The University of St Andrews is the setting of royal(皇家的) love: on the grounds of this great Scottish university Prince William and Kate Middleton first met and fell in love.

More than that, St Andrews is Scotland's first university and one of the oldest universities in the English-speaking world. Built in 1413 (just after Oxford and Cambridge), over 6 hundred years, the university has been well known as one of Europe's leading and most special centers for teaching and research.

The location of St Andrews is in a small, historical town to the coast of North East Scotland. The university itself is the perfect place for learning. On average(平均) one in three people you see in the street have something to do with the university. You start to feel very quickly that you belong.

As a student in St Andrews, playing golf is a must. With the town itself known around the world as “The Home of Golf”, the university is within minutes of the ancient golf-playing ground in the world, the Old Course, just near the sea. Students can take a break from their studies by enjoying a game of golf, and the university itself is a popular place to go.

It has one of the lowest dropout(辍学) rates in the UK---98 percent of students complete their degree. Perhaps its popularity is in part because of the fact that St Andrews is good for nearly every subject. It has long been among the UK's top five.

The next morning Jim was fine. Henry seemed quite well again, too. At eleven o’clock the milkman came with the milk.

九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

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.”

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

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

3.From the story we know that saving a cancer patient ________.

A. is easier than saving a baby                           B. is harder than saving a baby

C. is cheaper than saving a baby                      D. is more common than saving a baby

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
