The Speed Sound
Solids transmit(傳遞)sound very well. Try holding a wooden stick against part of a machine, and place your ears against the stick. The movement of the ball-bearings(滾珠軸承)can be clearly heard. This is a good way of finding the exact source of trouble in a motor-car engine which sounds as if it is wrong and yet gives no information of where the trouble is.
It is probably a good thing that sound cannot travel through a vacuum, for we are thus limited to earthmade sounds. The violent disturbances which are seen occasionally in the sun, for example, may affect our magnetism(磁力)and our radio;they do not affect our ears, which is a very good thing for our peace of mind.
If we have used our eyes and ears, we may have realized that sound takes time to travel through the air. The sound of thunder nearly always follow the lightning flash although they happen at exactly the same time. And the appearance of white cloud above a distant ship or train tells us, before anything is heard, that its whistle has sounded. Just how fast does sound travel through the air?
The speed of sound in the air at ordinary temperature is about 1, 100 feet per second, which is about one mile in five seconds or about 700 miles per hour. The speed of sound increases slightly with a rise in temperature and falls with a decrease in temperature. It is not affected by the pressure of the air.
16 “How Fast Sound Travels” can replace the original title of the passage.

17 We never hear anything that happens on the sun because of the distance between the earth and the sun.

18 The sound of thunder always follows the lightning flash because the sound of thunder travels more slowly through the air.

19 The research of sound is important to us.

20 The speed at which sound travel through the air at ordinary temperature is about 1, 100 feet per minute.

Health Insurance
1 All insurance is a form of risk management. To deal with the unexpected risks to health through accident or illness, various types of health insurance programs have been devised. Health insurance is offered to individuals in two forms:individual plans and group plans. The insurers(供保者)may be private companies or governments. Since the early 1970s another type of health-care coverage(承保險(xiǎn)種) has become prominent:the health maintenance organization.
2 In some countries no insurance companies offer health care because governments have taken over the entire responsibility. The United States has a combination of private and government-sponsored insurance. Some government programs are limited to specific groups within the population.
3 The purpose of health insurance is to provide protection against loss of income and to cover the expenses of hospitalization(住院) and some of its associated costs. Some policies also help the people of disability, and this will pay insured individuals should they be unable to work because of extended illnesses or permanent physical disability. Accident insurance covers sudden and unexpected injuries, while sickness insurance applies to illness or disease. There are policies that cover accidents only, while normal health insurance covers accidents as well as illness. Some policies are designed only to provide extra income during hospitalization. Many of these are known as mail-order policies, because they are sold to individuals who answer mailed requirement or reply to ads in newspapers and magazines or on television.
4 Health insurance covers a lot of costs. Some policies cover a stay in the hospital and services offered by the hospital. Surgical expense coverage provides benefits for surgery resulting from illness or accident. Beyond this, a policy may cover what are called regular medical expenses, including doctor’s fees, home nursing, diagnostic tests, and ambulance service.
