1 World health will improve only if the people themselves become involved in planning,
implementing,and having a say about their own health and health care.But involvement
will not just happen.
2 How serious are we about involving individuals,families,and communities?Are we
prepared一mentally and professionally（专业上）一to listen to their concerns,to learn from
them what they feel is important,to share with them appropriate information,to encourage
and support them?In many cases,so far,the answer is"No".We can go on and on
developing plans:nothing will happen unless all health workers,all health managers,and
key professionals（专业人员）in other areas come to realize what is at stake. To overcome
these particular stumbling一blocks（障碍物）,I see three major requirements.
3 First,health workers must understand that the concept of primary health care involves
new roles for them , and a new outlook（观点）.Not only should we be concerned with
disease prevention and control,we must also be concerned with health promotion and care,
and not least with development in general一and with people.Our health technologies must
be based on what the people themselves want and need.
4 Second,health workers must accept their new roles.More yet:they must be keen to
try them out,to broaden their scope and to innovate（创新）in the partnership（合伙人、合
作关系）approach. Their main concern must be to find ways of helping individuals and
communities become self-dependent.
5 This brings me to my third point:health workers must have the necessary skills to
perform these new roles effectively and to make efficient use of existing knowledge.This
calls for a training force fully familiar with previous experience and keen to provide the kind
and quality of professional preparation needed.It also calls for full support from health
manaqers for such traininq.

Paragraph 3________
A:Acceptance of New Roles
B: Lack of Health Technologies
C: Urgent Need to Improve the Current Situation
D: Importance of Taking a New Outlook
E: Support of the People

Health Education

1 Health education is the part of health care that is concerned with promoting healthy behavior. A per-
son's behavior may be the main cause of a health problem,but it can also be the main solution.This is true
for the teenager who smokes, the mother with the poorly nourished（营养）child ,and the butcher（屠夫，卖肉
的人）who gets a cut on his finger. By changing their behavior these individuals can solve and prevent many
of their own problems.
2 Health education does not replace other health services,but it is needed to promote the proper use
of these services. One example of this is immunization（免疫）:scientists have made many vaccines（疫苗）
to prevent diseases,but this achievement is of no value unless people to go receive the immunization.
3 Health education encourages behavior that promotes health,prevents illness,cures disease,and
contributes to recovery.The needs and interests of individuals,families,groups,organizations,and commu-
nities are at the heart of health education programs.Thus there are many opportunities for practicing health
education.
4 Health education is not the same thing as health information.Correct information is certainly a basic
part of health education,but health education must also address the other factors that affect health behavior
such as availability（可获性）of resources,effectiveness of community leadership,social support from family
members.and levels of sell一help skills.Health education theretore uses a variety ot metnous to neip peopie
understand their own situations and choose actions that will improve their healta? tieaitn eciucation is incom-
plete unless it encourages involvement and choice by the people themselves.
5 Also,in health education we do not blame people it they do not behave in a neaitny way.Often un-
healthy behavior is not the fault of the individual.In health education we must work with families,communities,
and even regional and national authorities to make sure that resources and support are avaiianie to enable
each individual to lead a healthy life.

Health education cannot take the place of__________.
A:many vaccines
B:prevent diseases
C:health education
D:healthy behavior
E:change unhealthy behavior
F:other health services

Text 2 As lawmakers fight over what conditions insurance companies should be required to cover,other areas of health-care reform remain painfully neglected.One major example:How much should insurance companies pay for what they cover?Consumers rarely care about health-care prices beyond what they personally pay for deductibles,co-payments and prescription drugs.But insurance payments are crucial to understanding why health-care prices have gotten so out of control in the United States.A new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine makes this abundantly clear:Hospital emergency departments across the country are prone to excessively overcharge patients with private insurance,the study found,demanding that patients pay-on average-more than four times what Medicare pays for typical emergency procedures.This is not the heritage of sound medicine.This is the outcome of an extremely complicated and disjointed health-care system-and it's not necessarily the result of greedy hospitals trying to milk large profits out of vulnerable populations.Instead,it's the result of messy provider networks-rife with discounts and confusing contracts,designed by insurance companies and providers to attract customers.There are policy solutions to correct this system.Maryland,for example,has long operated under an"all-payer system"in which everyone pays the same rate for the same treatment-set by an independent state agency.Under this system,Medicare pays higher rates for care than in other states,but in the long run,it saves money-to the tune of$319 million-because the payment system incentivizes hospitals to reduce the number of people they admit.In other words,it encourages payment for quality of care,not quantity.Health-care providers have an incentive to work more closely with nursing facilities to deliver preventive care.Physicians also work more closely with patients to reduce preventable complications and hospital readmissions,which have dropped in Maryland faster than the national average in recent years.This innovative approach to solving price disparities in health-care costs is refreshing,although what works in Maryland might not work everywhere else.But other states have also passed laws to reduce price variation in health care,particularly for uninsured and low-income patients who would be most harmed by surprise medical bills.Unfortunately,reform efforts led by Republicans in Congress will likely worry the health-care industry enough to threaten state-led initiatives.Uncertainty-especially in terms of what our insurance markets will look like a year from now-makes it difficult,if not impossible,for states to experiment with different policies.That's a shame,because that's where the exciting and innovative reforms are happening.
Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Uncertainty in the Health-Care Industry
B."All-Payer System"in Maryland
C.The Health-Care Reform Ignored
D.Medicare vs.Private Insurance

U. S. States Do Poorly in Women's Health

Not a single U. S. state meets basic federal goals for women's health,and the nation
as a whole fails except in two areas一mammograms（乳腺X光照片）and dental（牙齿的）
check-ups一researchers said on Thursday.
Millions of women lack health insurance,and states make it difficult to enroll（加入）in
Medicaid,the state-federal health insurance plan for the poor,according to the report.
And few states are doing anywhere near enough to help women quit smoking一the
leading cause of death in the United States.
"The nation as a whole and the individual states fall short of meeting national goals,"
reads the report,put together by the National Women's Law Center and the Oregon
Health&Science University."These health goals provide a road map for assessing the
status of women's health."
Of 27 measures examined by the group,from screening for diseases to actually treating
them,the nation passes on only two,the researchers said."The nation is so far from the
health goals that it receives an overall grade of'unsatisfactory',"they wrote.
The problem seems to be a lack among states of an overall plan for health in general,
the NWLC said.
" State policy makers' piecemeal（一件一件做的）approach to our health care crisis has
resulted in a complex and ineffective system that fails to meet the health care needs of
women,"Judy Waxman,NWLC Vice President for Health,said in a statement.
"Lawmakers need to take a comprehensive,long-term approach to meeting women's
health needs and tackle this serious problem that troubles so many families."

The national goals for women's health make it easier to
A:meet women's health needs.
B:assess the status of women's health.
C:solve women's health problems.
D:deal with the health care crisis.

Report: Kilmer Health Care Center in Top 10%
According to a report that was recently published in Consumer Quarterly, the Kilmer Health Care Center at
University Village is ranked in the top 10 percent of all nursing homes in Ohio.
The Kilmer Health Care Center opened four years ago with 48 private rooms. Thirty-six of the rooms are for
assisted living, and twelve are for constant care. The Kilmer Health Care Center offers residents an array of services from housekeeping and meal delivery, to transportation and medical services.
Consumer Quarterly looked at three main factors to come up with the nursing home rankings. The first was
how the facility ranked in their state inspections. The second was the ratio of the number of care givers,
(including nurses and nurse's aides), to the number of residents. Finally, they looked at the services the facility offers and compared those to the current and future needs of the residents who live there.
Consumer Quarterly hopes the report encourages those facilities ranked in the lower 10% to review and
improve their operations.
How many rooms in Kilmer Health Care
Center are intended for assisted living?

A. 12

B. 36

C. 48

D. 66
