The new university ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hospital in Trenton，which the Health Minister Victoria Culley has described as a “shining example” to hospitals all over the country，has been open now for over six months.Having heard several less than complimentary(赞美的) comments about the organization and efficiency of the place，I decided to see for myself.2·1·c·n·j·y
In spite of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arriving early，I found that there were already long queues at the reception desks.While I was waiting，I looked around and had to admit that it is an impressive building：large and light with marble everywhere.Eventually my turn came and I presented my doctor’s letters to the receptionist，who informed me that I was in the X ray queue and I’d have to go to another queue and start again！I couldn’t believe it and asked her if it might be possible to give me an appointment card anyway without making me queue up again.She informed me it was no good arguing with her and I should have read the sign，an almost invisible piece of card saying “X rays” just in front of her where very few people can have seen it.No matter how hard I tried to persuade her，she wouldn’t give me an appointment card for a blood test，so I started queuing again and finally got the card at 8∶30！I then set off for the blood test room，following the nice new signs until they suddenly stopped and I realized that I was in a part of the hospital that hasn’t been finished yet！When I got to the door I saw a notice saying “Back in 10 minutes”．I sat down and waited for 30 minutes before a doctor appeared and told me to come in without，of course，apologizing for keeping me waiting.I asked him why I’d had to wait and he explained he’d had to help out in another ward which was understaffed as a result of a flu epidemic(流感) among the doctors!21·世纪*教育网
I got out of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the hospital at 9∶45 am and breathed a sigh of relief.I’m now waiting for the results.2-1-c-n-j-y
So，Mrs.Culley，a fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r from rosy picture.Certainly the public should be under no illusions(错觉) that things have changed for the better.Perhaps you should visit the hospital as an anonymous outpatient(门诊病人) rather than a government minister if you really want to know what it’s like unless，as I suspect，you don’t actually care that much.【出处：21教育名师】

B．Because he wanted to find out the truth.
C．Because he wanted to prove it was a good hospital.21*cnjy*com
D．Because he had a flu and needed the doctor’s help.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

A．There were no doctors at all.
B．Doctors were polite and patient to patients.
C．A lot of people were waiting in line.
D．There were nice new signs everywhere in the hospital.www.21-cn-jy.com

Some people make yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u feel comfortable when they are around you.You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life.These people have something in common.__1__21cnjy.com
How is it done？H ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere are several skills that good talkers have.If you follow the skills，they’ll help you put people at their ease and make friends with them quickly.
First of all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，good talkers ask questions.Almost anyone，no matter how shy he/she is，will answer questions.One well known businesswoman said，“At business lunches，I always ask people what they did that morning.It’s a common question，but it will get things going.”__2__ And how he/she answers will let you know how far you can go. 21*cnjy*com
__3__ This point see ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ms clear，but it isn’t.Your questions should have a point and help to tell you what sort of person you are talking to.And to find out that，you really have to listen carefully and attentively.【版权所有：21教育】
Real listening a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t least means the following two aspects.First，it means not to change the subject of conversation.__4__Real listening also means not just listening to words，but to the tones of voice.If the21*cnjy*com
voice sounds dull，then it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally，good tal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )kers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting.If you’re saying goodbye，you may give him a firm handshake and say，“I’ve really enjoyed talking with you.”__5__ Let people know what you feel，and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their lives.
A．From there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions.
B．Second，good talkers always listen before they cut in to respond.
C．If someone st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )icks to one topic，you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it.
D．If you want to see that person again，don’t keep it a secret.21·世纪*教育网
E．By carefully ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )listening to the information that others offer，you can then become a good talker.
F．And once we know what it is，we can try to do it ourselves.
G．Second，once goo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d talkers have asked questions，they listen to the answers.
Ⅱ.短文改错

Therefore，I have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a problem that troubles myself all the time.It’s the relationship among my deskmate and me.He is a hard working student，who keeps school rule well.But he’s a person with few words.What’s more，he got angry easily.I don’t know what to deal with him.Maybe it’s why we’ve seldom sat down to exchange our feelings or thoughts.I value our friendship.I hope we can know more about with each other and understand each other better.I do hope we will be close to each other than before.【出处：21教育名师】

Nobel，who was born ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in Stockholm，is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.21世纪教育网版权所有
Nobel studied in th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859.After his return，he started researching into bombs.As is known，bomb is dangerous to life，but Nobel was working under that condition.Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths.After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake.He received criticism and satire(讽刺)，but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart.From 1860s to 1880s，Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels.Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled.Even at the end of the 20th century，we still used his methods.21教育网
