(C) The cost of medical care in the United States is very high. More 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 is almost impossible for people to pay for the medical care they need. Many people in the United States think that doctors are overpaid. Most doctors,however,disagree. They say that they were required 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 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,it is possible that the high cost of medical care in America is unnecessary,because high tuition is one cause of high costs. One way to lower costs would be to have medical schools that are free or have low tuition.

   A. teaching the students   B. studying the courses

   C. payment (付款) for education   D. living at school

() 8. In the passage,the reason for the high medical cost is that .

   A. tuition in medical schools is high   B. the price of medicine is high

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.

Remember these three words： reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup

or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

Recycle means ‘‘ change things into something else. Although it takes energy to change something into something else,it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials,such as recycled paper,to help save trees.
