Nowadays, a hospital always manages to keep its beds full. This is good on the one hand, and it’s bad on 36 hand.
One day, I went to see a sick friend at the hospital. I first went to the 37 desk, where I could get a permit to visit the patient.
38 I could ask which room my friend was in, the lady set down my name, age, filled out a form and 39 a bell. I was just about to tell her what I was coming for when two men arrived with a wheelchair, 40 me in it and pushed me down the hall.
“I’m not 41 ,” I shouted. “I’m just looking for a friend.”
“When he comes,” one man said, “we’ll 42 him up to your room.”
In a minute I 43 myself in a small room. In no time they undressed me and covered some other things 44 me. One man said “If you need anything, press the button.”
“I want to get my 45 back.” I begged.
“Oh, you can 46 us,” a voice said, “Even if the 47 happens, we will see that your wife will get everything.” They left and locked the door 48 them.
I was trying to think of how to escape by the door when Dr. Ward came in with several of his 49 .
“Thank God you finally came,” I said.
“It hurts that badly?” he asked.
“No, on the contrary, I am not ill 50 .”
Dr. Ward looked 51 . “If you don’t feel any pain, that means it’s much more 52 than we expected.” Then he turned to his students, “This is the most difficult kind of patient to deal with because he refuses to 53 that he is ill. __54__ he won’t tell us where it hurts, he will never be well again until we find the hurt out for 55 by doing exploratory surgery (手术探查) .”

No one would be willing to pay one-third of the price for the packaging or wrapping of what he or she purchases. But over-packaging has become a disease that leads to an __50__ waste of resources and __51__ environmental pollution.
The wasted packaging materials are __52__ to be worth about 280 billion yuan annually. And such packages and wrappings thrown away by customers __53__ up half of the volume of solid waste in cities. __54__, it is high time that regulations were __55__ to stop enterprises from spending too much on unnecessary packaging and wrapping.
To produce paper packaging or wrapping, many more trees have to be cut down. Over-packaging also limits the interest of consumers when they have to spend quite a high percentage on something that they will have to throw into the dustbin. The simple truth is that the more a producer spends on packaging, the __56__ the products it sells will be.
Product packaging and wrapping used to be very simple 30 years ago. "Shabby" was the word many had used to __57__ the way Chinese products were packaged. And shabby packaging was blamed for making Chinese products __58__ in the international market.
It is __59__ to pay enough attention to packaging or wrapping products in such a manner that they can be __60__ to customers' eyes. But that does not definitely justify that packaging should even outshine what is inside.
In the Chinese proverb, “maidu huanzhu,” the buyer returns the pearl and just keeps the case because the __61__ is too fancy and luxurious. It not only laughs at the poor __62__ of the buyer, but also criticizes the unnecessary __63__ the seller has made in making the case. Another message from the proverb is that over-packaging helps cultivate an __64__ consuming attitude - to buy fancy-looking stuff but not what they really need.

What is Math Anxiety?
Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite 36 to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer 37 ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of 38 the lines? Fear of being judged 39 ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures(使现出) up fear of some type. The fear that one won’t be able to do the 40 or the fear that it’s too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of 41 . For the most part, math anxiety is the 42 about doing the math right, our minds draw a 43 and we think we’ll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the 44 the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety to grow for many students.
Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?
Usually math anxiety stems(起源于) from 45 experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias(恐慌症) have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often 46 poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math 47 . Many of the students I’ve encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much 48 , the math is quickly forgotten and 49 soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept — the division of fractions(分数). You probably learned about reciprocals(倒数) and inverses. In other words, ‘It’s not yours to reason why, just invert(反转) and multiply(乘)’. Well, you memorized the rule and it 50 . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone ever use pizzas or math manipulative(巧妙处理的) to show you why it works? If 51 , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures — 52 if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good 53 will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students 54 they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important 55 to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the storyforthe English? This is a question
is not so
(fool) as it mayseem, for I find that many students of English pay far more attention to the story thanto the English. For instance, they care for how the mystery in the story
(solve), but do not remember a single sentence in the story and cannot tell what preposition is used before a certain word in the speech of a certain character.
Of course, if you want to know the story only, you need not(bother)about the language. But a student of English is different
a student ofstories or
is called the general reader. As you may also have learned fromthe above, you ought to read not only very carefully but also aloud
you learn the passage by heart and can recite it as if it
(be)your own. On
hand, this will teach you m any useful words and phrases; on the other hand.it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression.

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 39 a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 40 about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many 41 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 42 their own interests and become 43 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 44 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 45 , students can explore possible careers 46 service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 47 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 48 problems with the new requirement. First, they 49 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 50 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 51 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 52 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 53 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 54 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 55 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
