Getting good health insurance is a real necessity while you are studying overseas.There are often two different types of health insurance you can consider buying,international travel insurance and student insurance in the country where you will be going.
An international travel insurance policy is usually purchased in your home country before you go abroad.It generally covers a wide variety of medical services and you are often given a list of doctors in the area where you will travel who may even speak your native language.The disadvantage might be that you may not get your money back immediately.
On the other hand,getting student health insurance in the country where you will study might allow you to only pay a certain percentage of the medical cost at the time of the service,and thus you don't have to have enough cash to pay the entire bill at once.Whatever you decide,getting some form of health insurance is something you should consider before you go overseas.You schouldn't wait until you are sick and have a major medical bill to pay off.

M:Oh...uh...You know,I've got to see some friends this evening.
W:Oh...I see...Then you won't be coming,after all,then?
M:No,unless you could let me have the ticket for a bit less.Let's say three pounds.
W:But you said you had to meet some friends.

A
Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital,a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.
Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their speciallydecorated “careful huts”. They talked with them and gave
massages to patients kept in their beds.
“I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up,” said Deng Yetao, 20, a thirdyear student. “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”
“Even though they are suffering a lot, the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share.Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was gaining a valuable lesson,” said Mao Xiaohua, another third-year student.
The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases which will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy.
Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital. “For people at this stage of their lives, loneliness is even more dreadful than death itself,” said Li Wei,president of the hospital.
Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programme. A total of 330,000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. Some of them volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.
Yin Hang, a student from Beijing Medical College, said he felt “the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.
56.Y outh volunteers from Beijing University went to Songtang Hospital to________.
A.pay a visit to the aged
B.talk to the aged
C.show their love for the aged
D.help the aged out
[解析]青年志愿者为这些老人所做的事如交谈、按摩等都是在献爱心。
[答案] C
57.What the aged are most worried about is________.
A.loneliness B.death
C.physical pains D.wealth
[解析]从第三段最后一句话和第六段医院院长的话里可知:老人们的孤独感比死亡更可怕。
[答案] A
58.After reading the passage,we know________.
A.the youth are fond of doing popular things
B.the second Global Youth Service Day is started by the Chinese government
C.91% of the aged in China are facing death
D.the volunteers are taking an active part in the act
[解析]从这些青年志愿者的谈话里可知,他们积极热心地参加这项运动。
[答案] D
B
In the past two years, Aaron Segura was sinking. The 15-year-old student was excellent in golf at West Mesa High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but his studies were another matter. Aaron was “just walking through the chapters hard” in courses like chemistry,his grades were low,and he was close to dropping out. It was no t that Aaron didn’t have ambition(抱负);it simply didn’t exist in his large, impersonal public high school.
Then his mother heard about Albuquerque’s Charter Vocational High School,a place where students get plenty of one-on-one attention. Something else attracted Aaron even more. His one strong goal was to go into architecture, and Charter Vocational had just the thing for him: an architectural CAD(computer-aided drafting) program.
Aaron attended the school at the beginning of his junior year. For the first time, he found himself excited about learning. By the following summer, he had got a job as a draftsman(绘图师) for an architectural firm. His plan was to take up drafting professionally after he graduated this spring.
If Aaron has anyone to thank for his change of fortune,it was Danny Moon. A long-time industrial arts teacher. Moon ran a vocational apprenticeship (学徒)program in the mid-1990s, until the Albuquerque school district couldn’t pay for it any longer.
But two years later,in 2000, Moon’s phone rang. The state had recently passed a charter school law,and a district official wondered if Moon might be interested in opening a vocational charter school. An easy answer.With this sort of instruction, Moon knew he could target students like Aaron, who might have a tough time in
traditional high schools. He’d also be filling an increasing demand across New Mexico for skilled labor.
59.Why does the author say Aaron was sinking?
A.Because he was upset due to his low scores.
B.Because he didn’t have any dreams ab out the future.
C.Because he was graduating from high school.
D.Because he couldn’t get along well with his classmates.
[解析]细节理解题。
从第一段可知Aaron高尔夫打得不错,但学习成绩很差,差点辍学。
[答案] A
60.What change happened to Aaron after he attended Albuquerque’s Charter Vocational High School?
A.He began to do well in chemistry.
B.He began to realize he had wasted too much time.
C.He began to like learning an architectural CAD program.
D.He began to like learning the difficult subjects he used to hate.
[解析]细节理解题。
关键句为“...Charter Vocational had just the thing for him:an architectural CAD (computer-aided drafting) program.”及“For the first time,he found himself excited about learning.”。
[答案] C
61.Albuquerque’s Charter Vocational High School is a place where________.
A.teachers are very strict with naughty students
B.teachers treat students as their own children
C.students are trained to be skilled workers
D.bad students can be educated in a better way
[解析]细节理解题。
从文章中Aaron所做的工作,及最后一段中的“He’d also be filling an increasing demand across New Mexico for skilled labor.”可知这种职高是培养专业技术工人的学校。
[答案] C
62.According to the passage, we can infer that________.
A.Aaron will not let his mother down any longer
B.Aaron is probably going to be a skilled architectural worker C.Albuquerque’s Charter Vocational High School is a private school
D.Charter Vocational High Schools will take the place of traditional high schools
[解析]推理判断题。
结合职业高中的性质及Aaron的兴趣,可知他将有可能成为一名专业的建筑技术工人。
由最后一段中的“The state had recently passed a charter school law,and a district official wondered if Moon might be interested in opening a vocational charter school.”可知当地政府参与了这个学校的建设,所以不是私立学校,C项错。
文章告诉我们职业类型的学校主要培养技能型人才,传统的高中是以文化课为主,所以职业高中并不能取代传统高中的地位,D项错。
[答案] B
C
I was doing a diploma (文凭) course. When it ended, job hunting started. After I was turned down by the first company, I started thinking I was worthless. I felt so miserable that I found myself crying unconsciously, unable to hold back my tears. When my roommate came, she consoled me, said all the words to encourage me and pointed out the mistakes I had made in the interview. She made me gather strength for the next set of companies that were scheduled to come the next day.
That night,I kept saying to myself half-heartedly (半心半意地),“Tomorrow is my day. I will get myself selected tomorrow. ”I di d not feel this from the deep inside but I kept on saying this the whole night,probably in my sleep too,and in the morning until I faced my interview. It went OK. I believed so.
I went through the last stage of selection, which went quite well. In the evening I got the result that I was not selected. I went home thinking that something was wrong and this was not possible. I was not in the mood to prepare for the interview the next day, but I still did with my faith in my heart.
Morning came and I sat for another written exam for a third company, still thinking about what had happened yesterday, and crying.

Although Ripton Rosen was a white boy living in a luxurious penthouse(豪华公寓),he liked to play baseball with his black teammates of the same street. Ripton sometimes invited the boys to his home to play video games. As time went on, several of them became frequent visitors to the 16th-floor penthouse. In time, the group developed into five regulars(常客) :Will and Kindu, Philippe Medina, Juan Carlos Robinson and Carlos Suarez.
“In the beginning,it was just a lot of kids moving all over the place,”says Michael, Ripton’s father. Things then began changing in small ways. When the Rosens realized Carlos wasn’t attending school because he didn’t have suitable clothes,they bought him some.Then one night, they took the group to a bookstore after a Chinese dinner and realized there were other_needs. “The boys had no interest in books at all,”Michael says. Back at the penthouse, he insisted they sit down to read aloud and start a half-hour reading period before video games or television every day.
Slowly the five black boys became a necessary part of the Rosen family. Housework was assigned, including cleaning, loading the dishwasher and walking Mr. Jenkins, the family dog.
The boys’ own families were puzzled by what was happening. “My mom didn’t believe me when I told her about the penthouse,”says Kindu.“She thought I was involved with something bad.”Juan Carlos’s mother, Esther Ruiz, wondered, “Why would the Rosens be doing this?”But as time went on, she noticed changes in her son. “He was getting responsible. The Rosens are the best”.71.The Rosens bought Carlos some clothes so that________.
A.he would study harder。
