My dentist had just pulled out one of my tooth and had told me to rest for while. My mouth was full with cotton wool. He knew I collected bird eggs and asks me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me a lot of other question. In answer to these questions, I could neither nod nor make strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy search out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, so couldn't say everything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton wool, I was able to tell him of that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.

Johannes Gutenberg--the ploneer of the printing press
Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium(千年) by the media(媒體). You may not be familiar with him.Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.
He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz, Germany. His early training was in goldsmithing. In 1428, he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass(大批量) production of books.That means that each copy of the Catholic bible(圣經(jīng)) and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by men. Gutenberg fashioned a font(字體) of over 300 characters, far larger than the fonts of today. To make this possible, he invented the variable-width mold(模具) and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.
The between 1450 and 1455,while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible, Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books, a calendar, and a papal Letter of Indulgence. The Bible of 42 Lines, the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world, was completed by August 15,1456.
The invention of the modem printing press changed the way information was delivered.Even today in the computer age, we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction, information, and for the pleasure of reading literature.
A. Gutenberg made the world a much richer place
B. But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways
C. Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all mankind
D. By 1450, Gutenberg was back in Mainz at work on a printing press
E. In fact, this invention contributed a lot of educating the masses(大眾) worldwide
F. Before the spread of Gutenberg's idea, books were primarily handwritten
G. It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type and printing

“Starting with Dora, I want everyone to find the chance to say ‘thank you’.” I declared.

“What?” Ashley asked. “What’s going on?’’

“Just do it.”

Naturally, the kid^ all thought I had lost my mind. I wasn’t sure if they were wrong, but I pressed on.

“Great, lei it out!” I encouraged. “What else?”

And that was all we needed. The gratitude--great and small, serious and funny---came rolling out.

“My backpack.”

“My teachers.”

On and on it went until every face was lit with a new kind of joy and laughter. I could sense a new feeling of peace and comfort in the air a reminder of not only our blessings, but the love we really did have for each other.

“I’m grateful for being grateful!” Dora declared.

You're happy to let your best friend borrow your mountain bike, but would you be willing to loan it out to a total stranger if you could make some money from the arrangement?
That's the idea behind peer-to-peer (P2P) renting, a new model concluded by sites such as eBay and Craigslist. Instead of selling an idle (閑置) thing, you loan it to people in your town, get paid a small rental fee and gel it back when the borrower's done with it. In the past few years, almost a dozen websites have popped up promising to connect lenders and borrowers. For example, you can use GetAround to rent out your car or motorcycle, SnapGoods to rent out electronics and gadgets, ToolSpinner to rent electric drills and lawnmowers, Zaarly and Knb to rent out a little bit of everything else.
Old as it may sound, P2P renting is more high-tech than before, with websites that avoid cash for credit cards. A user creates an online listing for the item she wants to rent out, choosing her own rental fee. When someone wants the item, he keeps it on an online calendar, and the two arrange a time and place for pickup. Each site operates a little differently, but all use technology to make renting easy, safe and relatively inexpensive.
Why rent your idle things? You may not make a ton of money, but it is a good way to get some use out of idle things. The people who rent those goods are able to save thousands of dollars by renting instead of buying new.
There may be other benefits. "It brings convenience, security and adventure," says Ali Hart, JustSharclt's spokesperson. “But, more importantly, we're really connecting people and building community, too."
Get to know your neighbors and make a few dollars in the process? Sounds like a good deal.
（1）What can GetAround, SnapGoods, ToolSpinner, Zaarly and Krrb possibly be?
A.the companies selling idle things
B.the websites for P2P renting
C.the special people good at P2P renting
D.the courses to teach people to do P2P renting
（2）What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A.How credit cards are used in P2P renting.
B.Why P2P renting should be encouraged.
C.How P2P renting works online.
D.Where the lenders and borrowers meet.
（3）According to Ali Hart, what's the greatest benefit of P2P renting?
A.Making a considerable sum of money.
B.Saving money and protecting the environment. .
C.Making the Internet convenient and safe.
D.Keeping people in the community connected.
（4）What might be the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage people to do P2P renting online.
B.To teach people how to rent idle things.
C.To explain why the Internet changes our life.
D.To guide people to be fashion consumers.
