She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon, Dr. Michael DeBakey, of Houston, Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same disease. The article said his fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn't possibly pay them.

And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns. At the same time, they are one of the most intellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. Andthese traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a "Welcome"; when he leaves, his host will tell him "You will be welcome again". These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden: telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.11. The contradiction of the Swedes can be found in __B__.A) their strictness in social activities and friendliness in entertaining guestsB) their conserved attitude towards social relationships and openness to initiative ideasC) their clearly set social patterns and enthusiasm about big partiesD) their specific ritual and concern about good manners12. "Invariably" in the second paragraph can be best replaced with __D_.A) "often"B) "usually"C) "sometimes"D) "always"13. It cannot be inferred from the passage that the Swedes are _ A___.A) hard-workingB) politeC) considerateD) efficient14.

The young man was standing outside a restaurant and looking impatiently at his watch every few seconds."Take me over there," said the young lady.There were a lot of cars and buses in the square, so the taxi driver asked, "Are you afraid to cross the street?""Oh, no!" said the young lady.

If two of them come to a desert island, they say, at the end of the year both will claim they have made a million. It's a story which sums up "the trade". Objects, some precious, some whose only value is the old age, pass from hand to hand in search of home.Buying an antique is always an event. Collectors, bitten by the bug, develop a selective photographic memory. Point to any cherished object they own and they can tell you when they bought it, where, form whom and for how much. They may even remember what they ate for lunch that day and whether it rained.Britain is the world's biggest antique treasure store. Across the country, any day of the week, there may be several dozen auctions taking place. Even a small town will boast a couple of shops. In historic centres like Bath,the numbers may run into hundreds, not counting the stall holders packing specialists markets there, like Guinea Lane.In theory, the public's best chance of coming out ahead is in the sale rooms. They may be very famous, such as Sotheby's, Christies or Phillip's or lively provincial firms like Hobbs and Bath. Bidding is rapid and the auctioneer will try and process as many as 140 lots an hour. Given the pressure and the tensions, it's more than sensible to view the items to be sold in advance, either the previous day or before the sale begins. Then is the time to decide how far you are prepared to go and not to decide in the heat of battle.11.The joke is told to.A) reveal the nature of the trade of auction B) play a trick on the antique dealersC) show that antique dealers often act against the law D) show that antique dealers can find antique anywhere12.It is NOT mentioned that antique collectors will remember.A) the money they spent on a favorite collection item B) from whom they bought the item C) the weather of the day the deal was made D) the history of the item13.The numbers" in the third paragraph refers to the numbers of.A) auction every day B) antique dealers C) antique shops D) antique collectors 14. To make a right decision, it is suggested.A) to have a look at the items to be sold before the auction B) not to hesitate to bid at the auction C) to relax oneself the day before the sale begins D) to arrive on time and choose a good seat15.The atmosphere in sales room is.A) fast-paced B) casual C) harmonious D) agreeable三、词汇与语法1、did he know what had happened during the two months when he was away.A： A little B：Little C： A fewD：Few2、Standing under a big tree to getting wet in a rain is not a good choice.
