If you walk into W. Lloyd Jerome’s dental surgery(手術(shù)) in Glasgow, you’ll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth. Jerome says, ‘That’s because they’re frightened.’
71 ‘That’s why I don’t wear a white coat. I find that’s one of the things that people associate with pain. In fact, my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation, interest and, above all , enjoyment.’
Which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain, or at the very least, formal, chinical visits. He says, ‘If people are relaxed, entertained and correctly treated, they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences.’
Virtual - reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques, ‘ 72 The headsets are used for the first check – up, where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches an underwear film while I look at their teeth. “Then the headset switches to a special camera, to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth.’
Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist’s. Today there is the smell of orange. “When people walk in, I want them to realize with all their senses that it’s not like going to dentist’s. Smell is very important. 73 ’
Known as Clasgow’s most fashionable dentist, Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously. ‘ 74 ’
For example, Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them, rather than scraping them. ‘It feels a bit strange, but as long as people are relaxed, it’s not painful.’
75 ‘One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient, you make it easier for yourself’ He sees his patient – centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession.
At that moment, a patient arrives. Jerome rushes over, offers him a cup of tea, askes him what video he’d like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair.
A. Five years ago, Jerome went to the United States to do research.
B. He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid.
C. The relaxation techniques are important but the quality of the treatment is the most important thing.
D. We were the first practice in Britain to introduce them.
E. Now they look forward to their visits here.
F. That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you’re frightened of dentists.
G. Fifty percent of the population only go to the dentist when they’re in pain.

61. _____________
There are many occasions(場合) for giving gifts in modern industrialinzed societies;birthdays,naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year, It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one’ s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift fiving.
62._____________
What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social oblingation(義務(wù)).
63.__________
Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient(接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special.”We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.”Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would frrl comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones.
64. ___________
People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house.These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:“I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,”the woman said,“because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.”The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and
65. _________
Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.

Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _73_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
_74 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 75 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? __76__ But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(創(chuàng)造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “ What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”
__77__ Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.
Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. __78__ Now this seed(果實) is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate(聯(lián)系) a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. __79__ Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.
So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. __80__ Go and get a book!
A.The interesting part of the book is stored(存儲) in your mind as a seed. |
B.Why not do some reading while you are hungry? |
C.Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry. |
D.Now what are you waiting for? |
E.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
F.Reading can help you make more friends, too.
G.Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.

73 So I volunteer to company the elderly persons who live alone. I met Malcolm, who’s physically healthy. 74 He is also interested in my work. He often says “You can get caught up being the CEO of a half-billion-dollar software company very quickly.”
