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(教會) 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(實習階段) 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.
【小題1】According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by ______.

A．a(chǎn) churchB．a(chǎn) corporationC．a(chǎn) cityD．a(chǎn) state
【小題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
【小題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 year.B．Eight years.
C．Ten years.D．About twelve years.
【小題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
【小題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.

Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.

A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes; one is injured every nine minutes, according to official data. Crosswalks can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared   with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) advise that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of  time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears.

FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.

Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006, Bur among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) says.

Well, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard. I don’t really understand how it happened, but it did. I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn’t see another day, but I always thought I’d overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat’s lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn’t see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I’d never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate——and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help!” and they heard me. Then another yacht appeared. These guys were terrific. They gave me dry clothes, and then one jumped into the bunk and hung onto me. They covered us with as much dry clothing as they could, and the guy in with me stayed to transfer his body heat to me.

1.The author of the passage was alone in the sea NOT because ______.

A．the wind was too strong

B．the wave hit the boat

C．the safety belt was broken

D．his boat was in the darkness

2.He was not saved by his crew because ______.

A．he didn’t yell out “Help!”

B．300 meters was long distance

C．he was not found

D．he didn’t see the spotlight

3.It was inferred from the passage that ______.

A．he was swept overboard at about midnight

B．Wild One was the name of a crew member

C．he started ocean racing at about seven

D．he was too hopeless to take the last chance

4. One of the guys who saved him jumped into the bunk in order to ______.

A．cover him with more dry clothes

B．warm him with his body heat

C．comfort him

D．congratulate him
