AA beautiful and very successful actress (女演员) was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill (帐单). At the bottom of it were these words: “ Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance : 3 pounds,” with this note: “ After 5 p.m. I get 15 shillings (先令) an hour instead of 10 shillings.”

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher,no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
Above all, they knew how to use their brains.
35. The subject which is not spoken of in the article is _____
A. maths
B. history
C. psychology
D. physics 36. The teacher’s job is to teach ___________.

E-mail can be a powerful new tool in improving communication between patients and physicians.
Using the Internet , doctors “can answer more questions from more patients in a shorter time, ” writes Dr Badal Pal, a famous doctor in Manchester, IJK.
According to Pal, nearly 40% of American patients say they have used e-mail to communicate with a doctor in the past. He notes however, that although patients have such interest, only up to 2% of doctors in the United States offer e-mail services.
Using e-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point patients to patients information materials and sources on the Internet. It’s said that more than 10.000 health-oriented websites already exist now.
However some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might set up two kinds of care—one “haves” and another for the “have-nots”. But Pal points out that “In the near future nearly every library will offer (Internet and e-mail)services in the United States, ” allowing even low-income patients to use such means. Pal also talks about other possible barriers to acceptance of medical e-mail.
“Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload and uncertainty about the time they spent,” he explained, and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others. “But these problems can all be solved,” he adds.
E-mail may well help us a lot in health care, Pal concludes. “Patients want to know more than they can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway less fearful than face-to-face dialogue with their doctors.”
47. The article introduces a new way of patient-doctor communication ________.
A. by e-mail
B. by visiting websites
C. by searching the Internet
D. by using the computer

49. All the following points are advantages of using medical e-mail EXCEPT _______.
A. it is more reliable
B. it is less frightening
C. it enables patients and doctors to understand each other better

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台)in her general store. I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”
At first I was paid in candy. 52
I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account(账户). 53
By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品). I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye.

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener.55
