(C)Section BQuestions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Although America is a powerful rich country, people there complain that the cost of the medical care in the US is too high. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.A visit to a doctors office costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. It is almost impossible for most people to pay for the medical care they need. Many people in the US think that doctors are over paid. Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they are required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from banks to pay for their tuition. Because this money must be paid back to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money from their work. So they charge people high prices for medical care.Since high expense of education is one reason of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical schools become free or less expensive.11. What do most people in the U S think of the medical cost in their country? (C)12. Where do most medical students borrow money from? (A)13. Which of the following is mentioned as a way to lower the medical costs? (A) Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Chinese parents are very generous with their childrens education. Parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad regardless of the money. They also want their children to take extra-course activities or other classes. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents arc not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by leaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. It is enjoyable but difficult. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. A well-cooked dinner will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, and to use his mind. And that is more important.14.

This knowledge is also useful for managers, employers, and for anyone to use in everyday situations. Usually the techniques of telling the truth from a lie can help prevent you from being a victim of lies.A person who is lying to you usually avoid making eye contact. In most cases, a liar will just feel quite unnatural by making eye contact with you. Their facial expression will be very limited and stiff. There will be a few arm and hand movements. Pay attention to their hands. They are very likely to use their hand to touch their face, throat or mouth. Faced with questions from others, a liar may feel uncomfortable and may turn his or her head away. Sometimes, a liar will use your words to answer a question. When asked, Did you eat the last cookie? The liar answers, No, I did not eat the last cookie. In addition, a liar might unconsciously place objects (a book, a coffee cup, etc.) between themselves since these objects help him feel safer.However, just that someone shows one or more of these signs does not make them a liar. The above behaviors should be compared to a persons behavior whenever possible.11. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? (D)12.
