13、can help themselves to food at mealtimes and sit with others to eat, or go to the library to select another turner. A physiotherapist helps Carpenter with her painful back, and is working to help improve her confidence on stairs.Previously, an elderly person in Carpenters condition would most likely

14、 have ended up in an acute hospital ward(病房).There, very frequently, people of her age would get stuck, and many would go downhill fast.“They come into hospital, and our model in the NHS is to put them to bed,” says Steve Taylor, the divisional director for community services. “Put your pyjamas on,

15、you stay in that bed, we will feed you and toilet you.”Shockingly quickly, he says, patients can lose what abilities they previously had. “And then, when it comes time to discharge you, you can no longer walk.”This is probably the biggest challenge facing the NHS the problem of an older population,

They were

39、surprised to discover that most of them survived and some seemed to adapt and grow normally. Encouraged by these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former glory. A program is busy analyzing the worlds oceans to find

40、more varieties that can be used for this same purposeHowever, we are not out of the woods yet! Scientists are still not sure how they would introduce these varieties to areas where they are not abundant and more importantly what the consequences would be on the surrounding sea life.

Todays robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information, Loetscher said in a statemen
