18．Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word？If you can，you are unusual．Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like．I am sure you just spent most of your time eating，sleeping and crying．As you grow older，you were awake more of the time．It took you r parents more time to play with you and talk to you．You watched and listened curiously．You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things．
     Then you began to try making the sounds you heard．And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing．
     On that day you came to understand the secret of language．The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing．One sound might be as good as another．But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning．Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things，can they understand each other．Then，and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE．
     After you found the secret of language，you learned words．Some of the words meant things，such as BOOKS，CHAIRS and SHOES．Some words meant doing things，such as GO and SWIM．And other words describe things，such as GOOD and DIRTY．Soon you learned to put words together to express one's idea，such as"1 want to go out and play with my friends．"This is language．By means of language people can communicate．So we say languages are means of communication．

12．（16）BWhen a starving man gets a meal，he begins to think about an overcoat； when an executive gets a new sports car，visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view．
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels．（17）C．
The first and most basic level of wants involves food．Once this want is satisfied，a second level of wants appears：clothing and some sort of shelter．By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans．（18）AIt included such items as automobile sand new houses．By 1957or 1958this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied．Then，in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared：the"life-enriching"level．While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding，comfort，safety，and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition，achievement and happiness．It includes a variety of goods and services，many of which could be called"luxury"items．Among them are vacation trips，the best medical care，and entertainment．（19）FOn this level，a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services，while on the first three levels more is spent on goods．Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases，or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level？
A fifth level probably would involve wans that can be achieved best by community action．Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease，ignorance，crime and prejudice．（20）EIn this way，we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels．

A．Then a third level appeared．
B．Human wants seem endless．
C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants，another level appears．
D．There are several levels of wants in one's life．
E．At this stage，we now may seek to ensure the health，safety，and leisure．
F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing．
G．Different people have different wants on each level．

10．It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day．Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn，grow，develop your strengths，free yourself from past regrets or hurts，and move forward older and wiser．Every day gives you a chance to reinvent（重新審視） yourself．It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life．
Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper．How would you like to create your day？What would you like to paint on it？If you wake up in a negative mind，you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day，and your picture will not show hope，happiness and joy．
If you take each day to think actively，and have a positive intention for how you would like to create your day，how would your life be different？What can daily positive intentions do for you？Every day you will give yourself the gift of an"attitude of gratitude（感恩）"．
Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way．You can experience each day in the beauty of the world---and the beauty of you who are in it!You can find yourself changing from"I can't"to"I can"．With a focus on positive intentions，you feel you are full of power and more like a"winner"than a"loser"．
You pay more attention to the present，and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day．After all，the past is a great place to visit，but you don't want to live there!So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day？

24．The first paragraph mainly tells usA．
A．we should make very day a new start

A．get a positive result                      B．have a busy life
C．get gifts from others                      D．be a complete loser
26．From the passage we can learn thatD．
A．past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiser
B．think actively and you will be a winner，not a loser
C．the present is not where you should live forever
D．positive intentions for each day are of great help．

7．The morning had been a disaster．My tooth was aching．And I'd been in an argument with a friend．Her words still hurt："The trouble with you is that you
won't put yourself in my place．Can't you see things from my point of view？"I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth．I'd 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 book，but no one could see me immediately．Finally，at about lunchtime，I got lucky．
"If you come by right now，"the receptionist said，"the dentist will fit you in．"
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!
28．Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning？D
A．Cheerful．
B．Nervous．
C．Satisfied．
D．Upset．
29．What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist？A
A．The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice．
B．The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists．
C．The surroundings of the dentist's office．
D．The laughing assistant of the dentist．
30．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．
31．What did the author learn from her experience most probably？C
A．Strike while the iron is hot．
B．Have a good word for one's friend．
C．Put oneself in others'shoes．
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed．
