Passage One
Nursing at BethIsrael Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve thenursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do wellto follow Beth Israel’s example.
At Beth Israeleach patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with thepatient and－constructsa full－scale healthaccount that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state.Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient’s illness but which alsoincludes everything else that is necessary.
The primarynurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization keeping track with hisprogress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at BethIsrael is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon from his nurse topropose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has inthe primary nurse is a true colleague.
Nursing a BethIsrael also involves a decentralized nursing administration; every floor, everyunit is a self－containedorganization. There are nurse－managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medicalduties, they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, andthey make salary recommendations. Each unit’s nurses decide among themselves whowill work what shifts and when.
Beth Israel’snurse－in－chief ranks as an equal withother vice－presidentsof the hospital. She also is a member of the Medical Committee, which in mosthospitals includes only doctors.
36. Which of the following best characterizes the main feature ofthe nursing system at Beth Israel Hospital?

37. It can be inferred from the passagethat __________.
A. comparedwith other hospitals nurses at Beth Israel Hospital are more patient
B. in mosthospitals patient care is inadequate from the professional point of view
C. in mosthospitals nurses get low salaries

38. A primary nurse can propose a differentapproach of treatment when __________.

D. has fullresponsibility in the administration of the unit’s nurses
40. The author’s attitude towards the nursesystem at Beth Israel Hospital is __________.
A.negative
B.critical
C.neutral
D. positive
Passage Two
One of the mostdifficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expectthat a doctor’s salary will be higher than a bus conductor’s wages. But thequestion becomes much more difficult to answer when we compare, say, a minerwith an engineer, or an unskilled man working on an oilrig in the North Sea witha teacher in a secondary, school. What the doctor, the engineer and the teacherhave is many years of training in order to obtain the necessary qualificationsfor their professions. We feel instinctively that these skills and these years,when they were studying instead of earning money, should be rewarded. At thesame time we recognize that the work of the miner and the oilrig laborer is bothhard and dangerous, and that they must be highly paid for the risks they take.
Another factorwe must take into consideration is how socially useful a man’s work is,regardless of the talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that lookingafter the sick or teaching children is more important than, say, selling secondhand cars or improving the taste of toothpaste by adding a red stripe to it. Yetit is almost certain that the used－car salesman earns more than the nurse, and the research chemistearns more than the schoolteacher.
Indeed, thiswhole question of just rewards can be turned on its head. You can argue that aman who does a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receivingpart of his reward in the form of a so called “psychic wage”, and that it isthe man with the boring, repetitive job who needs more money to make up for thesoul destroying monotony of his work. It is significant that those jobs whichare traditionally regarded as “vocations”─nursing, teaching and the Church, for example—continue to be poorlypaid, while others, such as those in the world of sport or entertainment, carryfinancial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.
Although theamount of money that people earn is in reality largely determined by marketforces, this should not prevent us from seeking some way to decide what is theright pay for the job. A starting point for such an investigation would be totry to decide the ratio which ought to exist between the highest and the lowestpaid. The picture is made more complicated by two factors: firstly by the“social wage”, i.e. the welfare benefits which every citizen receives; and secondly,by the taxation system, which is often used as an instrument of social justiceby taxing high incomes at a very high rate indeed. Allowing for these two things,most countries now regard a ratio of 7:1 as socially acceptable. If it is less,the highly qualified people carrying heavy responsibilities becomedisillusioned, and might even end up by emigrating （the so called “brain drain” isevidence that this can happen）. If it is more, the gap between the rich and the poor will be so greatthat it will lead to social tensions and ultimately to violence.
41. The professional man, such as the doctor, should be well paidbecause ______.
A. he has spentseveral years learning how to do his job
B. his workinvolves much greater intelligence than, say, a bus conductor’s
C. he has towork much harder than most other people
D. he knowsmore than other people about his subject
42.The “brain drain” is evidence that ______.
A. well－educated people are prepared toemigrate whenever they can get a better－paid job
B. people withjobs of responsibility expect to be highly paid
C. hightaxation is a useful and effective instrument of social justice
D. the poor aregenerally more patriotic than the rich
43. As far as rewarding people for their work is concerned, thewriter believes that ______.
A. we shouldpay for socially useful work, regardless of the person’s talent
B. we shouldpay people according to their talents
C. marketforces will determine how much a person is paid
D. qualifiedpeople should be the highest paid
44. The argument of the “psychic wage” is used to explain why______.
A. people whodo socially important work are not always well paid
B. people whodo monotonous jobs are highly paid
C. you shouldnot try to compare the pay of different professions
D. someprofessional people are paid more than others
45. The writer says that in many countries the taxation system______.
A. providesencouragement to those who work hardest
B. makes therich provide the biggest share of the national income
C. reduces thedifference between high and low incomes
D. enables low－paid workers to keep most oftheir wages
Passage Three
No woman can betoo rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess （公爵夫人） of Windsor embodies muchof the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.
The problem withsuch a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself havefantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have beenon a diet for the better─or worse─part of my life. Being rich wouldn’t be bad either, but that won’thappen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leavingme millions of dollars.
Where did we gooff the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extraflesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days whenpeople refrain from eating, and excessive eating is one of Christianity’s sevendeadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem gettingenough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvationand high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well－being.
Today theopposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. Theresult is that being fat─or even only somewhat overweight─is bad because it implies a lack of moralstrength.
Our obsession （迷恋） with thinness is alsofueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country, we have moreoverweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweightcorrelates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. Thesediseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high－fat diets as with excessweight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be moreof a dietary problem─too much fat and a lack of fiber─than a weight problem.
The realconcern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exerciseenough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart andlung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoidmany diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simplybeing thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get （or already are） thin think they areautomatically healthy and thus flee from paying attention to their overall life－style. Thinness can be purevainglory（虚荣）.
46. In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that______.
A. religiouspeople are not necessarily virtuous
B. looking slimis a symbol of having a large fortune
C. being thinis viewed as a much desired quality
D. the Duchessof Windsor is regarded as a woman virtue
47.Swept by the prevailing trend, the author ______.
A. had to wearhighly fashionable clothes
B. had to seekhelp from rich distant relatives
C. had to go ona diet for the greater part of her life
D. could stillprevent herself from going off the track
48.In human history, people’s views on body weight ______.
A. changed fromtime to time
B. led todifferent moral standards
C. variedbetween the poor and the rich
D. were closelyrelated to their religious beliefs
49.The author criticizes women’s obsession with thinness ______.
A. from ahistorical and religious standpoint
B. fromsociological and medical points of view
C. from aneconomic and educational perspective
D. in the lightof moral principles
50. What’s the author’s advice to women who are absorbed in the ideaof thinness?
A. They shouldgain v－eight tolook healthy.
B. They shouldbe more watchful for fatal diseases.
C. They shouldbe more concerned with their overall lifestyle.
D. They shouldrid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes.
