Passage One
The cost of health care in the United States has increased tenfold during the last twenty-five years, tripled during the last ten years, and doubled during the last five years. In 1970, one night in an average American hospital cost $75. By 1980, the same hospital was charging $200. Intensive care cost more than $300. Today hospital charges for surgery and post-operative care can easily reach $10 000, including $3000 for the surgeon and $7000 for the anesthesiologist.
One reason that the cost is so high can be traced to advances in medical technology that include expensive equipment and highly-trained, highly-paid personnel to run it. As an example, the CAT, a computerized scanner used for diagnostic purpose, now costs $600 000.
The problem is all the more serious because, unlike many other countries, the US does not have a national health insurance plan.

“The sea is the common property of all nations. It belongs equally to all. None can take it exclusively to themselves; nor is it …foreign? to any.”
This was the decision of John Marshall, chief justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835. It was stated as a fundamental rule of the sea that no one, and therefore everyone, owns the ocean. This means that outside territorial waters ( the waters within three miles of a country?s coast), the law is whatever nations agree on in peacetime and whatever the strongest naval powers can enforce in wartime.
After the United States purchased Alaska, Americans began to seize Canadians who were hunting seals outside Alaskan territorial waters. The Americans claimed that the seals were American property because they often came into the Alaskan shores owned by the United States. International judges disagreed with this reasoning. In some cases, however, the special rights of a nation that makes use of an open sea area are recognized.
All of the sea?s rules of the road are established by international conferences and treaties.

A. any powerful nation may control the sea.
B. any area of the sea belongs to the nation closest to it.
C. no one has exclusive rights to the open area.
D. no nation has any sea rights.
2. Territorial waters are those waters that ____
A. nations acquire through use.
B. nations share by agreement.
C. border a nation?s coast.
D. belong equally to all nations.
3. The Americans claimed the seals because ____
A. the seals came to American shores.
B. the seals were in American territorial waters.
C. the United States had purchased all the waters
D. there were no regulations for sealing.
4. International judges decided that ____
A. Canada had no sealing rights off Alaska.
B. the Canadians could hunt the seals.
C. the United States could claim the seals.
D. the United States could not hunt seals.
5. The main idea of this selection is that ____
A. the law of the sea was stated by John Marshall.
B. some nations are able to acquire special open-sea rights.
C. every nation owns its territorial waters.
D. the laws of the sea are established by international agreement.
