_a. its managed by the central government.b. its cost is mainly paid for by the national insurance contributions.c. it hires more people than any other unit in europe.d. fewer patients go to its hospitals than before because they spend less on health care.68. all the following statements about gps are true except that they _.a. take care of the local peoples healthb. often take part in competitions to see who is the bestc. work under high pressure nowadaysd. have more responsibilities than before69. what does the underlined word exempt probably mean?_a. sufferingb. different c. preventedd. free70. the biggest problem for the nhs is _.a. many hospitals are too old to be usedb. some services are in the charge of individualsc. more and more patients go to gps for treatmentd. there is not enough money for further reformddo you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self respect? the collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as honor help you create this life of good feelingsheres an example to show how honorable actions create happinesssay a store clerk fails to charge us for an itemif we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitementlater we might tell our family or friends about our good fortuneon the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honestywe would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soulthen, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?in the first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happendeep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thiefin the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respectwe would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted, since w
