Passage Three
Obtaining good health insurance is a real necessity while yoare studying overseas.It protects yofrom minor and major medical expenses that can wipe out not only your savings,but your dreams of an education abroad.
There are often two different types of health insurance yocan consider buying:international travel insurance and student insurance in the country where yowill be going.An international travel insurance policy is usually purchased in your home country before yogo abroad.It generally covers a wide variety of medical services,and yoare often given a list of doctors in the area where yowill travel who may even speak your native language.The drawback might be that yomay not get your money back immediately.In other words,yomay have to pay all your medical expenses and then later submit your receipts to the insurance company.
On the other hand,getting student health insurance in the country where yowill study might allow yoto only pay a certain percentage of the medical cost at the time of service and thus,yodon't have to have sufficient cash to pay the entire bill at once.
Whatever yodecide,obtaining some form of health insurance is something yoshould consider before yogo overseas.Yoshouldn't wait until yoare sick with major medical bills to pay off.

35.What does the speaker say about students'getting health insurance in the country where they will study?
Section C
More and more of the world's population are living in towns or cities.The speed at which cities are growing in the less developed countries isalarming.Between 1920 and 1960 big cities in developed countriesincreasedtwo and a half times in size,but in other parts of the world the growth was eight times their size.
Thesheersize of growth is bad enough,but there are now also verydisturbingsigns of trouble in thecomparisonof percentages of people living in towns and percentages of people working in industry.During the nineteenth century cities grew as a result of the growth of industry.In Europe,theproportionof people living in cities was always smaller than that of theworkforceworking in factories.Now,however,thereverseis almost always true in the newly industrialized world:the percentage of people living in cities is much higher than the percentage working in industry.
Without a base of people working in industry,these cities cannot pay for their growth;there is not enough money to build adequate houses for the people that live there,let alone the new arrivals.There has been little opportunity to build water supplies or other facilities.So the figures for the growth of towns and cities represent proportional growth of unemployment and underemployment,a growth in the number of hopeless and despairing parents and starving children.
