考点3·阅读理解
Americans spend a lot of time and money on health care. Many believe health care is a right for all people. The big debate is over “will the care be private or public”. The difference will be in who pays for it. Will it come from the pockets of those needing care, or will it come from the pockets of all taxpayers? The honest answer is that payments will come out of the pockets of both.
You only need health care when you are ill. So, the next question is, what can we do about sickness? If there is less illness, the cost of health care will go down. The answer to that question is simple. We need to take better care of ourselves.
Many experts say the fault lies in what we eat. Obesity, diabetes, and heart health are the biggest causes of illness. The biggest factor in those illnesses is the food we eat.
“Food Is Medicine” is a new program. Health providers can include nutrition in the health records. Educators and trainers can talk about nutrition. Patients may be able to get prescriptions for healthy foods and produce.
Governments are starting to tax sugary drinks. They can sponsor markets that sell protective foods. These are foods such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, beans, plant oils, whole grains, yogurt, and fish. Government programs can lower levels of sodium, added sugar, and trans-fats.
Schools are improving and expanding the quality of school meals. The National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program should get bigger. School garden programs are another way forward. The Food Stamp program offers a great chance to improve diet quality and health.
It all adds up to making food health a national goal. In an ideal world, the public and private sectors would start to do this together. It is an area where science and business have to be partners. The subject of health should be at the front of health care.
11. What is Americans' major concern over health care?
A. When they should take it out.
B. Whether it is personal or public.
C. When they should pay for it.
D. Whether it is different from family care.
12. According to the text, what can we do about sickness?
A. Care for ourselves better.
B. Save more money to cure it.
C. Pay attention to what others say.
D. Depend on the public to cure it.
13. What does the author advise governments to do?
A. Invest more in medical care.
B. Expand the quantity of meals.
C. Lower levels of tax on sugary drinks.
D. Fund markets to sell protective foods.
14. What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Food We Eat Results In Illness
B. People Are Taking Action On Health Care
C. The Best Health Insurance Is Health Itself
D. Educators Stress The Importance Of Nutrition

Chores are linked to a lower dementia (痴呆) risk. To discover what activities might be linked to a lower rate of dementia, researchers analyzed massive amounts of healthcare data from the UK Biobank. They found that those most engaged in household chores had a 21 percent lower risk of dementia compared to
