5．Goodbye to teeth
This all started a few months ago，when I had a dull pain in the back of my mouth，around where one of my wisdom teeth was supposed to be coming in．I thought it was a pain that I could live with for a while．
However，during the next few weeks，the pain became more intense，spreading to my teeth，gums and jaw．I was told I had seven wisdom teeth．
Yes，you read that correctly，seven-three more than a normal person．My first reaction when
I heard was to laugh．It's just my luck．My mouth wanted to do more work than it had to．
Focusing on the positive，one of the great things about having extra teeth is watching people's reactions when they find out．So far，I haven't grown tired of repeating myself．
The extra teeth are also a good excuse for me being tongue-tied．I can now blame it on my overcrowded mouth rather than my slow brain．
Of course，with wisdom teeth come the intellect jokes．My parents say my intelligence comes from my extra teeth and not my hard work．My friends agree that once the teeth are pulled，my brain will be that of a 5-year-old．
I've also thought about how I might profit from this．If only I still believed in the tooth fairy，I could make a lot of cash．Maybe I could sell my extras to someone in need．Advertisement：Seven teeth for sale，unused，in almost perfect condition．
Don't be fooled by my jokes．I am worried about having surgery．I'm also going to be sad to see the Lucky Seven go．I've developed quite an attachment to them over the past two days．Once they're removed，I'll just be normal again，and who wants that？

24．When the author found that she had three more wisdom teeth than a normal person，sheA．
A．found it quite funny
B．dealt with the pain calmly
C．was confused and anxious
D．kept it secret from others
25．The intellect jokes from the author's family and friends were intended toC．
A．persuade the author not to remove her wisdom teeth
B．advise the author to work hard to improve her intelligence
C．make fun of the author in a light-hearted way
D．let the author know why she is often tongue-tied
26．When the author came up with the idea of tooth fairy，sheD．
A．believed that her wisdom teeth would grow back
B．thought she could rely on it to make a living
C．had already made up her mind to make money
D．was deeply aware that the idea couldn't become reality

A．People's different reactions to the author's wisdom teeth
B．How the author has gotten on with her extra wisdom teeth

9．Around the world，a lot of fresh water basins lie underground．These groundwater basins are like banks．Now，changes in climate and human water usage are emptying those groundwater basins，a new study finds．And it's happening at a worrying rate．Of Earth's 37largest groundwater basins，21of them lose more water each year than they gain．The conclusion is troubling．That's according to the study coauthor Sasha Richey．About 2billion people drink water from underground water basins．Crops also need such water to grow．
People get groundwater by drilling into groundwater basins called aquifers（储水层）．Aquifers are refilled when water goes down through the soil．Scientists can know about groundwater through wells．Water levels drop as an aquifer becomes empty．This method fails to provide a global picture of changes in water levels，though．
Richey and her colleagues used data collected by the GRACE mission instead．Theses win satellites measure small changes in Earth's gravity．Changes in the density（密度） of Earth's surface cause those small changes in gravity．The emptying and refilling of groundwater basins is one way that the density of Earth's surface changes．The GRACE satellites pass over these buried basins regularly．As they do，the satellites"weigh"the mass of the water stored inside．
The researchers examined gravity changes over Earth's largest aquifers in the past ten years．Eight of the studied aquifers lost great volumes of water over that decade．The researchers considered these aquifers as"overstressed"．That means almost no water naturally went in to supersede the water being taken out．The regions of greatest concern were in the Middle East，northern Africa and northwestern India and Pakistan．
The most dried-up aquifers were in areas near large cities，in heavily agricultural areas or in dry areas．All three characteristics probably led to the extreme stress affecting the basins below central California，Richey says．California has both people and farms．It's also in a sever drought．As a result，the state's pumping of groundwater recently has greatly increased．
32．What can we learn from the finding of the new study？D
A．There are 37large groundwater basins in the world in all
B．Most of the world's groundwater basins are empty
C．Men are cautious about using underground water
D．Climate change is shrinking underground water
33．To learn about the current situation of groundwater basins，Richey and her colleaguesC．
A．collected data of aquifers around the world
B．used two satellites to study the effect of climate change
C．referred to the data about changes in Earth's gravity
D．observed the buried groundwater basins frequently
34．What does the underlined word"supersede"in Paragraph 4mean？A
A．Replace
B．Increase
C．Improve
D．Support
35．We can learn from the last paragraph that in California a lot of peopleC．
A．go to central California for water
B．don't know the importance of groundwater
C．depend on groundwater for their daily activities
D．are aware they're harming groundwater basins．

Not everyone agrees on that bad habits are. Some smokers aren’t think smoking is a bad habit. Young people don’t think listen to loud music on the train is also a bad habit.

Have you ever tried to get rid your bad habits? I have quit smoking or have stopped leaving thing lying around the house. I hoped other people will stop their bad habits. I get annoying when people are late for meetings or talk loudly on their phones in the public. I also think much motorists need to think about their driving habits. Perhaps I should point out their bad habits.

A young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior,” said a middle-aged man.

“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company,” said a second passenger. “That's right,” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.” Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised.”

Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman's lap interrupted, “I know his name. I call him Dad.”

1.The passengers were ______ to see the conductor's kindness to the woman and the child.

A. excited B. pleased C. interested D. surprised

2.One passenger suggested writing a letter to the company to ______.

12．ottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty．Bottled water is all over the world．But some say the planet's health，and people's health may be suffering from it．
The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true．The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said，"There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle，it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap．"Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is"really just tap water in a bottle-sometimes more clean，sometimes not．"
It is not proven that bottled water is better than tap water．Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said，"The high mineral content（含量） of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children．"Also，most bottled water doesn't have fluoride（氟化物），which can make teeth stronger．Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water，and some say that's behind the recent rise in bad teeth．
Storing is another problem．Placed near heat，the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals（化学物质） into the water．
According to the Environmental Protection Agency，some 2.7million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year．The plastic can take between 400and 1，000years to break down．
In terms of energy use，plastic bottles are also not cheap．One report said that if water and soft drink bottlers had used 10percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles，they would have saved about 72million gallons of gas．
So，if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the Earth，you can take the following steps．
●Drink from your tap．Unless your government warns against this，it should be fine．
●Get a container（容器）．Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container，and clean it between uses．
●Keep it cool．Don't drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun，don't store it near chemicals，and don't reuse plastic bottles．
●Choose glass containers over plastic if possible．When finished，recycle!
