Passage 3
Though the glass building is modern enough, such scenes suggest that
little has really changed at London’s ancient insurance market. For centuries,
brokers and underwriters have performed similar rituals, in good times and in
bad notably in the early 1990s, when Lloyd’s suffered such huge losses that it
almost went under. But since it pulled back from the abyss in 1996, Lloyd’s has
reinvented itself. It clings tenaciously to its historic trappings; but, in
substance, it is as though it had died and come back in a new form.
To see how Lloyd’ s has changed, look at who invests there. This year,
Britain’s largest insurer, CGU, has moved its marine operation into Lloyd’s.

[单项选择] Passage 2 Modern lore has it that in England death is imminent, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small wonder. Americans’ life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure.

Americans rely too much on their health-care system even to challenge death C. Americans are optimistic D. Palliative care works wonders in Americans
