 阅读理解When Philip Santininoticed an infection, he contacted his primary care physician, Jane Chargot, M. D. ,and she gave him some medicine. However, test results showed that he wasn't recovering. Over the phone, Santiniwas told he would need to go to the hospital to get infusions (输液) three times a day for a week. He was packed and ready to head out to the hospital when he received another phone call. An alternative plan was suggested instead — Hospital Care at Home. Care at Home, a Michigan Medicine program which improves the patient experience while freeing up hospital beds, has already admitted and transferred more than 50 patients from the emergency department and inpatient hospital to receive hospital level care from the comfort of their own homes. Santiniwas the first direct registration patient for this program, meaning he never presented to the hospital initially. It was no surprise that there was a celebration for this milestone. "I was ready to head out to the emergency department," said Santini, who even had a list of things to take when he got a call from Stephanie Paran, R. N. ,a nurse at U-M Briarwood Family Medicine. "Hearing Paran'swords, I sprang to my feet and didn't hesitate to accept the advice. "Although he initially didn't know what to expect, he later said what the care team did was far beyond his expectations, especially the caregivers. The staff gave him infusions three times a day for six days. They took his regular medications away, just like how they would in a hospital. They checked the infection, drew blood and even brought in an ultrasound machine. "I didn't know that was possible," Santinisaid. After discharge, a Michigan Visiting Nurse visited once a week until he completely recovered. Santinibelieved treatment at home has helped the healing process. "I've never felt really comfortable in the hospital," he said. "It's hard to get good sleep there. At home I had my own food, my own bed, plus my wife is here. No one has to go out of their way to visit me. It's a healthier experience. I would encourage anyone to consider it. " （1） What is the advantage of Care at Home? A . It can reduce the patients' expenses. B . It can lessen the pressure on hospitals. C . It can avoid the waste of medical resources. D . It can improve the doctor-patient relationship. （2） How did Santinifeel when hearing of Care at Home? A . Hesitant. B . Upset. C . Excited. D . Curious. （3） What can we infer about Care at Home from Paragraph 6? A . It offers professional service. B . It is much better than hospital. C . It can make impossible possible. D . It only provides one-week treatment. （4） What can be the best title for the text? A . A Cure for Common Infection B . A Tendency in Family Health C . The Popularity of Medical Care D .
