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!
24.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?
A.Cheerful.
B. Nervous.
C. Satisfied.
D. Upset.
25.What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?
A.The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
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.
26.Why did the author suddenly smile?
A.Because the dentist came at last.
B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.
B.Because she could relax in the chair. D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.
27.What did the author learn from her experience most probably?
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.
C
Many Americans think of driverless cars as a technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved(服务不周到) by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation(创新).
A retirement community in San Jose, Calif., which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be
unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.
When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.
In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of automatic vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.
Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be
the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.
28.What’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?
A.Curious.
B. Doubtful.
C. Indifferent.
D. Optimistic.
29.What is the modified Ford Fusion?
A.A kind of autonomous vehicle.
B. A fleet of driverless taxis.
C. A road for driverless cars.
D. A retirement community.
30. What are examples in California and Michigan
to prove?
A. Driverless cars’disadvantages.
B. Governments’right decisions.
C. Benefits to the aged and the disabled.
D. The regulations are forward-thinking.
31. What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?
A. The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.
B. Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.
C. The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.
D. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.
D
Parents should stop blaming themselves because
there’s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain time a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.
I’ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling(懒散地躺) himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. “I don’t know what to do with him these days,”she said. “He’s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”
He hasn’t forgotten them. He’s just decided that
he’s not going to use them. She confessed(坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.
Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, “I don’t like your dress; it’s ugly.”One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home.
“Where did we go wrong?”her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, they only belong to the rest of those unfortunate parents.
32.This text is most probably written by ______.
A. A specialist in teenager studies.
B. a headmaster of a middle school
C. a parent with teenage children
D. a doctor for mental health problems
33. The underlined word “it”in the second
paragraph refers to ______.
A. the change from good to bad that’s seen in a child
B. the way that parents often blame themselves
C. the opinion that a child has of his parents
D. the advice that parents want their children to follow
34. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as ______.
A. lazy
B. quiet
C. unusual
D. rude
35. From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______.
A. pay no attention to them
B. are too busy to look after them
C. have come to hate them
D. feel helpless to do much about them

Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it's time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them?
___36____ Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard？But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. ___37___ Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index(食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend！Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡).
__38___ Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it's hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
___39_____ That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
___40_____
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it's not schoolwork, you're still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A. Play games.
B. Ask for more advice.
C. So "a" should be half the height of a capital "A".
D. You've been writing since you were a little kid.
E. Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

Failure is common in our life. No one can avoid them. When we fail to do something, we often feel very depressing. Sometimes failure can make us lose hearts. So no one are willing to fail. On a contrary, success can bring us a sense of pride. If one enjoys his continuous success in his career, he will have confidence to himself. Therefore, failure is not fearful and failure is the mother of success. A failure doesn’t mean one can never be
successfully. Those who are always afraid of failure they will never succeed. In a word, as long we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we’ll be sure to succeed.

Dear Sharon,
I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin. I am quite interested in it. I am convinced that I'm fit for it. I have been learning Mandarin for many years. So I'm confident that I can help you with Mandarin.
It is evident that learning Mandarin takes time.
If you want to learn it well, you are supposed to spend much time practicing Mandarin every day. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Besides, you can also read some books in Chinese, see some Chinese films and listen to some Chinese radio programs. Speaking and listening are of vital importance for language learning. In your post, you say you can teach English as a reward. By
coincidence, I'm eager to improve my English. We can contact each other by video chat every night for half an hour in English and half an hour in Chinese.
I sincerely wish we both could make progress. I would appreciate it if you could reply to me at your earliest convenience.
Yours
Li Hua。
