It’s summer.In the United States，it’s the season of swimming pools，barbeques，camping and road trips. Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels.These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money. “Ever since I went to college，Pve been traveling around a lot, exploring the country,” said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-Old college student from New York.This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England. The best part about car trips，said Hawkins，is that you can be spontaneous.“On a road trip，if you get interested in tilings you see along the way you can stop and explore.” Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees.With road trips you don’t have to plan in advance，you can just get into a car and drive.” Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying.Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars. Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s.Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances.Motels started appearing outside cities. By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm.Construction of the US interstate highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier. Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world.Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census. Though many college students don’t own a car, most have access to one.On many of Hawkins’trips, they used a borrowed van. Hawkins’most memorable road trip took place over spring break.He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July.They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots. Roberts? road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful.Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the -25°cold.To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage. “I know we should have planned better, but we’re youn

It seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries、While in China, Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform. across health services、Gordon Brown, the UK Prime Minister, has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service. The crux of Mr.Brown’s proposals is related to giving the NHS (National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention, rather than just curing patients. He is planning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease，strokes and cancer, for example, breast cancer.In Britain there are 200000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes, many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about. Initially，the diagnostic (诊断的)tests will be available for those who are vulnerable，or most likely to have the disease.One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (动脉)，a condition which kills 3000 men a year.The opposition have criticized Mr.Brown’s proposals，saying that they are just a trick, and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes、They also say that Mr.Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them. The NHS was founded in 1948, and is paid for by taxation、The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor.However, in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private health care, and it’s much quicker.The NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long, so many people who can afford it choose to pay for medical care themselves. The underlined word“vulnerable”in the fourth paragraph probably means_________.A.sickB.weakC.woundedD.old

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.” “Two full inches in the first three days!” These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads.， promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face,smooth wrinkles, or in some other ways to add to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health. To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation、If the product is a drug, FDA (Food and Drug Administration)can require proof (证明)under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action，including seizure(查封)of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼)，and new devices appear continually.Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.
