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(收费)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.
【小题1】The underlined word "tuition" in the passage means “______”
A.eating at schoolB.studying the courses
C.money used for educationD.living at school
【小题2】The main idea of the passage is that______.
A.a visit to a doctor's office may cost much in the USA
B.the cost of medical care is the only reason for the high costs in the USA
C.medical care in the USA costs a lot of money because doctors want to be rich
D.the high cost of tuition in medical schools is one reason for the high cost of medical care in the USA
【小题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.
B.He thinks it is a big problem and suggests (建议) solving (解决) it.
C.He doesn't think the medical students should borrow money from banks.
D.He doesn't think it necessary for the medical students to study for a long time.

I have a neighbor we call “Happy”. I have never seen her angry at anything and never heard her say a harsh word to anyone or about anyone.
Happy and her husband Ben, 70, have a huge garden. They spent many happy hours together working on it. Most of the neighbors watched interestingly as Ben doubled the size of their garden. As the cost of food climbed faster than Ben’s beans, we all wished we also had such a large garden. As the rest of us spent our dollars at the market, Happy could be seen picking beans in her back yard.
Last month, Happy and Ben invited most of the neighborhood over for an “all-day food festival”. We were told to bring gloves and arrive very early in the morning. We didn’t know what was about to take place.
By 9:00 am, there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans, okra, and squash. By 10:00 am, there was lots of laughter. We shared a lot of stories. By five o’clock, everyone was a little drunk from the wine and beer. After dinner, we played games. As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!
Well, the point wasn’t so much about the food. The true gift was a day of friends enjoying one another’s company. None of it would have happened if it had been for Happy and Ben’s garden. Now they have a blog about gardening in case we decided to plant a garden. And I am so proud of my tomato plants!
【小题1】According to paragraph 2, people wished they also had a garden so that                  .

A.they could spend happy times together with their family in it
B.they could grow vegetables and sell at the market
C.they could invite their neighbors and hold parties in it
D.they didn’t have to spend so much money on food
【小题2】 Which of the following is the same as the underlined word “bounty”?

【小题3】For what purpose did Happy and Ben invite the neighbors to their garden?
A.To ask them to attend a birthday party
B.To help them get to know each other.
C.To let them enjoy what they grew in the garden.
D.To ask them to share some interesting stories.
【小题4】What did the writer most probably think of the time he spent in the garden?
A.He thought it was too short but enjoyable.
