Health Care in the US
Health care in the US is well-known but very expensive. Paying the
doctor's bill after a major illness or accident can cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
In the US, a person's company, not the government, pays for health insurance.
Employers have contracts with insurance companies, which pay for all or part of employees' doctors' bills.
The amount that the insurance company will pay out to a patient differs
wildly. It all depends on what insurance the employer pays. The less
the boss pays to the insurance company, the more the employee has to
pay the hospital each time he or she gets sick. In 2004, the average
worker paid an extra US$558 a year, according to a San Francisco
report.
The system also means many Americans fall through the cracks (遭遗漏). In 2004,
only
61 per cent of the population received health insurance through their
employers, according to the report. The unemployed, self-employed,
part-time workers and graduated students with no jobs were not
included.
Most US university students have a gap between
their last day of school and their first day on the job. Often, they
are no longer protected by their parents' insurance because they are
now considered independent adults. They also cannot buy university
health insurance because they are no longer students.
Another
group that falls through the gap of the US system is international
students. All are required to have health insurance and cannot begin
their classes without it. But exact policies (保险单) differ from school
to school.
Most universities work with health insurance companies
and sell their own standard plan for students Often, buying the school
plan is required, but luckily it's also cheaper than buying direct from
the insurance company.
16 In the US, a person's company buys him or her health insurance
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
17 All employees in the US have the same kind of health insurance
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
18 In 2004, most of the unemployed in the US were women.

19 In the US, graduated students with no jobs can buy university health insurance

20 All international students in the US have to buy health insurance
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

ZYBAN Tablets (药片)
1
ZYBAN is a prescription (处方) medicine to help people quit smoking.
Studies have shown that more than one third of people quit smoking for
at least one month while taking ZYBAN. For many patients, ZYBAN reduces
withdrawal symptoms (脱瘾过程中产生的症状) and the strong wish to smoke.
2 ZYBAN should be taken as directed by your doctor. The usual recommended dosing
(剂
量) is to take one 150-mg tablet in the morning for the first 3 days. On
the fourth day, begin taking one 150-mg tablet in the morning and one
150-mg tablet in the early evening. Doses should be taken at least 8
hours apart.
3 For most patients, treatment will last 7 to 12
weeks. Because results vary, it may take longer for some people,
Possibly up to 6 months depending on the individual. If you've been
smoking for a long time, ZYBAN will help to reduce withdrawal symptoms.
It's important to remain on ZYBAN for at least 7 to 12 weeks in order
to quit for good. Your doctor should determine when to stop taking
ZYBAN
4 It takes about 1 week for ZYBAN to reach the right levels
in your body to be effective So, to increase your chance of quitting as
much as possible, you should not stop smoking until you have been
taking ZYBAN for 1 week. You should set a date to stop smoking during
the second week you're taking ZYBAN.
5 The side effects (副作用)
associated with ZYBAN are generally mild and often disappear after a
few weeks. The most common side effects are dry mouth and difficulty in
sleeping. If you have difficulty sleeping, avoid taking your medicine
too close to bedtime

下面有3篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题定1个最佳选项。
Sleepwalking (梦游)
Not all sleep is the same every night. We experience some deep, quiet
sleep and some active sleep, which is when dreams happen. You might
think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep, but a person isn't
physically active during active sleep. Sleepwalking usually happens in
the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave or deep
sleep.
Not all sleepwalkers actually walk. Some simply sit up
or stand in bed or act like they're awake when in fact, they're asleep!
Most, however, do get up and move around for a few seconds or for as
long as half an hour.
Sleepwalkers' eyes are open, but they
don't see the same way they do when they're awake and often think
they're in different rooms of the house or different places
altogether'. Sleepwalkers tend to go back to bed on their own and they
won't remember it in the morning.
Researchers estimate that about 15% of kids sleepwalk regularly.
Sleepwalking may run in families (在家族中世代相传) and sometimes occurs when a
person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep, or is
stressed (紧张).
If sleepwalking occurs frequently, every night
or so, it's a good idea for your mom or dad to take you to see your
doctor. But occasional sleepwalking generally isn't something to worry
about, although it may look funny or even scary (骇人的) for the people
who see a sleepwalker in action.
Although occasional sleepwalking
isn't a big deal, it's important, of course, that the person is kept
safe. Precautions (预防措施) should be taken so the person is less likely
to fall down, run into something, or walk out the front door while
sleepwalking.
31 When does sleepwalking usually occur?
A During active sleep,
B During deep sleep.
C In the daytime.
D In the early morning.
32 What most sleepwalkers do is
A simply sit up.
B simply stand in bed.
C get up and walk for some time
D get up and walk for hours
33 Sleepwalkers usually go back to bed
A after waking up.
B after being woken up.
C with the help of others.
D by themselves.
34 You'd better go and see a doctor if you
A see a sleepwalker in action.
B never sleepwalk,
C sleepwalk frequently.
D sleepwalk occasionally
35 Measures should be taken to
A keep sleepwalkers safe.
B prevent people from sleepwalking
C avoid running into sleepwalkers.
D help people sleep well.
Too Late to Regret it
When I was a junior, I met a second-year student in my department. He
wasn't tall or good-looking, but he was very nice, attractive and
athletic. He had something that I admired very much. He was natural,
warm, and sincere.
I disregarded (不顾) my parents'
disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm
every morning, and after class we would sit alongside the stream that
ran through campus, or sunbathe (晒太阳) on the lawn. At night he would
walk me back to my dorm. He came from a poor family, but in order to
make me happy, he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and
meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and
the girls envied (妒忌) me. He wasn't a local, but wanted to stay here
after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
However, when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation, people
began giving me a lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent
girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This was also
what my family thought. He spent the summer in his hometown, so I was
all by myself. When he got back, I began finding fault with him. But
his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away.
However, I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would
get worse.
I had a good part4ime job off campus that paid
pretty well. With my good performance at school, I also got admission
to graduate school at one of China's best universities. He, on the
other hand, did not do so well at school or at work. I had to worry
about his living expenses, job and scores.
Almost all my
colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a
quarrel last June. He was in great pain, and my cold words and bad
moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing
near, and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown. He said that he
couldn't put up with me anymore. I was shocked and looked at him in
despair.
True love happens only once, but I found it out too late.

Happy Therapy (诊疗)
Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United States who often
traveled around the world on business. He enjoyed his work and
traveling.

could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr.

Friends May Be Key to Living Longer
Looking for the secret of a long life? Look closely at your friends.
New research suggests that having a strong network of friends helps
people live longer.
"Older people with better social networks of friends were less likely to (51)
over
a 10-year follow-up (随访) period than older people with (52)
friends networks," Lynne C. Giles of Flinders University in Australia
told Reuters Health.
But in what may come as a surprising
finding to older people (53) rely on their children and other
relatives, having a large network of relatives was not associated with
longer life, according (54) Giles and her colleagues.
"Of
course, that is not to say that social networks (55) children and
other relatives are not important in many other ways," Giles said.
Study
after study has shown that elderly people who (56) connected with
lots of people tend to live longer lives. (57), few studies have
examined whether different types of relationships - with friends,
partners, children and (58) relatives - have different effects on
longevity (长寿).
Giles's team set out to examine the relationship
between various types of social networks and (59) in a group of
almost 1,500 Australians who were at least 70 years (60).
Volunteers answered (61) about their social networks and then were
followed for 10 years.
The researchers took into account
several factors that could have influenced how long a person lived,
(62) sex, age, health and smoking status.
What the study
showed was (63) older people who reported better social networks of
friends were (64) likely to be alive at the end of the study than
people with fewer friends.
But relationships with children and other relatives did not have (65) effect on survival in the study.
