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（固執(zhí)地）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!

試題分析：作者講述了自己牙疼去看牙醫(yī)的經(jīng)歷。牙醫(yī)為了減輕病人看病時的痛苦，在天花板上設(shè)計了一幅美術(shù)作品讓病人欣賞，由此作者感悟到：要設(shè)身處地為他人著想。
小題1:推理判斷題：根據(jù)The morning had been a disaster…Her words still hurt.（那天早上是一場災(zāi)難。我牙疼而且一直與朋友爭吵。她的話仍然傷人。）可知作者很心煩苦惱。upset“心煩的”符合題意。cheerful快樂的；nervous緊張的；satisfied感到滿意的。故選A。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題：根據(jù)What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?（什么樣的牙醫(yī)急于在如此短的時間治療一個人？D項“牙醫(yī)同意在如此短的時間為她治療”正是此句的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，符合題意，故選D。
小題3:推理判斷題： 文章倒數(shù)第二段提到…I began to understand…by her words.（開始理解朋友所說話的意思），而在文章第一段提到…The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place…stubbornly.作者與朋友爭吵了，朋友說作者的問題是不會為她著想。由此可推知作者感悟到：要要設(shè)身處地為別人著想。B項符合此意，故為正確答案。故選B。

William Henry Bragg was born at Westward，Cumberland，on July 2,1862.He was educated at Market Harboroagh Grammar School and afterwards at King William’s College，Isle of Man.Elected as a minor scholar of Trinity College，Cambridge，in 1881，he studied mathematics under the well­known teacher，Dr E．J.Routh.He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during a part of 1885，and at the end of that year he was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide，South Australia.
His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject，almost casually，making an important contribution，and then dropping it again.However，the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913～1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance，the analysis of the crystal structure by means of X­rays.It is true that the use of X­rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs.This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities，and a member of the leading foreign societies.Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930.
He was the author of many books，including Studies in Radioactivity，X­Rays and Crystal Structure，The World of Sound，Concerning the Nature of Things，Old Trades and New Knowledge，An Introduction to Crystal Analysis，and The Universe of Light.His favorite hobby was golf.After a life of astonishing productiveness，Sir William Bragg died on March 10,1942.

Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so       ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball       , Chuck Hart.         Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship and infamous      , he was a great player. In fact, Travis wasn't thinking about Hart' s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s       on the side of the box. The first indication that something was       came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was       for his amazing work in the community.
Travis’s hands       ; his heart stopped. It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be       by the other players. When he looked up into his dad' s eyes, however, Travis decided he      not tell him. "'Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes," Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
Next morning his dad drove him to school. When they       in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Travis, wait a minute, look…” his dad said       ,“Travis, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a（n）      . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, “is someone I       . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in      ?”
“No,” Travis said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)       when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Travis,       you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good       , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes       . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful       .

“Almost twelve years.” he replied,       breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well then, how long have you been away?” I asked. The man      turned and looked at me,. “Two whole days”
Two days? I was      . By the intensity of the greeting, I had       he’d been gone for at least several weeks — if not months. I know my expression      me.

The man suddenly       smiling. He looked me straight in the eye, and with power that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a        person. He told me, “Don’t    , friend …decide!” Then with wonderful smile, he and his family turned and left together.
I was still watching that special family walk just out of sight when my friend        to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without      , and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “ My future!”

Jenny was a pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl (珍珠) necklace priced at $2.50. Her mother bought the necklace for her on condition that she had to do some homework to pay it off. Jenny agreed. She worked very hard every day, and soon Jenny paid off the necklace. Jenny loved it so much that she wore it everywhere except when she was in the shower. Her mother had told her it would turn her neck green!
Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story.
One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, could you give me your necklace?”
“Oh! Daddy, not my necklace!” Jenny said. “But you can have Rosy, my favorite doll. Remember her? You gave her to me last year for my birthday. Okay? ”
“Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.
A week later, her father once again asked Jenny for the necklace after her favorite story. “Oh, Daddy, not my necklace! But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse. Do you remember her? She’s my favorite.”
“No, that’s okay,” her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. “God bless you, little one. Sweet dreams. ”
Several days later, when Jenny’s father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling. “Here, Daddy,” she said, holding out her hand. She opened it and her beloved pearl necklace was inside. She let it slip into her father’s hand.
