"Here's what you do，"said the doctor．"Stand about 40feet away from her，and in a （3）____ 　　　　conversational speaking tone （音调） see if she hears you．If not，go to 30feet，then 20feet，and so on（4） 　　you get a reply．"

That evening，the wife was in the （5） 　　，and he was in the yard．He said to

himself，"I'm about 40feet away，and let me see what will happen．"Then in a usual tone he asked，"Honey，what's for dinner？"

No （6） 　　．

So the husband moved closer to the kitchen，about 30feet from his wife and asked，"Honey，what's for dinner？"（7） 　　no reply．

Next he moved into the dining room where he was about 20feet from his wife and （8） 　　，"Honey，what's for dinner？"

Again he got no reply．He walked up to the kitchen door，about 10feet away．"Honey，what's for dinner？"Again there was no reply．

So he（9） 　　right up behind her．"Honey，what's for dinner？"

"Chicken!James，for the（10） 　　time I've said that．"

A doctor entered the hospital hurriedly after being called in for an important surgery （外科手术）．

The doctor smiled and said，"I am sorry．I wasn't in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now，I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work．"

"Calm down？!What if your son was in this room right now？Would you calm down？If your own son dies while waiting for a doctor，then what will you do？"said the father angrily．The doctor smiled again and replied，"We will do our best and you should also pray （祈祷）for your son's healthy life．"

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy，"Thank goodness!Your son is saved!"And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running by saying，"If you have any questions，ask the nurse．"

"Couldn't he wait some minutes so that I can ask about my son's state？"shouted the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left．

The nurse answered，tears coming down her face．"His son died yesterday in a road accident．He was at the burial （葬礼） when we called him for your son's surgery．And now that he saved your son's life，he left running to finish his son's burial．"

Have you ever had trouble sleeping in a new place？

Lots of people do．And now researchers from Brown University in Rhode Island think they know why．They found that one﹣half of the brain"remains more awake"than the otherhalf when people are trying to sleep in a new place．

The sleep findings were reported in Current Biology by Brown University．In their report，the researchers said many people report they have a harder time sleeping the first night at a hotel or other places outside their home．They call it"first﹣night influence"．"In Japan they say，"If you change your bed，you can't sleep，'"said Yuka Sasaki，one of the report's writers．"You don't sleep very well in a new place．We all know about it．"

The researchers measured brain waves （测量脑波） for 35volunteers over two nights in a laboratory．The two nights were a week apart （间隔）．They found during the first night the left half of the brain was more active than the right half．This was during the first deep﹣sleep period，the researchers said．

Sasaki said a lot of questions remain．

Researchers did not keep measuring brain waves all night long．So，they don't know if the left half keeps"watch"all night，or whether it"works in shifts （轮换） with the right half later in the night"．They also do not know why the brain activity，at least during the first period of deep sleep，is always on the left half．

For some，this research may be calming．It is good to know that our brain is"looking out for us"in a new place．But it may not help with sleep．That brain activity，at least according to this new research，makes it harder to get the sleep people need to wake up well rested in the morning．

57．Martin will visit Winnipeg Railway Museum with his 4﹣year﹣old daughter．How much should he pay？ 　　

58．Which is the proper time to visit The Forks Market？ 　　

59．What is mentioned in each part of the text？ 　　

60．Where is the text probably taken from？ 　　

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant （令人愉快的）but are not．（61） 　　When someone says they have to"face the music"，it does not mean they are going to a concert．"Facing the music"means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action．

（62） 　　For example，"I can't face another night of camping!It's cold and rainy．"Or"In life，you must face your fears．"Face used in this way is very common．But now，let's go back to facing the music．Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car．She gives you the keys and says，"Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away．But please，do not drive it．It is an extremely （极其） fast car．"（63） 　　You want to show off to some friends．So，you drive it around town one night．As bad luck would have it，you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign．Bang!

When your friend returns you must tell her what you have done and"face the music"．（64）____ 　　It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both．Whatever the music is，you must face it．

（65） 　　To"take your medicine"means to accept the results from something bad you have done．And if someone says，"You made your bed．Now lie in it．"they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!

Next time you're in a public place，take a look around you．And （66） 　　how many people are using their phones．I can tell you now that it is probably more than half，whether you're on a bus，in a caffee （67） 　　simply walking down the street．

I'm not saying that I am not an example of this，but it．（68） 　　mazes （使惊愕） me how people can spend so much time on their phones without （69） 　　to others．Has it gone too far？

Recently，my smart phone broke and had to be（70） 　　off for repair for a week or so．I had to use a really old，basic phone just to keep me in touch with my family and（71） 　　．All I could do on this phone was to send text messages，make calls and play one game．And I loved it．I loved being（72） 　　from the Intemet，and I really didn't mind not having updates （更新） about what my friends were doing．It allowed （73） 　　to spend more time enjoying my time in London and watching the people（74） 　　me and really see what was going on．

However，I knew that as soon as I got my smart phone back I would be one of those （75）____ 　once again．Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and forget I ever got my smart phone back．
