    When Christie Andrews was born, she weighed less that half of one kilogram. Her heart was the size of a large coin. Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand.
    Christie couldn’t breathe without a machine to give her oxygen. If she had been born 20 years earlier, she would probably have died at once. She needed two operations, but she survived without serious damage.
    Twenty years ago , 90% of all premature(早产) babies died. Today, doctors manage to save four out of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the babies.
    But saving Christie’s life cost more than $ 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million dollars saving a single child. The parents usually don’t have enough money to pay. The government, an insurance company or the hospital picks up the bill. Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care.
    Some people think it makes more sense to spend money saving 10 adults who have cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby. But nobody wants to be the doctor who has to tell parents to their faces, “Sorry, I won’t save your new child.”
    小题1: Parents don’t pay their babies’ hospital bills because        .
    A．they don’t have enough money
    B．they would rather save cancer patients
    C．doctors don’t care if the babies die
    D．it makes more sense to have a bigger baby
    小题2:The true cost of saving a baby may be even more than 1 million because        .
    A．oxygen machine are expensive
    B．the baby may require medical care after it leaves the hospital
    C．doctors always charge more than they should
    D．four out of five premature babies can now be saved
    小题3:From the story we know that saving a cancer patient        .
    A．is easier than saving a babyB．is harder than saving a baby
    C．is cheaper than saving a baby D．is more common than saving a baby
    小题4:The main idea of the article is        .
    A．doctors must never decide whether to save babies or cancer patients
    B．doctors are able to save premature babies, but the cost is very high
    C．having a premature baby was cheaper and safer 20 years ago
    D．Christie survived because the hospital paid her bills

    小题1:A
    小题1:B
    小题1:C
    小题1:B

    小题1:细节题：第四段的句子：But saving Christie’s life cost more than $ 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million dollars saving a single child. The parents usually don’t have enough money to pay.可知是因为费用太高，答案是A
    小题1:细节题：第四段的句子：Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care.可知护理孩子的费用加上的话就更高了，答案是B
    小题1:细节题：第五段的句子：Some people think it makes more sense to spend money saving 10 adults who have cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby.可知旧癌症病人比救孩子钱少，答案是C
    小题1:主旨题：从这篇文章的整体看：可知讲的是医生可以救新生儿但费用太高，答案是B

    I have always been interested in making things. When I was a child, I enjoyed painting, but I also liked malting things out of day. I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen.
    That may be why I went to art school four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery. I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay.  I’m happy working by myself and being near my home.  I don’t like mass-produced things, for they are made by machines and are all the same. I think crafts(手工艺) are very important and crafts persons(手艺人)make things cleverly with hands. They make our lives colorful. When I left school, I got some money.  I hope to become a full-time craftswoman. This workplace is small, but I wish tot: move to a larger one next year.
    1. The writer went to the art school at the age of___________
    2. The writer is talking about her workplace_____________
    A. unhappily          B. hopefully
    C. seriously          D. angrily
    3. From the passage we know that the writer prefers
    A. a long way to work
    B. group work
    C. a small workplace
    D. something different
    4. What does "mass-produced" mean in Chinese?
