Years ago, I lived in a building in a town. There was another building across form mine, and it was only a few meters away. There lived a woman whom I had never met. I could see her sit by the window each afternoon, drinking or reading.
Several months later, I noticed her window was very dirty. Everything was not clear through the window. I wondered why the woman didn’t wash her window.
One sunny morning, I decided to clean up my apartment, including washing my windows. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down for a rest by the window. What a surprise!

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.”
小题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
小题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
小题3:From the story we know that saving a cancer patient        .
A.is easier than saving a babyB.is harder than saving a baby
C.is cheaper than saving a baby D.is more common than saving a baby
小题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
