18．In a world today of immense technology，population growth and economic flourish，planning for future residential （適合居住的） and commercial developments needs careful analysis with well thought through assumptions about effects on the environment and the people of the community．
One example of a growing city is Wooster，Ohio，my place of residency，Wooster in the last five years has grown considerably in population，leading to a growth in commercial business．Surrounded by farmland，Wooster's planning commission chose to extend the community into these farm areas in the form of residential and commercial areas．
Picture this-corn fields，old trees，clean air，country roads，and wildlife are all part of the area．Within four years，the people living on this farm step outside on their front porch to view an extensive shopping center containing Wal-Mart，McDonald's，Wendy's，TCBY，and a Cinemark movie theatre．The once quiet road is now a city street with traffic lights，busy with automobiles day and night．The air smells of car exhaust and fast food．
Some destruction of farmland is unavoidable when a city expands．Instead of expanding outward，planning commissions should consider interior（內(nèi)部的）remodeling of a city．Tearing down unusable buildings could remodel many areas inside the city．In addition，commercialized buildings could extend upwards to avoid unnecessary use of land．
Environmentally，commercial expansion is harmful to the land．Besides forms of pollution，wildlife，including both plants and animals，is put at risk．A planning commission could have realized the benefits of environmental protection．Why not preserve the beauty and naturalness of the land while at the same time allowing for growth？
With a steady growth of population and the need for more homes and more workplaces，many problems arise when planning for the future．The hillsides，fields and animal habitats need to be preserved while expanding cities．In the future，a world covered with concrete and asphalt（瀝青）could become reality．Serious research and analysis are needed when planning for the future of our home communities and for the entire globe to avoid such a miserable result．
32．It can be inferred from the passage thatB．
A．it is unavoidable to destroy farmland when a city grows
B．Wooster used to be a quiet and peaceful city surrounded by farmland
C．with many nationwide shopping centers，Wooster lost its uniqueness
D．commercial expansion has done no harm to Wooster
33．It can be concluded from the passage that the author thinks Wooster's planning commissionC．
A．has tried its best to protect the environment　　　　
B．preserves the hillsides and fields
C．should have avoided such a tragedy 　　　　　　　
D．is the cause of environmental pollution
34．Which of the following sentences best expresses the main idea of the passage？D
A．Planning for future residential and commercial developments has bad effects on the environment and the living things．
B．With a safety growth of population，more homes and more workplaces are needed．
C．With immense technology，population growth and economic prosperity，we need to plan for the future．
D．When planning for future developments，effects on the environment should be taken into account．
35．What is the writer's attitude towards the current planning of cities？A
A．Critical（批評(píng)的）．                                            
B．Favorable．
C．Objective（客觀的）                                             
D．Depressed．

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．
"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!

C．The surroundings of the dentist's office．
D．The laughing assistant of the dentist．
3．Why did the author suddenly smile？B
A．Because the dentist came at last．
B．Because she saw a picture on the ceiling．
C．Because she could relax in the chair．
D．Because the assistant kept comforting her．
4．What did the author learn from her experience most probably？C
A．Strike while the iron is hot．
B．Do not tell a book by its cover．
