We're bringing health care to"where people live and work."So declared Larry Merlo,CEO of CVS Health,an American retail-pharmacy giant,announcing a$69 billion deal to buy Aetna,a heatth insurer.One rationale for the deal-assuming the regulators wave it through-is for the merged firm to develop personalised health care that people can easily get access to.There is another,more defensive,impetus behind the deal-the prospect of Amazon going into prescription medicine.The American pharmaceutical market is an alluring one for the online giant.It is large,worth$450 billion in 2016.And it is widely regarded as inefficient,leaving customers without good information about products they are buying.Compared with books,toys and other bulky items,the drugs market would appear to be a nirvana for Amazon.Prescription medicines weigh almost nothing,take up little space and can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per pill.But three barriers block the road to this idyll.First,the sale and distribution of drugs is heavily regulated.Amazon would not be able to dump prescription drugs into the same fulfilment channels as its other products.It must acquire pharmaceutical licences for any state where it wishes to operate.Amazon would also need approval from the Food and Drug Administration at a federal level.Operating in a controlled industry would be a departure for a free-wheeling tech firm.Second,most drugs are paid for by insurers,not by consumers.The pharmacy-benefits managers（PBMs）,a sort of middlemen that buy drugs for insurers and companies,perform the complex task of matching purchases with patients'insurers,so that drugs are paid for.That is a source of the sort of opacity that Amazon would seek to remove.But the rcommerce firm would still need to handle issues of payment in the background,without keeping asking consumers for insurance details.Third,although drugs do come in small packages,their shipping and handling often require special attention.Many drugs must be kept cold throughout the supply chain.Others are dangerous,and must be kept in locked cages.Yet these drugs are often also the most expensive.If Amazon cherry-picks drugs that fit well into its existing network,it will miss out on a large slice of the market.Customers could find it confusing to be able to get some prescriptions through Amazon's store but not others.Amazon could find itself a partner,however.In July the boss of Express Scripts,a PBM,said it could use Amazon as an"efficient provider in networks".Or Amazon could buy what it needs.It might buy Rite Aid,a big pharmacy chain,giving it licences,a"cold-chain"infrastructure and Rite Aid's small PBM in one swoop.A prospect like that goes a long way to explaining the marriage of CVS and Aetna.

参考解析
解析：第五段指出，药品运输往往需要特殊处理（如冷链或密闭运输），且这些往往是最贵的药品（利润最高），如果Amazon放弃它们，只选择售卖适应现有运输网络的药品，则会失去很大市场且令顾客迷惑。推理可知，作者认为亚马逊若售卖药品，则必须加强运输基础设施，B.正确。[排除干扰]A.将第三段②③句信息“Amazon需获得每一个州的药品许可，还需获得联邦级别的FDA许可”生硬糅杂。C.对第五段⑤句Amazon cherry-picks drugs that fil well into its existing network断章取义，该句整体以If…it will miss out.…假定情形说明Amazon“不可只选择适合现有供应链的药品”。D.将末句“顾客会对‘有些处方药可以在其店内买到，有些却买不到？感到疑惑”的言外之意“Amazon不可只选择售卖适合现有供应链的药品”错误理解为“Amazon应清楚说明店内有什么药品在售”。

Health Education1 Health education is the part of health care that is concerned with promoting healthy behavior. A per-son's behavior may be the main cause of a health problem,but it can also be the main solution.This is true for the teenager who smokes, the mother with the poorly nourished（营养）child ,and the butcher（屠夫，卖肉 的人）who gets a cut on his finger. By changing their behavior these individuals can solve and prevent many of their own problems.2 Health education does not replace other health services,but it is needed to promote the proper use of these services. One example of this is immunization（免疫）:scientists have made many vaccines（疫苗） to prevent diseases,but this achievement is of no value unless people to go receive the immunization.3 Health education encourages behavior that promotes health,prevents illness,cures disease,and contributes to recovery.The needs and interests of individuals,families,groups,organizations,and commu-nities are at the heart of health education programs.Thus there are many opportunities for practicing health education.4 Health education is not the same thing as health information.Correct information is certainly a basic part of health education,but health education must also address the other factors that affect health behavior such as availability（可获性）of resources,effectiveness of community leadership,social support from family members.and levels of sell一help skills.Health education theretore uses a variety ot metnous to neip peopie understand their own situations and choose actions that will improve their healta? tieaitn eciucation is incom- plete unless it encourages involvement and choice by the people themselves.5 Also,in health education we do not blame people it they do not behave in a neaitny way.Often un- healthy behavior is not the fault of the individual.In health education we must work with families,communities,and even regional and national authorities to make sure that resources and support are avaiianie to enable each individual to lead a healthy life.Immunization helps to __________.A:many vaccinesB:prevent diseasesC:health educationD:healthy behaviorE:change unhealthy behaviorF:other health services

We're bringing health care to"where people live and work."So declared Larry Merlo,CEO of CVS Health,an American retail-pharmacy giant,announcing a$69 billion deal to buy Aetna,a heatth insurer.One rationale for the deal-assuming the regulators wave it through-is for the merged firm to develop personalised health care that people can easily get access to.There is another,more defensive,impetus behind the deal-the prospect of Amazon going into prescription medicine.The American pharmaceutical market is an alluring one for the online giant.It is large,worth$450 billion in 2016.And it is widely regarded as inefficient,leaving customers without good information about products they are buying.Compared with books,toys and other bulky items,the drugs market would appear to be a nirvana for Amazon.Prescription medicines weigh almost nothing,take up little space and can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars per pill.But three barriers block the road to this idyll.First,the sale and distribution of drugs is heavily regulated.Amazon would not be able to dump prescription drugs into the same fulfilment channels as its other products.It must acquire pharmaceutical licences for any state where it wishes to operate.Amazon would also need approval from the Food and Drug Administration at a federal level.Operating in a controlled industry would be a departure for a free-wheeling tech firm.Second,most drugs are paid for by insurers,not by consumers.The pharmacy-benefits managers（PBMs）,a sort of middlemen that buy drugs for insurers and companies,perform the complex task of matching purchases with patients'insurers,so that drugs are paid for.That is a source of the sort of opacity that Amazon would seek to remove.But the rcommerce firm would still need to handle issues of payment in the background,without keeping asking consumers for insurance details.Third,although drugs do come in small packages,their shipping and handling often require special attention.Many drugs must be kept cold throughout the supply chain.Others are dangerous,and must be kept in locked cages.Yet these drugs are often also the most expensive.If Amazon cherry-picks drugs that fit well into its existing network,it will miss out on a large slice of the market.Customers could find it confusing to be able to get some prescriptions through Amazon's store but not others.Amazon could find itself a partner,however.In July the boss of Express Scripts,a PBM,said it could use Amazon as an"efficient provider in networks".Or Amazon could buy what it needs.It might buy Rite Aid,a big pharmacy chain,giving it licences,a"cold-chain"infrastructure and Rite Aid's small PBM in one swoop.A prospect like that goes a long way to explaining the marriage of CVS and Aetna.

Health Education1.Health education is the part of health care that is concerned with promoting healthy behavior. A person's behavior may be the main cause of a health problem,but it can also be the main solution. This is true for the teenager who smokes, the mother with the poorly nourished（营养） child, and the butcher（屠夫，卖肉的人）who gets a cut on his finger. By changing their behavior these individuals can solve and prevent many of their own problems.2.Health education does not replace other health services,but it is needed to promote the proper use of these services. One example of this is immunization（免疫）:scientists have made many vaccines（疫苗）to prevent diseases,but this achievement is of no value unless people go to receive immunization.3.Health education encourages behavior that promotes health,prevent illness,cures disease and contributes to recovery.

New U. S. Plan for Disease PreventionUrging Americans to take responsibility for their health,Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson on Tuesday launched a$15 million program to try to encourage communities to do more to prevent chronic diseases like heart disease,cancer and diabetes（糖尿病）.The initiative highlights the costs of chronic diseases—the leading causes of death in the United States—and outlines ways that people can prevent them,including better diet and in-creased exercise.“In the United States today,7 of 10 deaths and the vast majority of serious illness,disability and health care costs are caused by chronic diseases,”the Health and Human Services Depart-ment said in a statement.The causes are often behavioral—smoking,poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.“I am convinced that preventing disease by promoting better health is a smart policy choice for our future,”Thompson told a conference held to launch the initiative.“Our current health care system is not structured to deal with the rising costs of treating dis-eases that are largely preventable through changes in our lifestyle choices.”Thompson said heart disease and strokes will cost the country more than $351 billion in 2003.“These leading causes of death for men and women are largely preventable,yet we as a na- tion are not taking the steps necessary for us to lead healthier,longer lives,”he said.The $15 million is designed to go to communities to promote prevention,pushing for chan-ges as simple as building sidewalks to encourage people to walk more.Daily exercise such as walking can prevent and even reverse heart disease and diabetes,and prevent cancer and strokes.The money will also go to community organizations,clinics and nutritionists who are being en-couraged to work together to educate people at risk of diabetes about what they can do to prevent it and encourage more cancer screening.The American Cancer Society estimates that half of all cancers can be caught by screening, including Pap tests（巴氏试验）for cervical cancer（宫颈癌）, mammograms for breast cancer, colonoscopies（结肠镜检查）, and prostate（前列腺的）checks.If such cancers were all caught by early screening,the group estimates that the survival rate for cancer would rise to 95 percent.A: greater responsibility of the governmentB: less need for input into treatmentC: higher costs of health careD: more lifestyle choices for people

问答题Working Together Against the Infectious Diseases There is another area that really may sound like it’s outside the range of politics and Iraqi people where we’re cooperating together, but it’s an area that is vital to the well-being of the Chinese people, the American people, the people in the world, and it’s now we’re working together to deal with the dangers inherent in infectious diseases. China’s sobering experience with SARS stands as a lesson to all countries on the challenge of infectious diseases. I have called HIV/AIDS the world’s greatest weapon of mass destruction today. It threatens to kill tens of millions of men, women and children—in the Caribbean, in Latin America, in the subcontinent, especially in Africa—and yes, it is a danger to China as well. And China’s government is facing up to this crisis, working with us. The United States has told China we are ready to help. Last month, our Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson spoke in China of President Bush’s interest in furthering our practical cooperation on HIV/AIDS and other health issues. Specialists from our Centers for Disease Control are working on the ground with their Chinese counterparts. Our National Institute of Health has granted $14.8 million to help China upgrade its health care infrastructure. My friends, it is upon such concrete forms of cooperation on issues of regional and global importance that a 21st century US-China relationship will be built, issue by issue, experience by experience, challenge by challenge, initiative by initiative, program by program. As China participates more actively in world affairs, we will extend our welcome. Building and sustaining a healthy overall relationship is good for America, it is good for China, it is good for the region, and good for the international community.
