三.听短文回答问题

今天我们要听的文章说到美国的医学成就和医药保险. 比方美国很多私人公 司为员工设立了保健计划; 一般人也可以按月交保费给保险公司, 有大病的 时候医药费用由保险公司来负责.另外还有一些大的医疗机构 办的健康保险, 会员也是按月交保费, 有重病的时候就在医疗机构附设的医院治疗, 费用由 医疗机构负责. 至于年老贫困的人, 政府也有医药照顾计划.

现在请你注意听.

Americans are proud of the medical achievements made in this country. Medical scientists have found cures and prevention for such diseases as polio and tuberculosis. They have learned a great deal about cancer and heart disease. Many lives have been saved.

American hospitals are the most modern and best equiped medical facilities in the world.

But this degree of excellence has been expensive. Medical costs in the United States are very high. There is no national health plan for Americans. But there are many programs available for this purpose. Many people have health plans at the companies where they work. Under these plans, the company pays a fixed sum of money regularly into a fund.

Then when the employee needs medical help,he can use money from the fund to pay for it.

Other people have health insurance. They pay insurance premiums each month to insurance companies which then pay for medical expenses when they are needed.

In some medical plans, the insurance company is also the medical institution. People regularly pay the hospital directly. Then when they need medical treatment, they go to the hospital without paying more money.

The government has health insurance programs for older people, poor people and those with long term illness. These programs make medical care available to those without their own health insurance.

刚才那篇文章你都听懂了吗? 如果没有, 等一会儿你还有机会听. 现在老师先 把今天测验的三个问题念一遍.

第一个问题是:

M: What have American medical scientists done?

第二个问题是:

M: How do Americans pay for health costs?

第三个问题是:

M: Who are helped by government health insurance programs?
