I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer .Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him .But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.

Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that ,they played for time,… and I left without getting a cent.

My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

C. he knew the doctor was a very good one

D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer

B. talk with the person responsible for the accident

C. recover before he leaves America

The underlined word “ charge ” in this passage means ______.

A. be responsible B. accuse C. ask as a price D. claim

“There it is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

Every day after school I would 41 to JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I 42 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and 43 my friends run off to swim or play. I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working

44 me to have. Because of my 45 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Taste Freeze. This made me 46 .

Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working 47 around town. A local clothing store offered me credit (赊帐) 48 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately 49 a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was 50 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed(欠) the storekeeper $90! So I learned 51 the danger of easy credit. I paid it 52 as soon as I could.

My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a 53 of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, 54 worked three jobs, once told me, “If you 55 sacrifice (奉献) and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have.”How right he was.

Motorists over the age of 75 face compulsory tests of their eyesight and ability to drive under proposals being considered by ministers．

The biggest overhaul of motoring law in a generation could also lead to all drivers having to give assurances（保证） of their fitness to get behind the wheel every 10 years．

Other changes under consideration include issuing（发放） daylight driving licenses for motorists with night blindness, together with stricter checks on all drivers whose medical condition brought a threat to other road users．

It is understood that the proposals will be part of a review of the law governing the medical fitness of drivers that will be announced publicly by the summer．

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is dealing with a rising number of motorists who are concerned that they have conditions---from failing eyesight to epilepsy---that could affect their driving．

In 2006, the DVLA dealt with 600,000 motorists whose physical ability to drive needed to be recertified（重新认证）, a 20 per cent rise on the previous year． With an ageing population, the biggest challenge is dealing with the rising number of elderly motorists． By 2021, there will be an estimated three million drivers over the age of 70 on Britain’s roads．

Drivers must renew their licenses at the age of 70 and every three years thereafter． The applicant is legally required to tell the DVLA of any conditions that could weaken their ability behind the wheel．

Ministers have ruled out a compulsory maximum age for driving but will instead rely on tightening up the checks on motorists over the age of 75． The most likely option would be tests to ensure motorists were fit to drive． They would include an eyesight test and a cognitive（认知） test that would prove a driver's ability to react to road signs, driving conditions, pedestrians and vehicles．

However, checks are likely to be tightened at all ages． The strictest controls are expected to be imposed（强制） on motorists of any age who have had a heart attack or stroke． They could have to produce a doctor's approval to resume（重新得到） driving． Anyone making a false declaration would be guilty of a criminal offence．

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A． The new motoring law will come into effect by the summer．

B． Drivers over the age of 75 must renew their licenses every three years．

C． Doctors will decide whether one can get their driving licenses．

D． Drivers at all ages will be expected to provide their medical condition．

2.What is the biggest challenge to the traffic safety in Britain according to the writer?

A． Ageing population．

B． Increasing number of cars．

C． Increasing number of elderly motorists．

D． Driving conditions．

3. The underlined word “overhaul” in Paragraph 2 means _______． A． change B． consideration C． concern D． challenge

4.What can be learned from the passage?

A． There will be more and more aged drivers in Britain．

B． Anyone can get a driving license as long as he/she is in good health．

C． Health tends to decline as one gets old．

D． It will be guilty to make a false declaration．
