35、 novel.D. An essay.BMy morning routine varies little from day to day. I walk the dog, eat breakfast at the kitchen counter with Katie and Matt, and then settle in for a day at the computer. And because I work mostly from home, I have learned that little walks into the outside world are important for

36、 psychological well-being. So before I begin attempting to put sentences together, I walk over to a little coffee shop in my neighborhood, and chat with the folks behind the counter.The coffee shop is on the other side of the historic Chesapeaker & Ohio Canal from my house. Whenever in season, t

37、ourists line up to take a slow boat, if not to India, at least into the 19th century.One warm day last fall, I turned the corner to see one of the boatmen sitting alone on the boat, bathed in early-morning light. He was playing the violin. The scene stopped me in my tracks. What I witnessed could on

38、ly be described as a perfect moment. Ten seconds at most. But months later I still remember just standing there, watching, listening, and taking it all in.We all have such moments put before us. Little surprises. Whether were wise enough to see them is another thing.I thought of the violin man one S

39、unday afternoon while reading the biographies of those killed in the Columbia incident. The specialist Laurel Clark, talking from the shuttle a few days before it was to land, said it was blissful to see the simple unexpected wonders of space, like a sunset. “Theres a flash; the whole payload bay tu

40、rns this rosy pink,” she said. “It only lasts about 15 seconds, and then its gone.”I once had a friend who had a strange habit that never stopped to amuse me, maybe because I never quite knew when she was going to spring it on me. It could come in the middle of a particularly lively dinner with old

41、friends. Out of the blue, shed say, “Stop! I want to remember this moment.” I realize now, after her death, what wise advice that is. 59.

42、her physical healthC. she hates to be left alone at home when others are out D. she benefits psychologically from contacting the outside world60.

43、ell people to _.A. develop a good habitB. enjoy life to the fullestC. catch the valuable moments in lifeD. be willing to follow friends advice62. “I” in the passage is probably a _.A. violinistB. writerC. sailorD. waitressCA lot of us think that we should visit the dentist every six months. Whether

44、those check-ups are really necessary is, however, a matter of debate. In 2000, three-quarters of dentists surveyed in New York were recommending six-monthly check-ups, despite the absence of evidence. Today, many organizations still recommend six-monthly check-ups. But for several decades some have

45、been arguing that the choice of six months as the ideal space between visits is rather questionable. For example, Aubrey Sheiham, a professor of dental public health, published a paper complaining about the lack of evidence for six-monthly check-ups. Almost 40 years, hes still making the same point.

46、Last year the Cochrane Collaboration performed a review of the research that had been done and they were disappointed with what they found. The quality and quantity of the research was simply too poor to back up the idea of six-monthly check-ups. Theres something else we have to bear in mind. Even w

47、hen a study finds, for example, that children who go to the dentist frequently have fewer fillings, there may be other factors(因素) at work. Those same children may have other advantages; they may eat more healthily and have better quality dental equipment.How often should you visit the dentist, then

48、? Bodies like Nice, which provides guidance for the National Health Service in England and Wales, say that the frequency of dental visits all depends on the individual. They recommend that children go at least once a year because their teeth can decay(蛀蝕) faster, while adults without problems can wa

49、it as long as two years. They even go as far as to say that longer than two years is OK for people who have shown commitment to caring for their teeth.Where does this leave the rest of us the next time we receive a card in the mail reminding us our next dental visit is due? Wed all like an excuse to

50、 go less often, and the good news is that if you dont have any problems you can probably wait a little longer than six months between visits. But exactly how long you can wait before your appointment with the dentists chair will depend on the assessment you and your dentist make of your own risk. 63

51、. Who supports six-monthly dental check-ups? A. All the dentists.B. Many organizations.C. Aubrey Sheiham.D. The National Health Service.64. The research may not prove the idea of six-monthly check-ups because _. A. the researchers were not qualifiedB. the number of the subjects was big C. there migh

52、t be other factors at workD. there was a lack of quality dental equipment65. We can learn from the last two paragraphs that _. A. people often find excuses to avoid the next dental visit B. the frequency of dental visits varies for different people C. people should decide when to go to the dentist b

53、y themselves D. the healthier a person is, the less frequent the dental visits are66. What is the best title for this passage? A. How can we go to the dentist less? B. Why do we need to visit our dentist? C. Who should go to the dentist frequently? D. How often do we need to visit our dentist?DDo we

54、 really know our best friends?I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously. Its generally held that friends ar

55、e people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable, or similar to our own, and yet experience regularly contradicts this. What is a friend, really? All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again.The truth is that we dont know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that
