    I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.

    After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very thankful 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 surprised. He had good reason tochargeme, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(负责的) for my injury(受伤), I'd have to have a good lawyer(律师). And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair(公平的) that I should pay him. But every day 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 has ten lines, and it cost me $215.

    My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he didn't want to see 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 dismiss 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(保险) company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

    Emergencies(紧急情况) don't happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.

    In 1968, the Untied States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968 in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.

    Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it's 959. If you're not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.

When to call

    Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden illness, etc.

When in an emergency call

    When you dial the 911 operator(接线员), it's always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what's happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?

Don't hang up(挂断)!

    If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it's OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.

    A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial(快速拨号) function.
