Speaking
Imagine that a government
programme has given your town
200,000 yuan to improve health
care in your area. How should the
money be used
Sample dialogue
Mayor: Today, we’re here to attend
this meeting, mainly discussing
how to make reasonable use of
the 200,000 yuan health care
funds given by our government.
Would you please give your
own opinions
SA: In my opinion, the money should
be used to buy new equipment
for our hospital. You know, our
hospital was founded a long
time ago. Now the equipment is
old, and some of them has been
out of work.And many of our
patients can’t receive proper treatments because of the lack of new equipment. So, new equipment is necessary and in great need of to us. I am sure it will greatly improve health care in our area.
SB: I think that, currently, people
are short of some basic common
knowledge of health care.
Moreover, enough work on the
awareness and precaution of
illness has not been done yet, so,
from my point of view, more
work should be done on the
prevalence of health care. It is
natural that the money should
be used to teach people in our
area about health care.
SC: At present, it is a common
phenomenon that ordinary
people fear to see a doctor just
because they cannot afford the
expenditure of health care, so I
think it’ll be more suitable to use
this sum of money to help poor
people pay for treatment.
SD: With the development of our
economy, our living standards have
been improved a lot. Our hospital was set up a long time ago, and a problem we are facing is that we are in an urgent need for doctors. Statistics show that many of our doctors are too old. We need bring up new doctors and nurses for our hospital,
making it work in a more dynamic
and efficient way, thus reforming
the hospital system.
Mayor: All of your suggestions are
quite right and very practical
for our situation. We don’t
have enough doctors, we need
new equipment, we should care
for the poor and we should
make our people aware of their
own health. But as we don’t
have too much money here,
after considering all factors, I
decide to make a budget before
we do the work. We need to know how much money we have to spend in buying new equipment, hiring doctors, teaching people and helping the poor. And I get an idea: on one hand, we recruit more
doctors and buy some equipment. And then, we can have our doctors do the teaching work and propagandize to our people the importance of keeping fit. On the other hand, we can help the poor by treating them free
of charge. In this way, we can use less money and do more work. And I confidently believe that we can make it.
Talking on P210
Doctor: If someone is sick, he or she
should be separated from
others immediately. And
confine him or her in an
observing room for further
treatment and analysis of the
disease. Hospitals must act now, seal off a special area for the patients, organize the medical experts to discuss each patient’s symptoms, then make a feasible plan for each patient’s treat-ment. Doctors and nurses must be particularly careful: they
should wear antivirus coats when they meet the patients. Be careful and prepared to handle any arising problems, and take good care of the patients, not only physically but also mentally.
Principal: If a student is sick, his or her
family should be ready to
transfer him or her from the
school to the hospital, and
then the other family
members should be tested to
see if they are infected. If too
many students get sick, we have to seal off the whole school, and let the doctors treat them properly. If someone wants to go home, he or she must be examined strictly, including the body
conditions and a two-week
confinement. If we have to
close the school, we’ll organize the students to leave school in succession. Don’t arise any emotional feelings.
Businessman: Our business should
change because of the
disease. Large stores
and restaurants should change their management forms. For instance, as most people fear the disease, less and less people go to stores to buy things, our sales will be influenced, how to
cope with the situation We can set up a system to send our goods to our customers’ home. Without taking a risk of going out, the customers’ can also enjoy the pleasure of shopping. As for other
aspects like transportation, I think we should shut down some lines. And those necessary buses and trucks must be cleaned regularly to cut down the spreading ways of the disease. Under the present situation, the
food must be everyone’s concern, those people who work with food should be supervised. Their health conditions must be highly inspected.
Scientists: The infectious disease is
cause by a kind of new virus
which we know little about. As it is infectious, we must be careful when we test it. We need gather the scientists whose subjects are relevant to curing the disease, and set up a special committee for
observing and examining the development of the virus. Also, we must cooperate with scientists in other countries so that we are informed with the latest development of the research of the disease
and have a better understanding of curing. Thus, we can defeat the evil disease as quickly as possible.
Leader: Now, ladies and gentlemen,
at this critical moment, it’s
my honor to have all
representatives from lines of
work gather here to discuss the emergency we have to face. This kind of new, unknown epidemic has caused a number of serious problems. At present, everyone is anxious about it. After the discussion of our
representatives, we decided to do something instead of empty talk. First, those infected must be treated immediately and properly. Hospitals will take charge of the work of treating the patients and monitoring
suspected cases, etc. Second, people should be warned to stay at home as much as possible if going out is not necessary. And schools must be sealed off aiming that no student would be infected. The principals must take care
of the students’ life in school. If necessary, shut down the school and dismiss the students. Third, to keep up the stability, people’s food supply must be protected, especially the food of suspected cases in confinement. Last, the most
important of all, scientists must take actions towards the disease. The curing of disease lies in your hands. To solve the emergency, everyone should work together and trust each other. Fight with the disease
with all our heart and soul. We will make it.

on their low income, and if someone in
their families becomes seriously ill, the
family is forced into poverty, and
has to ask for help from the
government.
2. Why is medical insurance so
important to low-income families
Because medical insurance can
provide easy access to hospitals and
clinics for low-income families.

know that the famous programme
“Developing the West”, it is an
important measure to put an end to
poverty. Only by helping each other,
can our country develop and prosper.

Sample passage
Nowadays, a lot of people are still
suffering from unemployment. It can
be a direct cause of poverty. As we
know, poverty is a social phenomenon
that can cause a series of social
problems. The unemployed usually
have a low income even no income, so they have no money to improve their housing condition, to have a healthy diet, to buy medical insurance, and to take up good education. We all know many people are infected with AIDS because of the lack of education. So when the
poor get serious disease like AIDS, or when accidents happen to them, they have nothing to do but wait for death. So with our country’s economic developing, government programmes should be made to improve the health care condition of the poor.

1. Who can say something about
WHO
The World Health Organization is
the United Nations’ specialized agency
for health. It was established on April
7th, 1948. WHO’s objective is to realize
the highest possible level of health of all
people in the world. Health is defined in WHO’s Constitution as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. WHO is governed by 192 member states through the World Health Assembly.
The Health Assembly is composed of representatives from WHO’s Member States. The main tasks of the World Health Assembly are to approve the WHO programme and the budget for the following biennium and to decide major policy questions.
2. Do you think that WHO plays an important role in improving the world’s health You can explain the reason by giving examples.
I think WHO plays an important role in improving the world’s health. For example, last winter, a terrible
tsunami broke out in the Indian Ocean. A large number of people lost their lives in the disaster, and there were also a huge number of people who lost their homes.
Many of them suffered from bad
living conditions and bad sanitation,
thus terrible plague broke out there. WHO was one of the first ones to give help to the people, and it did make a difference.

Listening Text
Part 1
The World Health Organisation, or WHO, was created by the United Nations in 1948. The goal of the WHO is to help people all over the world to live a healthy life. In order to reach this goal, the WHO runs programmes
to fight diseases, improve sanitation, and stop alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse.
One of the WHO’s greatest successes to date is playing a major part in freeing the world from smallpox, which was once a feared disease. The
organisation has also helped limit the bad influence of new diseases like SARS and HIV/AIDS.
The defeat of smallpox is a good example of how the WHO works. Smallpox is a contagious disease that causes blindness and even death. In the 10th century, Chinese doctors
discovered that healthy people who were given small doses of smallpox became immune to the disease. At the time, however, this method was not safe and didn’t always work. Later, in the 18th century, a British doctor found a safer way to protect people
against the disease. But it was not until 1967, when the WHO started a large programme to fight smallpox, that people could get protection in an easy and safe way. The WHO programme reached people everywhere and put a stop to the
spread of the disease. In 1977, the last smallpox case occurred. Three years later. With no new cases, the WHO declared that the world was free from smallpox.
Part 2
The WHO is also working to prevent and treat diseases like AIDS and polio. Several programmes exist that are aimed at improving health care in the world and protecting people against new diseases. In 2003, the world saw a new and frightening
disease. An unknown virus infected people in China and many people died of it. Scientists and doctors soon discovered the virus and called it SARS. Because of modern transportation, SARS quickly spread to other parts of the world. Canada and China were among the worst
affected areas. The governments tried their best to stop the disease from spreading and quickly arranged hospitals, nurses and doctors to treat the SARS victims. People who were travelling had to check their temperatures and tell where they were
going and whom they would visit. The WHO played an important role. It worked together with the governments to control the outbreak. As an international organisation with many years of experience of dealing with diseases, the WHO could provide
warnings, information and help. As a result, the disease was controlled and prevention measures were put in place to make sure that any new outbreak could be dealt with in a good way.
Can you list some other international
organizations And what are their
functions
SA: I want to say something about

November 16th, 1945. Today,
UNESCO functions as a
laboratory of ideas and a
standard-setter to forge universal
agreements on emerging ethical
issues. The Organization also
serves as a clearinghouse — for
the dissemination and sharing
of information and knowledge — while helping Member States to build their human and institutional capacities in diverse fields. In short, UNESCO promotes international co-operation among its 191 Member States and six Associate
Members in the fields of education,
science, culture and communication.

Common Cold
I think most of us have the experience of suffering from the common cold. It is caused by viruses. Sneezing, scratchy throat, runny nose usually are the first signs of a cold. The common cold is usually mild, with symptoms lasting 1 to 2 weeks. To protect ourselves, we should try to avoid going to public places often.
Cancer
We all know that certain changes in our cells can cause cancer. Some kinds of cancer are caused by things people do. Smoking can cause cancers of the lungs, mouth, throat, and several other organs. Radiation can cause cancer.
Too much exposure to sunlight without any protection can cause skin cancer. Nowadays, cancer is still a disease that cannot be cured. So we should pay more attention to our life style.
AIDS
AIDS is caused by the virus HIV. If a person gets AIDS, his or her immune system will be destroyed, and he or she will become sick, at last, he or she will die.
SARS
Coronavirus is the cause of SARS. I think SARS is the most serious disease. Because once a person is infected, if he gets no proper treatment, he will die. When SRAS is spreading, the best way to protect us is to stay at home and have a good life style.
Bird Flu
Bird flu is caused by different subtypes of influenza, a virus affecting chickens, ducks and other birds, which can cause mild disease. It can mutate into viruses that can cause serious disease. It is very serious, and many people died of it.

Listening Text
Part 1
In 2004, the Word Health Organisation, WHO, warned of a possible outbreak of another serious disease which may be even more deadly than SARS. The WHO believes that it is likely that bird flu
will spread to human beings in the next few years. If it does, up to seven million people could die from the disease.
Diseases like bird flu are caused by viruses, that is, tiny things which change and become more dangerous over time. When a new type of a
common virus changes, it may be able to get past the body’s immune system. If that happens, humans are in great danger until a cure or treatment becomes available.
There have always been viruses and people always get sick, of course, but as we saw with SARS, the situation is
more difficult today. People travel more than over before, which means that the diseases can spread quickly and across large areas — in fact the whole world.
Scientists are already working on drugs that will prevent or limit the effect of a new virus, but the process
takes time. It is just as important to make sure that countries, especially poor countries, are prepared to deal with the disease. New diseases usually affect poor areas the most, so we must help develop health care in all countries.
One reason for the WHO warning is that big new diseases tend to happen regularly, usually every 20 to 30 years. In the 20th century, there were three large outbreaks: the Spanish flu in 1918-19, which killed between 20 and 40 million people; the Asian flu of 1957, killing one million
people; and the 1968 Hong Kong flu, which killed about 750,000 people. It has been 36 years since the Hong Kong flu, so scientists and doctors think that the next deadly challenge is just around the corner.
Part 2
There are three kinds of viruses that cause flu: A, B and C. Type A is the virus that causes bird flu. As the name suggests, the virus is usually found in birds. It can also infect humans, pigs, horses and other animals. There are several different kinds of the Type A
virus. Type B viruses are usually found only in human beings. They have been responsible for some flu outbreaks, but they are not considered as dangerous as Type A viruses. Type C viruses are not considered very serious. They are found in humans, but do not cause serious illnesses.
The most dangerous thing about the flu viruses is that they change, When humans are infected with a virus, the body develops a defence for it. If viruses didn’t change, we would not have the worry about the viruses we know. Unfortunately, every new
generation of virus is slightly different from the older ones. That means that our body doesn’t recognise the virus and can’t protect itself from it. This kind of change is not very fast and doctors and scientists can change the medicines we use to help prevent the virus from causing serious illness.
The other kind of change, however, happens very quickly and is more serious. If a virus changes in this way and becomes a new type of virus, the body is defenceless. The virus can spread easily from one person to another and reach far across the world. Fortunately, this kind of change
doesn’t happen very often.
The WHO now believes that a new, dangerous virus will appear soon and that we must prepare the best we can. We must improve health care in all countries and cooperate with each other so that we can discover and prevent new viruses.(共8张PPT)
