This is a true story in Guyana. One day, a child took some silver paper from a cigarette box. He rolled it into a tiny ball and pushed it up his nose. He couldn’t get it out again. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later the paper was still in his nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.

She said she would have to cut his nose to get the paper out. The child’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. He was a handsome boy and the cut would make him ugly. Next day, the child’s mother took him to her friend Sidney. Sidney lived in a house with an old woman called May. She asked to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose. He closed his eyes. “Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon!” As she spoke, she shook black pepper on the child’s nose.

Scientists have found a new use for children’s imaginations(想象力)—to make Stomachaches go away. The BBC reports a new study that shows: “Children can be taught to use their Imaginations to deal with stomachaches.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children. Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent(时常发生的) things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for. This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away. The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy(幻想) situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73.3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 percent of kids who got normal treatment. Study leader Dr Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults. 1.The new study may be good news for those who____________. A. have less imaginations B. don’t know how to relax C. want to stop their kids’ stomachaches in a short time D. can find why children suffer from stomachaches 2.What kind of kids will benefit most from the new research? A. Kids who like listening to music. B. Kids who are good at remembering things. C. The independent(独立的) kids. D. Kids with active imaginations. 3.From the end of the passage, we know that__________. A. adults can also use their imaginations to make stomachaches go away B. Dr Miranda Tilburg wasn’t pleased with her findings C. the normal cure for stomachaches will not be used D. a cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches has been found 4.What is the best title for this passage? A. How to stop stomachaches in public places. B. Children can “imagine” their pain away. C. Children’s imaginations are very active. D. How to develop children’s imaginations.

首字母填空（共10分） I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. When people are talking, there's no need to do a 1. but receive them. Listen to what they're saying. Most times letting someone talk is more i 2. than understanding it. When I was teaching in a middle school, one of my s 3. told me that sometimes when she tried to tell her story, people often interrupted (打断) to tell her that once had something just like that h 4. to them. Finally she stopped talking to most people and became very l 5. . We connect through listening. When we l 6. , they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief (安慰) of having someone just listen. I have n 7. learned to respond (反应) to someone crying by just listening. I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there w 8. them. This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went a 9. everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too s 10. to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power than words.
