7．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!
28．Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning？D
A．Cheerful．
B．Nervous．
C．Satisfied．
D．Upset．
29．What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist？A

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．
30．Why did the author suddenly smile？B
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．
31．What did the author learn from her experience most probably？C
A．Strike while the iron is hot．
B．Have a good word for one's friend．
C．Put oneself in others'shoes．
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed．

18．Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word？If you can，you are unusual．Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like．I am sure you just spent most of your time eating，sleeping and crying．As you grow older，you were awake more of the time．It took you r parents more time to play with you and talk to you．You watched and listened curiously．You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things．
     Then you began to try making the sounds you heard．And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing．
     On that day you came to understand the secret of language．The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing．One sound might be as good as another．But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning．Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things，can they understand each other．Then，and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE．
     After you found the secret of language，you learned words．Some of the words meant things，such as BOOKS，CHAIRS and SHOES．Some words meant doing things，such as GO and SWIM．And other words describe things，such as GOOD and DIRTY．Soon you learned to put words together to express one's idea，such as"1 want to go out and play with my friends．"This is language．By means of language people can communicate．So we say languages are means of communication．

15．To drive out your Back Pain
Is your back bothering you，and are you wondering how to get rid of your hack pain？If the phrase"Ouch，my back!"is a regular part of your life，you're not alone：65million Americans suffer from back pain．（36）F
1．Stand Better
Standing for long periods can be stressful on your lower back．If you have to stand for work，try placing one foot on a stool or other low objects．（37）AThis will help take the pressure off your lower back．Wearing cushioned shoes or standing on a thick rubber mat can also help relieve pressure when you have to stand for long hours．
2．Start Exercise Gradually
（38）GBut if you've been inactive for a while，start slowly．Begin with a low-impact exercise such as walking，stationary biking，or swimming for about 30minutes a day．Adding gentle stretching or yoga may also help your muscles．
3．Sit Comfortably
If your job requires you to sit for long periods，make sure your chair has a straight back，an adjustable seat，and armrests．（39）E If you need extra support，place a rolled towel behind the lower part of your back．Resting your feet on a low stool can also help ease back pain when sitting．
4．Choose the Best Sleep Position
Sleeping on your side is the most common sleeping position．Placing a small pillow between your knees helps keep the back in a good position．If you must sleep on your back，try using a pillow under your knees．Avoid sleeping on your stomach，as this can make back pain worse．
（40）D
Carrying extra weight on your body means more work for your lower back muscles．This is especially true if the extra pounds are around your waist．The heavier you are，the more impact there is on your back with each step．Losing weight can also help protect the muscles and joints in your knees and hips．

A．Then change feet every so often．
B．Don't push with straight arms．
C．Your work station can affect your back's health．
D．Keep Your Weight Down
E．Some people prefer more support than others．
F．Here are some ideas for you to prevent the pain．
G．Exercise is a great way to keep your back healthy．
2．In the mid-1950s，I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was was ted effort．One day，this approach threw me into embarrassment．
In Mrs．Totten's eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson，Indiana，we were learning to add and subtract decimals（小数）．
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework，which would be recited in class the following day．On most days，our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions．
Mrs．Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets．She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end．
S ince I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer．This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations．
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate．As Mrs．Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get．I tried to work it out before she got to me，but I had brain freeze and couldn't function．
When Mrs．Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14．"I…I didn't get anything，"I answered，and my face felt warm．
"Correct，"she said．
It turned out that the correct answer was zero．
What did I learn that day？First，always do all your homework．Second，in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters．Third，I would never make it as a mathematician．
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one．
32．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate？D
A．It is wise to value one's time．
B．It is important to make an effort
C．It is right to stick to one's belief．
D．It is enough to do the necessary．
33．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always．A
A．asked questions in a regular way
B．walked up and down when asking questions
C．chose two or three questions for the students
D．requested her students to finish their usual questions
34．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because．B
A．the class didn't begin as usual
B．several students didn't come to school
C．he didn't try hard to make his estimate
D．Mrs．Totten didn't start from the back of the class
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？D
A．An Unforgettable Teacher      
B．A Future Mathemati cian
C．An Effective Approach         
D．A Valuable Lesson．
12．In the inner circle of Stonehenge，there are about 80stones，each ______ up to four tons．（　　）

19．Today，one can trace Venice's rich past from its buildings．Most cities can claim at least a handful of outstanding churches，palaces or houses of historical interest，but in Venice very nearly everything is remarkable，from the magnificent Piazza San Marco （St．Mark's Square ） and the palaces that line the Grand Canal to the centuries-old homes of simple fishermen．It would be easy to say that the city itself is an enormous museum if it were not for the fact it is so obviously alive．
At first sight，Venice looks unbelievably permanent，an apparently complete Renaissance （文艺复兴） city so untouched by time that there seems no reason why it should not go on forever．Now the city is slowly sinking，as the clay on which it is built loses its elasticity （弹性） and the massive wooden piles rot （腐烂） away．Flooding，such a rare occurrence a hundred years ago now happens several times each winter．
The damage caused by the flooding is immense，and the fabric of the ancient buildings is now being further damaged by pollution from the mainland town as well as by the wash produced by the constantly increasing number of motor boats that speed up and down the canals．
A further threat to Venice comes from the Venetians themselves，some of whom are not particularly interested in preserving the city as one of the wonders of the world and would prefer to see it modernized．
"What better place is there for the meeting of dear friends？See how it glows with the advancing summer； how the sky and the sea and the rosy air and the marble of the palaces all glimmer and melt together．"Thus wrote the famous author Henry James，of Venice，which provided the setting for his story"The Aspern Papers"，in the nineteenth century．The Splendor of Venice has captured the imagination of artists for centuries---and not just of the great painters and novelists．How tragic now that she is faced with the double threat of man and nature．Venice indeed will be lucky to survive．
25．Venice proudly boastsD．
A．its beautiful churches，palaces and houses
B．its unique St．Mark's Square and the Grand Canal
C．its picturesque waterscape
D．its marvelous ancient buildings
26．The writer thinks thatA．
A．Venice can be regarded as a big museum
B．Venice is no longer a big museum
C．Venice is different from a big museum

27．From the fourth paragraph，we know thatD．
A．Venetians are eager to modernize their city
B．Venetians value the Grand Canal
C．Venetians don't care about any threat to the Grand Canal．
D．the threat of man is greater than the threat of nature
28．In the last paragraph，the writerB．
A．is very confident that Venice will survive

16．Well，I finally decided to enter the digital age．My kids have been annoying me； my book group made fun of me； and the last straw was when my car broke down，and I was stuck on the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help．But when I went to the cell phone store，I almost changed my mind．The phones are so small that I can't see the numbers．They all have cameras，computers and a Global Positioning System that's supposed to spot me from space．All I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids!And the rate plans（资费套餐）!They were complex，confusing，and expensive!I'd almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone．Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind．The phone fits easily in my pocket，but when it opens it reaches from my mouth to my ear．The display is large，so I can actually see who is calling．With a push of a button I can control the volume（音量），and if I don't know a number，I can simply push one for a friendly，helpful operator that will look it up and even dial for me．The Jitterbug also reduces background noise，making the sound loud and clear．There's even a dial tone，so I know the phone is ready to use．

8．Here is an astonishing and significant fact：Mental work alone can't make us tired．It sounds absurd．But a few years ago，scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue （疲劳）．To the amazement of these scientists，they discovered that blood passing through the brain，when it is active，shows no fatigue at all!If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer，we would find it full of fatigue toxins（毒素） and fatigue products．But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein，it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day．
So far as the brain is concerned，it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning．The brain is totally tireless．So what makes us tired？
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional（情绪的） attitudes．One of England's most outstanding scientists，J．A．Hadfield，says，"The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin．In fact，fatigue of purely physical origin is rare．"Dr．Brill，a famous American scientist，goes even further．He declares，"One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems．"
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired？Joy？Satisfaction？No!A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness，worry，a feeling of not being appreciated---those are the emotions that tire sitting workers．Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue．We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body．
32．What surprised the scientists a few years ago？C
A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood．
B．Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work．
C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue．
D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins．
33．According to the author，which of the following can make sitting workers tired？B
A．Challenging mental work．
B．Unpleasant emotions．
C．Endless tasks．
D．Physical labor．
34．What's the author's attitude towards the scientists'idea？A
A．He agrees with them．
B．He doubts them．
C．He argues against them．
D．He hesitates to accept them．
35．We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic，sitting workers need toB．
A．have some good food．
B．enjoy their work
C．exercise regularly              
D．discover fatigue toxins．
