【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的是医院里需要男护士，分析了具体的原因。

1.but 句意：在我们的医院里我们需要更多的男性，不是做医生，而是做护士。根据句意可知上下文含有转折关系，故使用but。

2.at 考察固定搭配be good at…擅长于…；男性也可以有很出色的生涯，在照顾别人方面和女性一样出色。故使用at。

3.their 本句的主语是many men，所以使用their作为物主代词修饰nieces and nephews。

4.that 本句是that引导的是表语从句。男性成为好的护士的另外一个原因是身体上男孩比女性更强壮。that在表语从句中不充当任何成分，也没有任何含义。

5.while/when/as 本句是一个时间状语从句，当他们接受疼痛的治疗的时候，男护士在让病人不动方面会是一个更大的帮助。所以使用while/when/as。

6.which 本句中的which引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前面一句话的内容，在句中做主语。

7.than 本句前面的better是比较级形式，所以使用than表示比较。

8. a 本句中的名词atmosphere前面有fun修饰，可以使用a表示一种快乐的氛围。
