参考解析
解析：
录音中指出美国大多数没有医疗保险的人实际上有工作但是通常情况下工资很低，社区卫生中心（community health centers）提供一种非常重要的cost-effective service，由于政府补贴，一些服务是免费的或在变动收费范围，而这是一项值得扩展的政府项目。因此题干正确。
【录音原文】
For decades, community health centers have done a very good job of providing low-cost primary health care to those with and without insurance. Since most of the nation’s uninsured actually are employed—but often in low-wage jobs—these centers provide an invaluable cost-effective service and, thanks to government subsidies, some care is free or on a sliding fee scale. This is one government program worthy of expansion. Yet, while touted by the Bush Administration, adequate funding has not been forthcoming.

共用题干Health Promotion1 World health will improve only if the people themselves become involved in planning, implementing,and having a say about their own health and health care.But involvement will not just happen.2 How serious are we about involving individuals,families,and communities?Are we prepared一mentally and professionally（专业上）一to listen to their concerns,to learn from them what they feel is important,to share with them appropriate information,to encourage and support them?In many cases,so far,the answer is"No".We can go on and on developing plans:nothing will happen unless all health workers,all health managers,and key professionals（专业人员）in other areas come to realize what is at stake. To overcome these particular stumbling一blocks（障碍物）,I see three major requirements.3 First,health workers must understand that the concept of primary health care involves new roles for them , and a new outlook（观点）.Not only should we be concerned with disease prevention and control,we must also be concerned with health promotion and care, and not least with development in general一and with people.Our health technologies must be based on what the people themselves want and need.4 Second,health workers must accept their new roles.More yet:they must be keen to try them out,to broaden their scope and to innovate（创新）in the partnership（合伙人、合作关系）approach. Their main concern must be to find ways of helping individuals and communities become self-dependent.5 This brings me to my third point:health workers must have the necessary skills to perform these new roles effectively and to make efficient use of existing knowledge.This calls for a training force fully familiar with previous experience and keen to provide the kind and quality of professional preparation needed.It also calls for full support from health manaqers for such traininq. The concept of primary health care involves new roles for__________.A: some stumbling-blocksB: dependent on othersC: the necessary skillsD: self-dependentE: developing plansF: health workers

Report: Kilmer Health Care Center in Top 10%According to a report that was recently published in Consumer Quarterly, the Kilmer Health Care Center atUniversity Village is ranked in the top 10 percent of all nursing homes in Ohio.The Kilmer Health Care Center opened four years ago with 48 private rooms. Thirty-six of the rooms are forassisted living, and twelve are for constant care. The Kilmer Health Care Center offers residents an array of services from housekeeping and meal delivery, to transportation and medical services.Consumer Quarterly looked at three main factors to come up with the nursing home rankings. The first washow the facility ranked in their state inspections. The second was the ratio of the number of care givers,(including nurses and nurse's aides), to the number of residents. Finally, they looked at the services the facility offers and compared those to the current and future needs of the residents who live there.Consumer Quarterly hopes the report encourages those facilities ranked in the lower 10% to review andimprove their operations.How many rooms in Kilmer Health CareCenter are intended for assisted living?A. 12B. 36C. 48D. 66

Text 2 No wonder they are called"patients".When people enter the health-care systems of rich countries today,they know what they will get:prodding doctors,endless tests,rising costs and,above all,long waits.Some stoicism will always be needed,because health care is complex and diligence matters.But frustration is boiling over.This week three of the biggest names in American business-Amazon,Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase-announced a new venture to provide better,cheaper health care for their employees.A fundamental problem with today's system is that patients lack knowledge and control.Access to data can bestow both.The intemet already enables patients to seek online consultations when and where it suits them.Yet radical change demands a shift in emphasis,from providers to patients and from doctors to data.That shift is happening.Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to monitor their own health.The possibilities multiply when you add the crucial missing ingredients-access to your own medical records and the ability easily to share information with those you trust.That allows you to reduce inefficiencies in your own treatment and also to provide data to help train medical algorithms.As with all new technologies,pitfalls accompany the promise.Hucksters will launch apps that do not work.But with regulators demanding oversight of apps that present risks to patients,users will harm only their wallets.Not everyone will want to take active control of their own health care;plenty will want the professionals to manage everything.The benefits of new technologies often flow disproportionately to the rich.Those fears are mitigated by the incentives that employers,govemments and insurers have to invest in cost-efficient preventive care for all.Other risks are harder to deal with.Greater transparency may encourage the hale and hearty not to take out health insurance.They may even make it harder for the unwell to find cover.Will the benefits ofmaking data more widely available outweigh such risks?The signs are that they will.Plenty of countries are now opening up their medical records,but few have gone as far as Sweden.It aims to give all its citizens electronic access to their medical records by 2020;over a third of Swedes have already set up accounts.Studies show that patients with such access have a better understanding of their illnesses,and that their treatment is more successful.Trials in America and Canada have produced not just happier patients but lower costs,as clinicians fielded fewer inquiries.That should be no surprise.No one has a greater interest in your health than you do.Trust in Doctor You.Health-care system in wealthy countries is characterized by the following except____A.numerous checksB.higher costC.impatient doctorsD.complex infrastructure

资料：Gone are the days of “one-size-fits-all” employee benefits programs and here come newly designed and fully customized voluntary benefits. Voluntary benefits are on longer looked at as just a few “extras”, and are now becoming part of a comprehensive benefits package. Lot's take a look at how voluntary benefits have become more customized to meet the requirements of a more particular health care consumer.Voluntary Benefits Bolster Recruitment and Retention EffortsIt gives employees a chance to select extras that the standard health care plan doesn't offer, which can be highly attractive to today's consumers Employers can also use voluntary benefits to round out their health care plans with a menu of items that cover everything from family vision care to pet insurance. This helps companies to address the specific heath and financial needs of candidates, to help the stretch their future paychecks even further.The Advantages of Offering Voluntary Employee BenefitsIn terms of being adaptable to the needs of employees, there are very few benefits that are like voluntary plans. Voluntary plans cover many of the gaps that traditional health benefits do not cover. For example, a health care plan may require dental services for minors, but not for adults. The voluntary dental program can cover things like routine cleanings and other preventative measures that help support good oral health. Customizing Voluntary Benefit PlansThere are several areas where voluntary benefit plans exceed the customization options of other types of wellness and financial benefits. This is a continual trend that we will see more of. Financial wellness benefits can include budgeting software, company matched savings plans, employee purchase programs, discount cards, credit union access, and even short term financing to help employees who otherwise cannot get credit to purchase things they need. Some companies offer support for buying of leasing vehicles, pay off college loans, arrange for special discounts and deals on home rentals and purchases, and even provide access to tuition for college expenses.It can be inferred from the passage that, comparing with the traditional health benefits, voluntary plans______A.incur less cost by the company to offer benefit programs.B.cover many of the gaps that traditional health benefits do not cover.C.help employees who are dealing with tough personal and career matters.D.encourage employees to stay with their companies for longer periods of time.
