Health care is regarded as an important way to improve the health and well-being of people around the world. In many countries of the world, free health care is provided by the government. 1.

Clearly, we all have to pay for this service through our taxes.

2. They say that people who take unnecessary risks should not receive this free health care. For example, people who join in risky activities such as skiing are more likely to have an accident. It has been suggested that these people should pay for any medical treatment they require.

3. Firstly, it’s difficult to say exactly what is risky and what is not. For example, not doing enough exercise is probably more risky than skiing in the long run. As a result, it isn’t fair to give free health care to an inactive person and make the skier pay. 4. Clearly, these people should receive free medical treatment if they are hurt on the job.

Finally, I would like to say that I think free health care is a good thing. I understand that the system is not perfectly fair because some people use it more than others. Besides, not all the medical treatment is really necessary for the health of the patient. The taxpayer should not have to pay the costs of such treatment. 5.

A. It helps you make money.

B. Personally, I disagree with this point of view.

C. However, some people think this is basically unjust.

D. This means that everybody has a chance to see a doctor.

E. Free health care will decrease the economy of the country.

F. Besides, fire fighters take risks, but they are necessary risks.

G. However, in my opinion, this is a small price to pay for a healthier society.

Researchers Look Behind the Tears to Study Crying

Many people found themselves unusually moved by the historic presidential inauguration(就职演说)last week in Washington Watching the huge crowds，we saw laughter，cheers，hugs-but also many tears

It made us wonder,why dopeople cry?Surely tears must be good for us—away to calm the mind and cleanse the body．Yet studies show that crying sometimes makes people feel worse．

Three researchers in Florida and the Netherlands recently looked more deeply into the subject． They examined detailed descriptions ofcrying experiences．Psychologist Jonathan Rottenberg at the University of South Florida says they wanted to study crying as it happens in everyday life，not in a laboratory．

The team analyzed information from the Intemational Study on Adult Crying．As part of that study，three thousand people in different countries，mostly college students，wrote about recent crying experiences．They noted causes，surroundings and any people involved in the event．They also reported how they felt after they cried．

Professor Roaenberg says the research showed that all crying experiences are not created equal. Crying does not always make a person feel better，he says．About ten percent of people reported feeling worse after they cried．

But a third felt better after crying．And a majority reported the experience as helpful．

The research showed that people who cry alone may not do as well as those with others around． People who reached out for emotional support at the time-and received it-reported better results from the crying experience．

But Professor Rottenberg says those who felt shame or embarrassment while crying were less likely to report that crying had been helpful．

Research has shown that women cry more of ten and more intensely than men．But it may not be to better effect，says the psychologist．The new findings，he says，did not show that a person’s sex was an advantage of beneficial crying．In other words，just because women cry more does not mean they are more likely to have a“good”cry．

The paper entitled”Is Crying Beneficial?”appeared in December in Current Directions in Psychological Scieflce And there is more to learn．Jonathan Rottenberg says the science ofcrying is still in its infancy．

57·Why did the author mention the presidential inauguration in Washington in the first paragraph?

A．Because he was impressed by the laughter,cheers，hugs and tears．

B．Because he wanted to introduce the topic about crying．

C．Because he wanted to show people’s dissatisfaction with the result．

D．Because it was the historic moment that many people cried

58．How did the researchers carry out the research?

A．They studied crying experiences not only in everyday life but also in labs．

B．They collected the crying experiences of the students at the colleges．

C They studied the crying experiences of grown-ups from various countries．

D．They noted their own crying experiencesand compared with others．

59．We can learn from the passage that_______．

A．it may be better to cry alone than with others around

B．some support from others may make crying helpful

C．women who cry more of ten may have better effects than men

D．the effects will be better if you feel shy while crying

60．The underlined phrase in the last paragraph probably means_______．

A．in the early stage   B．in a secret state   C．in the first place    D in good condition

Those who plan to film a hostage （人质） scene might want to make it obvious to everyone around them that it' s a simulation．That may be the lesson that an independent film crew learned in Larimer County, Colo．after sheriff s deputies （治安警察） surrounded them during a shoot for a low -budget feature movie．Members of the crew were at a campground near Lake Carter, shooting a scene where the lead actor takes a girl hostage and beats up on a man who tries to intervene （干涉）．"It happened very suddenly after that．We heard, 'freeze' " said Director Eileen Agosta．They were in the middle of the scene when a team of Larimer County sheriff s deputies ran over, shouting orders to get on the ground, pointing guns at the crew, actor Chris Borden said．Members of the crew were cuffed （戴上手铐） and held on the ground until the situation was sorted out．Borden said he believes the only reason the deputies didn't shoot him was because they saw a cameraman．Maj．Justin Smith of the Larimer County Sheriff s Department said deputies received a call from someone at the lake and sheriff s deputies raced to the park, blocking roads．"I think it shows great self - control, great training and great judgment " said Cpl, Scott Shellhaas, a sheriff s spokesman．"They didn't rush into the situation and make a potentially bad situation worse．"Borden said the incident would have been funny except for the fact that he was issued a citation （传票） for disorderly conduct．Agosta was also cited for being an accessory to disorderly conduct．"It was complete ignorance on my part," said Agosta．"I honestly thought you could tell what we were doing… I wouldn' t have chosen a state park at 3 : 30 （p．m．） on Saturday if I was going to hurt somebody．" Authorities said the scene they saw was realistic enough - - - a woman handcuffed to a car, a man handgun - striking another man, people injured and bloodied and someone with a small video camera filming the event．"It is certainly not beyond belief these days that individuals do videotape crimes as they commit them," said Smith．"Having a video camera there did not necessarily mean there was not a threat．"

1.The underlined word probably means something that is ______．

A．not real                                       B．really interesting

C．simply terrible                                  D．seemingly true

C．it was very surprising that the film crew shot such a bloody scene at the park

D．it' s not the sheriff s deputies but the film crew that was to blame for the incident

The stories we share with one another are important.They show wisdom and provide inspiration.They are important to our development.But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Considering the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news，people are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told.Bobette Buster said it like this，“The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle.When they are finally uncorked，their power to destroy is set free.”

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story：they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves：the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside.And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important：It proves we are trustworthy.It displays we are human.We are not perfect or better.It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development.Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely.But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not.There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

1.What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A．It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.

B．It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

C．It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

D．It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.

A．story­sharing highlights the importance of hard work

B．people are used to exposing their weaknesses

C．people so metimes have no courage to share their stories

D．some stories make themselves feel uneasy

3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?

A．Freed. 　　　　　　　　　 B．Broken.

C．Unfolded. 　　　　　　　 D．Untouched.

4.The writer aims to convince us to ________.

A．be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

B．share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

C．remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D．realize the importance of being honest when making

friends
