　　Health Cars 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 (遭遺漏). 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 (保險單) 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.

　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned

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

　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned

　　20　All international students in the US have to buy health insurance.

　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned

　　21　The international students in the US work harder than the American students.

　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned

　　22　The health care system in the US takes care of everyone in the country.

　　A　Right B　Wrong C　Not mentioned

　　ZYBAN Tablets(藥片)

　　1　ZYBAN is a prescription (處方) 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 (脫癮過程中產(chǎn)生的癥狀) and the strong wish to smoke.

　　Happy Therapy (診療)

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

　　Active in Old Age Keeps People Mobile

　　People over 70 who aren't active are more likely to develop problems walking or climbing stairs within a few years, according to a new study.

　　These findings suggest that it's very important to stay _____(51) in old age, study author Dr. Marjolein Visser told Reuters Health.

　　"Physical activity in old age is as important _____(52) taking your medications(藥物)," Visser noted. "You do not need to join an expensive, fancy sports club with high-tech (高科技的) equipment. Your body will already _____(53) from regular walking."

　　Visser, a Dutch (荷蘭的) scholar, explained that _____(54) active helps prevent people from becoming breathless during simple activities, increase muscle mass and strength, and maintain the balance people need to walk up stairs, for instance.

　　To investigate how important exercise is to older adults, Visser's team interviewed 3,075 men and _____(55) between the ages of 70 and 79, all of whom said they had no problems walking one-quarter of a mile or climbing _____(56). The investigators followed the subjects for 4-1/2 years, noting who developed problems _____(57) and climbing stairs.

　　During the study, 34 percent of men and 47 _____(58) of women said they began to struggle with walking and climbing stairs. People _____(59) were inactive were twice as likely to report these problems as people who said they got regular exercise.

　　People who didn't exercise but had active lifestyles appeared to be at a somewhat higher risk of developing _____(60) walking and climbing stairs, relative to people who exercised _____(61). Still, leading an active lifestyle appeared to protect people _____(62) problems better than being generally inactive, the researchers report in the Journal of the American Geriatrics (老年醫(yī)學(xué)) Society.

　　Among people who were inactive, _____(63) who walked even a little bit such as brisk (輕快的) walking for a little over an hour per week - were at a lower _____(64) of mobility (可動性) problems.

　　"If you do not like to exercise or you cannot exercise _____(65) of serious health problems or functional limitations, do try to be as active as possible, " Visser advised.

　　51 A young B new C still D active

　　52 A than B so C as D to

　　53 A suffer B benefit C result D start

　　36 D double taxation按第二段第一句所說，指由公司付的企業(yè)所得稅，以及由每個股東在公司分配了紅利后所付的個人所得稅。C是錯誤答案，因為回答不夠全面。

　　37 A 答案在第二段的第五句：購進六個月后售出的股票增值所得款被認為是資本收入。該段的最后兩句對capital gain這一概念做進一步說明。

　　38 C 作者認為，許多工商業(yè)者的抱怨不無正當理由，因為，過高的企業(yè)所得稅妨礙了他們再投資的機會，進而阻止了公司的發(fā)展和現(xiàn)代化。A和B是錯誤選擇，因為，雖然美國的企業(yè)所得稅較高，但是它仍屬發(fā)達國和工業(yè)國。

　　39 B progressive是一詞多意，它有new and modern之意，也有developing gradually之意，但在本文中意為：累進的。

　　40 C 文章的最后幾句說，這種稅往往落在極具競爭力的工商企業(yè)股東身上，因為如轉(zhuǎn)向顧客征稅，將使價格上浮，銷售量下降。因此，只有C是正確答案。原文中cut down的意思是：削減。

　　41 C pick-me-up指提神飲料，也就是一種刺激物，在這篇文章里具體指咖啡。所以，答案應(yīng)選C。

　　42 C 第二段的第三個句子談到，“控制我們睡眠的是神經(jīng)激素”，而這一段的最后一個句子告訴我們“含咖啡因咖啡能使這種睡眠激素減半”。這正是咖啡因影響睡眠的原理。

　　43 A 第三段涉及的是一個實驗，這個實驗的目的是測試含咖啡因咖啡和脫咖啡因咖啡對睡眠的影響，該段主要談?wù)摰氖沁@個實驗的結(jié)果。

　　44 D 第四段是第三段實驗的繼續(xù)，是該實驗的第二個階段。研究人員通過對志愿者的尿進行化驗發(fā)現(xiàn)，咖啡因攝入者體內(nèi)的褪黑激素僅為非咖啡因攝人者的一半。褪黑激素就是睡眠激素，所以答案應(yīng)該選D。

　　45 B 文章的結(jié)尾談到，“Ohayon建議愛喝咖啡的人午飯后應(yīng)該換喝脫咖啡因咖啡”。另外，整個文章都在探討咖啡因影響睡眠的機理，所以，作者大概會同意“晚飯后不應(yīng)該喝咖啡”的說法。選項A是一個全稱判斷，這等于說“所有喜歡喝嚦嚦的人都比不喝咖啡的人睡覺少”。這不一定，因為如果咖啡適量，喝咖啡的時間適當，咖啡不會影響睡眠。所以，作者可能不會同意這種說法。根據(jù)文章第二段第二個句子，選項C是錯的。根據(jù)文章第二段的第一個句子，我們體內(nèi)褪黑激素(睡眠激素)的深度在我們上床時間前兩個小時開始上升，而這個時候我們會開始有困意。反過來說就是，人們并非一有困意就睡覺。所以，選項D不是答案。
