1 . The time and money that doctors spend on their medical education are probably one reason for this problem.
A visit to a doctor’s office costs from fifteen to fifty dollars. It is impossible to pay for the medical care they need. 2 . Most doctors, however, disagree. They say that they were required to study medicine for a long time. Tuition(学费) for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is necessary for most medical students to borrow money from a bank to pay their tuition. 3 , young doctors need a lot of money for their work. 4 .

Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie. A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.
Dr. Robert G. Newby, a professor of sociology, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women. “Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,” he says. “Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good. .”
Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone’s eyes like men.
Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently. “. They plan better,” Callender notes. “They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end.” Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation.
.
Dr. Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.
“ .Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything saids needs to be true.” he says.
A.Be truthful at any cost. |
B.Men also lie to each other. |
C.Everyone lies from time to time. |
D.Women are much more careful in their lies. |
E. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.
F. He lies about almost everything, even when he doesn’t have to.
G. Men are more likely to step outside of their relationships than women.

Ryan Howes, a clinical psychologist from California, says "Forgiveness is a sensitive act that can feel like it opens us up to more pain. But we need to have a way to process and let go of the effects of injury, or we risk serious physical and emotional consequences."
People who forgive tend to have better relationships, feel happier and more optimistic, and overall, enjoy better psychological well-being.It's a difficult process.
There's no single guidebook for forgiveness, though several experts sell their own methods.
Howes suggests focusing on four elements:
Express the emotion. Let yourself feel hurt and angry. Express it to the person who made you feel that way.Write a letter; you don't need to send it. Shout your emotions at the top of your lungs while you're in the car, alone, with the windows down.
__ We want explanations ?even if we don't agree with them. "Was it a misunderstanding? Were you mad at me? Some sort of cognitive framework (认知框架) is necessary, even if you don't like the reason."
Rebuild safety.That might mean an apology, reassurance from the person in question, distance or stronger boundaries.
Let go. Perhaps it's the hardest part: making a conscious decision not to hold a grudge (怨恨).
If you're in a relationship, this means not bringing up past wrongs. By letting go, you give up
your role as the victim and become equals again.
A.Otherwise, talk to a friend or even an empty chair |
B.Control your feelings |
C.Understand why |
D.Before you forgive, you need to feel reasonably sure that the act won't reoccur |
E.Still, no one ever said forgiveness was easy
F.It's a promise to yourself to stop feeling hurt and to fully move on
G.You may feel helpless, or like life is meaningless

An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician_________________________________
There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and the talents of other students in our school._____________________________
Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.______________________________
Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio._______________________________
The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming. Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, which underscore funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me._________________________________
The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. New jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.
