19、）A.B.C.D.The British National Health Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was designed to provide equal basic health care, free of charge, for everybody in the country. Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals.Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS alth

20、ough it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work.

21、n, pregnant women, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment.Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community.As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital

22、 service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals-many of which were built in the nineteenth century-provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually

23、spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours.During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the gover

24、nment introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, including allowing some hospitals to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to compete for patients.

30、rles V. By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes.

31、d vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever; only the Kings letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by Kings letter had become s

32、maller. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions of the government.

Smith has one principal rule

42、 for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.“When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the press

43、ure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated.
