China improved the quality health care to its population, but observers say continued reforms are still needed to solve the problems caused by high costs and uneven （ 不均衡的） spread．

O’Leary, a Britain-based medical researcher who focuses on China, is "greatly impressed" by Being’s success in making sure the insurance programmers cover a very large percentage of the population.  But he says medical costs are still high, even for the insured．"So when health care costs are higher there are still out-of-pocket expenses, and that remains a major challenge," he says．Observers say out-of-pocket expenses are not affordable for many in rural areas, where a serious illness can make lower-income residents fall into poverty．

Another challenge is the uneven spread of China's health care reform．Compared with the urban areas many rural areas are still served by medical workers with little training．"At the village level rural doctors are often people who don't have regular medical training．But they're often providing all the services for the poorest people．" says O'Leary．

High drug prices, a lack of qualified doctors and nurses, and an aging population are still the problems as China improves its health care system．

China says that its healthcare system still fall far short of the public's demands for healthcare as well as the requirements of economic and social development．But many observers, including O'Leary, agree that China is making steady and positive progress toward providing quality health care for its citizens．"They are moving in the right direction," says O'Leary．"Trying to provide a universal health care system for 1．3 billion people is a huge task．But China will surely do better with its continuous efforts．"

Forgiveness

One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored   26 of varying shapes and sizes filled the bright skies like beautiful birds darting and    27   . As the strong wind blow against the kites, a  28  kept them in control.

Instead of   29   away with the wind they arose against it to achieve great  30 . They shook and pulled,   31  the control string and the long tail    32  them in tow(受支配), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites   33   and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, "Let me go! Let me go! I want to be  34 !" They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction(约束) of the string.   35  , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. "Free at last" , it seemed to say "Free to fly with the wind".

Yet freedom from   36   simply put it at the   37  of an unsympathetic breeze. it dropped ungracefully(不雅地) to the ground and   38  in a wild mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. "Free at last" -- free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown   39 along the ground, and to lodge lifelessly against the first obstruction.

How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversities and restrictions, rules to  40  from which we can grow and gain strength. Control is a   41   counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of his tug at the rules so hard that we  42  soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise   43   enough to get our tails off the ground.

Let us each rise to the great heights,   44   that some of the controls that we may be unhappy under are actually the steadying force that helps us   45   and achieve.

When in doubt, cut that out! Yeah, yeah, doubting Thomas may have had a point in his day, and life may not be what you want it to be, but if you constantly doubt yourself, how can you accomplish anything?

Where is your confidence? What possible good can come from taking the negative aspect of any situation and growing it into acceptance?

The purpose of achievement is to attain a goal. So, if you set your goals and strive to get there, it should be assumed that you are moving toward your goals no matter what you are doing, right?

When watching a football game, one of those great high school starter games, set to determine who starts when the real game begin. I noticed the coach called “defense” only when the team was “protecting” their goal. As long as the team was fighting for more ground they played “offense”. Along the same lines, I've heard the phrase, “A strong defense requires a good offense.” Simply put, if you concentrate more on gaining ground than on protecting your goal, your accomplishments will be greater. Time spent protecting your goal is wasted time, when you could be working toward attaining your goal rather than preventing others from reaching their goal.

In business, if you waste your time focusing on what the competition is doing rather than working toward meeting your goals, you don't get very far.

Focus your attention on where you're going. Don't waste time worrying about where the competition is. You will gain ground while they are watching you. Smile as you reach your destination.
