Money Matters for Students
GETTING A GRANT（補助）
Who pays?
The Local Education Authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.
Who can get this money?
Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude (排除) some students from overseas.
SPECIAL CASES
If a student has worked before going to college:
A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money--￡155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of ￡615 at 29 or more.
If a student is handicapped (殘疾的):
LEAs will give up to ￡500 to help meet extra expenses—such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra heating or special food.
Banking:
Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials). A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit. Some banks allow students to overdraw by ￡100 or so, and still don’t make charges (though they do charge interest).
小題1:A student from Japan who has been staying in England for a year and intends to go to college in a few months will _________.
A．get money if he is taking a first degree course
B．be unable to get money from any LEA

A．A student already attending a course of advanced education is sure to get a grant.
B．A student aged 30 can get extra money—￡615 a year.
C．A student usually must pay back charges when the account is in credit.
D．Students are allowed to overdraw by ￡100 or so in any bank.
小題3:Why is it likely that a bank will welcome new students as their customers?

Singapore National Eye Centre
“I could have lost my vision.
SNEC restored (恢復(fù))my sight.”
A macular hole, a hole at the most crucial part of the retina brought Bonny Huang who is from Hong Kong to the Singapore National Eye Centre for treatment. The retina is the light sensing nerve tissue at the back of the eye. In no time the potentially blinding condition was treated and his vision is now restored.
“In April 2008, I noticed straight lines started to become distorted, and white patch appeared in the centre of my vision. I went to the Singapore National Eye Centre immediately. The ophthalmologist, a medical doctor who specializes in eye care and surgery, found a central macular hole in my left eye.”
The treatment of this condition involves delicate judgment dependent on the experience of the doctor. The success of the recovery, however, relies largely on the face-down posture by the patient.
“The Ophthalmologist explained to me the operational procedures, and taught me how to comply with the post-surgery face-down posture.
The best part is that when I forgot some of the key points he told me, he showed no sign of resentment but instead comforted me not to worry before he went through the points again. I underwent an operation which lasted for only one hour, and maintained a face-down posture for three weeks. The result was very successful.”
“I once consulted my Ophthalmologist during his lunch time, and he attended to me without finishing his lunch. His understanding and concern shown towards his patients can be scarcely found in other medical centres. I am very pleased to have received timely treatment in Singapore National Eye Centre where the doctors care about their patients.”

50 senior and experienced eye surgeons, total staff strength of 460
Ultra-modern facility with state-of-the-art technology and equipment
Quality assurance programme backed by 100% clinical audit of outcomes
High impact research teams leading to latest treatment strategies
Multi-expert approach to treatment of complex eye conditions
250,000 outpatient visits, 14,000 major eye surgeries, 13,000 laser procedures annually
Singapore National Eye Centre
11 Third Hospital Avenue, Singapore 168751, International Patient Service 24-hour Hotline: 65-6100- 9393
E-mail: ips@snec.com.sg or visit www.snec.com.sg
小題1:According to this passage, the Eye Centre is ______.
A．a(chǎn) charity organization helping people solve their eye problems
B．a(chǎn)n institute focusing on eye-treatment research
C．a(chǎn) hospital specializing in eye-problem treatment and research
D．a(chǎn)n international institute treating people’s diseases
