What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist(牙医)may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first.In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.

The simplest thing to do is put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk.Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth.He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液).He also tried, just drying the teeth in the open air.He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons.The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液)or stored in the air for one hour.Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped-off the teeth.Dr.Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.

The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth.However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school.

The next best thing was milk.But Dr.Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽)in the mouth.For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting.So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth)to a dentist.

What’s in a name? Well, apparently, our general happiness. Psychologists say that what we are called has a direct connection with our well-being (幸福).
     Those called Judy and Joshua are the happiest, while Lynn or Ben is likely to be the unhappiest, according to research. Psychologist Dr David Holmes found that this might due to the association(联想)that others made with the name. Hearing the name Judy may make them think of actress Judi Dench or TV presenter Judy Finnigan, people who are seen as good natured and happy. On the other hand, people think Paulines are unhappy because of the character Pauline Fowler from the TV programme East Enders. The research claims that this association influences the person with the name and so their personality becomes shaped to fit it. Dr David Holmes said, "This also has some relation with the original meaning of the name. For example, the original meaning of Judy is 'praised’."
     Certain names also work well in certain aspects of life. In the workplace Richard and Judy are happiest, while those called Ruth and Carly are happiest in relationships. At the other end of the scale the unhappiest workers are Stuart and Liz, with the unhappiest in relationships being Frank and Harriet.
       Dr Holmes said, "The relation we have with certain names, particularly important namesakes(同名者), also shapes how we see ourselves and so may have an effect on our confidence. Names are like product brands in having a powerful effect on attitudes and should therefore be chosen with care."
      "Other names are connected with being brave, outgoing or serious. Therefore, many celebrities change their names to ones which reflect these characteristics. This, in turn, influences parents when they choose names for their babies," said Dr Holmes, "however, names connected with ordinary people are seldom chosen for their babies".
【小题1】Which of the following is NOT a reason why Judy is a good name?

A.The association people make with it.
B.Its original meaning.
C.The high number of famous people who are called Judy.
D.The personalities of famous Judys.
【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following names are better?

【小题3】The reason why names should be chosen carefully is that___________.
A.good names can make us succeed.
B.names can affect how we see ourselves
C.names can tell us what we should do
D.good names can show others who we are
【小题4】The author may continue the passage with__________.
    
A.names and product brandsB.famous people’s names
C.parents ‘choices of baby namesD.names and personality
【小题5】What’s the main idea of this passage?
    
A.How to choose a good name for babies.
B.How to achieve success by changing a good name.
C.The relation between names and success.
D.The relation between names and happiness.

“Last week,” Dr. P said “I was invited to a doctors’ meeting at the R. Hospital. In one of the rooms a patient, an old man, got up from his bed and moved slowly towards me. I could see that he hadn’t long to live, but he came up to me and placed his right foot close to mine on the floor.”
“Frank!” I cried with surprise. He couldn’t answer as I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time keeping his foot close to mine.
My thoughts raced back more than thirty years—to the dark days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The scene was an air-raid shelter (防空洞), in which I and about a hundred other people slept every night. Among them were Mrs. West and her son Frank, who lived nearby. Sharing wartime problems, we got to know each other very well. Frank interested me because he was not normal (正常的). He had never been normal, ever since he was born. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had less of a mind than a baby has. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, able woman, as she had to be of course, because Frank depended on her completely. He needed all the attention of a baby.
One night a policeman came into our shelter and told Mrs. West that her house had been all destroyed. That wasn’t quite true, because the West went on living there for quite some time. But they certainly lost nearly everything they owned.
When that kind of thing happened, the rest of us helped the unlucky ones. So before we separated (分别) that morning, I stood beside Frank and measured my right foot against his.
They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a spare pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. As soon as he saw me, he came running—and placed his right foot against mine. After that, he always greeted (问候) me in the same way.
【小题1】How did Dr P know that the patient was Frank?

A.He was told that Frank was in the hospital.
B.He was invited to study Frank’s illness.
C.Frank greeted him in a special way.
D.Frank’s name was written on the door.
【小题2】When and where did Dr. P first meet Frank?
A.At the R Hospital about ten days before.
B.In an air-raid shelter during the war.
C.In Mrs. West’s house in 1941.
D.In London after the West’s’ house was destroyed.
【小题3】The unlucky ones mentioned by the doctor were __________.
A.those who suffered from illness.
B.those who were killed during the war
C.those who slept in the air-raid shelter.
D.those whose homes were destroyed in air-raids
【小题4】Dr. P placed his foot against Fran’s before he left the shelter.
A.to find out if Frank could put on his shoes
B.to be friendly towards Frank
C.to see if Frank’s feet were normal
D.to teach Frank to greet people in a special way
【小题5】Why did Dr P say that Mrs West had to be a strong, able woman?
A.She was over 75.
B.She needed all the attention of a baby.
C.She had to give care and thought to her son as to a baby.
D.She lost nearly everything in the war.
