The standard of medicine in the United States is generally agreed to be very high. There
is no shortage of well qualified specialists, and there is a lot of individual attention.
Treatment is backed up by the latest in the way of medical technology. Doctors and
hospitals do their utmost not to make mistakes, because if they do they risk being made to
pay out enormous sums in compensation. But the American health care system has what
look like insoluble problems. There are in fact two systems side by side. One is the
private system run on the basis of free competition. The other is the public system which

had to be created because such a large part of the population, including many of the
Page 12of15

elderly, could not afford to pay for the absurdly expensive private treatment. The public
system is vast. A huge proportion - more than 10 per cent - of the United States federal
budget goes on it. Yet there are still very large numbers of Americans who are not
covered even by this service. The government tries to keep expenditure down and so sets
limits to the income of people using the system. Millions of the unemployed are another
important group that is excluded.

101. What is the state of the health system in America? It is
A) Unsatisfactory B) Satisfactory.
C) Too risky D) Too mechanised

102. What can patients expect with regard to treatment in the U.S.A.?
A) Frequent mistakes by doctors
B) Very honest hospitals
C) Personal attention
D) Some of the most skilful nurses in the world

103. Among those Americans who cannot get proper health care are
A) Some people who earn too much B) Old people
C) People with very large incomes D) Private patients

dream. In it, he found himself in a land where small slug-like animals with slimy
tentacles lived on people's bodies. The people tolerated the loathsome creatures because
after many years they grew into elephants which then became the nation's system of
transport, carrying everyone wherever he wanted to go. Harold suddenly realized that he
himself was covered with these things, and he woke up screaming. In a vivid sequence of

he saw himself as letting society feed on his body in his early years so that it would carry
him when he retired. He later threw off the "security bug" and took up freelance work.

At this stage of civilization, when many nations are brought in to close and vital contact
for good and evil, it is essential, as never before, that their gross ignorance of one another
should be diminished, that they should begin to understand a little of one another's
historical experience and resulting mentality. It is the fault of the English to expect the
people of other countries to react as they do, to political and international situations. Our
genuine goodwill and good intentions are often brought to nothing, because we expect
other people to be like us. This would be corrected if we knew the history, not necessarily
in detail but in broad outlines, of the social and political conditions which have given to
each nation its present character.
