Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after 1 thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head 2 his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a 3 person, he had been 4 to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often. Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a 5 collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays 6 . "For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our 7 ," said Laurene. She added, that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant 8 bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. "We'd be 9 there happily reading our newspapers, when 10 so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd 11 with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the 12 of fish!" And on Saturday evening it was just too 13 . "It was James's birthday," explained Laurene, "and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out." 14 , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet 15 . Rarely had Laurene seen McKay move so fast. "I couldn't 16 him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I@^@^@d seen him move since 1964." Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his 17 from now on. And what of James McKay? 18 he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, "Happy Birthday 19 the most exciting birthday 20 !" said the cheerful old man. "The best since my adolescence I'd say!" | ||||

I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the 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 decided to repay him one day.
But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 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. Now that he had helped me to find a good doctor, it was only
fair that I should pay him.
But every time 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 only contained 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 fire him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance the date I was
leaving America. Knowing that, they played for, time …and I left without getting a cent.
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 being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its advantages and
disadvantages.
1. The author’s roommate offered to help him because ________.
A. he felt sorry for the author.
B. he thought it was a chance to make some money
C. he knew the doctor was a very good one
D. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer
2. A good lawyer is important for the author to ________.
A. be properly treated
B. talk with the person responsible for the accident
C. recover before he leaves America
D. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury
3. Which is wrong according the the passage?
A. The author has learned a lot through the experience.
B. Everything about America is advantageous.
C. The author's roommate helped him but charged for that.
D. The author's final examination report only contained ten lines but cost $215.
4. The word charge in the passage means _____.
A. be responsible
B. entertain
C. ask to pay
D. repay
5. What conclusion can you draw from this story?
A. Going to court is something very common in America.
B. One must be very careful while driving a car.
C. There are more disadvantages in America than advantages.
D. Money is more important than other things in the US.
