[2013·重庆卷]

A

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching，and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view？”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday，but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book，but no one could see me immediately. Finally，at about lunchtime，I got lucky.

“If you come by right now，”the receptionist said，“the dentist will fit you in.”

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice？Why wasn't he as busy as the others?

In the dentist's office，I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice－cold one.

When I told her my fears，she laughed and said，“Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”

“How long do I have to wait for him？”I asked impatiently.

“Come on，he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork，”the assistant said.

“The artwork？”I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture，right where I could enjoy it：on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was！At that moment，I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

What a relief!

56．Which of the following best describes the author's feeling that morning?

A．Cheerful.

B．Nervous.

C．Satisfied.

D．Upset.

57．What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?

A．The dentist's agreeing to treat her at very short notice.

B．The dentist's being as busy as the other dentists.

C．The surroundings of the dentist's office.

D．The laughing assistant of the dentist.

58．Why did the author suddenly smile?

A．Because the dentist came at last.

B．Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.

C．Because she could relax in the chair.

D．Because the assistant kept comforting her.

59．What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

A．Strike while the iron is hot.

B．Have a good word for one's friend.

C．Put oneself in other's shoes.

D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.

B

In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.

Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight－mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.

From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy's classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you don't know, poke greens are a weed－type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.

Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one－and－only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph.D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that canno
