Two days before Thanksgiving, I was trying to open my mouth wide enough for a mirror and a roll of steel wire. Metal braces (牙齿矫正器)had been on my 31 for weeks, but this was the day for the wire to be adjusted. Only those who have had braces will understand the terrible 32 of being “wired”. For the next 24 hours, it felt like every tooth was being 33 slowly by a giant clawhammer (拔钉锤). 34 drinking water caused pain.
By Thanksgiving Day, I had got used to it. 35 I didn’t use my teeth, the pain was bearable. But this was a day when teeth had to 36 longer than usual. We were 37 at my grandparents’ house with relatives. The house was filled with so many pleasant 38 that we could hardly resist the food. When grandma said, “Dinner is ready!” all the kids 39 to be first in line. I was so excited that I 40 the braces in my mouth and 41 my way up to the head of the line.
I piled my plate high with my favorite corn-on-the-cob(玉米棒子)and 42 my mouth to enjoy it. The pain was 43 . I felt I would never be able to eat again. I put my plate away and ran outside in 44 .
Grandma then took my plate to the 45 . She cut all the corn off that cob and rescued me from my 46 . She handed me my plate piled high with corn. “Thanks,” I said 47 . Then I looked up and 48 a strange light in her eye, a light that is still 49 to me after more than fifty years. That was the Thanksgiving when I discovered something more 50 than good food.

A new study has found that the best way to make yourself feel happier is to think of something good that happened to you the day before.
Volunteers who were asked to remember a pleasant event from past 24 hours began to feel happier right away. Other activities such as saying “Thank you” and smiling also made volunteers feel happier, but not as much.
Professor Richard Wiseman of Hertfordshire University planned the study. He got 26,000 people to go online to try out a few different activities to make them feel happier. They were told to be nice, remember a pleasant event from the day before, give thanks or smile for 15 seconds twice a day. The volunteers did these activities for one week.
The result showed that thinking about one good thing that had happened the day before worked the best for making people happier.
The text may probably be taken from _____.
A. a personal anecdote(轶事) B. sports news
C. a history novel D. brief news
Volunteers who _____ began to feel happier right away.
A. thought of something good that happened the day before
B. were asked to remember a pleasant event from the past 24 hours

From the text we know that Richard Wiseman is a(an) _____.
A. worker B. artist C. professor D. director
The volunteers gave thanks or smile _____ a week.
A. 15 seconds B. 3.5 seconds C. 15 minutes D. 3.5 minutes
Just the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques.
From computer - equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry (条目) “next”. Then another question will be randomly (任意地) selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfied with their performance, or “score” if they want to see the result. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, student's marks are official--there is no going back.
Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices (登记处) for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day.
In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past, each examinee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.
1. Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores ______.
A. immediately on a central computer for scoring test papers
B. a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center worker
C. on the next day after they have taken the exam
D. immediately after the exam by means of the same computer
2. If an examinee is not satisfied with his performance ______.
A. he can admit defeat and give it up B. he can ask the computer to give some advice
C. he can ask another chance within a few days D. he is allowed to do it once again
3.Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that ______.
A. different exams can be taken in the same room
B. one doesn’t need to rush to the registration officer for taking an exam
C. it will be much easier to pass an examination
D. one can take an exam almost at any time of the year
4.The word denied in the last sentence most probably means ______.
A. refused B. allowed C. lost D. passed

I believe that small acts of kindness have the biggest influence on our lives. While on a vacation in Mexico with my family, I learned this valuable 36 . Our room was on the 8th floor of our hotel, so we would 37 the elevator every day. 38 other people use it ,too.
One afternoon I rode it alone. The bellboy greeted me and 39 the button for my floor.I smiled and took the elevator in 40 . The elevator stopped at the next floor, and an elderly maid 41 in with a large bundle of clean towels. I could tell she was 42 to carry the large load and was probably 43 from having worked all morning. I felt it was not my place to interfere（干涉）, so I 44 to do something to help. The bellboy, also sensing her 45 , took the heavy bundle from her arms.
The maid looked at the boy with 46 and then smiled gratefully to his 47 . They then began to speak in Spanish to each other. 48 I couldn’t understand what they were saying , I could tell by their 49 that the boy’s act of kindness had made her day. He could have ridden in silence like me. It wasn’t his 50 to help her ,but he did 51
After I came out of the elevator ,guilt overcame me as I 52 what I should have done in that situation. Why didn’t I take the towels? The boy wasn’t 53 of how his actions would affect all the people 54 his thoughtful deed. He probably doesn’t even 55 helping the woman in the elevator. To me , his small act of kindness made my day as well.
