The party began shortly after Mr. Wood, who lived in the flat below, signed to himself as he heard excited voices and the noisy music. Luckily he had 36 some work home from the office, 37 he kept himself busy for a couple of hours, thus managing to pay no attention to the noise 38 . But by eleven o’clock he felt 39 and was ready to go to bed, though from his earlier experience he knew it was 40 trying to get to sleep. He undressed and lay for a while on the bed, trying to read, but he 41 himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off the light and 42 his head in the pillow. But 43 he could not shut 44 the noise, finally, after 45 seemed hours, his 46 was gone.
He jumped out of bed, 47 some clothing, marched 48 up the stairs, and walked into his neighbor’s flat. The owner of the flat, who 49 him in his dressing gown, came 50 the room and, 51 Mr. Wood could say anything, cried, “My dear fellow, come and 52. I know our parties 53 you. I meant to send you 54.” Mr. Wood’s anger disappeared then and there. He said, “I’d better go and get 55.” Minutes later, he returned, properly dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.

The chiming clock announced it was time to leave for church, but I was far from 37 ．Seeing this, my husband 38 to iron my clothes for me．Our 3-year-old daughter approached him．
“Are you ironing 39 shirt, Daddy？ ” she asked．
“No, I’m ironing Mommy’s shirt．”
“Oh, did you think it was your shirt？ ” A small giggle（咯咯笑）escaped her 40 ．“That’s silly．”
“No, I knew it was Mommy’s shirt．” he said．
A（n) 41 expression crossed my daughter’s face．“Then why are you doing that？”
“Because your Mommy is a special person, and I like to 42 her．” he answered．
“Oh,” she happily replied, and then skipped out of the room．“I’m going to help my brother．”
As our children’s 43 teachers, we know that little eyes watch our every move．They imitate not only our actions, but our 44 ．For example, we often hear our children 45 their brothers, sisters or friends in a 46 we know they learned from 47 ．But on the positive side, the propensity （倾向性) to 48 can serve us well when we try to model, and 49 teach, an attitude of kindness and cheerful servanthood．
We all try to do nice things for our family．Think about the last time when you cooked a meal or folded laundry． 50 did you feel about 51 your family in this way？ Were you glad to do it 52 did you feel resentful that you were stuck with this mundane （平凡的) chore？ 53 , none of us has a cheerful servant’s heart every day． 54 if we want our children willingly to reach out to others and show kindness and compassion, it is essential that they see us doing the 55 ．

When someone steps on your toe by accident, you will hurt plenty．But it hurts even more, if you think the person does the same thing on purpose．Earlier studies have found that the feeling of pain can change with how it is experienced．That is why giving people sugar pills and saying they are medicine can make them feel better． This study examined whether self-reported pain is indeed higher when the events producing the pain are understood as intentionally caused by another person．For the study, the researchers told 40 volunteers that they were going to do a series of tasks, including color matching, number counting and discomfort assessment．This last task involved their receiving a brief electric shock to the wrist．They were told that a partner, sitting in another room, would choose which task they would do, and a computer screen helped them to know their partner’s choice． In some cases, the volunteers were told their partner had chosen the pain tolerance test．In others, they were told the computers would select the pain tolerance test regardless of their partner’s choice．When volunteers thought that their partners were making the shocks on them on purpose, the feeling made the pain worse．As a matter of fact, they were the same． This study provides evidence that the experience of pain changes depending upon how they think when people have been harmed．Specifically, the meaning of a harm — whether it was intended — influences the amount of pain it causes．So, although a broken toe may hurt, an intentionally broken toe should hurt more． 小题1:It can be concluded from the text that _______．
A．the feeling of pain varies from one person to another
B．long-lasting pain damages people’s health
C．pain is greater if harm seems to be intentionally done
D．people suffer more from accidental pain小题2:What can we infer from the text？
A．People can reduce pain by relaxing．
B．Researchers study how pain is caused．

D．People should think more about pain．小题3:What does the underlined word “they” in the third paragraph refer to？
A．Volunteers．
B．Computers．
C．Shocks．
D．Pains．小题4:What’s the author’s attitude to the result of the study？

B．Sceptical．
C．Disapproving．
D．Approving．
