    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.

    小题1:C
    小题2:D
    小题3:B

    小题1:本文第二段有两句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.所表示的含义为医生许多年的医学教育需要花费很多钱，也就是学费需要很多钱，所以tuition所表示的含义为教育所花费的钱，故本题选C。
    小题2:本文第三段第一句为Therefore the cost of medical care in America is high. Because high tuition is one cause of high costs,所表示的含义为美国医疗护理的价格很高是因为其中有个原因就是学习学习医药学教育成本之高，故本题选D。
    小题3:本文第一段就提出了美国医药费用之高是一个问题并且寻求建议，故本题选B。

    In Chicago, a computerized system has been developed that controls(管理)traffic on the city’s 235 miles of seven expressways. Now one—a controller—can follow the movement of Chicago’s traffic by looking at a set of lights. The system uses electric sensors(感应器) that are built into each expressway, every half a mile. Several times a second, the computer receives information from each sensor and translates it into green, yellow or red lights on a map in the control room. A green light means traffic is moving forty-five miles an hour, yellow means thirty to forty-five miles an hour, and red means heavy traffic—cars standing still or moving less than thirty miles an hour.
    “See that red light near Austin Avenue?”the controller asked a visitor.“That’s a repair truck fixing the road, and the traffic has to go around it.”At the Roosevelt Road entrance to the expressway, the light kept changing from green to red and back to green again.“A lot of trucks get on the expressway there,”the controller explained.“They can’t speed up as fast as cars.”The sensors show immediately where an accident or a stopped car is blocking the traffic, and a truck is sent by radio to clear the road. The system has lowered the number of accidents by 18 percent. There are now 1.4 deaths on Chicago’s expressway for each one hundred million miles traveled, while in other parts of the county there are 2.6.
    Traffic experts say that the Chicago system is the “coming thing”.Systems like Chicago’s are already in use on some expressways in Los Angeles and Houston.“Chicago has taken the lead,”said New York City’s traffic director and he added,“Chicago’s a good example.”

    The expression “down to earth” means being open and honest. It is easy to get on with some one who is down to earth. A down-to-earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud.
    Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. A person who is filed with his own importance and pride is said to have his nose in the air.
    Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality（现实）. He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is real.
    The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day－dreamer.
    When we have both our feet on the ground, and when we are down to earth, we do not have our noses in the air. We act honestly and openly to others. Our lives are like the ground below us— solid(牢固的) and strong.
    小题1:A down-to-earth person could be_____________.
    A．social and proudB．good and oppositeC．real and importantD．strong and changeable
    小题2:The expression “has one’s nose in the air” means_____________.
    A．眉飞色舞B．目中无人C．瞻前顾后D．春风得意
    小题3:This passage mainly talks about_____________.
    A．the use of some expressionsB．dreams and achievements
    C．the lifestyle of honest peopleD．honesty and understanding
    小题4:If you want to understand what is real in life, you have to_____________.
    A．get along with other people easilyB．learn from those who are down to earth
    C．be a good dreamer with quick mindD．have both your feet on the ground
    小题5:If you only consider your own importance, __________.
    A．you’ll think you are better than others
    B．your life will be like the solid and strong ground
    C．you’ll be hated by down-to-earth people
    D．your life will be filed with love

    The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some cards cost up to ￡4,000.The first Japanese card has a value of about ￡28,000. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine.

    How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain(大脑) that does these things. A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve one’s memory.” It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brains is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button(天才按钮)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented.
    There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning(打哈欠) keeps our brains “cool”, which makes us think quicker.
    Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:
    Eat healthy food.
    Get a lot of playtime or exercise.
    Don’t drink or smoke.
    Use your brain a lot.
    小题1: A British scientist found out that ________ could improve our memories.
    A．drinkB．dreamsC．sleepD．bananas

    B．Our brains need much energy every day.
    C．Smoking can keep our brains healthy.
