Section B
Passage one
Question 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
If you’re a male and you’re reading this , congratulations : you’re a survivor. According to
statistics, you’re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman ,and nine times
more likely to die of AIDS . Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78years
for men in Australia , you’ll die on average five years before a woman.
There’re many reasons for this ---typically , men take more risks than women and are more
likely to drink and smoke—but perhaps more importantly , men don’t go to the doctor.
“men aren’t seeing doctors as often as they should ,” says ta . “this is particularly so
for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike .”
Gullotta say a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two . For those over 45,it
should be at least once a year .
Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his
smoker’s cough for a year .
“when I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer ,” he
says. “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him but it would have prolonged his
life .”
According to a recent survey ,95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor
once a year , compared to 70% of men in the same age group.
“A lot of men think they’re invincible (不可战胜的),” Gullatta says . “they only come in
when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think ,’Geez,if it could happen to
him ,……’ ”
Then there’s the ostrich approach .”Some men are scared of what might be there and would
rather not know ,” says Cartmill.
“most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies ,” Garmill
says .He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive
check-ups.
Regular check-us for men would inevitably lace strain on the public purse , Cartmill says .
“but prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the disease . Besides , the ultimate
cost is far greater :it’s called premature death .”

Passage two
Question 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
High-quality customer service is preached by many, but actually keeping customers happy is
easier said than done.
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store ,but instead will alert
their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen.
Store managers are often the last to hear complaints,and often find out only when their
regular customers decide to frequent their competitors, according to study jointly conducted by
Verde Group and Wharton School.
