paid parking at public hospitals.
Visitors had been paying up to $5 a day to park at Canberra and Calvary hospitals under the scheme
introduced in September, 2010.
Health Minister Katy Gallagher announced yesterday visitors would no longer pay these fees because
the idea had proved unworkable and unpopular.
The Government would also spend $29 million over two years to build a multistorey car park with 1,
400 spaces at Canberra Hospital. But she could not rule out that visitors would be charged to park in the
new structure.
Ms Gallagher said the Government had listened to the public concerns. "It is clear that, in spite of a
generous policy, many visitors to the hospitals don"t support the present system," she said.
The public would have access to twohour and threehour parking spaces from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
weekdays.
Opposition spokesman on urban services Steve Pratt congratulated the Government for "adopting"
Liberal policy to put an end to paid parking.
"Finally, the Stanhope Government has been forced to reduce the unfair burden that they put on ACT
residents," Mr Pratt said, "Why was it so necessary to put so many ACT residents particularly those who have to visit loved ones frequently or could hardly afford it through so much inconvenience and for so long before finally coming to their sense?"
Mr McGowan said the Government must come up with other ways to deal with problems such as
people parking at the hospital to avoid fees in Woden and Belconnen.

you knew? If so, you were suffering from what is known as test anxiety.
According to psychologist Ralph Trimble, test anxiety is a very real problem for many people.
When you"re worried over your performance on an exam, your heart beats faster and your pulse
speeds up. These reactions start others: You may sweat more than normal or suffer from a stomachache
or headache. Your field of vision narrows and becomes tunnel-like. Before you know it, you"re having
difficulty focusing.
"What I hear students say over and over again," says Dr. Trimble, who is working at the
Psychological and Counseling Center at the University of Illinois, "is, "My mind went blank.""
For a number of years, Dr. Trimble helped many students learn how to perform better during exams
and to bring up their grades. Some of these students were interested in sharing what they learned and,
with Trimble"s help, began holding workshops on overcoming test anxiety. For many students, just
being in a workshop(讨论会,实验班) with other sufferers made them feel better. They realized that
they were not the only ones who had done poorly on tests because of tension.
The workshops were so successful that they are still given.
In the workshops, students are taught that anxiety is normal. You just have to prevent it from getting
the best of you. The first step is to learn to relax. If before or during an examination you start to panic,
stretch as hard as you can, tensing the muscles in your arms and legs; then suddenly relax all of them.
This will help relieve tension. But keep in mind that you don"t want to be too relaxed. Being
completely relaxed is no better than being too tense. "If you are so calm you don"t care how you
do on an examination, you won"t do well," Trimble says. "There is an optimum level of concern when
you perform at your best. Some stress helps. There are people who can"t take even slight stress. They
have to learn that in a challenging situation, being anxiously excited is good and will help them to do
better. But if they call it anxiety and say, "It"s going to hit me again," that will make them nervous and
worried."
As a student you must also realize that if you leave too much studying until a day or two before the
examination, you can"t do the impossible and learn it all. Instead, concentrate on what you can do and
try to think what questions are likely to be asked and what you can do in the time left for studying.
When you sit down to study, set a moderate pace and vary it by reading, writing notes, and going
over any papers you have already written for the course, as well as the textbooks and notes you took
in class. Review what you know. Take breaks and go to sleep early enough to get a good night"s rest
before the exam. You should also eat a moderate breakfast or lunch, avoid drinks like coffee and stay
away from fellow students who get tense. Panic spreads easily.
Get to the exam room a few minutes early so that you will have a chance to familiarize yourself with
the surroundings and get out your supplies. When the examination is handed out, read the directions
twice and underline the significant instructions, making sure you understand them. Ask the teacher to
explain if you don"t. First answer the easiest questions, then go back to the more difficult.
On essay questions, instead of starting right away, take a few minutes to organize your thoughts,
make a brief outline, and then start off with a summary sentence. Keep working steadily, and even
when time starts to run out, don"t speed up.
B. can lead to physical discomfort
C. can have a negative effect on a person"s eyesight
D. often affects those who are physically weak

D. they began panicking well ahead of a test
B. that test anxiety is normal and would go away in time
C. certain mental exercises that would help them relax
D. how to concentrate on what they could do
B. can also be harmful to a person"s performance in the test
C. helps a student to cope with a challenging situation better
D. may be more harmful that getting too worried over tests
B. you should not think that you will be affected by your fellow student"s anxiety

D. you should eat a big meal and drink some coffee to keep yourself in high spirits
US President Barack Obama has just made life more difficult for cigarette makers. He has just signed
a law that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry. The new law gives the US Food and Drug
Administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco products.
At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said that he was among the nearly 90% of
smokers who took up the habit before their 18 th birthday.
Obama, who has publicly struggled to give up smoking, said he still hadn"t completely kicked the habit.
Every now and then he still smokes in secret.
"As a former smoker I struggle with it all the time. Do I still smoke sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily
smoker, a constant smoker? No." Obama said at a news conference.
"I don" t do it in front of my lads．I don ?t do it in front of my family．I would say that I am 95%
cured, but there are times when I mess up, " he said．
"Once you go down this path, it" s something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law
is so important．The new law is not about me, it" s about the next generation of kids coming up．What
we don " t want is kids going down that path," he said．
Nearly 20% of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the United
States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases．
B．tobacco industry
C．White House
D．US Food and Drug Administratio
B．He still smokes as usual．
C．He began to smoke at eighteen．
D．He is trying hard to give up smoking．
B．officials
C．his family
D．businessmen
by nearly 17 million
people. That can cause no end of confusion when Mas get together, especially if those Mas also share the same given name, as many Chinese do.Ma Cheng’s book-loving grandfather came up with an elegant solution to this common problem.
Twenty-six years ago, when his granddaughter was born, he consulted his library of Chinese dictionaries
and lighted upon a character pronounced “cheng”. Cheng looks just like the character for horse, except
that it is condensed (压缩) and written three times in a row.
The character is so rare that once people see it, Miss Ma said, they tend to remember both her and her name. That is one reason she likes it so much.
Chinese parents’ desire to give their children a spark of individuality (个性) is colliding (冲突) with the Chinese government’s desire for order. Seeking to modernize its vast database on China’s 1.3 billion
citizens, the government’s Public Security Bureau has been replacing the handwritten identity card that
every Chinese must carry with a computer-readable one, complete with color photos and microchips. The new cards are harder to forge (伪造) and can be scanned at places like airports where security is a
priority.
The bureau’s computers, however, are programmed to read
only 32,252 of the roughly 55,000 Chinese characters according to a 2006 government report. The result is that Miss Ma and at least some
of the 60 million other Chinese with obscure characters in their names cannot get new cards - unless they
change their names to something more common.
Moreover, the situation is about to get worse or, in the government’s view, better. Since at least 2003, China has been working on a standardized list of characters for people to use in everyday life, including
when naming children. The list will aim to control the use of obscure names.
1. Which of the following can describe the function of Paragraph 1?
A. Lead-in.
B. Main idea.
C. Summary.
D. Argument.
2. This passage is somewhat like a(n) ________.
A. advertisement
B. official document
C. special report
D. study plan
3. What can we know about Ma Cheng according to the passage?
A. She has got her new ID card.
B. She was named after her grandfather.
C. She is 26 years old now.
D. She wants to change her name.
4. The underlined word “obscure” in the fifth paragraph is closest in meaning to "________".
A. common
B. poor
C. puzzling
D. meaningless
5. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. China’s Public Security Bureau’s computers can read 55,000 Chinese characters.
B. The usage of Chinese characters would be more and more standard.
C. Standardized list of Chinese characters has been given out to the public.
D. Those who have stra
nge names will have their new ID cards sooner or later.But when former South African President Nelson Mandela advised two dozen Los Angeles-area youth leaders to take education seriously, his audience was listening．
The famed old man said to the young people that if they expected to improve the fives fives(一种游戏) of others in the future,they must work at improving their own fives now．"Education is one of the most important weapons you have,"Mandela advised,"it will place you in a far better position to serve yourself and your community．"
"The point is,he was young once and rebellious(反叛的)once and he kept his dream alive,just as you each have dreams．" Explained South Africa"s ambassador to the United States,Sheita Sisulu,as she introduced Mandela to the young crowd．
Asked for specific advice about changing society by 21-year-old Ahmed Younis,Mandela suggested that somehow helping arouse(唤醒)more American interest in foreign affairs might be a start．
"There is an impression that Americans,in general,have not followed international developments properly,"Mandela said,"I"m not making that statement myself, but there are serious political analysts who say Americans are not well informed as to what has happened in the world．"
22-year-old Omari Trice said Mandela left him full of passion．"He"s a person who set the tone(格调)for an entire nation．"said Trice．
"You go away feeling you need to be Superman in order to get things done．"Trice said．
