Most people would be impressed by the
high quality of medicine available to most Americans. There is a lot of
specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of
advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of
the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they
handle things badly.
But the Americans are in a mess. The
problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to
public belief, it is not just a free competition system. To the private system
has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not
looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.

[单项选择] Passage Four
Most people would agree that, although
our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding
increase in wisdom. But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define
"wisdom" and consider means of promoting it. There are several factors that
contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the
capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach
to each its due weight.
This has become more difficult than it
used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required
of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in
research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb
the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your
discoveries or inventions may have ou
A. how much more wisdom we have now than before
B. what wisdom is and how to develop it
C. if there is a great increase of wisdom in our age
D. whether wisdom can be developed or not

Young people in the United States have
a wide variety of inte-rests apart from their school work. As children, both
boys and girls play many of the same games. They swim, play baseball and
basketball, go boating and camping, and have fun in many kinds of sports and
outdoor activities.
Numerous youth organizations give young
people a chance to develop and broaden their interests, and to gain experience
in working with others. Among these groups are the Boy Scouts, which serves more
than four million boys, the Girl Scouts, with nearly three million girls, and
the Boys’ Club of America, with over one million participants. These and other
groups are guided by adults who volunteer their services. Civic, cultural and
religious groups also sponsor special programs for young people.

Passage Three
Some people are accustomed to think that facts must either be believed or they must be disbelieved—as if belief were like a light switch with only two positions, on or off. My use of the bathtub hoax is intended to illustrate that belief does not have to operate as a simple yes or no choice, all or nothing. Belief can be more conditional; it can be something that we decide to have "up to a point" or "to a degree". And so, the question we might ask ourselves while reading does not have to be "Should I believe it or not" but instead can be "How much should I believe it" This latter question implies that the belief we have in any given fact, or in any given idea, is not determined by whether it sounds right or whether the source is an authority. It means that our beliefs are determined by the reasons that justify them. Belief is not a mechanical action, brought about by invariable rules of nature. It is a hu
A. Should I agree with the author
B. To what extent should I believe it
C. Why should I consent to it
D. What makes it sound and reasonable
