6．

Dear Paul，
I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you very much．Now I'm writing to you to ask for your help．My doctor is a woman and I feel nervous about it，especially when I have to wear nothing at the doctor's office．What should I do？I'm afraid to see the doctor even if I have a bad cold．Is there something wrong with me？
Please help me．I'm looking forward to your reply．
Peter

Dear Peter，
I'm happy to hear from you and I miss you，too．
As for （关于） your trouble，there is no need to worry about it．Little kids often run around wearing nothing and feel natural about it．But as you get older，you care more about your body and want to have your own room．So it's normal to feel shy when taking off your clothes at the doctor's office．But your doctor does need to examine （检查）you to make sure if you are healthy．
To make you more comfortable，you can ask your mom or dad to come into the examine room with you．You can also ask for a gown （长袍）．Most doctors'offices have these gowns for patients．So just relax，and your doctor can examine you better to keep you in good health．
Paul

"Kaizen"，a Japanese word，is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes．During World War II，American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small，continuous improvements instead of sudden changes．After the war，the idea was brought to a rebuilding Japan．It made Japan develop fast．The Japanese called it"kaizen"，which means"improvement"．

4．Laugh and the world laughs with you，even you might live longer，a Norwegian researcher reports．
Adults who have a sense of humor live longer than those who don't find life funny，and it is more obvious（明显的） on the people with cancer，says Sven Svebak of the medical school at Norwegian University of Science and Technology．
He showed his study of about 54，000Norwegians who were followed for seven years，at the American Psychosomatic Society meeting in 2009．
At the start，patients were asked how easily they found humor in real life and how important a humor was．
The greater a role humor played in their lives，the greater their chances of being alive in the next seven years，Svebak says．Adults in the top one-quarter for humor appreciation（评价）were 35% more likely to be alive than those in the bottom quarter，he says．
In a group of 2，015who had cancer at the start，a great sense of humor cut someone's chances of death by about 70% compared with adults with a poor sense of humor，Svebak says．

18．Smartphone，poor sight
Look around and you'll see people busy on their smartphones．Smartphones do make our lives easier．But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes？
According to a study，half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average（平均）of two hours a day using them．There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness since smartphones were introduced there in 1997．
Staring（盯）at smartphones for a long time gives you dry eyes．When looking at something in the distance，your eyes automatically blink （自动眨眼）a certain number of times．However，when you look at things closer to your face，the blinking slows down．This reduces the number of tears and makes your eyes uncomfortable．Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep．If you look at a bright screen while your pupils（瞳孔）become larger，too much light enters your eyes．This can be bad for the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma（青光眼）．
While you're probably not going to stop using to your smartphone，there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes．Hold your phone at least 30centimetres away from your eyes when using it．Take a break every hour and try the following：look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on（聚焦于） the tip of your nose．Repeat this several times．It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes．
50．The article is mainly aboutB．
A．the rules to obey when using smartphones
B．the harm that smartphones do to users'eyes
C．the reason why teenager get shortsightedness
D．advantages and disadvantages of smartphones
51．Which of the following is suggested by the writer？A
A．Don't use the phone for over an hour without a break．
B．Hold the phone at least half a meter away from the eyes．
C．Turn off your phone for a couple of hours every day．
D．Look at something green far away for several minutes．
52．This article is written to advise peopleD．
A．not to buy smartphones
B．to stop using smartphones
C．to make full use of smartphones
D．to use smartphones properly．

17．Dear Sir or Madam，
Last Thursday，I traveled on the 8：00a．m．train from Glasgow to London King's Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company．
The train didn't come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow．A man at the station said sorry to us，but he didn't give us any reasons for the delay （误点）．We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes．As a result，I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours．
What's more，the service on the train was also very poor．The trip took more than five hours．Unluckily，we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train．Worst of all，something was wrong with the air conditioning （空调系统） and it got hotter and hotter in the train．Before we reached King's Cross，the temperature was over 40°C．
Because of your poor service，I feel you should pay me compensation （赔偿）．
I am looking forward to hearing from you．
Yours faithfully
David Roberson
