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(收費)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.

One day, an old couple around the age of 70 walked into a lawyer’s office. They were there to get a divorce(離婚). The lawyer(律師) was very puzzled. A  1   having a chat with them, he got their story.

    This couple had been quarrelling in their 40 years of marriage and nothing ever seemed to go right. They stayed together because of their children. Now all their children have grown up and have their o  2   families. There’s nothing else the old couple have to w  3   about. All they want is to live their own life, so both have agreed on a divorce.

    The lawyer was having a hard time trying to get papers done. He couldn’t understand why the old couple w  4    a divorce. While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband, “ I really love you, but I really can’t carry on any more.”

     “It’s Ok, I understand,” said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a

d   5    together, just the three of them. The wife thought, why not, since they were still going to be f  6   .

    The first dish was roasted chicken. At once, the old man took the chicken leg and gave it to the old lady. “Take this, it’s your f  7   .

    Little did she know that, over the years, the husband had been trying many d  10   ways to please her; little did she know that chicken legs were her husband’s favourite.
