8．I came to study in the United States a year ago．Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court．
After the accident．my roommate called a doctor for me．I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day．But the next day，he asked me to pay him﹩for what he had done．I was astonished．He had good reason to charge me，he said．And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury，I'd have to have a good lawyer．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 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．The final examination report consisted of ten lines，and it cost me﹩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 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 dismiss him．And he made me pay him﹩770．
Now I had to act as my own lawyer．Due to my inexperience，I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America．Knowing that，they played for time…and I left without getting a cnt．

分析 本文敘述了作者在美國經(jīng)歷了一次交通事故，室友幫忙后向他要錢，為作者服務(wù)的醫(yī)生和律師在作者付給他們錢后卻只為了他的錢，而不是真心地幫他，最后，自己給自己當(dāng)律師做辯護，最終作者沒有拿到一分錢的賠償而離開了美國．由此，作者認為在美國錢高于一切．
解答 1．B 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)第二段第三句But the next day，he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done．"（第二天，因為他之前為我做的，他向我要了200美元．）故該題正確答案為B．
2．D 細節(jié)題．根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第三句And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury，I'd have to have a good lawyer．And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer．"（如果我想得到那個應(yīng)該為我的傷負責(zé)的人的賠款的話，我就必須有個好律師，而只有一個好醫(yī)生才能幫我有個好律師．）這句話所體現(xiàn)的邏輯關(guān)系告訴讀者有一位好醫(yī)生是能獲得責(zé)任方賠償?shù)幕镜摹⒈匾臈l件．故正確答案為D．
3．C 判斷題． A．be responsible"負責(zé)任"； B．a(chǎn)ccuse"控告；指責(zé)"； C．a(chǎn)sk as a price"要價"； D．claim"索款（作為保險金、賠償、增薪等）；聲稱"，該題推測謂語charged的語意．根據(jù)上文可知其主語he指代the doctor（那位醫(yī)生），賓語為雙賓：我、115美元．所以該處charged語意應(yīng)為"要價"，故正確答案為C．
4．B細節(jié)題． A．friendly"友好的"； B．selfish"自私的"； C．professional"專業(yè)的"； D．busy"忙的"，通過文章倒數(shù)第三段和倒數(shù)第二段對我所請的醫(yī)生和律師工作情況的描述可知，他們唯利是圖而且無所作為．故正確答案為B
5．D 結(jié)論題．從最后一段作者對美國的評論可知，在美國金錢比友誼、榮譽或職業(yè)道德更重要．答案為D．
點評 題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
