初一上英语悦读联播5 MATT?S MOTHER

Matt?s mother, Julie, is a doctor in a hospital in the USA. Hospitals are busy places. Every day people with broken legs, people who have had accidents, people who are sick and mothers who are sick and mothers who are having babies all come to the hospital. Often they stay in the

hospital for days, or even weeks, before they are well enough to leave. Staying in hospital for a long time can be very boring. Patients sleep in rooms called wards, and nurses look after them. A doctor visits them every day to see if they are well enough to go home.

Most doctors in hospitals look after just one type of patient. Julie looks after babies and small children who are sick. Sometimes she works in the daytime and sometimes at night. So sometimes Matt doesn?t see his mum for a few days. She is working when he is asleep. She is sleeping when he is awake! When this happens, they write each other notes to say ?Hi?!
