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 r,o 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.
第 16 题 In the US, a person's company buys him or her health insurance.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

Predicting Volcanic Explosions
American scientists are studying Mount St．Helens volcano in the northwestern United States to learn when it might explode again．Their studies have improved methods for predicting volcanic explosions long before they happen.
Mount St．Helens exploded twice in May, 1980．These two powerful explosions
caused deaths and injuries and much property damage．Scientists did not know that the volcano would explode, so no warnings were given．But after the eruptions, scientists began studying changes in the earth's activity to improve prediction methods．In the following months, there were 13 smaller explosions at Mount St．Helens．Each time, scientists knew the volcano would erupt, so they were ahle to warn people living near Mount St．Helens to leave.
Scientists sharpened their prediction (预言) skills by studying the link between volcanoes and earthquakes．To do this, they placed a numher of devices within 20 kilometers of Mount St．Helens to measure deep earthquakes in the area．They also measured shallow quakes less than 3 kilometers below the crater (火山口 ), the huge hole at the top of the volcano．The scientists found that these shallow quakes increase in the days and weeks before an explosion．During this same period, melted rock and gas from deep inside the earth
build up under the volcano's dome, the small hill in the center of the crater..These causes the sides of the dome to push out．As the dome expands, cracks form. on the crater floor around it．Scientists found that the dome begins to expand 3 to 4 weeks before the volcano explodes, and the cracks on the crater floor widen．Because of their studies, scientists were able to predict 13 smaller explosions at Mount St．Helens several weeks before they happened．Sometimes they even knew the hours of the day when the volcano would explode.
American scientists admitted that several problems remain in their prediction methods．For example, they said their methods have not shown how strong an eruption will be, or how long it will last．But the scientists said that continuing eruptions of Mount St．Helens are .helping them improve their methods．And they said the methods can be used to predict when other volcanoes will explode.
第 31 题 Since the 1980's, how many eruptions have happened in Mount St．Helens？
A．13
B．4
C．15
D．2

When might you need to give blood for a personality (个性) test？ The answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job.
Some people believe that your blood group hides no secrets. It shows the" real you". And the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at certain tasks. This is the very reason why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job.
The new idea was carried out first in Japan and now it had been brought over to other parts of the world. One important business company in Japan is quite special about its needs: "For our office members, we must have 30 percent of group A and 15 percent of AB, 25 percent of O and 30 percent of B.
Do you happen to know your own blood groups？ It seems that if you belong to blood group O, you can get things done and sell the goods well. Blood group A are the thinkers, while blood group B are highly creative (创造力的). And if you have problems, ask the ABs to solve them. So if you visited the Japanese company, you would find the O types out selling goods and A types keeping orders in the office.
According to the passage, ________.
A．four types of the blood were discovered by Japan
B．people of good blood might do their work very well
C．knowing your own blood group you could get a good idea
D．more and more countries accepted the new idea about blood group
第10题
Psychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform. to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classie experiment, people were showna vertical line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three.
You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform. it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up,where two of the people were confederates(同伙 )of the experimenter.When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers,people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least o ne wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.
But why do people conform. in this way？ In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform. because they lose onfidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.
A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street？It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone.When other people are also around,a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman' s assistance.
25. In Paragraph 1, the underlined word "conform" probably means“ ()”.
A.seek independence
B.disobey orders
C.seek pleasure
D.follow what others do
26.What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2？ To().
A.explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of others
B.prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of others
C.train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-minded
D.describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others
27.In the last paragraph, according to the author,why wouldn’t one help the woman ？He().
A.thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand
B.thinks he has has nothing to do with it
C.is too shy to give his helping hand
D.thinks someone else will offer assistance
28.What method does the author mainly use to develop the text？ (
A.Giving examples.
