my tooth was aching, and id been in an argument with a friend. her words still hurt：“the trouble with you is that you wont put yourself in my place. cant you see things from my point of view?”i shook my head stubbornlyand felt the ache in my tooth. id 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

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 wasnt he as busy as the others?in the dentists 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, “dont 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

ocean and hear the waves from her house. “its the ocean that makes rockaway so special.” she says.on october 29, 2012, that ocean turned violent. that night, hurricane sandy struck the east coast, and rockaway was hit especially hard. fortunately, natalies family escaped to brooklyn shortly before the citys bridges closed.when they returned to rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. many of natalies friends had lost their homes and were living far away. all around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. natalies school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in brooklyn.in the following few days, the men and women helping rockaway recover inspired natalie. volunteers came with carloads of donated(捐献的)clothing and toys. neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“my mom tells me that i cant control what happens to me,” natalie says, “but i can always choose how i deal with it.”natalies choice was to help. she created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. natalie posted information about a boy named patrick, who lost his baseball and collection when his house burned down. within days, patricks collection was replaced.in the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: christopher, who received a new basketball; charlie, who got a new keyboard. natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to rockaway. her efforts made her a famous person. last april, she was invited to the white house and honored as a hurricane sandy champion of change.today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in rockaway, but hope is in the air. the streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “i cant imagine living anywhere but rockaway,” natalie declares. “my neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”8. when natalie returned to rockaway after the hurricane, she found _.a. some friends had lost their lives b. her neighborhood was destroyedc. her school had moved to brooklyn d. the elderly were free from suffering9. according to paragraph 4, who inspired natalie most?a. the people helping rockaway rebuild. b. the people trapped in high-rise buildings.c. the volunteers donating money to survivors. d. local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.10. how did natalie help the survivors?a. she gave her toys to other kids.b. she took care of younger children.c. she called on the white house to help.d. she built an information sharing platform.11. what do you think is the best title of the passage?a. a girl helps make a differenceb. a hurricane disaster.c. home is best.d. technology is power. da popular saying goes, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” however, thats not really true. words have the power to build us up or tear us down. it doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive(积极的) and negative(消极的) effects are just as lasting.we all talk to ourselves sometimes. were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. in fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.this “self-talk” helps us motivate(激励) ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. so in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. we should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. the next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “good job!” often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. for example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. and the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. however, harsh and critical language will most probably cause the clerk to be defensive.words possess power because of their lasting effect. many of us regret something we once said. and we remember unkind words said to us! before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: is it loving? is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.words possess power: both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal? the choice is ours.12. the main idea of the first paragraph is that _.a. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us b. inspiring words give us confidencec. negative words may let us down d. words have a lasting effect on us13. there is no sense for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.a. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesb. we can benefit (受益) from talking to ourselvesc. talking to ourselves always gives us couraged. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone14. the underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely_.a. remind ourselves b. praise ourselves c. make ourselves relaxed d. give ourselves entertainment15. the author would probably hold the view that _.a. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersb. negative words may stimulate us to make more progressc. people tend to remember friendly wordsd. it is better to think twice before talking to

or seven years more than men. one reason for this is biological.one important biological factor(因素) that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 17 between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). these hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow. in fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.18 they help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. this means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. the common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men. 19 scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe they do. some think that a womans body cells have a tendency(倾向) to age more slowly than a mans. others think that a man s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. 20a. however, women, on average, live longer.b. the biological factor plays an important part.c. women are also helped by their female genes.d. the female hormones also protect the body in another way.e. recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.f. therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.g. hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.第二部分
