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 fastgrowing market for traditional tour operators.
“It was simply cheaper for me to go to a dentist in Hungary,” said a 42yearold 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 Britishbased 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 wellequipped 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 lawmakers 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.

NEW YORK-Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for Titanic, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn't call the ship unsinkable any more.
The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.
The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said. “I'm not too superstitious(迷信的).”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship bestknown for sinking was tempting fate. White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.
Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.
“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ” Palmer said. “I think it would be very cavalier to say it.”
Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”. Palmer refused to answer questions about the project's cost. Although the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of today's modern cruise ships.
“It’s not about the money,” Palmer said. “I've got enough money for it. I think that’s all that matters.” Forbes estimated Palmer's net worth to be $795 million in 2017.He describes himself as a billionaire.
TitanicⅡwill be built by Chinese state-owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer’s mining business, he said. The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said. 【小题1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “maiden” in Paragraph 4?
A.First. B.Trial. C.Second. D.Last.
【小题2】What can be inferred about Titanicfrom the passage?
A.Titanicwill have more space in its lifeboats than the Titanic.
B.Titanicwill be the largest cruise ship in the world.
C.Titanicwill allow different classes of passengers to mingle.
D.Titanicwill be a real unsinkable cruise ship.
【小题3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912.
B.The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific.
C.The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.
D.The Titanic was the world’s largest ship at that time.
【小题4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To tell us the story of the Titanic.
B.To tell us Titanicwill cost a lot of money.
C.To tell us about the future Titanic.
D.To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build Titanic.

3.D 细节理解题。由最后一个影片中的“Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes…”可知,只有Ralph Fiennes不是导演,而是演员。
4.D 推理判断题。由最后一部影片中“The end's not near…it's here.”可知,Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2是哈里·波特系列影片的最后一部。
