Despite the different language, traveling across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas(签证) from the two countries. You also needed a calculator(计算器) because both countries had different money.
Today, with a Schengen Visa issued(签发)by any member countries, you Can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid (有效的) in the other countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere.
All the countries in the continent are melting(融于) into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors the result is that it is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries.

Family and Health Care
"Chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer, have replaced acute infectious illness as the leading causes of death in the United States," says Thomas L. Campbell, a physician specializing in family related medicine. Since most of these diseases cannot be cured, Campbell believes more emphasis must be placed on health promotion and disease prevention.
The way to do this is through the family, Campbell says in a report published by the National Council on Family Relations. "The family has a powerful influence on health beliefs and behaviors because it is the primary social agent in the promotion of health and well-being. Preventive health-care programs and policies must focus on the family and use it as an important resource in health promotion."
Campbell points to a number of observable connections between health and family:
The family is the primary setting in which attitudes and behaviors regarding diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use are learned and maintained.
Unhealthy behaviors and genetic risk factors for diseases are frequently found within families, as family members tend to share not only genes, but diets, physical activities, and alcohol and tobacco use.
Chronic marital (婚姻的) distress and conflict can lead to acute and chronic health changes, such as rising blood pressure and heart rate and lowering immunity (免疫力) of cells. These physiological (生理上的) changes result in a wide range of diseases, especially heart disease and cancer.
Campbell believes that a number of measures be made within the health-care system to accommodate the influence of the family. For example, health education and preventive care should be targeted toward families as well as individuals and communities. Also, when a risk factor for a disease or condition is identified in one family member, all other family members should be tested.
Campbell also recommends that mental-health care be included in wellness programs and suggests that family professionals (therapists, sociologists, and family-life educators) become more actively involved in health promotion.
Campbell believes people should pay more attention to health promotion and disease prevention because most of these diseases
A.can hardly be cured.
B.can be cured gradually.
C.can cause many deaths.
D.can be cured only by specialists.

&8226;Look at the statements below and the 5 passages about the European Monetary System.
&8226;Which passage (A, B, C, D or E) does each statement 1-8 refer to?
&8226;For each statement 1--8, mark one letter (A, B, C, D or E) on your Answer Sheet.
&8226;You will need to use some of these letters more than once.
A
The European Monetary System (EMS) has, since its inception in 1979, provided a fascinating example of policy coordination in practice. As concern about exchange-rate instability and global economic imbalances has grown, both academic researchers and policymakers have looked to the EMS for lessons about cooperation on a wider scale. European Monetary System, arrangement by which most nations of the European Union (EU) linked their currencies to prevent large fluctuations relative to one another, was organized in 1979. to stabilize foreign exchange and counter inflation among members.
B
Periodic adjustments raised the values of strong currencies and lowered those of weaker ones, but after 1986 changes in national interest rates were used to keep the currencies within a narrow range. In the early 1990s the European Monetary System was strained by the differing economic policies and conditions of its members, especially the reunified Germany, and Britain permanently withdrew from the system. In 1994 the European Monetary Institute was created as transitional step in establishing the European Central Bank (ECB) and a common currency.
C
The ECB, which was established in 1998, is responsible for setting a single monetary policy and interest rate for the adopting nations, in conjunction with their national central banks.
Later in 1998, Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain cut their interest rates to a nearly uniformly low level in an effort to promote growth and to prepare the way for a unified currency. At the beginning of 1999, the same EU members adopted a single currency, the euro, for foreign exchange and electronic payments.
D
The introduction of the euro (worth about $1.17 at its inception) four decades after the beginnings of the European Union was widely regarded as a major step toward European political unity. By creating a common economic policy, the nations acted to put a damper on excessive public spending, reduce debt, and make a strong attempt at taming inflation. The European Currency Unit (ECU), which was established in 1979, was the forerunner of the euro. Derived from a basket of varying amounts of the currencies of the EU nations, the ECU was a unit of accounting used to determine exchange rates among the national currencies.
E
Of the European Union members not adopting the euro (Denmark, Great Britain, and Sweden), perhaps the most notable is Britain, which continues to regard itself as more or less separate from Europe. Nonetheless, British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced plans to consider adopting the euro sometime in 2002-5. In all three nations there was strong public anxiety that dropping their respective national currencies would give up too much independence. Euro coins and notes were introduced into circulation in January, 2002, and local currencies were removed from circulation by July of that year.
Some member nations' specific strategy in economy made the System under pressure.
