W: Good morning. Fm here to open an account. My name's Christine Sumner. My husband and I have just moved here from California.

M: Oh, welcome to our city. Do you want a joint account or separate account？

W: We've always had a joint account. Tell me about your checking account policy. Is there a minimum balance required？

M: Yes and no. There's no minimum deposit required, but if you open an account with five hundred dollars or more and keep at least that much in it at all times, then there is no service charge.

W: I see. How much interest do you pay？

M: The rate varies. Right now, it's four percent. It has gone as low as two and half percent and as high as seven percent.

W: Are there any charges？

M: Yes. If the balance is below five hundred dollars, there will be a five-dollar service charge. In addition, if a check of yours should be returned for insufficient funds, there would be a charge for that. Now, if you don't mind, there are a couple of forms for you to complete.

r but all must be at least 21 years old. This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work full-time or be at home all day, for instance, mothers of families. They do not have to pass any examinations before they are accepted as students. This is why the university is called open. The university was started in order to help a known group of people who missed having a university education when they were young.

The first name for the Open University was The University of the Air. The idea was to teach on the air, in other words, on radio and television. Most of the teaching is done like this. Radio and television have brought the classroom into people's homes. But this, on its own, is not enough for a university education. The Open University student also receives advice at one of 283 study centers in the country; 36 weeks of the year, he has to send written work to a tutor, the person who guides him. He must also spend three weeks every summer as a full-time Student. Tutors and students meet and study together, as in other universities. At the end of the Open University's first year, the results were good. Three out of every four students passed their examinations. If they do this every year, they will finish their studies in four or five years.

(27)

A．Because it isn't closed.

B．Because the students have to pass all examinations before entering it.

C．Because there is no examination before they are accepted as students.

D．Because its door is open.

Part B

Directions :

Read the opinions given, by five scholars on challenges facing today's single women,. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar to one of the statements(A to G)given below. Mark your answers on, ANS WER SHEET 1.

Timothy Constance:

What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedi-cated to

his career, but that he doesn't have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best

friend-a soul mate-someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it

doesn' t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high -achieving men.

Grise Levison:

I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you'd want to spend your life

with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long

and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matchingyou and who is able to

communicate and listen to trouble talk.

Marry Brown:

In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the

past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual

achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. How ever, most of

the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart

women. The problem was finding them.

Donna Smith:

I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and

children, but they aren't willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up

some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of suc-cess includes both

love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular or-der.

Elizabeth Budy:

I think that people who have done at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judg-ment

about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It' s also true that they're likely

to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those

marriages are likely to have more money in them.

Now match the name of each scholar (6/ t0 65) to the appropriate statement.

Note: there are two extra statements.

[ A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.

[ B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage.

[ C] How to balance career with family is key to success.

[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.

[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn' t a piece of cake.

[ F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.

[ G] Social assistance is needed for today' s single women.

Studies Show U. S. Spending Doesn't Get Best Health

The United States may spend twice as much on health care as other rich countries but it is not getting results to match, according to studies released on Tuesday.

But in the study of five wealthy countries, published in the journal Health Affairs, researchers found no single nation had clearly the worst or best health care system.

Gerard Anderson at Johns Hopkins University's school of public health and colleagues came up with a list of 21 health fields they could evenly compare across the five countries--Australia, Canada, Britain, New Zealand and the United States.

"None of the five countries is consistently the best or the worst on all 21 indicators. " Anderson said during a telephone briefing for reporters.

"If you are looking for the place to get the best care. there isn't a single place. Every country has at least one indicator where it scores the best of the five countries and each country has at least one indicator(指标) where it scores the worst of the five countries. "

But, he said, the United States is not getting value for money. "The United States should be particularly concerned about these results, given that we spend twice as much on health care as any other country. So spending more doesn't necessarily result in better outcomes. "

Anderson's group of international health experts sponsored by The Commonwealth (联邦)Fund spent five years working on the study, getting the latest possible data from the five countries on areas such as breast cancer and leukemia (白血病) survival, suicide rates, death rates from asthma (哮喘 ), vaccination (种痘) rates and cancer screening.
