In Germany the new chancellor, Angela Merkel, is under fire for suggesting changing the financing of its health system. Canada’s new Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, made a big fuss during the election about reducing the country’s lengthy medical queues. Across the rich world, affluence, ageing and advancing technology are driving up health spending faster than ine. But nowhere has a bigger health problem than America. Soaring medical bills are squeezing wages, swelling the ranks of the uninsured and pushing huge firms and perhaps even the government towards bankruptcy. Ford’s announcement this week that it would cut up to jobs by 2020 was as much a sign of it’s―legacy ‖ health –care costs as of the ills of the car industry. Pushed by polls that show health care is one of his main domestic problems and by forecasts showing that the retiring babyboomers (生育高峰期出生的人 ) will crush the government’s finances, Gee Bush is to unveil a reform。 plan in next week’s stateof –the –union address. America’s health system is unlike any other. The Unite States spends 16% of its GDP on health, around twice the richcountry average, equivalent to $6,280 for every American each year. Yet it is the only rich country that does not guarantee universal health coverage. Thanks to an accident of history, most Americans receive health insurance through their employer, with the government picking up the bill for the poor and the elderly. This curious hybrid（混合物） certainly has its strengths. Americans have more choice than anybody else, and their healthcare system is much more innovative. Europeans’ bills could be much higher if American medicine were not doing much of their Research and Development（ Ramp。 D） for them. But there are also huge weaknesses. The one most often cited—especially by foreigners—is the army of uninsured. Some 46 million Americans do not have cover. In many cases that is out of choice and ,if they fall seriously ill, hospitals have to treat them. But it is still deeply unequal. And there are also shocking inefficiencies: by some measures,30% of American health spending is wasted. Then there is the question of state support. Many Americans disapprove of the ―socialized medicine‖ of Canada and Europe. In fact, even if much of the administration is done privately, around 60% of America’s heathcare bill ends up being met by the government. Proportionately, the American state already spends as much on health as the OECD（ Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development） average, and that share is set to grow as the babyboomers run up their Medicare bills and ever more employers avoid providing healthcare coverage. America is , in effect, heading towards a version of socialized medicine by default. problems mentioned in the passage include all the following EXCEPT_________. A. poor hospital conditions in . B. Angela Merkel under attack C. health financing in Germany D. long waiting lines in Canada 5 ’s announcement of cutting up to 30,000 jobs by 2020 indicates that Ford_________. A. has the biggest health problem of the car industry B. has made profits from its healthcare legacy C. has accumulated too heavy a healthcare burden D. owes a great deal of debt to its employees the author’s opinion, America’s health system is _________. A. inefficient B. feasible C. unpopular D. successful is implied in the passage that_________. A. America’s health system has its strengths and weaknesses B. the US government pays medical bills for the poor and the elderly C. some 46 million Americans do not have medical insurance D. Europeans benefit a lot from America’s medical research the last paragraph we may learn that the ―socialized medicine‖ is____________. A. a practice of Canada and Europe B. a policy adopted by the US government C. intended for the retiring babyboomers D. administered by private enterprises Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: When Thomas Keller, one of America’s foremost chefs, announced that on Sept. I he would abolish the practice of tipping at Per Se. his luxury restaurant in New York City, and replace it with Europeanstyle service charge, I knew three groups would be opposed: customers, servers and restaurant owners. These three groups are all mitted to tipping——as they quickly made clear on Web sites. To oppose tipping , it seems, is to be anticapitalist , and maybe even a little French.. But Mr. Keller is right to move away from tipping—and it’s worth exploring why just about everyone else in the restaurant world is wrong to stick。
