Several interesting American museums tell about health subjects. One is the Doctor Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry. It is at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. That is where the first college in the world to train dentists began. The museum tells about the history of the medical treatment of teeth. Visitors can see some frightening devices that once were used to remove infected (受感染的) teeth. They also can see sets of teeth made of animal bone. They were made for a famous American -- the first President, George Washington.
Most people do not consider a visit to the dentist their idea of a good time. However, the director of the museum says he wanted to make the museum a fun place to visit. He says he also wants to teach visitors about the importance of taking care of their teeth.
Another museum collects devices that help people hear. The Kenneth W. Berger Hearing Aid Museum is at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. The museum has more than three-thousand hearing aids from around the world. They include old and strange devices. Some hearing aids were made to look like other objects. That is because in the past many people did not want anyone to know they were wearing a hearing aid.

A man and his girlfriend just got married. The husband didn’t talk much but he was a steady man. The wife was pretty and dreamy.  Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, “I read in a magazine about how we can  36  our marriage. Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit   37   with the other. Then, we can place them on the table to discuss how we    38   them together and make our life even happier.”
“Are you sure you are about to do this?” the husband sighed and    39  . So each of them went to a(n)   40   room and thought about the things that annoyed them about the other for the rest of the day.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their    41   .
“I’ll start,” offered his wife eagerly. She    42   her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill 3 pages. She read all three pages to her husband and seemed to be quite pleased with her hard “work”. After hearing that, the husband stated   43  , “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the   44  that you are. I don’t want you to   45  anything for me.”
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for and his   46  of her without any conditions, turned her head and wept. At that moment, she came to understand the saying: “Beauty lies in the lover's eyes”.
In life, there are enough time when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go  47  for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wonderful things before us? If you are accustomed to judging people, you have no time to love them.

Attitude is an internal(內(nèi)在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual(個人). Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.
The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas-all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(獲得) throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.
Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.
Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single events, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.
小題1:According to the passage, attitudes        .
A．come from different situations in one’s life
B．a(chǎn)re largely affected by one’s behavior
C．remain unchanged in one’s daily life
D．could be chosen according to one’s will
小題2:The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show        .
A．people often make mistakes when they are not noticed
B．people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds
C．particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action
D．a(chǎn)n individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?
A．Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.
B．Attitudes learned in danger will last no more.
C．Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea.
D．Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Differences of Attitudes.B．Nature(本質(zhì)) of Attitude.
C．Choices of Attitudes.D．Changes of Attitude.

Can feeling of nostalgia(懷舊) be good for you? Or is it unhealthy to have a strong love for the past?
For years, medical experts have studied nostalgia and the reasons for it. Many experts warn that too much nostalgia is harmful. They say living in the past shows that a person is unhappy with his present life. These feelings keep the person from living his life to its fullest.
　　However, experts say it is normal to love the past sometimes. In fact, a little nostalgia can enrich a person’s life.
　　Dr. Louise Kaplan has written several books about nostalgia. She says these feelings often begin when a young person is between 13 and 19 years old.
　　“This is the time when you must face the loss of your childhood, “Kaplan says. “You see your new life is easily destroyed. But you think romantically about a golden past. You remember your childhood as a time when life is perfect.”
　　These feelings continue as the person gets older, Kaplan adds. She says many grown persons have a hard time keeping up with changes in the modem world, so they think back to their younger years. At that time the world seemed simple and more harmless.
　　Kaplan says these feelings do not always actually exist. The good old days did not always exist. The good old days weren’t always good. However, she says nostalgia can be helpful, if used properly.
　　“Feelings of nostalgia can cause you to remember a time when you had high hopes and dreams, “Kaplan says. “It might give you the strong wish to catch those dreams today in your past life.” She adds that nostalgia can prevent you from “cutting yourself off from your aim”.
小題1:Feeling of nostalgia ______.
A．can cause you to think of your past which was full of hopes and dreams
B．might cause you to try to realize the golden dream in the present life
C．fill one with hopes for the future no matter what happens
D．bring about a love for the past and a hope for the future
小題2:The reason for grown persons to think back to their past is that ______.
A．time is hard, so they cannot keep up
B．they can hardly keep up with changes in today’s world with changes
C．many grown persons have little time keeping up with changes
D．they lived in the past, of which they are always proud
小題3:Which of the following is NOT talked about in the passage?
A．Too much nostalgia is harmful to our health.
B．Nostalgia shows that a person is not satisfied with his present life.
C．Only women have feelings of nostalgia.
D．A little nostalgia can make a person’s life more colorful.
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Thoughts on Nostalgia
B．The Reasons for Nostalgia
C．Why Not Think Back to the Past
D．Nostalgia, Good or Bad

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It  1 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a  2 to go faster.

As I write this, I have half an eye on an old James Bond film that is showing on my computer. But this is a story about how I stopped watching TV and began reading again for pleasure, after ten years in which I hardly turned a page.
I suppose I was an enthusiastic reader of "literature" between the ages of nine and fourteen. I had enough time to be White Fang, Robinson Crusoe, and Bilbo Baggins and Jeeves. Of course there was room in the schoolboy's imagination for some real historical figures: Scott of the Antarctic, all of the Vikings, and Benjamin Franklin were good friends of mine.
Then, in adolescence, I began a long search for strange and radical (激進(jìn)的) ideas. I wanted to challenge my elders and betters, and shock my fellow students with amazing points of view. Of course, the only place to look was in books. I hunted out the longest titles and the authors with the funniest names; I searched the library for completely unread books. Then I found one which became my bible for the whole of 1982, it had a title composed of eleven long words and an author whose name I didn't know how to pronounce. It was really thick and looked dead serious. Even better, it put forward a whole world-view that would take days to explain. Perfect. I took it out of the library three times, proud to see the date-stamps lined up on the empty library insert.
Later, I went to university. Expecting to spend long evenings in learned discussion with clever people, I started reading philosophy. For some reason I never found the deep-thinking intellectuals I hoped to meet. Anyway, I was ready to impress with my profound (深奧的) knowledge of post-structuralism, existentialism and situationism. These things are usually explained in rather short books, but they take a long time to get through. They were the end of my youthful reading.
Working life was hard to get used to after so much theory. It was the end of books for me. There didn't seem to be much in books that would actually get things done. To do things you had to answer the telephone and work a computer. You had to travel about and speak to people who weren't at all interested in philosophy. I didn't stop reading, you can't avoid that. I read all day. But no books came my way, only manuals (操作手冊) and contracts and documents. Maybe most people satisfy their need for stories and ideas with TV and, to tell the truth, it was all I needed for ten years. In those days I only had a book "on the go" for the duration of aeroplane flights. At first I would come home and watch TV over dinner. Then, I moved the TV so I could watch it from bed. I even got a switch so I could turn it off without getting out of bed. Then, one fateful day, my TV broke and my landlady took it away.
My new TV is an extra circuit board (電路板) inside my computer. It's on a desk in front of a working chair and I can't see it from the bed. I still use it for the weather forecasts and it's nice to have it on while I'm typing this… but what to do last thing at night? Well, have another go with books.
Now, I just like books. I have a pile of nice ones by my bed and I'm reading about six at the same time. I don't want to be any of the characters. I don't care if a thousand people have already read them. I don't have to search through libraries. There are books everywhere and all of them have something to read in them. I have the strange feeling that they've been there all along, waiting for me to pick them up.
小題1:The writer enjoyed reading “l(fā)iterature” between the ages of nine and fourteen because ________.
A．he thought it was important for a schoolboy to do so
B．he was still too young to understand other books
C．he believed all the real historical figures were his friends
D．he could imagine himself being the characters in the books
小題2:“Existentialism” (in paragraph 4) is probably ________.
A．a(chǎn) library intended for teenagersB．a(chǎn) kind of books on traditions
C．a(chǎn) philosophy theoryD．a(chǎn) kind of reading skill
小題3:The main reason the writer stopped reading books was that ________.
A．he found watching TV was more interesting
B．he became too busy to read any books
C．he found books were of little use to his work
D．he had to read a lot of manuals, contracts and documents
小題4:Now the writer starts to read books again ________.
A．to find back his youth in booksB．for the pure pleasure of reading
C．so as to help kill his spare timeD．for only business purposes
小題5:Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．The Years with BooksB．Books and TV Programs
C．Don’t Judge a Book by Its CoverD．Reading Makes One Excellent

An old woman had two large pots, one on each end of a pole. She carried the pole with the pots across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full pot of water. At the end of the long walk from the well to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half-full.
For two years this happened daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection.
One day, the cracked pot spoke to the woman by the well: “I am ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled: “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your crack, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And every day while we walk back, you water them.”
“For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, I would not have this beauty.”

A．Very narrow space between two things or two parts of something.
