Many years ago, when I was working as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease(疾病)and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(輸血)from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗體)to fight the illness.

The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would like to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(遲疑) for a moment. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I'll do it if it can save Lisa."

As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He looked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the color returned to his sister's face, his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, "Will I start to die now?"

Tourism(旅游業(yè))wasn't as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries.

Special airplane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive(吸引人的)than ever before.

Different people have different reasons for travelling. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and enjoy new food.

The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.

    A visit to a doctor's office costs from 15 to 50 dollars. It's so expensive. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. However, most doctors disagree. They say that they were asked to study medicine for a long time. Tuition for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from the bank to pay their tuition. Because their money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need to receive a lot of money for their work. So they charge(收費(fèi))people high prices for medical care.

    Therefore the cost of medical care in America is high. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical school that are free or have low tuition.

    D. the high cost of tuition in medical schools is one reason for the high cost of medical care in the USA

3. The cost of medical care in the USA is very high. What does the writer think about it?

    A. He agrees that doctors are overpaid.

    C. He doesn't think the medical students should borrow money from banks.
