4】What’s the author’s attitude towards nurse shortage?
    A．WorriedB．IndifferentC．DoubtfulD．Optimistic

    If you are afraid of the dark，it’s not a big deal．It’s perfectly normal to feel afraid After all，animals do too. “Fear matters，”says Karen Warkentin，an ecologist．“It’s a good thing，” she adds, “because fear makes you do things that keep you alive.”

    Like kids，many animals experience fear and they respond to the feeling in variety of ways．A frightened turtle pulls its head and legs inside its shell．A  small fish will swim away when a big，hungry fish approaches．

    Some animals respond to fear in ways you might not expect．The first example is that the fear of being eaten can scare some frogs right out of their eggs. Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red—eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.

    In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps（果冻一样的块状物）of their eggs to the undersides of leaves．The leaves hang on branches that dangle（悬挂）over ponds．After they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles（蝌蚪）then fall into the water，where they eventually grow into adult frogs.

    Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching．If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.

    If hatching early helps protect red—eyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs don’t always hatch sooner．It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger．Once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too．Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos（胚胎）to grow big and strong．This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water．

    1.It can be inferred from the passage that fears      .

    A．help animals grow bigger and stronger

    B．are less common among young animals

    C．help animals move a lot to fit the environment

    D．are more or less important in order for animals to survive

    2.We are told in the passage that tree frogs       .

    A．face danger both inside their eggs and in the water

    B．will grow fast if they fall into the water later

    C．are surprisingly clever when inside their eggs

    D．stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened

    3.Why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule？Because

    A．They like falling into the water early

    B．They want to grow into adult frog

    C． They sense a hungry snake is about to attack

    D．Frog embryos can grow strong

    4.What is the best title of the passage ？

    A．What is Fear                           B．Why do we feel afraid

    C．You feel afraid，animals do too             D．Fear is a good thing

    5.What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?

    A．Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule．

    B．How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them．

    C．Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way．

    D．How tree frogs improve their chances of survival before falling into the water.
