The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching. And I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork?” I was puzzled.
The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
小题1:Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?
A.Cheerful.B.Nervous.C.Satisfied.D.Upset.
小题2:What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?
A.The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B.The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.
C.The surroundings of the dentist’s office.
D.The laughing assistant of the dentist.
小题3:Why did the author suddenly smile?
A.Because the dentist came at last.
B.Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
C.Because she could relax in the chair.
D.Because the assistant kept comforting her.
小题4:What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

Twenty-first century humanity has mapped oceans and mountains, visited the moon, and surveyed the planets. But for all the progress, people __ don’t know one another very well.
That brings about Theodore Zeldin’s “  2  of conversation” — events   3  individuals sit in pairs with persons they don’ t know for three hours of  4  talk designed to help people know better about each other.
Mr. Zeldin heads Oxford Muse, a l0-year-old foundation based on the  _5  that what people need is not more information, but more inspiration and encouragement.
The “feast” in London looks  6 at politics or events, but at how people have felt about work, relations among the sexes, hopes  7   fears, enemies and authority, the shape of their lives. The “menu of _8  ” includes topics like “How have your concerns changed   9  the years?” Or, “What have you done against the past?”
As participants gathered, Zeldin opened with a speech: that despite  _10  communications like QQ and MSN in a globalized age, issues of human heart   11 . Many people are lonely, or occupied in dealing with their daily businesses that discourage knowing the _ 12 _ of one another. “We are trapped in _ 13 _ conversations and the whole point now is to think, which is sometimes painful,”he says. “But   14 _ interaction is what separates us from other species, __15  maybe dogs that do have interactions with humans.”
The main rules of the “feast”: Don’t   16 _ with someone you know or ask questions you would not answer. The only awkward moment came when the multi-racial crowd of people of different ages, in sun hats, ties and   __17_, looked to see   18  they would talk with for hours.   19  15 minutes later, everyone was seated and talking, continuing full force until organizers interrupted them 180 minutes later.
Some said they felt free to talk on   20   topics. Thirty-something Peter, from East London, said that “it might take weeks or months to get to the level of interaction we suddenly opened up.”

The Healing
Jim and his wife, Connie, were shocked by the loss of their four-month-old son—Joshua, whose life was taken by SIDS—sudden infant death syndrome.

How difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it. Your attitude to change can make the whole transformation process much easier.
Imagine change as a pair of shoes and this will help you understand change and how it works. I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life. A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really don’t want to get rid of them.
You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, but you don’t want to wear them because you are comfortable with your current pair. Besides, the new pair may hurt your feet, give you blisters(水疱) or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist the new shoes. However, you know that this new pair would be much better for your feet, and after the initial discomfort they would probably be even more comfortable, yet you still resist.
Do you know I’m doing this now? I’m wearing my comfortable shoes and they feel good. They have a hole in each heel, and the sole is starting to fall off, but I’m persisting in wearing them.
This describes change exactly; change of our habits, change of our thought patterns. We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable. Yet once we get over the initial pain of the transformation, the new pattern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes.
小题1:Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?
A.They have much emotion in the old ones.
B.They are more comfortable.
C.New shoes always harm the feet.
D.They look better than the new ones.
小题2: According to the passage, we know that people ______.
A.don’t realize the benefit of the new shoes very well
B.are positive and open-minded to accept new things
C.actually know the change will finally be good for them
D.don’t accept new patterns because they are not good
小题3: What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Once we form a habit, it’s difficult to change it.
B.Most people pay more attention to the future life.
C.One’s attitude towards something is usually traditional.
D.The more often we change, the better our life will be.

They say that soon, we will be able to receive more than 500 television networks on cable or by satellite. Some people think that it’s useless to have that many channels. Their usual criticism(批评) goes something like this: "I already get more channels on my TV than I have time to watch. No one needs to see that much TV. There’s not enough time in the day to watch all that!"They also say that most of what’s on television now isn’t worth watching in the first place.
I think they’re missing the point. If the local library wanted to add another 5,000 books, would we say, "That’s silly, we’ll never have time to read all those books"? The point is that we would have more choices.
I don’t believe that most people should watch more television. And if we had 500 or even 1,000 channels to choose from, we wouldn’t have to spend more time watching TV. We would, however, have more programs to choose from. That means that the quality of our viewing time would be improved.
I think the more channels we have, the better. Give me more choices! If they’re not worth my time, I’ll just hit the "off" button.
小题1:The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.
A.make a suggestion B.express an opinion
C.give important information D.complain about cable television
小题2:From the passage we know that the author wants to ______.
A.read more booksB.rent more TV sets
C.have more choices D.watch more sports
小题3:The number of television channels is ______.
A.increasing fast
B.decreasing fast
C.never going to be more than 1,000
D.the same as that of books in the library
小题4:To make his point, the author compares the development of TV networks to that of ______.
A.schoolyardsB.computersC.libraries D.satellites
小题5:What does the phrase "hit the 'off’ button" refer to?
A.Go to the library. B.Switch over the TV channels.
C.Turn off the TV.D.Have more TV networks.
