The box would bring happiness to the whole country whe

9、never it was opened in a place full of the spirit of generosity(慷慨).The queen traveled all over the country, looking for the most generous people. When she had collected them all, she opened the magic box. However, noting special happened. How disappointed she felt!Until one day when returning to he

10、r palace, the queen saw a poor little boy begging. She would like to give the boy some money, but she didnt have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old box. Then he could sell it for a little money. At first the queen hesitated，because she had been told the box was magic. B

11、ut on seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The - 3 -boy took the box and opened it.Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the box, with the sound of singing：“Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself.”While enjoying all the

12、wonders of the magic box, the queen learned to set an example to others, and she became the best queen ever in history.21The queen traveled all over her country to _.Ahave a great timeBlook for the most generous peopleClook for the poor little boyDshow off the magic box to people22All the most wonde

13、rful things could happen when the boy opened the box because _.Athe boy was a beggar and he was poorBthe queen didnt have any moneyCthe queen had the spirit of generosityDthe boy wanted to sell it for money23From the story we can learn that _.Aqueens should be kindBwizards were very greatConly poor

15、er first met in their chemistry class at an American university. Yaser was an international student from Jordan. He wanted to learn more about American culture and hoped that he and Steve would become good friends. At first, Steve seemed very friendly. He always greeted Yaser warmly before class. So

16、metimes he offered to study with Yaser. He even invited Yaser to lunch with him. But after the term was over, Steve seemed distant (疏远的). The two former - 4 -classmates didnt see each other very often at school. One day Yaser decided to call Steve. Steve didnt seem very interested in talking to him.

17、 Yaser was hurt by Steves change of attitude. “Steve said we were friends,” Yaser complained (抱怨), “and I thought friends were friends for ever.” Yaser is a little confused.As a foreigner, he doesnt understand the way Americans view friendship. Americans use the word “friend” in a very general way.

18、They may call both casual acquaintances and close companions “friends”. These friendships are based on common interests. When the shared activity ends, the friendship may fade(逐渐消失). Now as Steve and Yaser are no longer classmates, their “friendship” has changed. In some cultures friendship means a

19、strong lifelong bond between two people. In these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they are built to last. American society is one of rapid change. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may change just quickly a

20、s well. People from the United States may at first seem friendly. Americans often chat easily with strangers. But American friendliness is not always an offer of true friendship. After an experience like Yasers people whove been in this country for only a few months may consider Americans to be fick

21、le (易变的). Learning how Americans view friendship can help nonAmericans avoid misunderstandings. It can also help them make friends in the American way.25.

Americans often seem friendly, and chat easily with strangers at first.D. Americans think friendship means

25、a strong lifelong relationship between two people.CBad teeth can be painful. They can even be deadly, as bad teeth can give out bacteria (细菌 ) into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chances of a heart disease and make other diseases worse. And adults are not the only ones at risk. Fo

26、r example, in 2008, a boy named Bob Clark died when bacteria from a bad tooth reached his brain. The doctor said it might have been prevented (防止) if he had received the dental care(牙齿护理). He was only twelve years old. In fact good dental care starts at birth. Mothers milk is the best food for babie

27、s and it does good to the healthy development of teeth. Mothers milk can help slow bacterial growth in the mouth. A babys mouth and early teeth should be cleaned after each feed, using a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. When baby teeth begin to appear, you

28、can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Experts say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently when children have full teeth. The use of fluoride (氟化物 ) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinki

29、ng water supplies. The fluoride mixes with the hard surface of teeth to help prevent holes from forming. But - 6 -young children often eat some toothpaste (牙膏) when they brush teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowing (吞咽) fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So

30、young children should be carefully supervised by adults when they brush their teeth. Once finding children swallow some toothpaste, adults should let them drink more water and try to make them throw up what is in the stomach. Go to see a doctor if it is necessary! It is commonly believed that we sho

31、uld brush teeth twice a day, that is, once after getting up and once before going to bed. However, experts say the times we brush our teeth should be decided by how many meals we have.
