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.
- 13 -
“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 being as busy as the other dentists.
B. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
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 could relaxin the chair.
C. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling. D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.
27. What did the author learn from her experience most probably?
A . Put oneself in other’s shoes. B. Have a good word for one’s friend.
C. Strike while the iron is hot. D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we have never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places
- 13 -
are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named in this way, so are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you will take better care of yourself.
28. Which of the following is what the writer doesn't say in the passage?
A. People like their friends very much if they get to know them.
B. People may never see their friends after their friends move away.
C. People can know their friends in different ways.
D. People are happy when their friends leave them.
29. If people have friends, they would live longer, because __________.
A. they feel unhappier and healthier
B. they get a lot of help from their friends
C. they take better care of themselves D. both A and C
30. This passage tells us __________.
A. that people are all friends B. how to name a place
C. how to get to know friends D. that all people need good friends
D
Samantha, or Sam, as her husband, John, called her, had left the doctor’s house looking perfect, satisfied with her appearance.
The year was 1862. It seemed that the war with the North would never come to an end. Sam’s father had left as soon as possible, swearing that he’d fight for Virginia, for their land, for their new government, for God, for the South.
At last, Samantha reached the house that she and John owned. It was a cold, rainy night, and she was glad to be home. She stepped into the sitting room. John rested in an armchair, reading a book. He glanced at her, put the book down, and stood, reaching his arms out for her. They kissed briefly. He put a hand to her now slightly round belly and asked, “What did the doctor say?”
“He said the baby was fine and that I seemed healthy. Do you have any news?”
“Surprisingly, yes.” John hesitated for a moment, as if deciding how he would phrase what he was about to say, and then unwillingly continued, “I’ve been demanded
- 13 -
to join the army.”
Sam screamed, “What?” She was near tears. “But-but we’re just starting out.” Her voice shook. “I thought that after two years of begging my mother to let the two of us get married that our life would finally be happy. Isn’t there any way you can get out of this?”
John answered, “I’m afraid not.”
“Please. Please, John, if you love me, please get out of this. Break a leg, fake an illness, and do something.” She began to sob. John comforted her, resting her head on his shoulder.
“Sam.”
“What?”
“Name the child after me; name it John or Joanna. I’ll come back as soon as I can. I promise.”
Sam smiled into his collar bone, knowing that John lived by his word. He never broke a promise. She pressed her hand to her belly, and, unknown to her, the baby was a girl.
And unknown to both of them, the promise that John had just made would be the only promise he would ever break.

A. tried to see her husband B. wanted to look perfect

参考范文
There are various ways to get relaxed for middle school students. One way is to take exercise,such as walking,running,playing basketball or football,etc. We can also watch TV,where we are able to enjoy varieties of colorful programs both in Chinese and English. Moreover,we can surf the Internet or listening to some beautiful songs to get some relaxation and entertainment.
- 13 -
As far as I’m concerned,surfing the Internet appeals to me most . For one thing,the Internet offers a wide range of activities for relaxation. In general,I keep track of the latest news as an enjoyment. Sometimes,I play computer games to relax myself. For another,the Internet makes it easy for me to make friends with people at home and abroad,for it is a great joy to communicate with them. In addition,having a glimpse of the vivid pictures and live videos on the Internet contributes to regaining my energy.
