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 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 operation felt all its pain．
Long ago， operation 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 “l(fā)aughing 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．
56.It is ___________since a man being operated felt all the pain.
A.a few more years      B.not long         C.few years         D.two thousand years
57. Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he___________.

閱讀下面的短文, 然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

       Reading is an important activity for many Americans. Today, thousands of men, women and children belong to groups to discuss the books they read.

       No one is sure how many Americans belong to reading groups called book clubs. Yet publishers and bookstores report that more and more people throughout the United States are joining them. Most of the clubs work the same way. Members read the same book at the same time. Then they meet to talk about the book. Members may be friends or people who live near each other. Or, they may be people who work together. Some book clubs develop from other organizations. Religious and community groups often establish book clubs.

       Some Americans belong to reading groups on the Internet service. These groups include people around the world who communicate about books they read. These people send emails instead of meeting to discuss books. Book clubs may be for only women or only men. Or, they can be for husbands and wives together. Some are family groups where parents attend with their children. Children also may belong to book clubs of their own.

A caring mother is the single most important factor in preventing teenagers from abusing(濫用)drugs and alcohol，researchers said on Friday. An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems，and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.

  “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use．”said Dr.McArdle，of Newcastle University in northern England, who led the study. “They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.” The report, which is published in the journal Addiction, involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England，Ireland，Italy，Germany and the Netherlands. They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol. The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents, how well they were supervised(監(jiān)護(hù))after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home.

  “Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,” McArdle said in a statement. But he added that a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits. The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent. If either factor was missing, the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent．More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs．

  Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents’ responsibility                            

The phrase“maternal bond” appears twice in this passage. Guess its meaning__________．

A.物質(zhì)的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)             B.母親的約束             C．法律的制裁            D.學(xué)校的指導(dǎo)

According to McArdle,which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem_________?

A.16-year-old Tom from a happy big family             

B.17-year-old Kate supervised by her single mother．

C.18-year-old Juliet living with her single father．      

D.19-year-old Mark cared by his parents.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage__________?

A. Teenagers with both parents won’t have the drug use problem.

B. Teenagers from several countries filled in the questionnaire.

C. Teenagers were asked about their relationship with parents．

D. Teenagers in British schools are warned against drugs abuse.

The last paragraph suggests that________.

A. schools should answer for the drug problem             

B. television and media are to blame

C. parents and the society are responsible for the drug problem

D. mothers are the cause of youth drug use．
