Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient

visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most

physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in

the community. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually

charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities(operating room, tests, medicines that they use). Some

hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veteran's hospitals,

a federal government agency. Others are operated by religious orders(教会) or other non-profit groups.

Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as

hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training.

They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care for

their workers or work for the federal government's Public Health Service.

Physicians are among the best paid professionals in the United States.

In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes

of more than $ 100 000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might

earn several times that amount. Physicians list many reasons why they

deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long

and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United

States. Most would be physicians first attend college for four years,

which can cost nearly $ 20 000 a year at one of the best private

institutions. Prospective physicians then attend medical school for four

years. Tuition alone can exceed $ 10 000 a year. By the time they have

obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt.

They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in a hospital,

the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the

pay is relatively low. Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several

physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share

the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These

physicians also take care of each other's patients in emergencies.

Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of

responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite routine ones,

involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well

rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life

and death.

1. According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital

is owned by _______.

A. a church B. a corporation C. a city D. a state

2. The expenses for becoming a doctor are spent on _______.

A. schooling and retraining B. practice in a hospital

C. facilities he or she uses D. education he or she receives

3. According to the passage, how long does it take for a would-be

physician to become an independent physician in the USA?

A. About seven years. B. Eight years.

C. Ten years. D. About twelve years.

4. Sometimes several physicians set up a group medical practice mainly

because _______.

A. there are so many patients that it is difficult for one physician to take care all of them

B. they can take turns to work long hours

C. facilities may be too much of a burden for one physician to
