14、eration. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new.

15、rything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him.

17、 himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Wells teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.

26、ook.DIn a math book.C15、“Dont tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be hard to keep a secret. Often, we cant help “spilling the beans”, even if we regret it later.According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Scie

27、nces at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well “become a burden”. This is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge(冲动) to share it with someone.An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US, suggested that keeping a secret

28、 could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the daily Mail.But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reas

29、on people share secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either getting or losing the trust of someone.” according to Shah.He

30、added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesnt mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.Shah said

31、that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, youd better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you mustnt give the information away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someones secret you should come clean about it. Let the person know

32、that their secret isnt so secret any more.1The underlined phrase “spilling the beans” in paragraph 1 probably means _.AKeeping a secretBDiscussing a secretCLetting out a secretDThinking about a secret2Why may keeping a secret “become a burden”?ABecause people who tell a secret may feel regretful.BBe

33、cause people who keep a secret may feel stressed.CBecause people may feel depressed after letting out the secrets.DBecause people are forced to share their secrets with others.3From the passage, we can infer that _.APeople may feel guilty if they keep secrets for someone close to themBKeeping a secr

34、et may lead to distrust between close friendsCTo tell talkative people a secret may cause them much stressDIts always a good idea to share secrets with quiet people4Whats the best title of the passage?AKeeping secrets is a burden.BDont tell secrets to anyone.CAlways share secrets with others.DOthers

35、 secrets are no more secrets.D16、Long long ago, there lived a wise master in the mountains. He was considered to be the cleverest man in the world.

38、 Master.“No.”The Master sat beside this troubled young man, took his hands, and said, “The pain of life is pure salt, no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same. But the amount we taste the pain depends on the container we put it into. So when you are in pain, th

39、e key thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things. Stop being a glass.

44、 2008.This huge jump in home price has pushed more and more low income families into sub-divided flats.What is a sub-divided flat? It is a flat that is divided into parts, so that it can house more than one family. Many sub-divided flats do not meet fire-safety standards (标准）.For example, some flat

45、owners have turned fire escape exits into part of their own rooms.In June 2011, a fire happened in an old eight-storey building and left four people dead. That building was filled with sub-divided flats, some as small as 100 square feet. Many people believed that sub-divided flats were one of the ca

46、uses for the accident. Since then, the government has paid more attention to the housing problem.The best way to lower housing prices is to increase the number of flats; however, the best way may not be the easiest way. To lower housing prices, the government said that 20,000 new flats must be added

47、 every year for the next ten years.Even if government could provide land for 20,000 flats a year, we would not know how much that would affect the housing market. One thing is for certain, Hong Kongs housing problem will not soon go away and will be with us for a very long time.1The purpose of this article is to talk about_.Athe fire in June 2011Bthe housing problem in Hong KongCthe sub-divided flatsDthe fire-safety laws2_ family / families would live in one sub-divided flat.A0B1C4D1003The
