The last paragraph of the second text is on medium degree. It needs three additions. First, in the seventh sentence “Tell us how we can do a
better job giving you objective, useful information. This sentence still needs an additive conjunction, so it can be got “Tell us how we can do a
better job giving you objective, and useful information.Second,the
sentence “Drop me a note and share your thoughts with the rest of our readers on my blog at usnews.comeditor.” Then the third, the writer adds
a causality conjunction “so” in the last sentence of that paragraph, as follow: “So, drop me a note and share your thoughts with the rest of our
readers on my blog at usnews.comeditor” because it is a conclusion of the fifth paragraph.

a. Paragraph one
Ranking matter, but so do the people who give the care. A lot of data goes into our annual “Best Hospitals” rankings, just as a lot of
data underlies so much of modern medicine. But people matter, too. It
’s just that not everything they contribute to a patient can be measured. You’ll see what I mean when you take a look at Avery
Comarow’s remarkable story about Cincinnati Children’s Hospital on page 49. The staffs combination of technical skill and personal care
has made it one of the country’s best and case study we can learn
from.
b. Paragraph two
Like each of the eight children’s hospitals that made our honor roll
this year, Cincinnati Children’s does well in many specialities.
Comarow zeroed in on how it handles the baffling disease known as cystic fibrosis and shows how rigorous the caregivers are about
finding best practices while giving its young patients humane treatment. The photos by Charlie Archambault give you a frank
understanding of the daily struggles of a child with a chronic disease that no set of statistics could ever convey.
c. Paragraph three
Powerful numbers. Much as we’d like to, we can’t tell this kind of story for every hospital that makes our list. We survey early 5,000 of
the nation’s hospitals and select the few hundred top performers in key specialities. And we know from experience that the numbers also
tell important stories. Our hospital rankings have long provided some
vital benchmarks for customers and medical professionals. In this,
you ’ll find detailed tables of the various specialities as well as the
overall honor roll for those hospitals that do well in many categories.

the nation’s hospitals can help you make comparisons.

Beyond the numbers, we also take you through some of the critical issues to consider if you or a loved one is facing the prospect of a
hospital stay. The experience is a daunting one, even in the best of
circumtances. But the shifting rules of healthcare make it imperative that you think about things like insurance, billing, and patient option
before you walk through the door.
e. Paragraph five
We ’ve always thought that helping you to be an informed patient
hyponym, 30 was part of our job at U.S News. We want to provide you
