     No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科醫(yī)生) and part of it is taken
out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into
a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new.
It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.
     Long ago, operations had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man
had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain
if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.
     Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas
became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time
laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they
were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.
     Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As
he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out
with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.
     Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this
terrible event.
1. It is __________ since a man being operated felt all the pain.
A. a few more years
B. not very long
C. few years
D. two thousand years
2. Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he __________.
A. could feel nothing
B. could not want anything
C. could feel all the pain
D. could do anything
3. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to __________.
A. be afraid of anything
B. feel pain
C. want to go to the parties
D. be ill
4. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he __________.
A. felt nothing
B. felt very comfortable
C. still felt pain
D. would die
5. One who took too much of the laughing gas __________.
A. would laugh all the time
B. would die
C. would never feel again
D. would be very calm

No air means death. Though we cannot see it, there is air round us. So air is everywhere and it gives life to every living thing. Without it we cannot live. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to keep us in good health.

In the city there are a great many people and there are too many cars running on the roads. The gas, which the cars spread out, is full of poison. Everyday we breathe it in again and again. This makes us feel sick. Therefore people should go out of door as much as they can. Besides so many cars, there are many factories, too. For the chimneys of these factories, we get the smoke usually in black or gray color. This kind of smoke, when it mixes the air, is dangerous to our health. It is because smoke contains many small poisonous solids to gases. So in order to keep us healthy we have to go out to the countryside to breathe more fresh air. Or we can go up hills to get more fresh air.

Dear editor(編輯),

　　I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors come to my city. There are so many beautiful peacocks(孔雀) here.

　　The peacocks mostly live on the grass land of Dongfeng Square. Visitors give them food freely. They usually throw food to them, and don't think about at all whether the food is right or wrong. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even died after eating the bad food given by the visitors. I'm sure most of the visitors who throw food to the peacocks really like the birds, but don't realize that they may be doing them harm. The visitors should be told that what they have done is very harmful to the birds, and this kind of thing must be stopped from happening.

　　Perhaps we can build some small shops beside Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us every person, it's our duty to give more love to these beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.

Yours，

Sun Yah
