　　On a normal day, an American newspaper is likely to have 48 or more pages, and on Sundays the number of pages may be nearly 200. First, a newspaper carries items of interest to everyone—young people and old people, businessmen and workers, buyers and sellers. Second, the selling price is not enough to pay for producing the paper.

　　In order to earn additional money, newspapers sell advertising space to private citizens and business firms, and a large part of the paper is taken up by advertisements. The items of interest to everyone and a large number of ads can explain the size of the paper.

　　The first section of a newspaper is devoted to general news, editorials（社论）, and the columns which give interpretation（解释）of the news. In this section are the stories of national and international interest. In the editorial section the publishers of the paper present their views of the news. This section also carries the“Letters to the Editor”. There are letters from readers who have views to express on the news, the government, or the policy of the news itself.

　　Among other sections of the paper there would be a section of local news, that is, news of special interest to the readers living in the place where the paper is published. There would be a section carrying items of special interest to women, social news, children's items, and other special articles. There is always a sports section. The final section might be devoted to financial and business news, classified（分类）ads and the comic strips（连环漫画）.

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(教会) 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(实习阶段) 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.
【小题1】According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by ______.
