The health care system (医疗体系) of a country is...

The health care system (医疗体系) of a country is very important and different countries have different ways of paying for it.

Britain has a free health care system paid for by the government. It was the first country in the world to do so. Health care is free for everyone living in Britain. Most doctors and nurses work for the government and most hospitals are owned by the government. Until recently this system was very successful but lately there have been problems. The government has not put enough money into the health service. That’s why more people are using private health insurance (保险). They see doctors who work for themselves and pay the doctors through the health insurance company.

____3____ Most Americans have private health insurance. Doctors work for themselves and hospitals are privately owned. The health insurance company pays the doctors and the hospitals. The problem with this system is that poor people don’t have the money to pay for private health insurance. As a result, they often have both money and health problems.

Canada and New Zealand have a different system again. Health care is free. Doctors work privately and hospitals are privately owned. When you become ill, medical cost is paid for by the government.

Cats’ sense of smell is very important to their health. Many cat owners have seen a cat smell the food and refuses it. Careful sniffing tells the cat if something is safe to eat.

Cats have a pair of vomeronasal organs(犁鼻器) on the roof of the mouth. When the cat wants to sniff, she will breathe the air in through her mouth. At this moment, she will often squint(斜视) her eyes and maybe even flatten(使…平坦) her ears. This makes her look like she is making faces. The vomeronasal organs will then analyze the smell---almost as if the cat is tasting the smell.

When you come home from outside the house, your cat can smell what you had for lunch and for a mid-afternoon snack. She can smell the people you shook hands with and your neighbour you stopped to talk to and hug. She can smell the grass brought under your shoes as you took a shortcut across the lawn. Your cat’s sense of smell is so good that she can smell difference between a gallon of water with a teaspoon of salt in it and plain water. In comparison, we think of salt as completely tasteless.

Cats have scent glands(臭腺) on each side of the forehead, on the chin, the lips and next to the tail. When your cat rubs up against your hand, your leg, the sofa, and your bed, she is leaving her scent in those things. She will then use her sense of smell to recognize “her” things, people and even other pets in the home.

If you want to have fun with your cat’s sense of smell, take some small bits of different things, such as a bit of chicken, some flowers and some fish. Place each different scent under a piece of paper towel(so your cat cannot see any of them) and encourage your cat to investigate and find what kind of food she likes to eat best.

1.Cats know whether the food is fit to eat or not with their____________.

A. sense of touch　　　　 B. scent glands　　 C. organs of smell　　 D. sense of taste

2.The third paragraph was written mainly to prove that _____________.

A. cats are very smart　　　　　　　　　　　　

B. cats have a good sense as dogs

C. salty water has a special smell　　　　　　

D. cats’ sense of smell is excellent

3.What does your cat do when it rubs against your foot?

A. She puts her scent on it.　　　　　　　　　

B. She shows respect to you.

C. She asks you to play with her.　　　　　　

D. She smells where you were just now.

4.What does the word “investigate” mean in the last paragraph?

A. Smell.　　　　　 B. See.　　　　　　　　 C. Search.　　　　　　 D. Send.

5.The passage mainly tells us _________________.

A. cats are one of our best friends　　　　

B. cats have sharp sense of smell

C. sense of smell is very important　　　　

D. cats know if something is safe to eat

The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with this problem, it is reported that a big part of the government’s health budge（预算）has been used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.

Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt（破产）if the patients had taken ways for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet（均衡饮食）, such as not consuming too much animal fat and trying to have enough vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.

One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular（定期的）exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better.

In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people’s health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one’s family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.

However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.
