I will always remember my experiences in the United States. I went to an American college a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society社会) until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court(法院).
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was amazed. He had good reason to charge(索钱) me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(负有责任的) for my accident, I’d have to have a good lawyer(律师). And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair（合理的） that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. I went to see him four times. The final examination(检查) report only had ten lines（行）, and it cost me another $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party（当事人） was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to refuse his help. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. I told the insurance(保险）company the date I was leaving America because of my inexperience(缺少经验). Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent（一分钱）.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still not being equally treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.

Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair（合理的） that I should pay him.可知，事故之后，作者的室友给他找医生，只有找到了好的医生，作者才能找到好的律师，只有好的律师才能帮助作者获得赔偿，所以他想作者要钱。因此我们可以知道，他的室友帮助他是为了挣钱。故应选A。

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, homeless dogs lead a different kind of life. The expression “ to lead a dog's life” describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person becomes successful at a particular time of his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new skills. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things.
Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary (结婚纪念日). She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. She may not treat him nicely until he says sorry.
Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

【范文赏析】
Protection of Wild Animals
At present, as a result of human activities, many wild animals are endangered. Worse still, some of them may disappear forever.
There is no doubt that hunting wild animals has a bad influence. For one thing, it causes the imbalance of our ecosystem. For another, it leads to the spread of infectious diseases from animals to us human beings, such as SARS and novel coronavirus.
As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal act. Nature reserves ought to be built so as to offer more living space to wildlife. What’s more, we should never have wild animals for food, as they are part of environment.

People normally think of dogs as man’s best friend, but to Brian Wilson, his two pet parrots are his best friends.
It all began in 1995, when Brian was still a fire fighter. A car accident caused serious damage to his brain. After several months of treatment, Brian’s doctors said that he would never talk again and would have to spend the rest of his life in a nursing home.
However, according to Brian, his two pet parrots didn’t give up easily. They kept talking to him day and night, until one day, he said one word, then another, and all of a sudden was talking like a normal person again!
Brian was so thankful that he decided to set up a home for birds which are not wanted by their owners.
Now 15 years later, his house is home to about 80 birds, which included a great variety of birds like several macaws, cockatoos and African grays. The birds fly around from room to room, some cackling（v.发出咯咯声 ）, others talking like humans. Though they all have big cages, Brian lets them fly freely inside the house.
Over the years, Brian has developed a special relationship with birds. The birds who bite other humans, seem to like him and can get along with him well. He is now called a bird whisperer. （鸟语者）
Brian pays for most of the costs of looking after the birds from his own money, but has recently established a foundation（基金） to accept donations. He and his birds also earn money by performing at birthday parties, weddings and other social events.

I will always remember my experiences in the United States. I went to an American college a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society社会) until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court(法院).
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was amazed. He had good reason to charge(索钱) me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(负有责任的) for my accident, I’d have to have a good lawyer(律师). And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair（合理的） that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. I went to see him four times. The final examination(检查) report only had ten lines（行）, and it cost me another $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party（当事人） was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to refuse his help. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. I told the insurance(保险）company the date I was leaving America because of my inexperience(缺少经验). Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent（一分钱）.
My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still not being equally treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.
31. The writer’s roommate offered to help him because_________.
A. he thought it was a chance to make some money
B. he felt sorry for the writer
C. he knew the doctor was a very good one
D. he wanted the writer to have a good lawyer
32. A good lawyer is important for the writer to _________.
A. be well treated by the doctor B. talk with the person responsible for the accident
C. get what he should be paid for his injury(伤害) D. get well before he leaves that country
33. The writer paid the doctor _________in all.
A $115 B. $215 C. $ 770 D. $675
34. The underlined word “irresponsible” in the second paragraph means _________.
A. 贪婪的 B. 不负责任的 C. 残酷的 D. 冷漠的
35. What can you infer(推断) from the story? _________.
A. Going to court is something very common in America
B. One must be very careful while driving a car
C. Money is more important than other things in the US
D. There are more bad sides in America than good sides

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, homeless dogs lead a different kind of life. The expression “ to lead a dog's life” describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person becomes successful at a particular time of his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new skills. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things.
Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary (结婚纪念日). She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. She may not treat him nicely until he says sorry.
Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
