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 lunch 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 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!

Think for a minute. When your relationship with your spouse (配偶) hits a rocky patch, do you say he’s lo blame? If you have a had day at work，is it because you have a “hard boss”? If everything that happens in your life is someone else’s fault, John Miller, personal responsibility expert and author of QBQ (The Question Behind the Question), says you may be teaching your teen to play the blame game.
If your life centers around finger pointing, personally, you’re not accountable—you’re playing the blame game. Are you late to work only because of your kids? If you’re passed over for a promotion, it is because your boss is a“jerk (蠢人)”？Thoughts like those are classic signs of the blame game.
Parents who constantly point fingers don’t just do it to their spouses, co-workers and friends. They do it to their children too.
Paula Jackson, a mother of two in Atlanta，says she’s always found a way to get out of things by blaming other people. She’s found that most of the time the blame falls on her children. “Even if it’s something I know I’m responsible for, I’11 find myself saying, ‘Oh my kids did this’ or ‘They didn’t do that’ ,” she says.
Miller says when parents don’t accept responsibility, it causes them to lose their effectiveness as role models for their teens.“As the primary role models for our teens, when we behave poorly by blaming and complaining, we are missing the chance to have a positive and powerful impact on our kids, ” he says. “When we don’t accept responsibility and our kids see that, then they don’t have to accept responsibility. ”
25. You may be teaching your teen lo play the blame game when you .
A. blame your children often
B. blame others for something wrong
C. take full responsibility for yourself
D. quarrel with your spouse
26. What do we know about parents who constantly point fingers?
A. They seldom point fingers to their children.
B. They are easy to blame themselves.
C. They can easily blame their children too.
D. They get on well with their children.
27. Paula Jackson is mentioned in the fourth paragraph as one who .
A. often plays the blame game
B. doesn’t admit playing the blame game
C. has a good way to get out of things
D. expects too much from her kids
28. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. parents should take responsibility first
B. parents should never blame their children
C. parents should not ask kids to take responsibility
D. parents and children can share responsibility
Store shelves are filling up with so-called “green” products promising to benefit the environment. A recent argument shows that it can be as difficult for buyers to confirm such statement as for producers to defend them.
The argument concerns the Green Plug Electricity Saver. The Green Plug is supposed to prevent energy waste by electrical equipment whose constant -speed motors operate at less full load---as is especially true of older refrigerators. Research showed that such motors can be made to do the same work with less heat, noise, and power consumption just by lowering the voltage（电压）of the power supply.
John and Wyck Hay, started Green Technologies to apply that finding to home appliances. In the USA, there are more than 140 million refrigerators in use, accounting for an average of 16% of the household electric bill. Two years of research resulted in the Green Plug. Connecting between wall socket and refrigerator, the equipment contains a minicomputer that gives a motor full power (120 volts on average) for start-up, then reduces the power to 106 volts.
Older refrigerators are the most overpowered and, thus, save the most energy with a Green Plug. Refrigerators less than two years old are already energy-saving that a Green Plug actually makes them waste electricity. The higher the voltage, the larger the difference a Green Plug makes. Higher power costs shorten the payback time. The population-weighted national average is 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. But some residents in Washington State pay 1.5 cents. Some in Alaska pay 41.6 cents. Then come highly individual household differences like the number of children or refrigerator-opening age. All in all, the Green Plug should save the average consumer $20 a year.
Although the Green Plug lowered the voltage as it was designed to do, Consumer Reports , an influential magazine, questioned how quickly---if ever---electricity savings due to the plug would repay its cost. People would be better off buying a new, high-efficiency refrigerator, the magazine advised.
Consumer Reports also said that the Green Plug didn’t give a promised 25% savings worth $50 a year. The savings on the oldest model was the best at 8.6%, worth $20 a year.
Green Technologies ordered tests of the Green Plug on up to 2,800 refrigerators through next year. The company will not put that data in stores. Instead, potential buyers will call to learn how their model of refrigerator performed.
Meanwhile, there is little evidence of consumer dissatisfaction. Sales topped 45,000 units last month. The return rate is less than 0.2%.
32. The Green Plug on store shelves are due mostly to __________.
A. an increased concern about the environment
B. a demand for money-saving technology
C. the high cost of electrical power
D. the shortage of power supply
33. What do we know about the Green Plug?
A. It is especially designed for old refrigerators
B. It can’t guarantee lower electric bills
C. It works well with all home appliances
D. It doesn’t function with lower voltage
34. In the Green Plug argument, the magazine Consumer Reports __________.
A. advocates for the Green Plug
B. suggests Green Technologies never tell the truth
C. doubts the effect of the Green Plug
D. informs the public of different opinions
35. We can infer from the passage that the author ___________.
A. feels optimistic about the future of Green Plug.
B. believes the Green Plug has cheated customers.
C. encourages further investigation.
D. holds an objective attitude to the issue.
You shouldn’t keep silent when ____

Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 36 Some ways of dealing with stress—like screaming or hitting someone—don’t solve(解决) much.But other ways,like talking to someone you trust,can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

(3)Try to solve the problem.After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends,it’s time to get down to business. 39 Even if you can’t solve it all,you can solve a piece of it.
(4)Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的).Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 40

In New Year’s Eve, Christian people may have a party to send off the old year and welcoming the coming year. This may be a party with friend with the family at home and in a public place. New Year’s Day may be a public holiday and on the next day most people go back to the work.For Christians, the Christmas celebration is more similarly to Chinese New Year. It’s the time for the family get together, have special meals, exchange presents and spend some time together.

Many people think that the most popular way of communicating with other people is through the mouth. But what they don’t know is that actual communication using the mouth accounts for only around 10% (or even less) of all the means to communicate a message.
Moreover, you can never determine the truthfulness or honesty of people by what they say alone. In fact, words expressed through the mouth often do not reflect what people really think or feel. The more reliable way you can determine their true inner feelings and thoughts is by reading their body language. Everybody communicates using these gestures and if you understand the gestures and their meanings you will be able to read people and know what they are really communicating to you. One researcher even went as far as to say that we speak to hide what’s on our minds. But gestures cannot lie.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you can “see through” the emotions of other people? Let’s say you ask a person whether he can do an important task. He says “OK”. But deep inside, you are questioning yourself, “Is he really willing to do this job?” or “Does he have the confidence in finishing this task?” You can’t question him directly because that would be like belittling him. And even if you ask him those questions, his replies will not tell you what he really feels or thinks. So the most useful way is to observe his body language. Expressions like smiling, frowning, pouting, facial reddening, sweating, toe curling and sideways glances are visible hints that can help you make a right judgment.
21. According to the passage, we know _______.
A. words through the mouth are the most common way in communication
B. body language is the quickest way to help people understand each other
C. expressions are the most powerful tool to judge whether a man is confident or not
D. you may know what a person really thinks with the help of reading his body language
22. What does the underlined sentence mean in the second paragraph?
A. We can express ourselves well by body language.
B. We use words to prevent others knowing our true thoughts
C. Spoken words can fully reflect our true self.
D. We use body language to help express ourselves
23. The underlined word in the third paragraph can be replaced with ______
A．looking down upon B．speaking highly of
C．laughing at D．believing in
The opening province ________ thirteen counties and three coastal cities will quicken its
pace of economic development.
A．consists of B．making up of
C．consisting of D．which consist of
