Task 5
Directions: Reading the following passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the answers that follow the questions (No. 19 to No. 23). You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.
Have your insurance card ready when you go to the doctor or to pick up a prescription(处方). Your card will have basic information on it, including the insurance provider, the policy number, and the expiration(到期) date.
Knowing your policy benefits can make a huge difference, especially if you are involved in a medical emergency. Before getting insurance, you will find out about what and how much your insurance covers. You can find this information on your insurance provider‟s website.
Also, stay updated! Make sure you are aware of any changes in your insurance benefits.
Where to start
Look into finding a doctor that you can go to regularly for your check-ups and illness. Having one doctor who knows about many aspects of your health ensures you get the best care.
If your college has a clinic(诊所), that may be a good place to start. If this isn‟t a good choice for you, look into nearby clinics in the area. Be careful to check what insurance plans they accept. This is important because health care can be expensive.
