今天的句子：
Some clinics employ more clerks than providers—not just to generate invoices but to send along the patient information insurers need to approve treatments, to dispute denied payments, and on and on. For every $1 billion in revenue, the healthcare system employs the equivalent of 770 full-time people to settle the bills.
思考题：
why clinics employ so many clerks?
词汇突破：
1.clinics 诊所
2.providers这个语境指医疗的提供者医护人员
Clerks 这里的clerks 指的是行政人员
3.along 还有，一起（加强语气）Will you come along?

Come on in= come in 是一个道理；
4. dispute 争议，提出异议
5. to settle the bills 完成结算
6. the equivalent of 相当于，表示比喻
7. not just = not only

不要嫌弃这个句子长，你仔细读一下你就知道每日一句的意义了！
Cognitive scientists have known for decades that simply mastering comprehension skills doesn’t ensure a young student will be able to apply them to whatever texts they’re confronted with on standardized tests and in their studies later in life.
Willingham explained that whether or not readers understand a text depends far more on how much background knowledge and vocabulary they have relating to the topic than on how much they’ve practiced comprehension skills. That’s because writers leave out a lot of information that they assume readers will know. If they put all the information in, their writing would be tedious.
But if readers can’t supply the missing information, they have a hard time making sense of the text. If students arrive at high school without knowing who won the Civil War they’ll have a hard time understanding a textbook passage about Reconstruction.
A sixth-grader at one of his schools was frustrated that a passage on a reading test she’d taken kept repeating a word she didn’t understand: roog-bye. The unfamiliar word made it hard for her to understand the passage.
