| Doctors" moonlighting is becoming popular in hospitals around China. It has not only raised a lot of heated discussions in the media, but also caught the attention of the central government in Beijing. On December 26, a spokesman of the Ministry of Health stressed that the ministry was firmly against doctors" moonlighting, while strict regulations should be applied to doctors taking part-time jobs, the Xinhua News Agency reported. Last year, the Ministry sent out a notice to a variety of health organizations to speed up the reform of their personnel (人事) system. According to the notice, medical organizations can hire medical experts as part-time doctors but such activities should take place under the hospital"s management and regulations(规定). As for moonlighting--meaning that the doctor provides medical service without the permission of the original hospital--such activity goes against China"s Practicing Doctor Law, Xinhua reported. In China, doctors used to be controlled by hospitals and they could work for only one hospital. However, as China"s medical personnel system reform developed, it has been recognized that medical human resources, just like human resources in other areas, should be shared by the whole society. But on the other hand, doctors" taking part-time jobs should follow the relative regulations applied in the medical field. First of all, they should follow relative government laws and regulations. They should also follow the rules and regulations set by the medical organizations they work for. In addition, they should pay taxes for their income from the part-time jobs. What matters most is that they should first finish their regular jobs as required and be responsible for patients to ensure qualified and safe medical treatment. | |||

| A. Doctors can earn more money by moonlighting than by taking part-time jobs. B. Doctors pay fewer taxes for the money made by moonlighting than by taking part-time jobs. C. Taking part-time jobs is permitted by hospitals while moonlighting is-against the present regulations. D. Doctor"s part-time jobs, instead of moonlighting, are encouraged by health organizations. | |||
| 2. From this passage we know that doctors are allowed to nowadays. | |||
| A. only work for one hospital B. work for more than one hospital C. work any time when they are free D. be out of control of hospitals | |||

| Color is very important in our daily life. It can influence our choice of purchase when we go shopping and can also affect the way we look and feel. A person can be naturally attracted to one particular color while finding another color repulsive. The influence of color on human emotions and feelings is very powerful and designers, advertisers, artists and even doctors use it in their professions for different purposes. Every day, without even thinking about it, we use color to communicate our feelings. For example, the color we choose to wear is one way of expressing ourselves. It says something about the person, how he or she feels, and how he or she wants others to feel about the wearer. In other words, color talks. A person who wants to appear stylish and mature will usually wear dark colors or black. A person who wishes to appear youngish, pure and innocent dresses in white, like the choice of a bride"s wedding gown. Also clothed in white are doctors, dentists, nurses and hospital in-patients as the color expresses comfort, cleanliness and professionalism. Brown, blue or grey clothes are the usual colors worn by office workers so as not to draw unnecessary attention to them. They are, in a way, conveying the message that they want to be noticed for their work, not their appearance. People who wear bright, strong colors like to be attractive and these colors are particularly popular with actresses, singers and party goers. In the past, common people were not allowed to wear certain colors. In Thailand, for example, only kings, queens and members of the royal family could wear purple while in ancient China, yellow was the color reserved for the emperor and the empress. Nowadays, people can wear whatever color they like or as they think appropriate. | |||

| Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country"s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country"s economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost. | |||

| How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? The way you go into new situations shows your level of self-confidence. In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they"re doing. But where does that confidence begin? Developing self-confidence starts very early. It"s parents" role to get kids on the right track (轨道) toward becoming confident people. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism (批评). That can be done by focusing on the child"s strengths. Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. But self-confidence still doesn"t come easily. So what"s the solution (解决办法)? With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. The more you practice them, the easier they will become. Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently. The way you walk shows others how confident you are. Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities. Keep an item in clear view that reminds you of a recent success. It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next. Prepare thoroughly for every project. You"ll approach the task more confidently knowing that you"re ready. All humans fail at times, and you will too. But don"t allow mistakes to trouble you. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear. Even with practice, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence. | |||
