　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Some people act sick to get out of work. Others act to get work. For medical actors like Ted Bell, the stage is an examination room with a future doctor, nurse or other health care professional.

　　Mr. Bell is playing a 55-year-old patient with stomach pains that began three months ago. Ted Bell is just playing a teacher. But in a way he really does teach. He helps students like Emily Tyrrell at the University of Maryland School of Nursing learn to work with patients.

　　In real life, Mr. Bell is a retired civil engineer. He now works as what is known as a “standardized patient”. He stays busy working at local medical schools. About 700 standardized patients work in the area. Pay starts at 17 dollars an hour. It can go as high as 35 dollars an hour depending on the project.

　　Becoming a standardized patient does not require medical knowledge. The schools provide the training. Nor does it require acting experience. In fact, standardized patient Tom Wyatt is a professional actor — yet he does not even think of his work with the students as acting.

　　Standardized patients spend hours training for each of their “performances”. They have to remember the medical history of the person they are playing and be able to answer questions as if they were really sick. Tom Wyatt says remembering all the patients he has to play and their conditions can be difficult.
