Ⅰ.阅读理解

I've been taking time this week to smell the roses.I bend over in my neighbors'front yard,check that nobody is watching,and then bury my head in the flowers.

I've also been walking into bakeries and walking around without buying anything.

After having surgery on my broken nose 18 months ago,I haven't been able to smell or taste things.This week,however,my nose is back in business.

I've been fascinated by smells,and it's given mea new way of thinking.Smell is just one of the little bits and pieces that make life enjoyable,which,however,we often ignore.I remember once,when my son was 5 months old,I was carrying him down the street.Wind swept through and almost tipped us over.He threw his little head back and giggled(傻笑).He'd never felt the wind on his face.When was the last time I laughed at the weather?

The first time I ate bacon,I rushed home to my parents,determined that we ate this deliciousness at every meal.My father smiled and agreed.

Do you recall when you learned that the voice actors of Mickey and Minnie Mouse were married in real life?Do you enjoy sleeping in new,clean bed sheets?

We don't write postcards about the small things.We don't frame them in photographs.

They aren't that great or grand,but without them,life is altogether too loud.These quiet experiences give us a chance to enjoy the simple fact of being alive.

As my sense of smell returns to me,it's like I'm smelling things for the first time.They're full of memories and magic.Food tastes better,and the air is indeed sweet.I know what the poets mean now.It almost makes my broken nose worthwhile.Now,I am waiting for this bandage to come off.There's an itch(痒)I can't reach!

1.What does the underlined part“a new way of thinking”in paragraph 4 mean?

A.The ability to discover the joy of small things.

B.The habit of overcoming ignorance.

C.The ability to fully use our limited attention.

D.The habit of making personal reflections.

2.What did the author take for granted before?

A.Memories and magic.

B.Valuing being alive.

C.Her sense of smell.

D.Laughing at the weather.

3.Which word can be used to describe the au-thor's feeling while she was writing the text?

A.Depressed.

B.Pleased.

C.Disturbed.

D.Annoyed.

4.What message does the text intend to imply?

A.It never rains but it pours.

B.Happiness is what you possess.

C.Where there is a will,there is a way.

D.Cherish small things and make a difference.

Ⅱ.补全信息

Whether you're going in for checkups or common tests in the hospital,here's how to get the most out of your next visit.

If you're going in for a regular doctor visit,you're probably going to have your blood pressure taken.So it's best to avoid coffee right before your appointment.1Using coffee or other caffeine such as energy drinks or colas within an hour of having your blood pressure measured can make the number artificially higher.2They also may cause untrue results.

You probably want to show the doctor your best health.3Before an annual appointment,your providers would like you to be honest and upfront about your lifestyle and diet so they can have an accurate history of your health and provide you with the best possible care.You may think improving an unhealthy diet close to your appointment date is necessary.4It takes a long time for diet to change cholesterol and blood sugar,so a dietary change of a few days or meals isn't going to do much.Changes occur over the long term,so it's best to eat healthily as much as you can.

No matter what kind of appointment you have,you may be a bit nervous—after all,being examined by a doctor can make us feel vulnerable and even embarrassed.But if you write down the things you want to talk about before you go(or even make a note on your phone),you're less likely to forget or lose your nerve.It's helpful if you come in with your list of questions.5

A.You may get too nervous to ask.

B.The same goes for tobacco products.

C.It might affect the results.

D.But probably that wouldn't matter.

E.Your doctor wants you to feel better.

F.It's not necessary to change your eating habits.

G.Don't be afraid to write down.

Michelle was 8 years old when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother Jack,now only an infant(婴儿).He was very sick and they were completely out of money.Only a very costly operation could save Jack now,but there was no one to whom they could turn for the money needed.She heard her daddy say to her tearful mom,“Only a miracle can save him now.”

Hearing the words,Michelle went to her bedroom and took all the coins from her little money box.After counting the coins three times,she slipped out of the back door and made her way to the drug store 6 blocks away...

She waited for a long time before the pharmacist(药剂师)turned around and asked her,“And what do you want? ”

“Well,it's about my brother,” Michelle answered.“He's really really sick.And I want to buy a miracle.”

“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.

“His name is Jack.And he has something very bad growing inside his body.And my daddy says only a miracle can save him now.So how much does a miracle cost?”

“We don't sell miracles here,little girl.I am sorry.But I can't help you,”the pharmacist said.

“Listen,I have the money to pay for it.”With these words,Michelle poured out all the coins from her pocket.

At this time,a well-dressed man behind Michelle stooped down and asked the little girl,“I am selling the miracle you want.Tell me how much money you have.”

“One dollar and eleven cents,” Michelle answered in a low voice.“That's all the money I have.But I can get some more if I need to.”

“Well,” smiled the man, “a dollar and eleven cents.The exact price of a miracle for your little brother.Show me the place where your brother lives.”
