These include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the strict limits (14) income fixed by a government trying to make savings where in can.The basic problem, however, is that there is no central control (15) the health system. There is no (16) to what doctors and hospitals charge for their services, other than what the public is able to pay. The number of doctors has shot up and prices have climbed. When faced with toothache, a sick child, or a heart attack, all the unfortunate person concerned can do is (17) up.Two thirds of the population (18) covered by medical insurance. Doctors charge as much as they want (19) that the insurance company will pay the bill.The rising cost of medicine in the U.S.A. is among the most worrying problems facing the country. In 1981 the country’s health bill climbed 15.9 per cent——about twice as fast as prices (20) general.1. [A] compressed [B] impressed [C] obsessed [D]. repressed2.

The concept of Emotional Intelligence( EQ or EI ) was first defined by Peter Salovey and John Mayer, but it became 1 popular after Daniel Goleman published his best-seller Emotional Intelligence in 1995. A 2 of emotional intelligence is “knowing how you and others feel and what to do about it”.The control center of our emotions is a small part of our brain called the amygdale(扁桃核).It scans incoming signals from our sensory organs (eyes, ears, etc.) and 3 the emotional alarm center of our body. When it 4 a condition that we hate, that we fear, or that could hurt us, it 5 an immediate response from the other parts of our brain that control our actions. The amygdala’s 6 web of neural connections allows it, 7 an emotional emergency, to take control of much of the rest of the brains, including the rational mind. This 8 why we sometimes do things “without thinking”, 9 closing ours eyes just before a flying but hits our face or losing our control during the course of a quarrel.In fact, the importance of EQ for individual success has 10 as a hot topic over the past decade. Many organizations are beginning to realize the importance of EQ and have started to 11 the aspects of EQ that are most essential to success. 12 this is done, they are able to use formal assessment tools to 13 strong candidates.It is easy to see how EQ can 14 on performance as an individual contributor. 15 the increasing importance of teams in today’s working world, it is obvious that any role that requires teamwork relies heavily 16 interpersonal insight and proficiency. Even the smartest, most experienced workers can have a(n) 17 impact on team performance if they fail to find ways to get along with others. In a more solitary role like sales, individuals still need to 18 high EQ to recognize how a potential customer is feeling. Success often depends on the ability to identify the customer’s needs.

Public image refers to how a company is viewed by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders, by the financial community, by the communities 1 it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable 2 considerable extent, just as theproduct, price, place, and promotional efforts are.A firm's public image plays a vital role in the 3 of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders 4 stockholders, suppliers, creditors, government officials, as well as 5 special groups. With some things it is impossible to 6 all the diverse publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the approval of creditors and stockholders, 7 it will undoubtedly find 8 from employees who see their jobs 9 .On the other hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval, 10 low quality products and 11 claims would be widely looked down upon.A firm's public image, if it is good, should be treasured and protected. It is a valuable 12 that usually is built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has learned a quality image, this is not easily 13 or imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to 14 higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most 15 creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm's stock to command higher price-earnings 16 than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.A number of factors affect the public image of a corporation. 17 include physical 18 , contacts of outsiders 19 company employees, product quality and dependability, prices 20 to competitors, customer service, the kind of advertising and the media and programs used, and the use of public relations and publicity.1.

According to BT's futurologist, Ian Pearson, these are among the developmentsscheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium(a period of 1，000 years), when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.Pearson has __1__ together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a __2__ millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key __3__ and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an __4__ life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs __5__ into use between now and 2040.Pearson also __6__ a breakthrough in computer human links. "By linking __7__ to our nervous system, computers could pick up __8__ we feel and, hopefully, simulate __9__ too so that we can start to __10__ full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck," he says.But that, Pearson points __11__, is only the start of man-machine __12__:"It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will __13__ lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century."__14__ his research, Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, there are still no __15__ for when faster-than-light travel will be __16__, or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be possible.But he does __17__ social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example, __18__ problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic __19__ robots will mean people may not be able to __20__ between their human friends and the droids.
