    White coats are commonly worn by doctors, but there is another type of clothing typically found in hospitals. This plain-looking clothing is known as scrubs. Scrubs are made up of a loose-fitting top and comfortable pants with an elastic waistband. They were originally designed to protect wearers from patients’ body fluids or infectious substances in an operating room. The name “scrubs” comes from the fact that surgeons and nurses scrub their hands before surgery. Today, scrubs are worn by many hospital personnel.

    In contrast to doctors’ white coats, scrubs come in various colors. Several decades ago, surgeons wore white scrubs to emphasize cleanliness. However, this color intensified the brightness of the lights in the operating room. Thus, the color was changed to green, which allows surgeons to see the red color of blood clearly and reduce eye fatigue. In many operating rooms, it is required that all personnel wear scrubs for safety reasons. Normally, surgical scrubs are owned or leasedby hospitals to ensure sterility.

    Other colors of scrubs are also common in hospitals. As blue is associated with calm emotions, it is worn by nurses or other healthcare workers who provide direct care for patients. Nurses who serve children or pregnant women tend to wear lighter-colored scrubs such as pink, which are considered warm and harmonious. Dental assistants and staff at private healthcare centers often wear white scrubs to show their professionalism. While there are no set rules for the colors of scrubs, they may potentially influence patients’ emotions.

答案:C

    醫師通常穿白袍,但在醫院內還經常可以看到另一種服裝。這種看起來樸素的服裝被稱為刷手服。刷手服是由寬鬆的上衣和舒適、有鬆緊帶的長褲組成。起初,刷手服的設計是要保護穿著者在手術室內不會接觸到病患的體液或傳染性物質。scrubs 這個字的由來是外科醫師和護理師在手術前會刷洗(scrub)他們的雙手。如今,許多醫事人員都會穿刷手服。
    相對於醫師的白袍,刷手服有各種顏色。數十年前,外科醫師穿白色的刷手服以強調乾淨。但是這個顏色會增強手術室內的光線亮度。因此,刷手服的顏色變成綠色,這讓外科醫師得以看清血的顏色,也能降低眼睛疲勞。在許多手術室中,所有人員都因為安全而被要求穿著刷手服。一般來說,手術用的刷手服是醫院所有或要跟醫院租借以確保無菌。
    其他顏色的刷手服在醫院裡也很常見。因為藍色和平靜的情緒有關聯,提供病患直接照護的護理師或其他醫療照護工作者會穿著藍色。照護小孩或孕婦的護理師往往會穿如粉紅色等較淺色的刷手服,這些顏色的刷手服被認為是溫暖且和諧的。牙醫助理和私人醫療中心的員工常穿白色的刷手服來展現自身的專業。雖然刷手服的顏色沒有固定的規則,但其顏色可能會對病患的情緒有潛在影響。

1. 我們從第一天文章中可以得知關於醫師袍的什麼事?
(A) 過去只有醫師可以穿這種服裝。 (B) 其顏色自從 1800 年代末期改變後就維持不變。
(C) 白袍現在是能辨認出醫師的一項配件。 (D) 其顏色過去曾跟科學家的服裝一樣,但現在不同了。
(E) 一開始會穿白袍是因其能避免汙染。 (F) 醫師袍的顏色被改成白色是為了讓其較不會嚇到病患。
2. 文中哪一個字的意思是 “required by a law or rule”?
3. 起初穿著刷手服的目的是什麼?
4. 請根據以下人員的工作,幫他們找出最適合的刷手服,並將名字填入空格中。
♥ 凱西在手術期間提供協助。
♥ 馬克照顧罹患罕見疾病的孩童。
♥ 吉兒照護住在醫院病房的年長病患。
題解: 根據第二天文章第二段,在手術室中穿著綠色刷手服較佳;最後一段則提到,提供病患直接照顧的醫護人員會穿藍色刷手服;照護小孩或孕婦的護理師往往會穿粉紅色。由此可知,凱西應穿綠色,(b) 應填 Kathy;馬克適合穿粉紅色,(a) 應填 Mark;而吉兒可以穿藍色,(c) 應填 Jill。

 

答案:
1. B、C
2. mandatory / Mandatory.
3. protect wearers from patients’ body fluids or infectious substances in an operating room
4. (a)Mark (b)Kathy (c)Jill
