Every time he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席) , the students would be worried, for he was seldom pleased with their answers. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. Now a student came into the exam room and sat before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy for him to pass the exam.The student was asked to describe an illness. His answer was OK. Then Mr. Smith asked about the cure for the illness, and the student, too, gave a quick answer. "Good," said Mr. Smith, "and how much will you give the patient?" "A full spoon," answered the student."Now you may go out and wait for what you can get," said Mr. Smith. At the same time the committee discussed the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student realized that there was something wrong with his last answer. "A full spoon is too much," he thought to himself. Very worriedly he opened the door of the room and cried, "Mr. Smith, I've made a mistake. A full spoon is too much for the patient. He can take only five drops." "I'm sorry boy," said Mr. Smith coldly, "But it's too late, Your patient has died."46. Why were all the students afraid of Mr. Smith?A. Because he was always strict with them.B. Because he often laughed at them when they were in trouble.C. Because he never listened to them carefully when they answered his questions.D.

We can guess that the student _______.A. received a good mark at lastB. failed the exam at lastC. passed the exam at lastD. would be no longer afraid of Mr. Smith from then onBDuring all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to theother side of the island, I could see the other islands, and I said to myself. "Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day."So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe(独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn't I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn't move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn't move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.I kept food and tools at both my houses, and also wild goats. There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats' milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn fields. And so many years went by.49.

Why didn't the writer use his first canoe?A. Because it was too small for a long journey.B. Because it was too heavy to get down to the sea.C. Because there was something wrong with it.D.

From the story, we can learn that _______.A. the writer tried to make his stay comfortable on the islandB. the writer had nothing to do on the wild islandC. the writer tried to escape in the second canoe, but failedD. the writer was in prison on the island, losing his freedomCWant to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.Compared (比较) to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely (可能) to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, said by the researchers from New York University."It seems that positive (积极的) feelings may reduce the danger of illness," said thestudy's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.In this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illnesses are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health: look on the bright side more often.52. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?A. Cohen from New York University did the research.B.
