My tooth was aching, and Id been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you wont put yourself in my place. Cant you see t

28、hings from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornlyand felt the ache in my tooth. Id 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 lunc

29、h time, 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 wasnt he as busy as

30、the others?In the dentists 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, “Dont worry. The dentist is very good.

31、 ”“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.

32、 How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief!【小题1】 Which of the following best describes the authors feeling that morning? A. Happy. B. Nervous. C. Satisfied. D. Upset. 【小题2】 What made the author begin to doubt about the den

33、tist?A. The dentists agreeing to treat her at very short notice. B. The dentists being as busy as the other dentists. C. The surroundings of the dentists office. D. The laughing assistant of the dentist. 【小题3】 What did the author learn from her experience most probably?A. Strike while the iron is ho

34、t. B. Have a good word for ones friend. C. Put oneself in others shoes. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. BImagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard fr

35、om one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination. Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for

36、his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led. The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume (戏装), b

37、ut finally she agreed. The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation. The power of imagination need

38、not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”It doesnt mean

39、 that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge (挑战) and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run

40、wild, and dare to dream.【小题1】 What do we know about Tom?A. He was seriously illB. He was a dishonest boy. C. He was crazy about magic. D. He was Dr. Epsteins patient. 【小题2】 What can be inferred about Toms mother?A. She was a rich lady. B. She wanted to get Tom through the pain. C. She wanted Tom to

41、be a superhero. D. She refused Toms request. 【小题3】 In the last paragraph, you are advised _. A. to go through some difficult testsB. to wake up from your wild dreamsC. to become a powerful person in your mindD. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews【小题4】 What is the purpose of the passage?A. T

42、o tell us an interesting story. B. To help us make right decisions. C. To advise us to care about children. D. To encourage us to use our imagination. CFor some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born witho

43、ut the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compar

44、e the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just

45、 going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only r

46、ecently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesnt involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand ot
