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.

Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book，“Versed”.“I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings，as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,said Armantrout. “For a long time? my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising? Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley，where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov，and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State University.She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think. In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed”. “This book has gotten more attention，” Armantrout said，“but I don’t feel as if it’s better.” The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq、The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006. Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not.“Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD. “Versed”，published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works，which is about 2 700 copies.The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.
