Too Many Cars
Everyone agrees that there are simply too many cars on the read but who will be the first to stop using theirs Although everyone hates being stuck in traffic, no-one sees their cars as part of the growing problem. However, with traffic growth of up to 84 per cent expected by 2031 and the ever-increasing cost of accidents and delays already at ＄160bn in Europe, there is a growing need to change our ’car culture’ and develop alternative forms of transport as quickly as possible.
One answer is to make cars more expansive by increasing taxes on patrol. However, tax increases will affect the people who live in the country more than city drivers and do little to reduce inner city traffic. The Government is also looking at pay-as-you-drive schemes on motorways but this will push cars on to smaller ’free’ roads, which will make the problem worse.
A successful transport policy is not just a question of making the car tee expensive but of offering car drivers a real alternative. Many motorists dislike driving to work but say public transport services are too slew, offer poor quality and are far too expansive. If new transport policies are to succeed, public transport needs to be quick, reliable and affordable.
Transport planners are also developing ways of managing the existing road network more efficiently. New technology such as smart cards and electronic monitoring of roads will lead to a more efficient use of transport systems. However, technology will not reduce the number of cars on the road or solve the real problem of how to persuade car drivers to leave their beloved cars at home more often.
Cars are the only form of transport that has grown since 1985.（ ）

The guests had arrived, and the wine was warm. Once
again, I’d forgotten to refrigerate it. "Don’t worry." a friend said, "I can
chill it for you right away."
Five minutes later she emerged
from the kitchen with the wine perfectly cooled. Asked to reveal her secret, she
said, "Easy. I poured the wine in a plastic bag and then dipped it in ice water.
After a few minutes the wine was cold. The hard part was getting it back into
bottle. I couldn’t find a funnel (漏斗), so I made a cone with wax
paper."

[填空题]The author basically agrees that social lies are acceptable and necessary.
[单项选择]Almost everyone agrees that America’s health-care system has the incentives all wrong. Under the present system, doctors and hospitals get paid for doing more, even if added tests, operations and procedures have little chance of improving patients’ health. So what happens when someone proposes that we alter the incentives to reward better care, not more care Well, Rep. Paul Ryan and Republicans found out. No surprise: Democrats slammed them for "ending Medicare as we know it. "
This predictably partisan reaction preying upon the anxieties of retirees—must depress anyone who cares about the country’s future. It is only a slight exaggeration to say that unless we end Medicare "as we know it," America "as we know it" will end. Spiraling health spending is the crux of our federal budget problem. In 1965—the year Congress created Medicare and Medicaid—health spending was 2.6 percent of the budget. In 2010, it was 26.5 percent. The Obama administration estimates it will be 30.3 percent
