听力原文:Jackie: Andrew, How's your toothache?
Andrew: It's gone, thanks, Jackie. I went to the dentist last night and he took care of it.
Jackie: Which tooth was it?
Andrew: The last one on the upper right-hand side. It has a huge filling in it now.
Jackie: I hate having my teeth filled. It's not just the pain I hate. I hate the sound of drilling.
Andrew: So do I. I'd rather have a tooth pulled than filled.
Jackie: Have you ever had one of your teeth pulled?
Andrew: No, but the one the dentist just filled will have to come out someday. He says it can't be frilled again.
Jackie: Teeth keep causing trouble, and nobody really does anything about it. I can't understand why.
Andrew: They can put men on the moon, but they can't keep people from having trouble with teeth.
Jackie: Why can't they transplant teeth the way they transplant hearts? They can give somebody a different heart. Why can't they give him different teeth?
Andrew: I've heard they're working on that. My dentist says they're working on tooth transplants right now.
Jackie: On second thought, I'm not sure I'd want to eat with some other person's teeth.
Andrew: Well. That's not how it works. The idea is to develop a plastic tooth that can be put into the hole where your own tooth came out.
Jackie: Really? What makes it stay there?
Andrew: So far they haven't tried it with people, but they've made it work with baboons.
Jackie: Do they hook the plastic tooth to the teeth beside it?
Andrew: No, The plastic tooth is made with plastic roots, and after a while the gums grow around the roots, so the tooth can't fall out.
Jackie: Are you making this up?
Andrew: No! Seriously, somebody at the Georgetown University Hospital in Washington has been working on it. Jackie: Well, it sounds like a good idea.
Which of the following is true?

Andrew prefers filling the bad tooth to taking it out.
B. Jackie prefers to have the bad tooth filled rather than pulled.
C. Neither Andrew nor Jackie likes to have a tooth filled.
D. Jackie and Andrew would rather have a tooth filled.

Western tattooists work with a special electrical instrument, something like a dentist's drill. It holds a number of very fine needles, which, for the purpose of reproducing the approved drawing, ac dipped, in black ink. When the current is switched on, and the instrument passed rapidly over the outline, the action of the needles drives the ink into the skin. The tattooist is constantly wiping away excess ink as he works. This is where skill is so important, for the speed of the instrument means that he must work rapidly over lines which ac almost permanently covered over.
The basic drawing then has to be colored in, using the same method but with non-poisonous paint now replacing the ink. The average tattoo contains four or five colors, each injected with a separate instrument. How many needles ac used each time will depend on the area m be covered, but it is possible to use as many as ten or twelve, giving up to 3,000 injections a minute. Filling in is a lengthier process than outlining, and, since most people find half an hour under the needles quite enough, a major tattoo can take a number of visits to complete. Every visit will leave the skin sore and stinging, and to prevent infection the area is finally treated with an antiseptic cream and covered with a dressing. After a few days it finally heals over, leaving the new tattoo clearly visible under the skin.
And there it stays, for, as those who get tattooed and then thind better of it soon discover, getting rid of the tattoo is a far more difficult business than getting it. The tattooist is powerless to undo what he has done and can only refer unhappy customers to their doctors who, no matter how sympathetic; are able to offer little encouragement. Removing a tattoo, if it can be done at all, has to be by one of two methods, neither of them pleasant or even completely satisfactory, The first is by surgery and skin replacment, an operation which leaves permanent marks. The other possibility is to re-tat-too over the offending design with a special acidbased substance which absorbs the colors as it goes. This is a painful and lengthy process which, though less expensive than private surgery, is still quite costly. "Tattooing is a thorn in the side of the medical profession", is the view of one Harley Street skin specialist. He receives a constant stream of enquiries about removal, but in most cases the expense and discomfort of having it done make people decide to go on living with their unwanted designs. "Patients have to want it very much go to through with it," he says. "Those who do are usually the ones who find that they are refused jobs, or cannot get advancement because their hands are decorated."
This is such a common event that responsible tattooists refuse to work on areas which cannot normally be covered up." The trouble is that most people don' t think about it until it' s too late." says one tattooist who had his own hands tattooed some years ago, and freely admits to regretting it" I realize now that it looks in bad taste."
The fine needles are used______.

A. to make the first rough outline
B. to finish the rough outline
C. to make the approved drawing
D. to ink in the rough outline

Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Letter 1
Dear Ann,
I'm going to give a dinner party next month. I want my guests to enjoy themselves and to feel comfortable. What's the secret of giving a successful party?
Mary
Letter 2
Dear Mary,
Cook something that would let you spend time with your guests. If a guest offers to help you in the kitchen, accept the offer. It often makes people feel more comfortable when they can help.
Before serving dinner, while your guests make small talks in the living room, offer them drinks. Some guests may like wine, but make sure to provide soft drinks for people who don't.
At the dinner table, let your guests serve themselves. Offer them a second serving after they finish, but don't ask more than once. Most guests will take more if they want.
Perhaps the most important rule of all is to be natural. Treat your guests as you want them to treat you when you're in their home—that is, act naturally toward them, and don't try too hard to be polite. Have a good time in a pleasant atmosphere.
Ann
