Questions 41-45 are based on the following passage:
When I was at university I studied very hard. But
many of my classmates did just enough to pass the
exams. Jack was one of them. He spent more time
drinking in the Smart Gentleman than reading in the
library. Once, we had an important test in medicine.
The test had a hundred questions. While all of us were
studying very hard on Monday, the night before the
test, Jack was watching TV. He usually worried a lot
the night before a test. But that night he looked
perfectly calm. He simply told me that he was sure, in
some way, to get half the questions right.
The next day Jack came cheerfully into the
classroom. As he sat down, he took out a coin. He
tossed it for half an hour and marked down all his
answers. Then he left, forty minutes before the rest of
us. Two days later, he met the professor of
medicine, "Have you got the results of the test?" Jack
asked. The professor looked at him and smiled. "Ah it's
you , Jack. Just a minute." Then he reached into his
pocket and took out a big coin. He threw it into the
air, caught it in his hand and looked at it . "I'm very
sorry, Jack." he said, ''You failed."

Questlons 46-50 are based on the following passage.
The good news about Britain's National Health
Service (NHS) is that it gives free medical help to
everyone who needs it. Sick people don't have to pay to
see the doctor, or to stay in hospital, and they only
pay part of the cost of their medicines. The bad news
is that the NHS is always running out of money. The
British government spends even less on health than the
American governrnent. And in the USA sick people also
have to pay every time they see a doctor. The NHS has
been admired and enjoyed by British poople since 1946
when it started. The idea then was to look after
people "from the cradle to the grave". Free medicine
was part of the "welfare state", which gave free
education to the young, money to the unemployed, and
pensious to the old.
Slowly, as the yeare pass, problems have grown up.
Govemments are finding that the bills are getting
bigger and bigger. In 1982, L14,000 million was spent
on health. One reason for this is that there are many
more old people now than there were in 1946. Forty
percent of NHS money goes on looking after the old.
Some poople say that the NHS is a luxury Britain can
not afford. They want to bring back more private
medicine, for which people would pay. Free medicine,
they say, should be given only to the poor. Other
people, including many doctors, disagree. Everyone,
they say, has the right to the same medical help. In a
two part system, the rich would always get the best.
This would not be fair. People also disagree about how
NHS money should be spent. Should L15,000 be spent on
each heart transplant operation, when there are not
enough beds for thousands of old people in pain? Should
abortions be paid for by the NHS? Should more money be
spent on the mentally ill? Shouldn't doctors and nurses
be better paid?
The questions go on and on -- but so does the NHS.
And millions of British people are thankful that it's
there.
