　　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.

　　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 IB Wrong C Not mentioned

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

　　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.

　　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

You should set a date to stop smoking during the second week you're taking ZYBAN.

　　第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）

　　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.

　　第二篇 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.

　　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.
