The poor little girl had a very serious disease(疾病)and was dying. The doctor haddone his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a bloodtransfusion(输血)from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before andhad developed the antibodies(抗体)to fight the illness.The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he wouldlike to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑) for a moment. Then he took a deepbreath and said, Yes, Ill do it if it can save Lisa.As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He lookedat her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the color returned to his sisters face,6his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid.

In the past, only people with a good dealof money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the pastbecause there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world. That is to say, people nowhave more money for travelling.

The time and money that doctorsspend on their medical education is probably one reason for this problem.A visit to a doctors office costs from 15 to 50 dollars. Its so expensive. Many people in theUnited States think that doctors are overpaid. However, most doctors disagree. They say that theywere asked to study medicine for a long time. Tuition for many years of medical education costs a8lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from thebank to pay their tuition. Because their money must be repaid to the bank, young doctors need toreceive a lot of money for their work. So they charge(收费)people high prices for medical care.Therefore the cost of medical care in America is high. Because high tuition is one cause ofhigh costs, one way to lower costs would be to have medical school that are free or have lowtuition.38.
