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？

C．had already made up her mind to make money
D．was deeply aware that the idea couldn't become reality

16．--Why will you hang that photograph on the wall？
--__________ visitors of the memorial days of the Long March，Sir．（　　）

13．There were once two brothers who lived on the 80th level．On coming home one day，they realized that the lift wasn't working and that the only choice was the stairway．
By the time they reached the 20th floor，they were breathing quickly and tired，so they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day．When they struggled to the 40th floor，the younger brother started to complain and both of them began to quarrel all the way to the 60th floor．They then realized that they had only 20more floors to climb，and decided to stop quarreling and continued climbing in peace．They silently climbed on and arrived home at last．Both of them stood calmly in front of the door．After a short rest，they suddenly realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor．
This story is a reflection of our lives．Many of us live under the high expectations of our parents，teachers，and friends．We seldom get to the things we really like and love and we are under so much pressure and stress that by the age of 20，we get tired and decide to lighten the load．
Being free of the pressure and stress，we work enthusiastically and have high hopes．But by the time we're 40years old，we start to lose our dreams．We begin to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize．Reaching 60，we realize that we have little left for complaining any more and we began to walk the final stage in peace and calmness．We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us．Only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we still have unrealized dream-a dream we gave up 60years ago．

An Oil for Life
olive
Maria Alcala of Madrid speaks for many Mediterranean people when she says that"a meal without olive oil would be a bore．"No one knows when the Mediterranean civilizations fell in love with olives．That occurred before recorded history．However，there is evidence that the cultivation （种植） of olive trees began in countries around the Mediterranean Sea in approximately 4000B．C．，and 2000years after that people in the eastern Mediterranean area began to produce oil from olives．The Mediterranean still accounts for 99percent of all world olive oil production．
From ancient times until today，the basic process of producing the oil is the same．First，whole olives are pressed hard into pieces．Then，the liquid is separated from the solids．After that，the valuable oil is separated from the water．
Many olive growers make their ancient traditions continue and still harvest the olives by hand．"We harvest in the traditional way，"says Don Celso，an olive farmer from Tuscany，Italy．"It would be less expensive to do it with machines，but it's more a social thing．Twenty people come to help with the harvest，and we pay them in oil．"
Olive oil has had a variety of uses through its long history．In ancient times，olive oil was used as money and as medicine．It was even used during war-heated up and dropped down on attackers．It is still used in religious ceremonies．It is great for protecting the freshness of fish and cheese．There are even olive oil lamp and olive oil soaps．
One important study shows that Mediterranean people have the lowest rate of heart disease among Western nations．This is partly associated with their frequent use of olive oil．Other studies show that food cooked in olive oil is healthier，and that eating olive oil twice a day reduces women's risk of getting breast cancer．The world is beginning to understand its benefits，and olive oil is no longer an unusual sight at dinner tables outside the Mediterranean area．The olive oil producing countries now sell large amounts of olive oil to countries in Europe，Asia，Africa，and North and South America．
Olive oil improves the lives of people everywhere．Its benefits，recently confirmed by science，were already understood in ancient times．Mediterranean people are happy to share their secret with the world．

10．In a special center in Florida，a capuchin monkey （卷尾猴） is born．It is named Winston，and it will be trained to be a Helping Hands monkey．Helping Hands is a program that trains monkeys to be helpers for quadriplegics （四肢瘫痪者）．
Winston's preparation begins soon after its birth when it is placed with a foster （代养的） family．The foster family spends a lot of time hugging Winston．This close human contact （接触） is important to help it develop a strong attachment to people．
Winston already has a lot of characteristics that will be useful to quadriplegics．Like humans，Winston has hands and it can pick up something as mall as a piece of thread．It has a tail that it can use to carry objects，hold on to things，and keep its balance．Monkeys such as Winston are also intelligent and they learn the same way human babies do．Being reared in a human environment will make Winston a better pupil when its real training begins．
When Winston is four years old，the foster family must return it to the training center．At the center，Winston has a patient trainer named Lisa．First she teaches Winston to fetch．She always uses the same combination of words when she wants it to perform a particular task．Each time it obeys her command，Lisa gives it a grape．Winston learns that it will get a reward if it exhibits the correct response．
After six months Winston can put a videotape into the VCR．It can go to the refrigerator，get its owner a drink，and pick up anything that is dropped．It is ready to work in the home of a quadriplegic．

17．Speed-reading is a necessary skill in the Internet age．We skim over articles，e-mails and We Chat to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text．Surrounded with information from our electronic devices，it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word，line by line．But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly，listing benefits beyond the intelligent stimulation．
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington，New Zealand，where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smart phones．They sink into comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour．Unlike traditional book clubs，the point of the slow reading club isn't exchanging ideas about a certain book，but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet，relaxed environment．According to the Journal，the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers who miss the old-fashioned way of reading before the Internet and smart phones．
Slow readers，such as The Atlantic's Maura Kelly，say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind，improves concentration，reduces stress levels and deepens the ability to sympathize（共鸣，同感）．Another study published last year in Science shwed that reading novels helps people understand other's mental states and beliefs，a fundamental skill in building relationships．Yet technology has made us less attentive readers．Screens have changed our reading patterns from the staight and information left-to-right sequence to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information．Reading text punctuated（加标点符号）with links leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text．The Internet may hve made us stupider，says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian．Because of the Internet，he says，we have become very good at collecting a wide range of interesting news，but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back，reflect，and relate all these facts to each other．
Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted，straight pattern，in a quiet environment free of distractions．Aim for 30minutes a day，advises Kelly from The Atlantic．"You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments，you pick up a meaningful work of literature，"Kelly said．"Reach for your e-reader，if you like．Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy，not less substantive，and also ensure you'll never lose your place．"
24．The book club in Wellington mentioned in Paragraph 2showsA．
A．the new trend of slow reading
B．the decline of electronic devices
C．the importance of exchanging ideas
D．the increasing number of club readers
25．According to Patrick Kingsley，people are stupider partly because ofD．
A．a non-stop reading pattern
B．the straight，left-to-right screen
C．wide range of interesting news
D．the lack of reflection
26．According to the passage，slow readingA．
A．contributes to understanding among people
B．promotes the current technology advances
C．provides people with a quiet environment
D．cures the memory loss of elderly people
27．What's the best title for the passage？B
A．Benefit of Reading Clubs
