28、ic Part A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 As the costs of health care continue to rise, employers will ask their employees to pay more for their benefits by the year 2 000. This forecast c

29、omes from a recent survey of 400 executives conducted by the group Insurance Division of Northwestern National Life Insurance Company ( NWNL). A similar NWNL survey in 1986 found that two-thirds of the employers were planning to add benefits. Now, two-thirds are planning to offer fewer choices. Fact

30、ors cited as driving up the cost of health care include hospital and doctor fees, new medical technology, and malpractice suits. Employers also face the expensive prospect of providing health care for the growing number of retirees. Says the employee benefit director of a Boston communication compan

31、y, “With people living longer, and being sicker when older, we could be paying a big sum of money for 30 to 40 years after they retire.“ Compulsory benefits are also likely to increase health-care costs to employers. A majority of the respondents predict that the federal government will demand benef

32、its for all employees. More than one fourth of the employers surveyed think it is very likely that the government will establish a national plan by the year 2000, and a similar number foresee regulation of doctor and hospital fees. However, a large majority doubt such measures are very likely to be

33、effective in controlling health-care costs. Besides holding employees, responsible for a larger share of their benefit costs, more employers will offer flexible benefit plans with limited employer contributions. Health-education programs will grow in the workplace, as employers try to lessen the nee

34、d for expensive medical care. Other employers intent on cutting costs will design their benefit plans to allow their employees fewer choices in when and how they get medical care. Although the survey results reflect uncertainty about the future, they also offer reason for optimism, says U. S. Senato

35、r David Durenberger of Minnesota, “People are starting to come to grips with the question of how we can more effectively provide quality health care that is affordable and accessible,“ he asserts, “We no longer can write blank checks.“ 46 A recent survey conducted by NWNL found that _. （ A） new medi

38、ey will employ fewer employees. （ C） They will ask their employees to pay most of the cost. （ D） They will depend on the regulation of doctor and hospital fees. 49 The phrase “come to grips with“ in the last paragraph most probably means _. （ A） to understand completely （ B） to deal seriously with （

40、he past 50 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you re “hot“. That s true.

41、The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as, “Get up, John Yo

42、n 11 be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can t change your en

43、ergy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning bu

44、t you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won t change your cycle, but you 11 get upstream and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute bef

45、ore putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours. 51 If a person finds getting up early a problem, m
