surgeon（外科医生）and part of it taken outtoday，however，we neednt worry about feeling pain during the operationthe sick person falls into a kind of sleep，and when he awakes，the operation is finishedbut these happy conditions are fairly new. it is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its painlong ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. the sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. he could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off，and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched soon after 1770，josept priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”laughing gas became known in americayoung men and women went to parties to try it

because theyll never know when they might need them! the trouble is that they have no idea of how many stamps they have left. when they want to send something by post, its very annoying to find out that they have run out of stamps! the internet is possible to solve the problem. the united states postal service has come up with a system which allows people to print their own postage stamps at their own home! this is the perfect solution for those people that have busy lives! whenever you go to the post office to buy a stamp, you are buying a boring and standard postage stamp. they are red in color, and you can easily buy them on the internet as well. for example, you can just order a regular 1st class stamp and then print it off using your own printer (打印机). these days, you can have much more fun with your stamps. you can buy them online instead of going to the post office. you can decorate, preview (预览) and print your stamps all at your own home. you are able to use any of your own photos as part of your postage stamp as well. these stamps arent just allowed to be used in the united states; they can be used to send your mail throughout the world. they are perfect to use for many special occasions, such as weddings, festivals and even birthdays! they are fantastic! 64. the problem of keeping stamps at home is that _. a. the stamps may lose color b. you may not find them anywherec. the stamps may be out of date d. you do not know how many are left65. with the system of the united states postal service, people can _.a. buy photo stamps at a very low priceb. send their

where rain for a whole year falls in only a few weeks time. ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. if it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form. sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. bit by bit, the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high. there is, however, much more to a desert than sand. in the deserts of the southwestern united states, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. over the centuries, the water dried up. wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. the faces of the desert, mountains are always changingvery, very slowly as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock. most deserts have a surprising variety of life. there are plants, animals and insects that have adapted to life in the desert. during the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. as the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.67. many plants may survive in deserts when_. a. the rain is spread out in a year b. the rain falls only in a few weeks c. there is
