The British government recently announced a proposal to introduce health care access fees for migrants and long-term visitors this year. The fees would affect some foreign students, who would for the first time have to pay for medical cover while in Britain. The proposal is part of an immigration bill now going through Parliament and does not expressly target students. But concerns are being voiced that it would set up yet another obstacle for international access to the British education system—one of the most prestigious in the world.
"As a matter of principle, the charge is unfortunate and unfair," said Dominic Scott, chief executive of the UK Council for International Student Affairs. Foreign students who need to apply for visas—those from countries outside the European Union—will have to pay 150 pounds per year of study when they are issued their visa, according to the plan laid out by the Department of Health.
The proposed charge is relatively minor compared with tuition and other costs that for a foreign student in Britain can easily reach £20,000 a year. Critics of the plan concede that it is unlikely, by itself, to turn many away. Still, they warn that it will add to a cumulative message that is increasingly unwelcoming.
It comes during a controversial campaign for tighter immigration curbs and less than two years after the government eliminated a visa track, known as Tier-1(post-study work), that allowed newly graduated foreigners to stay in Britain to work. "Tier-1 was the hammer blow, but it’s just possible that people will see this as one unpleasant thing after another," Mr. Scott said. Daniel Stevens, the international students’ officer at the National Union of Students, the country’s largest student union, agreed: "You will see a shift in the attitude of international students toward other countries," he said.
Daniel Obst, deputy vice president of the Institute of International Education, said he thought it highly unlikely that the fee would cut the number of students going to Britain. Still, "every time you have a new regulation, there is concern," he said. "You have to deal with the perceptions issue."
As to proposing a new regulation, what suggestion does Daniel Obst make?
选项
A、Changing the public attitude towards a new regulation.
B、Ignoring the concerns a new regulation causes.
C、Cutting down the number of new regulations.
D、Dealing with the perceptions issue a new regulation causes.
答案
D
解析
该段最后一句提到,Daniel Obst认为每当一条新规出台,都会引起人们的忧虑,所以必须去处理percep-tions issue“有关解读的问题”,言下之义,Daniel Obst建议政府应该处理好新规引发出来的解读问题,由此可知D为正确答案。
