In Britain there is a National Health Service(NHS) which is paid for by taxes and National Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area，known as a general practitioner(全科医生）or GP. This means that their names are on the GP's list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People sometimes do have to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a specialist at a hospital or clinic.
Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the NHS, it is also possible for him to have treatment done privately, for which he has to pay. Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment. Under the NHS, people who need to go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a waiting list for their treatment. Anyone who is very ill can call an ambulance(救护车）and get taken to hospital for free urgent medical treatment. Ambulances are a free service in Britain.

Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered (1) to (5).

1.

    CHICAGO(AP) On Jan. I , an order went into effect requiring that every checked bag at more than 400 of the nation’s commercial airports be screened (扫描检查）for bombs and weapons.
    Sunday was expected to be the heaviest travel day since Jan. 1. Yet spot checks on Sunday at several of the nation’s airports showed no major delays caused by the new security measures.
    At the international terminal for Northwest Airlines at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, passengers waited up to 30 minutes longer than usual. Their bags were sent through giant screening machines and workers tore open taped boxes and searched through their contents before closing them up again.
    Most travelers simply accepted stricter screening developed since the terrorist (恐怖分子的）attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, before which only 5 percent of the roughly 2 million bags checked each day were screened for bombs.
    The U.S. government has put an additional 23,000 people into airports to carry out the new order.
    Sonny Salgatar, a 23-year-old college student flying home to San Diego from Chicago, was told by an airport officer after the first pass that one of his bags was “hot”, meaning there was something he couldn’t identify and he wanted to open the bag for an inspection.
    The “hot” item turned out to be Salgatar's clothing iron.
    “Listen, anything they want to do for security is OK for me,” Salgatar said.
