Prudential executive wealth planner Goh Suet Peng cannot stress enough the need to buy medical insurance when one is still young and healthy. “Getting yourself insured early while you are in good health certainly has its benefits. You don’t need to worry about being turned down by your insurance company due to age or health reasons. Secondly, the premium rates (保险费率) are a lot cheaper when you come in at a younger age,” says Goh.
Her advice to Nikki Goh, 24, is simple. “In addition to t he life insurance policy that she owns now, Nikki should also start putting aside a small amount to buy a medical insurance plan. She clearly understands the importance of such a protection and buying a medical insurance plan now at her age will make it mo re affordable.”
She says a medical insurance plan like PRUhealth, which Prudential Assurance Malaysia Berhad recently launched, would
be ideal for Nikki who takes good care of her health, as it has an extra bonus annually as long as she does not make any medical claims from her policy during a year. The bonus amount which Nikki will receive will depend on the plan that she has selected. “Besides rewarding customers when they are healthy, PRUhealth also helps old people take care of their medical bills when they need it most,” she says.
For 26-year-old Charles Chen, Goh suggests that apart from the need to cut down on his smoking, it is important that he should review his existing life and medical insurance coverage periodically. “Charles is lucky to have par ents who have bought him insurance plans. As he grows older and earns more, and his needs change, perhaps like getting married or having children, he will have to review and upgrade his insurance plans accordingly. For now, he needs to check if he is sufficiently covered under his existing medical insurance plan. With healthcare costs continuing to outpace general inflation rate (通货膨胀率), chances are that the plan he bought years ago is unlikely to be enough to meet future needs,” she points out.
64. Which of the following is good advice from Goh Suet Peng?
A. To go to the gym regularly.
B. To take some health supplements regularly.
C. To get ourselves insured early.
D. To save some money for future use.
65. According to Goh Suet Peng, Nikki should ________.
A. take good care of her health
B. buy another life insurance
C. pay her medical bills
D. buy a medical insurance plan
66. Charles Chen is mentioned in the passage to show that we should ________.
A. have our parents buy insurance for us
B. review our early insurance with time going by
C. enjoy the benefits from the medical insurance
D. check if we are covered under insurance plans
C
Good comprehension is crucial —not only for school —but for everyday activities like reading a newspaper and understanding the directions on a medicine bottle. Like most skills, comprehension requires frequent practice and concentration. By mastering a few techniques, you can improve your ability to understand important information and recall it when necessary.
Know your reading purpose. This will help you focus your mind on the material. If you’re reading for information, concentrate on the facts. If you’re reading fiction, try to remember the character names. These strategies will help you become an active reader. Passive readers aren’t engaged in the process and will not comprehend the material effectively.
Activate prior knowledge. Before reading a book, read the inside of the jacket cover (书皮保护套), which gives a general overview of the characters, plot and setting. Ask yourself if you have ever been to the places mentioned or found yourself in the similar situations to those outlined in the overview. Making a connection to the text based on experience will help you better comprehend what you are reading.
Ask questions as you read, and then focus on finding the answers. This will help you concentrate on the material in the book. If you’re reading a textbook, use chapter headings as a
guide to direct your reading as you look for the information that applies specifically to that topic.
Apply specific strategies while reading. When reading a novel, make predictions about what may happen based on what you’ve already read combined with your own personal experience. Summarize chapters in your own words or in writing. This enables you to retain details more effectively.
Use the visual aids provided in books. Read captions (说明文字) and study pictures, maps and charts. Using visual clues will help you recall critical information necessary for tests, book reports, essays and research papers.
Build your vocabulary. Every time you read, you will likely encounter unfamiliar words. Instead of skipping over them, look them up or write them down to look up later. Increasing your vocabulary makes you a stronger reader and more likely to read increasingly complex texts, which will improve your comprehension skills.
67. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To help you choose good books.
B. To offer you some comprehension techniques.
C. To encourage you to do more reading.
D. To talk about how to improve your language study.
68. By sayin g “Activate prior knowledge”, the author probably suggests that ______.
A. you make use of experience
B. you focus on key points
C. you put knowledge into practice
D. you choose good books
69. According to the text, chapter titles can ______.
A. provide the direct topics in a textbook
B. answer all your questions when you read
C. be as important as the topics in a textbook
D. help you find topic-related information
70. From the text, we know that ______.
A. to gain information, remember the names in your reading materials
B. unlike other reading materials, a novel demands more reading skills
C. you can benefit from the visual aids when reading academic materials
D. only through reading a lot, you can increase your vocabulary

The Power of a Note
On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier (Ohio) Leader Enterprise, I didn’t get a lot of fan mails, so I was intrigued by a letter that was dropped on my desk one morning.
When I opened it, I read, “A nice piece of writing on th e Tigers. Keep up the good work.” It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words could n’t have been more inspiring. I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared. Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don’s note and feel confident again.
Later, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick, encouraging word to people in all walks of life. “When I make others feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good too.”
Over the years, I've tried to copy the example of Don and other friends who care enough to write uplifting comments,
because I think they are on to something important. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth and reassurance. We all need a boost from time to time, and a few lines of praise have been known to turn around a day, even a life.
Why, then, are there few such note writers? My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious. They’re afraid they’ll be misunderstood, or sound insincere. Also, writing takes time; it’s far easier to pick up the ph one.
The drawback with phone calls, of course, is that they don't last. A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, savored and treasured.
Even though note writing may take longer, some pretty busy people do it, including George Bush. Some say he owes much of his success in politics to his ever-ready pen. How? Throughout his career he has followed up every contact with a line of praise or a nod of thanks. His notes go not only to friends and colleagues, but to casual acquaintances and total strangers.
Even top corporate managers have begun to learn the lesson, and earn the benefits of writing notes that lift people up. Former Ford chairman Donald Peterson, who is largely responsible for improving the business of the company in the 1980s, made it a practice to write
positive messages to colleagues every day.
What does it take to write letters that lift spirits and warm hearts? Only a willingness to express our appreciation. The most successful practitioners include what I call the four “S’s” of note writing.
1) They are sincere. No one wants false praise.
2) They are usually short. Say what you want to say in three
sentences.
3) They are specific. Praising a business colleague by t elling him “good speech” is too vague; “great story about Warren Buffet’s investment strategy” is precise.
4) They are spontaneous(自发的). This gives them the freshness and enthusiasm that will linger in the reader’s mind long afterward.
It's the thought that counts. Please keep paper, envelopes and stamps close at hand, even when I travel. Don’t be mean with your praise. Even if your praise is a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled.
Today I got a warm, complimentary letter from my old boss and mentor, Norman Vincent Peale. His little note to me was full of uplifting phrases, and it sent me to my computer to compose a few overdue letters of my own. I don't know if they will make anybody else’s day, but they made mine. As my friend Don Wolfe said, making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too.

VI．书面表达（满分15分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇100词左右的英语短文。

The National Outline(纲要) for Educational Reform and Development is bringing change to China’s annual College Entrance Examination.
Currently, a student’s score on the College Entrance Examination i s the only factor determining his or her future. Universities set minimum scores in screening (筛选) prospective students, and only those whose scores are higher than the minimum are admitted. The outline suggests that universities choose students based on not only the results of the entrance exam, but also other criteria. For example, if a student’s score is lower than his peers’, but he shows great potential in the subject he’s applying for, then the college might consider admitting him despite the lower general score.
The outline also proposes that some subjects, as a pilot project(试点项目), carry out multiple
exams each year. This means that if a student fails an exam, he may have other chances at the exam in the coming semester.
And to improve the system for higher education, China will gradually classify exams according to different kinds of education. The outline states that entrance exams for colleges and universities should be organized by the Ministry of Education, while exams for vocational schools (职业学校) should be organized by provincial educational departments.

One possible version:
The report tells the upcoming reform of the College Entrance Examination, including new ways to improve the examination and enrollment system along with separate exams for some subjects based on different kinds of education.
Among these proposals, I prefer the one that multiple exams
each year should be carried out for some subjects. As we all know, once a student performs badly in the College Entrance Examination for some reasons, he may lose the chance to continue his study at college. Instead, multiple tests make up for this. Accordingly, I do take a stand for this practice.

W: Is Arabic a difficult language to learn?
M: Incredibly difficult! Especially the pronunciation. You have to learn to make a lot of new sounds.
