【正文】 ling to help me. So, with great expectation, I trotted briskly towards her with an appropriate smile on my face, and requested courteously if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me. However, what I saw was a woman’s face disfigured by frowns and what I heard was a sound of dismay and suspicion under her breath. Without a word, she pulled her kids to escape from me, as if scared by a murderer. I stood there, motionless, with a blank face and a sinking heart.Finally a man wearing a cheap Tshirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me. I squeezed a smile though it failed to mask my weariness, and requested him the same thing. Unexpectedly, he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation or any probing questions. Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to seek for so long. From that day on, I began helping other strangers in distress, just like the poorlooking but kind man, with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people’s hearts.聽力原文Text1W: Tony, it must be you that ate my cake again.M:No. I am innocent, honey.It is clear that the dog has eaten it!Look, here is a paw print.Text2W:Can I try another pair of shoes, please?These are too big, and I don’t like the color.M: Certainly.

This usually happens when people are in their late teen years or early twenties, in other words, when they are older and wiser.Wisdom teeth can grow into place normally and never cause a problem. But often there is not enough room for them in the mouth。 they might crowd other teeth. Sometimes they even push sideways through the gums. An impacted wisdom tooth is one that fails to pletely rise through the gums. Wisdom teeth that only partly break through can leave space for bacteria to enter around the teeth. Infection (感染) is a risk in these cases.The American Dental Association says removal is generally advised when wisdom teeth only partly break through the gums. Removal is also advised if there is a chance that wisdom teeth are poorly lined. The best time to remove is before the teeth cause any problems or pain.But why do we have wisdom teeth if we often need to get them removed? One theory has to do with our diets. Scientists say the diet of ancient humans probably required more chewing teeth. Life was probably a little rougher on the teeth back then, too. So it was good to have extras. 23 版權(quán)所有@高考資源網(wǎng)
