7. The U.S.is determined to do something about its health care system.
A right B Wrong C not mentioned
C.分析：该句内容直接与文章主题有关，因此判断与该句相关的语句应该在文章的结尾部分出现, 而划线句的内容只是说“美国应该特别关注这些结果”，而没有提到“美国政府将对此采取什么行动”。因此判断问题句是“没提到”。
But，he said，the United States is not getting value for money.“The United States should be particularly concerned about these results, given at we spend twice as much on health care as any other country.So spending more doesn’t necessarily result in better outcomes.”
Passage 2
Continuing Medical Education
There is increasing recognition of the need for health workers to continue their education throughout their careers. Not only do health workers themselves wish to improve their own skills and competence, but the introduction of new techniques and equipment and the changes taking place in health needs and health care policies necessitate continued training. The phrase health care is intended to mean not just curative treatment for the sick but the whole range of provision for promoting health and preventing disease.
In virtually every situation some response to this need has been made, so continuing education does take place -- even though it may in many instances be ineffective or insufficient. Continuing education may be initiated by the health workers themselves, by their supervisors, by the managers of the health system, or by other agencies such as professional associations, publishers, and drug companies The form of the continuing education may be written materials (journals, books, advertisements), meetings, courses, supervisory visits, or a variety of other methods.
With this diversity of approach it is not surprising that the effectiveness of the continuing education should be variable. So it is natural that in many countries there is concern that more continuing education should be provided and that it should be more effective.
The approach suggested that to achieve this aim is to develop a system of continuing education. This term needs some explanation as it is capable of being interpreted in many ways. A system is not the same thing as an organization that provides continuing education. It is much more than that. It is the sum of the educational activities, the organizational structure that supports and manages those activities, the management, and the external agencies involved in the provision of health care. The system should comprise a nationwide coordinated program in which technology and resources are optimally used.
