单选题It seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries．While in China，Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform across health services． Gordon Brown，the UK Prime Minister，has also announced he is Dlanning to make some changes in our health service． The crux of Mr．Brown’s proposals is related to giving the N HS(National Health Service)a greater focus on prevention，rather than j ust curing patmnts. He is planning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease，strokes and cancer，for example，breast cancer． In Britain there are 200，000 deaths a vear from heart attacks and strokes，many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about． Initially，the diagnostic(诊断的)tests will be available for those who are vulnerable ，or most likely to have the disease． One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery(动脉)，a condition which kills 3，000 men a year．The opposition have criticized Mr．Brown’s proposals，saying that they are j ust a trick， and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes．They also say that Mr．Brown is redueing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them． The NHS was founded in 1948，and is paid for by taxation．The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor．However，in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private health care，and it’s much quicker．The NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long，so many people who can afford it choose to pay for reed- ical care themselves．

单选题The police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted the police on the construction site of a1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of Southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said that the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse. Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. "This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law," he said. And the police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances. The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through the police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read "No Nukes is Good Nukes," "Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power," and "Stop Private Prof-its from Public Peril. " They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by the police failed to dislodge the protestors who had been prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally the gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist the police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.
