there are four words or phrases marked a, b, c and d. fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. the health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. one of the least understood involves the 1 roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. in most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n) 2 buyer with various inducements (引诱) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. such condition, 3 , is not common in most of the health-care industry.in the health-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the 4 relationship between producer and consumer. once an individual has chosen to see a physicianand even then there may be no real choice it is the physician who usually makes all significant 5 decisions: whether the patient should return “next wednesday,” whether x-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. it is a rare and experienced patient who will 6 such decisions made by experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as 7 .this is particularly 8 in relation to hospital care. the physician must give evidence of the 9 for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. the patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctors judgments that are 10 . little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer.” as a consequence, the 11 represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.although usually there are in this situation four recognizable participants the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) the physician makes the 12 for all of them. the hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally 13 most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for the most part the patient plays a 14 role. we estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care 15 are determined by physicians, not patients. for this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective.1.a. peculiarb. normalc.

old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. i remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. one day, i found the source code for one of these games. without knowing or being taught any programming language, i was able to figure out some of the basic code. i just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so i could continue playing it forever. this was also my first introduction to algebra, and i didnt even know it at the time. this was a decisive moment in my life. i was quite excited because of what i was learning and what i was able to do. as a result, i was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and i was quite happy doing them too.ive noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. this enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. it also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. it may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet i know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. i know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. i know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too

teacherchildren are the hope of the futureyoung people are fearlesswhere theres a will, theres a waywhat is the secret of happiness in the authors opinion?success and wealth.gifts and self-confidence.enthusiasm and good health.knowledge and achievements.we can infer from the last paragraph that .rich people generally feel unhappywealth cant bring people any happinessone will feel

fortunately, its never too late to get the benefits of quitting. if youve tried to quit before and failed, its time to make up your mind and try again.smoking is responsible for one of every five deaths. that includes 29% of all cancer deaths, 87% of all lung cancer deaths, and nearly 20% of all deaths are from cardiovascular disease. but long before smoking kills you, it ages you. you can see that smoking accelerates the drying and wrinkling of the skin. but there are fewer obvious effects as well. indeed, smoking takes years away from your life. nearly half of all chronic smokers die an average of 20 to 25 years before their time.besides an early death from cancer or heart disease, smoking can cause lung disorders. people who smoke over a pack a day have almost three times the risk of contracting pneumonia (肺炎) than that of nonsmokers. by lowering levels of estrogen (雌性激素) in men and women, smoking speeds bone less. if a woman smokes a pack of cigarettes every day, she will enter menopause (更年期) with 5% to 10% less bone mass than a nonsmoker.the good news is that no matter what your age is or how long youve smoked, youll live longer if you quit today. the coronary artery surgery study examined nearly 2,000 longterm smokers over the age of 54. those who quit had significantly lower death rates six years later than those who didnt. even the oldest exsmokers had a higher survival rate. not only will you live longer if you quit, but youll feel better, breathe easier, and find that you have more energy. youll have fewer respiratory infections, headaches, and stomachaches. whats more, youll save money. your clothes and breath wont smell unpleasant any longer. and your habit wont annoy, or threaten the health of the people who live and work with you.1according to the passage, the percentage of deaths due to smoking is _.a20%b25% c29% d87%2all of the following methods are used in the passage except _.agiving examples bmentioning famous

enable teamwork in situations where people are not sitting in the same office at the same time._1_ this is particularly so for businesses that use virtual teams to build global presence, or need less common skills or knowledge from people who are unwilling to travel.virtual teams are governed by the same basic principles as traditional teams. _2_ it is the way the team members communicate. they rely on special communication channels enabled by modern technologies, such as emails, faxes, and teleconferences, and alike. due to more limited communication channels, the success of virtual teams is much more sensitive to the type of project the group works on, what people are selected, and how the team is managed._3_one challenging case is the projects that rely heavily on integrated work. that is to say, when each persons work depends significantly on what someone else is doing at the same moment, like in a sports team, there is an ongoing heavy exchange of information in real time, and the tasks have to go through a strict order within a short time.not everyone can perform well in a virtual team environment. _4_another important quality is communication skills. the team members must be able to communicate clearly and positively.managers of virtual teams need to pay much more attention to having clear goals，performance standards, and communication rules. people have various
