Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were aware of its possible result.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly (坦白地)about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to deal with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior (在先的)to death.

Nowadays more and more people are interested in aerobic(adj. 健身操) exercises. There are many such programs on TV or you can just go to a club to learn the exercises. But here is some advice for you to follow once you decide to take them up or are just about to start.
First, get your doctor's permission to start an aerobic exercise program. He or she will check your physical condition and tell you whether it's safe to start exercising.
Make sure that each time you start with a warm-up period. You should stretch(伸展)your muscles and get them ready for your workout. Warm up for at least five minutes.
Then start actual training. Jog, bike, or do exercises that get your heart rate up to the target range. Depending on your age and your physical condition, aim to raise your pulse rate to be to between 140 and 160 beats per minute. Take your pulse during exercises to make sure that your heart rate doesn't get too fast. After the 20-minute aerobic exercises, start cooling down. Do a few gentle stretches while you catch your breath. If your heart rate does not return to a resting rate (about 70) within five minutes, you're working out too hard. Finally, during the recovery period, sit down and relax. The following graph(图表)will help you to learn about the safe pulse rate in each period.
