She promised a doctor a lot of money if he could make her see again. “If you fail”, she said, “ you will get nothing,” The doctor agreed with her.The doctor soon discovered what was wrong with her, but he decided not to cure her right away. Instead, each time he visited, he secretly took some of her things. When he had taken everything that he wanted, he cured her blindness and sent her a large bill. Now when the old woman could see again she noticed that all her things had gone and she refused to pay the bill. So the doctor took her before a judge.

can’t see any of the things in my house.”

(答案→)C
解析：
1，C 推理判断题，第三行第四行中，“The doctor soon discovered ……some of her things.”医生很快发现了问题所在，但是他并没有很快治疗她，相反，他每一次去治病都偷偷带走一些东西。
2，A 推理判断题，这位女士看到她家的东西都没有了后，她对法官说她看不到她房间里的东西了，所以医生不该索要费用。B.greedy，贪婪的。C. Cruel，残酷的；残忍的；引起痛苦的。D. Dishonest，不诚实的。
3，C 推理判断题，医生很快发现了病因，却没有立即给患者治病，还拿走了患者家的东西。是个骗子，所以选B。
4，C 猜测题意题，诉诸于法官，case在这指的是案件;诉讼
5，D,事实细节题，最后一句，医生没有拿到治疗费，灰溜溜的离开了。
