A dentist’s office may not be everyone’s idea of a perfect holiday destination.But a growing number of Europeans are travelling abroad for medical treatment to save money，or maybe to combine a visit to the doctor with some sightseeing，creating a potential but fast-growing market for traditional tour operators.
“It was simply cheaper for me to go to a dentist in Hungary，” said a 42-year-old physical therapist from Berlin.He chose the clinic near Budapest from an Internet advertisement，attracted by hundreds of euros in savings compared with the same treatment in Germany.He was happy to find when he got there that the clinic was clean，the staff qualified and the work thorough.
People travel abroad for medical treatment for various reasons：it’s cheaper，they face a long wait at home，or the treatment they want is not available in their own country.The British-based Medical Tourist Company refers about 100 patients a year to hospitals in India for treatments.And Chief Executive Premhar Shah reports rapid growth in demand from customers in Africa，where it can be harder to find well-equipped medical facilities for complex surgeries.
Some patients who have immigrated may prefer to return to be close to their families when they undergo surgery.“People will want to take the opportunity to seek treatment in places where they have relatives who might be able to look after them.I’m seeing that especially with younger people from eastern Europe，” said a professor at the University of Oxford.
For some，there is the attraction of free treatment abroad.British law-makers have called for tighter checks on patients arriving for treatment，out of concerns that foreign citizens are travelling to Britain to take advantage of the free service.
The global medical tourism market is believed to be worth $40 billion to $60
billion and growing at about 20 percent per year.

2．How many reasons are mentioned to explain why people go abroad for medical treatment?
A．Four. C．Six.
B．Five. D．Seven.
3．According to the article，________for medical treatment. A．more Africans want to travel abroad B．more Europeans want to travel to Africa C．more Britons want to travel to India D．no one would come to Great Britain
4．Young people from eastern Europe return to their mother countries for surgery in order to________.
A．get cheaper medical service B．be looked after by relatives C．have better medical treatment D．enjoy free medical treatment
5．What does the article mainly talk about? A．Overseas sightseeing. C．Medical tourism.

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 【江苏省苏锡常镇四市2014模拟调研】 A
Many of you should not own dogs. It’s that simple. The reason is that, if you own a dog,
you must train a dog, and many dog owners out there, it is safe to say, have little or no control
over their dogs, because they do not train them.
Strong words? Maybe．But they are simple, honest words, as untrained dogs living in
residential neighborhoods bark at will, run loose, and visit and damage neighboring properties
with their owners’blessings as they deliberately let them run.
Take note of the fact that you, the dog owner, cannot control your dog causing a continual nuisance（麻烦事）that damages the quality of life in your neighborhood. There’s nothing more annoying to most people than a dog that barks and nothing more confusing than trying to understand the deficient（有缺陷的）mentality of the dog owner who allows his dog to do so.
After all, the irresponsible dog owner hears the barking too, and so those who must put up with it are continually left wondering-what are they thinking, are they deaf?
