The words come out in the same tone (腔调 )with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone els
21、es is the managements attempt to increase business. The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.

22、 say. “oh, you just had a tooth out Im terribly sorry, but have a nice day.” The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you. Although the use of the expression is an insincere, mean
23、ingless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, its nice to

28、no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to rec
29、eive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital. Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in Engl
30、and which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special childrens hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some cont
31、act with a hospital teacherand that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do mat
32、h or number work; without a teacher they would only play games. Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was
33、summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra te
34、aching, and are told to catch up as best as they can. Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed. 【小题 1】 Which of the following statements is true A Every child in hospital receive
35、s some teaching. B Not enough is known about hospital teaching. C Hospital teaching is of poor quality.

37、ir school work, children in hospital usually turn to_. A hospital teachers B schoolmates C parents D school teachers 【小题 5】 We can conclude from the passage that the author is_. A unfavorable towards children receiving education in hospitals B in favor of the present state of teaching in hospitals C
38、 unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching D satisfied with the results of the latest survey 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 B 【小题 5】 C As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on
39、 the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide mo
40、tivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime materi
41、al for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between fight or flight and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life
42、 or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart di
43、sease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 【小题 1】 People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_.

Why must we pay taxes（税收） The answer is that the government need
48、s money for many things, for example, to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc, and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money. One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income, whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner or anything else.
