  Q1. what to do if you need help outside normal working hours	B. Weekends and Nights Please telephone 823307 and a recorded message will give you the number of the doctor from the Centre on duty. Please remember this is in addition to our normal working day.
  Note The keyword “normal working hours” will help locate the paragraph, as paraphrased into “normal working day” “in addition to” from the passage is a synonyms of “besides” or “outside” in the question. So “outside normal working hours” means “at weekends and nights” The word “this” means “calling 823307 and sending a recorded message” at weekends and nights (while telephone 826969 on normal working days at 8.30am - 5.00pm from Mon to Fri, as mentioned in paragraph A) From all connections above, the answer must be paragraph B

  Q2. who to speak to first for general information	F. Receptionists Our receptionists provide your primary point of contact-they are all very experienced and have a lot of basic information at their fingertips. They will be able to answer many of your initial queries and also act as a link with the rest of the team. They may request brief details of your symptoms or illness - this enables the doctors to assess the degree of urgency
  Note When it comes to “who”, we can somehow know that the paragraph must be related to “people”. So Paragraph C(nurses), D(patients), F(receptionists) can be put into account. Basing on the keyword “general information”, we can exactly locate the suitable paragraph, F by easily finding its paraphrase, “basic information” “initial” is paraphrased by “first” in the question. Basically, they (meaning receptionists) will answer first questions relating to basic(or general) information. From all evidence shown above, the answer is clearly paragraph F

  Q5. You must always see the same doctor if you visit the Centre.	A Appointments ……...We suggest that you try to see the same doctor whenever possible because it is helpful for both you and your doctor to know each other well……...
  Note We can easily find the keywords “see the same doctor” in the paragraph A The phrase “we suggest that..” is another way to give a strong advice by saying “you must” however, only one contrast can be noticed between “always” and “whenever possible” which means “you must or should do at anytime you are able to” or in other words, “you are not obliged to do all the time” So obviously, the answer must be FALSE

  Q6. If you want a repeat prescription, you must make an appointment.	E Services Not Covered Some services are not covered by the Centre e.g. private certificates, insurance, driving and sports medicals, passport signatures, school medicals and prescriptions for foreign travel.
  Note Here from the passage, the only information relevant to “Prescription” can be found in paragraph E. The word “prescription” mentioned in passage is about one of services not covered by the Center. There is no information regarding “making an appointment when wanting a repeat prescription”as mentioned in the question. Since those two pieces of information from the question and the passage are not relevant to each other, the answer must be NOT GIVEN
