There was a man, in my town named Bob. He couldnt talk clearly and didnt receive much education. So children in the town all thought he was silly and often played jokes on him. One day, when 1 met Bob, I decided to play a joke on him just like the other children. He asked how it was going. I told him that my father lost his job, and that, we didnt have enough money to live. Seeing my friends laughing far from us, I decided to continue to play the joke. I knew he was poor, so it seemed funny when he asked me if we needed anything. I told him that we didnt know-if we would have enough to eat. The next morning, I went out and found a box of food outside my house. I knew it was from Bob. I looked at the small box in shame(羞愧), and wanted to return the box. My father stopped me. He said it would hurt Bobs feeling. From that day on, when we had dinner, I would think of the small box. Bob gave me the best he had and I knew that I should not have been given that gift.（1） Did the writers father lose his job? （2） Why did the writers father stop him from returning the box? （3） How did the writer feel at last? （4） Do you think Bob is a good person? Why or why not? 四、 阅读理解 (共2题；共20分)5. （10分） (2019北部湾) 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Are you afraid of going to the dentist (牙医)? If so, youre not alone.These fears could just be in our heads, however. According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle, a professor at Manchester University in the UK, the pain isnt felt most of the time in dental surgeries (牙科手术). In fact. among the 451 interviewed patients, 75 reported no pain at all during their visits, including situations when they had their teeth pulled out.Could it be the sound of the drill (钻头)then?I found that the sound of drilling can evoke deep worry in dental patients. Actually they dont have any pain. Hiroyuki Karibe, a scientist at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo, told the Guardian.To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart, Karibe divided the volunteers into low-fear and high-fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist. Volunteers were played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine.What Karibe found in the low-fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brain relative to auditory processing (听觉处理), which means, for these people, the sound of dental drills is no different from other soundsIn the high-fear group, however, the brain area that was activated (激活) was different. It was the area that carries out a number of duties, including learning, feelings and, most importantly, memory. This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound, but they remembered it-they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past, causing their worry to return.Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists drills could help scientists find ways to make patients more relaxed, according to Karibe, because patients who worry about going to the dentist might keep putting off their visits. But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy.（1） How does the writer explain that the pain isnt felt most of the time in dental surgeries? A . By showing facts with numbers.B . By asking questions one by one.C . By giving examples group by group.D . By comparing results of patients.（2） According to the fourth paragraph, what does the word evoke mean in Chinese? A . 减轻B . 引起C . 显示D . 阻止（3） How did the sound of drilling produce different results to the volunteers in the study? A . It produced some worry in the volunteers in the low-fear groupB . For the low-fear group, it activated the brain area dealing with learning, feelings and memoryC . For the high-fear group, it caused more activities in the brain area relative to auditory processing.D . It made people in the high-fear group remember their past uncomfortable memories（4） What is the last paragraph mainly about? A . How the study might be useful.B . Some new ways to treat teethC . The proper way to treat dental patients.D . The importance of keeping our teeth healthy.（5） Whats the purpose of the passage? A . To show us different areas of fear in brains.B . To introduce us a recent survey by a scientist.C . To help us have less fear of a trip to the dentist.D . To make it clear that the sound of drilling is not terrible.6. （10分） 阅读理解 One Sunday afternoon Mr. Green and his child, Mary, are in a big supermarket.
