LESSON seven

Health

1. M: I thought the librarian said we could check out as many books as we need with our library card.

W: That's right, but not those reference books.

Q: What does the woman mean?

2. M: I'm really exhausted, but I don't want to miss the film that comes on at eleven.

W: If I were you, I would skip it. We both have to get up early tomorrow and anyway, I've heard it isn't that exciting.

Q: What does the woman mean?

3.M: I ran into our friend Mark yesterday on the street and he said he hadn't heard from you for a month.

W: Yes, I know. But I've been too busy to phone him.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

4. M: Mary is in charge of the art and music section and Carol's the sports page. What about you?

W: I'm responsible for the editorials.

Q: Where does the woman work?

5. M: I don't know whether to ask Joe or Carol to draw the posters. W: What difference does it make? They are both excellent artists. Q: What does the woman imply about Joe and Carol?

6. M: I wish I didn't have to make a special trip to the post office to get my package.

W: Well, if you call them in the morning, they'll give the package to your mail carrier to bring out to you.

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

7.M: Hey, George, I can't get to sleep with the light so near my bed. Can't you study someplace else?

M: Sorry, there's a party going on down in the lounge.

Q: What will George probably do?

8. M: Hey, that's a great sweater you're wearing. It looks really warm. W: Yeah, but I wish I bought a coat like you did. It's really cold today.

9. M: Tom's house is a mess. Doesn't he ever clean it?

W: I guess he just has too much else on his mind with that new job of his.

Q: What does the woman imply about Tom?

10. M: You must be looking forward to your trip back to Colorado. It should be fun to hike up into those mountains again.

W: Well, there may not be time for that. The thing is I haven't seen my sister and her kids for 3 years.

Q: What does the woman imply?

11. W: I forgot to tell you that Fred called last night to borrow your sleeping bag.

M: Oh, I saw him at the gym this morning, and he didn't say anything. So, he must have asked somebody else.

Q: What does the man imply?

12. M: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the post office? W: Your guess is as good as mine. I'm new around here.

15. W: I need to go across town, but the traffic is so heavy at this time of the day.

M: When you take the subway, you don't have to deal with traffic. I never drive anymore.

Q: What does the man imply?

Passage I:

The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of

献给师弟师妹们

recovery from illness. As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most talented artists have been called on to transform older hospitals and to “soften the hard edges of modern buildings". Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

All these owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970's. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and a wider audience should enjoy that art.

A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patient waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that a team of six young art school graduates soon joined him.

The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards. The quality of the environment may reduce the need for

expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has

献给师弟师妹们

shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

1. What does the passage talk about?

2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

3. What is Peter Senior?

3. ( ) After the exhibition, Peter Senior became the teacher of 6 young art students.

4. ( ) The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs.

Passage II:

Tom: What can I do?

Doctor: You can start by taking your health more seriously than you

have been. I am going to give you a diet plan, and I want you to stick to it. Your heart sounds healthy when I listen to it, but I suspect all that extra weight you are carrying around is putting a burden on it. The diet will help you to lose weight and help to relieve some of the burden. It's a high fiber, low-cholesterol, low-salt diet. You'll get all the protein and minerals you need with it.

Tom: It's hard to stick to a diet with my busy schedule.

Doctor: Your health is more important than your business. The next step will be exercise, I know it's hard to find the time, but you can at least start walking more. If your office is on the third floor, stop taking the elevator up and down; walk the three flights instead. Walk around the block after dinner. Find ways to increase your physical activity every day. Join a swimming club. Swimming a few times a week is the best exercise you can get.

Tom: I joined a health club last year, but I quit because I never had time to go there

献给师弟师妹们

Doctor: Find the time. It's important. And for heaven's sake, stop smoking! Now, it's medically proved that it can cause cancer and a host of other things.

Tom: OK, I'll try again, but I am not promising. It's a difficult habit to break. What about my run-down feeling? Can you give me something for that problem? There must be some drug I can take.

Doctor: I'd rather not give you any drugs, but temporarily, I will give you a prescription for something that will help you sleep. When your diet and exercise program start to improve your health, though, I am going to take you off the medicine. Do you understand?

Tom: Yes, thanks a lot, Doctor. I appreciate what you're saying and doing.

In Britain there is a National Health Service (NHS) which is paid for by taxes and National Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his local area, known as general practitioner or GP. This means that his name is on the GP's list, and he may make an appointment with the doctor. People do sometimes have to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, he must first go to his GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a specialist at a hospital.

Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the National Health Service, it is also possible to have treatment done

献给师弟师妹们

privately, for which one has to pay. Some people have private health

insurance to help them pay for private treatment. Under the NHS, people who need to go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a long waiting list for their treatment. If they pay for the treatment, they will get it quickly.

Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service, The government does help pay for some medical care for people who are on low incomes and for the old, but most people buy insurance to help pay for medical care. Some people cannot afford insurance but are not poor enough to get government help. The cost of medical insurance and the problems of those who can not afford it are an important political subject. When people are ill, they usually go first to a general practitioner or internist. Unlike in Britain, however, people sometimes go straight to a specialist, without seeing their general practitioner first. As in Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, his general doctor will usually give him the name of one.

1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

2. What is the possible disadvantage of the NHS in Britain?

3. Under the NHS in Britain, what should a patient do first if he wants to see a specialist?

l. ( ) In Britain people never need to pay for the medical treatment?

2. ( ) GPs are trained in general medicine.

3. ( ) In Britain, a patient can get a quick treatment from a specialist if be pays for it.

4. ( ) The American government shows no concern for medical care.

5. ( ) Like in Britain, the American general doctor can also give the name of a specialist to a patient.
