At 65，the husband hurriedly replied："I missed a dental  （5）C．"
At 75，the wife did not ask the husband any more，the husband was  （6）Ain front of the very sick wife．Remembering the question the wife used to ask him，this time he asked the wife the same question．The wife，with a smile and  （7）Dlook，replied："In this life．I did not miss having you!"
The husband was full of tears．He always thought that they could be together  （8）C．He was always busy with work and trifles．So much so he had never been （9）Ato his wife．The husband hugged the wife tightly and said："Over 50years，how I had allowed myself to miss your deep  （10）B for me．"
In the busy city life，there are many people who are always busy with work．These people revolve （圍繞…轉(zhuǎn)動） their lives around their jobs．These people  （11）B all their time and health to meet the social expectations．They are  （12）D to spend time on health care．They miss the opportunity to be with their children in their growing up．They neglect the loved ones who  （13）B for them，and also their health．

7．[1]Joshua Lionel Cowen，a New York inventor，was born in l 877．In 1 900，he created maybe the most popular Christmas toy of the last century-little electric trains that circle Christmas trees．More than 50 million Lionel train sets have been sold worldwide，and today Lionel produces more than 300 miles of track each year．

4．Chinese Dinner Table
Of course，the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork，but that's only superficial．Besides，in decent restaurants，you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork，if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．The real difference is that in the West，you have your own plate of food，while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares．If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time，he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes，to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．Soup then will be served （unless in Guangdong style restaurants） to be followed by staple food ranging from rice，noodles to dumplings．If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes，you should say so in good time，for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．
Perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．In formal dinners，there are always"public"chopsticks and spoons for this purpose，but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．It is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it，just leave the food in the plate．
People in China tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．When you have had enough，just say so．Or you will always overeat!
43．The real difference on dinner table between China and West is thatD．
A．You're treated to a formal dinner for the first time．
B．On Chinese dinner table，chopsticks replace knife and fork．
C．The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．
D．You have your own plate of food in West while in China everyone shares the dishes．
44．If you have a dinner in a Chinese home，in which order will the food be served？C
a．serving soup．
b．a(chǎn) set of four cold dishes．
c．staple food such as rice，noodle or dumplings．
d．the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．
A．badc          B．cabd       C．bdac        D．cdab
45．The"public chopsticks and spoons"are used toD．
A．taste different dishes
B．consume the food in the plate
C．show the friendship and politeness
D．put food into the plates of their guests
46．According to the message，the author's attitude towards Chinese dinner table isB
A．critical      B．objective    C．negative     D．positive．
