If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time，we would discover—in reviewing them—that the great majority of our     16     never come to pass. This means that most of the time we     17     to worrying，even the constructive（建设性的）kind that prompts us to try to come up with a     18     to what is troubling us，is wasted.     19   ，we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain，but also    20   valuable minutes and hours that could have been spent elsewhere.

Toscanini looked with total     29      at the man．Then he    30     kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders．“My friend，”the maestro replied，“do not worry about it．The note E-flat does not    31   anywhere in the music that you will be    32   this evening．”
The next time we find ourselves in the middle of     33     about some matter，we might be wise to    34    and ask ourselves what the odds（几率）are of the problem really coming to    35   .We may be able to go on to something more constructive．

Tattoos and body piercings（穿孔）have moved up on the trend list in recent years．Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and“flesh ink”（纹身）．As with all other subjects，the Chinese will surely have to deal with this situation with respect to their children．To get a better view of what has happened in the West，1et’s sit down and hear what they say．
Tiara from Indiana： 
I personally think body piercing is sickening．If there were supposed to be holes in your body，you would have been born with them．I do，however，think that ear piercing is not wrong．There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing．Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous．I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.
Lee from Illinois：
Hi！I live in Illinois．I am 23．I have 12 tattoos and three piercings．I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector．You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs up on my art work．People on the street stop me to look at the tattoo on my leg．Most of them don’t know what it is．They just think the work itself is great.
Subotai from California：
I’m not prohibitive（禁止）of self-expression，but when I see high school students getting these piercings，I really wonder．In some cases，the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion．A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin．It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow’s.
Jackson from Ohio：
I don’t think it is wrong，but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything—I think that’s ridiculous．People who get the big“dragons that cover the whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary．”When I see naked chicks on guys，I think，“You have no respect for women．”
36．we infer          according to the passage．

D．Jackson likes tattoos and piercings

Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text．The reader puts questions，as they were．to the text and get answers．In the light of these he puts further questions，and so on．
For most of the time this“conversation”goes on below the level of consciousness．At times，however，we become aware of it．This is usually when we are running into difficulties，when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning．When successful matching is being experienced，our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level．
Different people converse with the text differently．Some stay very close to the words on the page；others take off imaginatively from words，interpreting，criticizing，analyzing and examining．The former represents a kind of comprehension that is written in the text，while the latter represents higher levels of comprehension．The balance between these is important，especially for advanced readers．
There is another conversation that from our point of view is important，and that has not to do with what is read but with how it is read．We call this a“process”conversation as opposed to a“content”，conversation．It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading．If we are skilled readers，our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed．Not so our ability to hold a process conversation．It is just this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level． 
40．Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when        .
A．the reader’s expectations agree with what is said in the text
B．the reader asks questions and gets answers
C．the reader has trouble understanding what the author says
D．successful matching is occurring
41．At a lower level of comprehension，readers tend to        .
A．read a text slowly
B．read without thinking hard
C．interpret a text in their own way   ．
D．concentrate on the meaning of words only
42．A“process”conversation has to do with        .
A．the development of our ability to check the details
B．determining the main idea of a text
C．what reading material is read
D．the application of reading strategies
43．From the passage we know        .
A．it’s important for readers to have conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension
B．readers should take a critical attitude towards the author’s ideas
C．readers should learn to use different approaches in reading different texts
D．readers should pay more attention to the content of a text
