It can be inferred from the passage that A. the role of hospital environment is being recognized B. hospital artists have done more than doctors C. exhibitions attract more people in hospitals than in museums D. the hospitals is a better place for people than the museum in Britain E Before Nicholas Clapp got there, he had half hoped that he might run into some of Ubar’s ruins stickingout of the sand. But finding the city wasn’t that easy. During the summer, he and his 40 helpers dug at 35 different spots. The only things they found were ground spiders, giant ticks, and deadly snakes. Just before Thanksgiving says Clapp, “We were within a whisker of total failure. But then Clapp’s team looked at the high-tech maps again and saw something surprising. Many of the caravan routeson the high-tech maps came together on the same spot marked “Omani Marketplace on Ptolomy’s map. Two maps, made almost 2000 years apart, pointed the team toward the same area! In December 1991, Clapp arrived at the spot where, according to the maps, the caravans met. Clapp had a handheld instrument that could detectobjects below the ground. It showed ruins under the sand! He and his team started digging. And then they found it! A. tower buried in the sand. They slowly unearthed a giant, eight-sided fortress. It had nine towers and many rooms. People had lived in this fortress 2000 years ago. Outside its walls, they had found buried remains of nearly 40 campsites. They seemed to be camping areas for traders. More digging found shards, or pieces of potteryfrom ancient Rome, Greece, China, Egypt, and Syria. Diggers and scientists agree that people were here for about 5000 years. Clapp and his team were excited as they continued to discover more pieces of the past that seemed to prove that it was the lost city of Ubar. “We started with this hopeless myth, says Clapp, “and then finally found the truth behind the myth. But is this unearthed site really the once-great Ubar? Experts aren’t totally persuaded. Donald Whitcomb is an archeologistat the University of Chicago. He doubts that Clapp really discovered Ubar. “There’s probably some truth to this myth, he says. “But Ubar is described as a place with walls all made of gold, and the rubies and emeralds. No gold or precious stones have been found by Clapp. “I’m not sure whether they discovered Ubar because I’m not sure if Ubar really existed, Whitcomb says. 查看更多

The medical world is gradually realising that the quality of the environment in the hospital may play an important role in helping patients to get better.  
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country’s best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings.
These recent movements were first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital on northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt that the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.  
A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! The effect is striking. Now in the passages and waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours, playful images and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view of garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
