(D) Maggie was very glad that James did not come to the house quite often. In the children's opinion,they had something that they couldn’t explain or understand about him. He caused Maggie's anger,so she often said to her husband, “ It's great that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener. ”

In fact James came once a year,around eight o’clock in the evening,and he stayed for a long close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be later than usual. He never talked to them or played with him. In fact,he paid no attention to them,as if he was unable to see children,at least until the time came for him to go. Indeed,after his first greeting and a careless kiss,James paid little attention to Maggie,either,except to add, “You’ll get the supper ready,Maggie. ”

Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the four children up to be with her,but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James9 voice. Very late, they fell asleep in their chairs. Then when James was ready to go,Maggie woke them up and James had to face four noisy complaints before he left. That made her feel a little better,for James,though rich,was unwilling to give or share what he had. He always went home on the last train,just after two o’clock.

Maggie's children secretly watched their uncle. They could not forget that he had lost two wives and taken a third. They asked each other what had happened to those two women,and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever talked about her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.

(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.

() 7. The word “tuition” in the passage probably refers to .

   A. teaching the students   B. studying the courses
