     Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical
practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in
the community. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients according to the
number of days they stay and the facilities(operating room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veteran"s hospitals, a federal government agency. Others are
operated by religious orders(教会) or other non-profit groups.
     Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or
residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to
care for their workers or work for the federal government"s Public Health Service.
     Physicians are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not
uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $ 100 000 a year. Specialists, particularly
surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so
well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a
physician in the  United States. Most would be physicians first attend college for four years, which can
cost nearly $ 20 000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Prospective physicians then attend
medical school for four years. Tuition alone can exceed $ 10 000 a year. By the time they have obtained
their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of
residency(实习阶段) in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the
pay is relatively low.
     Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish
a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These
physicians also take care of each other"s patients in emergencies.
     Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures,
even quite routine ones, involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well rewarded for
making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.

1. According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by _______.

A. a church
B. a corporation
C. a city
D. a state

2. The expenses for becoming a doctor are spent on _______.

A. schooling and retraining
B. practice in a hospital
C. facilities he or she uses
D. education he or she receives

3. According to the passage, how long does it take for a would-be physician to become an 
    independent physician in the USA?

A. About seven years.
B. Eight years.
C. Ten years.
D. About twelve years.

4. Sometimes several physicians set up a group medical practice mainly because _______.

A. there are so many patients that it is difficult for one physician to take care all of them
B. they can take turns to work long hours
C. facilities may be too much of a burden for one physician to shoulder
D. no one wants to assume too much responsibility

5. Which of the following statements could fully express the author"s view towards physicians’
     payment in the USA?

A. For their expensive education and their responsibility, they deserve a handsome pay.
B. It is reasonable for physicians to have a large income because their work is very dangerous.
C. Physicians should be better paid because they work long hours under bad conditions.
D. Physicians have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well rewarded.

举一反三
阅读理解     Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it ? Just talking about it or writing
it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain
power? Start writing.
     By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think, feel,or only
partly understand. Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power".
     Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal (日志)of your ideas
the next time you"re working on a big project, you"11 probably have more success.
    Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That"s an extreme example, but if you are learning
something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better. Want to invent something?  Write an explanation of the problem---why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving, and
you"re half-way there.
    Writers don"t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often,they write
about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to
all understanding. Give it a try.

1.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A Way on How to Write     
B. Increase Your Brain Power Through Writing
C. Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing
D. How to Start Your Writing

2. According to the passage,writing can help you a lot EXCEPT_________.

A. has understood it very well              
B. needs to understand it better
C. wants to remember it in his or her mind

阅读理解     Do you always forget where you placed your keys or your purse? What was the name of the movie
you saw last week? The major cause of your forgetfulness may be linked to what you store in your body,
not in your short-term memory bank.
     Tests continue to show that people with enough Vitamin B-2 do well in memory exams. The "B"
could stand for "brain", if you"re one of many with limited instant recall. And the number one source of
that vitamin is sunflower seeds.
     Even when you"re sleeping or relaxing, your brain is still at work. Although it makes up just two
percent of your total body weight, it uses up to 30 % of the calories you take in each day. For it to work
properly, it must be fed. Even if you"re not a breakfast eater, that meal is the best way to prepare your
brain for the day. A quick and easy English muffin with peanut and butter in it, a glass of milk, and an
orange, might be what your brain may be asking you the first thing in the morning when you feel your head
is in a fog. Having sunflower seeds and fruit between meals adds more muscle to that hungry, demanding
organ. Vitamin B-1 also helps the memory, and that is found in eggs, meats and nuts. In Chinese culture,
walnuts (核桃) are known as the fruit for a long life because it is believed that they feed both the kidneys
and the brain. And accor ding to Chinese culture, if you keep those two important organs in good working order, you"ll live longer.
     However forgetful you are, just keep in mind the letter "B", which will help you to "bear in mind almost everything" even on those days when life"s challenges are sending you in a billion directions.

1. The underlined word "muffin" in the third paragraph probably means_________.

A. menu          
B. dinner          
C. calorie          
D. cookie

2. In the passage, Chinese culture is mentioned to____________.

A. support the idea of long life       
B. show the importance of vitamin B-1  
C. warn the readers of two organs      
D. remind us of walnuts and sunflower seeds

3. What can we conclude from the passage?

A. What we eat seems more important than what we learn in terms of memory.  
B. Two percent of our brain is still active when we are sleeping or relaxing.
C. It doesn"t make much difference to our brain whether we have breakfast or not.  
D. Life"s challenges have no effect on our memory, if dealt with in a proper way.

4. The best title for the passage could be_______________.

A. Human of Memory Loss              
B. Vitamin B-2 and Memory
C. Forgetful? But not Brain             
D. Chinese Culture of Long Life

     In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must
understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves,
correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We
must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
     There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is
not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the
language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "Learn through use". Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language
whenever(无论何时) we can.
1. The most important things to learn a foreign language are_______.

A. understanding and speaking    
B. hearing, speaking, reading and writing
C. writing and understanding      
D. memorizing and listening


2. Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This is because____.
A. he doesn"t understand the language when he hears it spoken
B. he doesn"t have a good memory
C. he always remember lists of words and their meanings
D. he often hesitates to practice speaking it
3. One can never learn a foreign language well only by_______.
A. much practice             
B. studying the dictionary
C. learning through use
D. using the language

4. Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?


A. A good memory.
B. Speaking        
C. Practice
