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. After the accident, I had to see a doctor and go to court. When the accident happened, 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 said he had good reason to charge me and that 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.

(答案→)B 解析：本文叙述了作者在美国经历了一次交通事故，室友帮忙后向他要钱，为作者服务的医生和律师在作者付给他们钱后却只为了他的钱，而不是真心地帮他，最后，自己给自己当律师做辩护，最终作者没有拿到一分钱的赔偿而离开了美国。由此，作者认为在美国钱高于一切。【小题1】细节理解题。根据he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He said he had good reason to charge me and that if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, 他的室友知道他可能会从肇事方要来钱，故选B。【小题2】细节理解题。根据律师应该给作者负责要回肇事方的赔偿，故选D。【小题3】细节理解题。根据So when we talk about America, we should see both its advantages and disadvantages.并非美国的一切都好，故选B。【小题4】细节理解题。根据钱在美国比什么都重要，故选D。
