So we ran away.Every morning, when we 8 by, the young man waved and repeated his “Hi” “Bye-bye”. Resi and I waved back and said “Hi” “Bye-bye” 9 return.

Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.Long ago, operations 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 America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.1．It is ____ since a man being operated felt all the pain.A．a few more years B．not very longC．few years D．two thousand years2．Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he ____.A．could feel nothing B．could not want anythingC．could feel all the pain D．could do anything3．Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to ____.A．be afraid of anything B．feel painC．want to go to the parties D．be ill4．If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ____.A．felt nothing B．felt very comfortableC．still felt pain D．would die5．One who took too much of the laughing gas ____.A．would laugh all the time B．would dieC．would never feel again D．would be very calmB14、Maria Keller — Teenager Wants Every Kid to Read Indeed!Books have huge power. Between their pages, readers can be transported to anywhere imaginable and become just about anyone…or anything. Unluckily, many children all over the world don’t have chances to read books!For several years now, Maria Keller, a teenager from America, has been changing that fact.When she was 8 years old, Maria already loved reading. She also noticed that some of her classmates didn’t read as much as she did. When she asked her mother why that could be, her mother said that they might have no money to buy books. Maria had never thought of this. She could not believe that some children might not have bedtime stories read to them. She decided to change this.With her mother’s help, Maria set up Read Indeed. Read Indeed is a non-profit (非营利的) organization that is to collect and share books to children in need. During the early stages of Read Indeed, Maria set the goal to collect and share 1 million books by the time she was 18. It didn’t take long to reach that goal!So far, she has collected over 2.4 million books and has sent them to many states and countries like India, China…She says, “I cannot live without books. As I continue my task, I have learned that the number of kids who have no books are in the hundreds of millions. So I just can’t give up, even after reaching my goal of 1 million books.”She recently set a new goal: to give donations (捐赠) to kids in need in every state in the United States, and every country in the world. She always pays attention to her progress on a large map at the warehouse (仓库) where they store and sort books. 1．Where does Maria Keller come from?A．America. B．India. C．China.

You don’t show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for todaynot for tomorrow.If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩) , you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful.

Given a research task，many students make use of a website known as Wikipedia，which is available（可获得的）to all users of the Internet. However，before the introduction of the Internet, students journeyed to the library to search for facts，figures and stories in a huge collection of books known as encyclopedias（百科全书）The word“encyclopedia"，meaning“whole circle of knowledge”，comes from the ancient Greek language. The first encyclopedias were organized by topic. These early collections were the works of a single writer. The first book of this kind was written by a Roman，Pliny the Elder, nearly 2,000 years ago. Plinys collection remained popular for almost 1,500 years. Producing such huge works was a difficult task. So experts began to work together, sharing responsibility for writing about different topics. The first set of books to use many authors was An Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences published in 1728. The multiple-author model became the most widely used format. Today there are many encyclopedias in different media. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia was started in 2001. Users can visit the free website on the Internet. But the online information has mistakes. Users are warned that newer articles may have large mistakes. Printed encyclopedias are more or less free of mistakes. However, it is expensive to make sure of the correctness.Wikipedia is trying to improve its correctness. They employ（雇用）1，000“fact checkers" to look through the website and correct mistakes. The website managers also state that older articles are more complete and balanced. Encyclopedia Britannica has even made moves away from being a single-format book too. The company started a free online version. The free articles are short;however, longer articles are available after users pay for them.Both online and print editions（版本）have disadvantages. The mistakes can be corrected，but the process takes time. Print editions are resistant（顽固的）to such mistakes. They are also resistant to something else：change. Sometimes new information becomes available after an encyclopedia is printed. Publishers can wait to include the new information in the next edition，but that might be a year or more away.More changes are likely for encyclopedias，whether in print or online. As time goes by，the knowledge of humankind will still need to be recorded，sorted，and stored. The story of how that information will look in 20，50 or even 100 years is still unwritten.1．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The readers of encyclopedias.B．The journey to the library.C．The history of encyclopedias.D．The change to the library.2．The problem of online encyclopedia Wikipedia might be thatA．the services cost too muchB．new articles cannot be foundC．users cannot visit the websiteD．the information has mistakes3．We can team from the passage that ．A．the future look of information is unknown to the worldB．older articles on the website are usually easy and shortC．the first encyclopedias were the works of many writersD．print editions of encyclopedias change information fast4．What is the purpose of writing the passage?A．To suggest reading printed encyclopedias.B．To advise people to use online encyclopedias.C．To sell some editions of encyclopedias online.D．To introduce the development of encyclopedias.、Ⅴ.书面表达19、假如你是王明，你将代表Hong Xin Middle School参加长春市中学生英语演讲比赛。
