SECTION IV: READING

Read the text and complete the two tasks below.

Laughter as a Cure

Section I

Many large hospitals around the world today have established a clown program as a part of their therapy in treating sick children. More and more doctors realize that although they can treat a child’s illness, clowns provide laughter, joy, and happiness, which helps young patients forget their pain and suffering.

Section II

Hospitals can be scary places for children who have probably never spent a night away from home before. They miss their parents and loved ones, and are often afraid of their new surroundings. They may think of a doctor or nurse as the person who gives them horrible-tasting medicine or, worse still, a painful injection. This fear inspired medical staff to come up with the idea of introducing clowns as a therapeutic treatment for youngsters. The clowns themselves are often part of the hospital staff and have to be specially trained. More often than not they volunteer for the job because they know that they are helping to ease a child’s suffering.

Section III

The clowns will visit the wards two or three times a week and see about twenty patients a day. They arrive with a sack filled with fun things for kids to do and spend from twenty to thirty minutes with each child. The children themselves invite the clowns to their bedside only if they want to. Some kids are afraid of clowns so they usually wear very little make-up. What they do wear is a colorful costume, a silly hat and of course a big red nose! However, once these children see the fun the other patients are having, they soon forget their fear. Parents of sick children love the clowns too for the benefits they bring, including increased confidence and self-esteem.

Section IV

Clown therapy is a huge success and more and more hospitals today are seeing the effects it has on children. Instead of most of them fearing hospitals, they can now think of them as places filled with fun. Medical staff as well as parents and patients all agree that clowns bring so much happiness to hospitals that they can’t imagine what it would be like not to have them. You could say that giving kids a dose of laughter as well as a dose of medicine is just what the doctor ordered!
