The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky. “If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in .”
I look my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said ,“Don’t worry.The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.
“Come on ,he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.
“The artwork?”I was puzzled.
The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it ：on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was ！At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief！

B. She could never see a dentist.
C. She could see a dentist later that day.
D. She couldn’t see a dentist until her dentist came back from holiday.
63. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?
A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.
B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.
C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.
D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.
64. Why did the author suddenly smile?
A. Because the dentist came at last.
B. because she saw a picture on the ceiling.

It was my tenth birthday and I would have the biggest party ever. It would be a night of scary stories, pizza and lots of presents. But as I later realized, I would truly treasure only one gift I received that night.
The family room was a flurry of shouts and bursts of laughter when the doorbell rang. I hardly paid attention to who might be at the door. Everyone I liked from school was there. What did it matter, really?
“Judy, come here for a minute,” Mom called from the front door.
I know my mouth dropped open and I could feel my face turning red, for there on the front porch stood Sarah Westly-the quiet girl who sat next to me in music class–and she was holding a gift.
I thought about the growing guest list. How had I forgotten to invite Sarah? I remembered that I only added a name to the list when someone had shown an interest in me (like kids do when they know someone is having a party and they don’t want to be left out). But Sarah had never done that. I guess I had forgotten to invite her simple because she wasn’t pushing to be invited. I accepted the gift from Sarah and asked her to join the party.
“I can’t stay,” she said, looking down. “My dad’s waiting in the car. See you Monday.”
I stood in the foyer with Sara’s gift in my hands and an empty feeling in my heart.
I didn’t open the gift until hours after the party had ended. Inside the small box was a ceramic (陶瓷的) tabby cat. In my mind, it was the best gift I had received, even though I was never really into cats. I later found out that the gift looked exactly like Sarah’s cat, Seymour.
I didn’t know it then, but now I realize that Sarah was my one true childhood friend. While the other girls drifted away, Sarah was always there for me, ever loyal and supportive. Although I’ll always feel bad about forgetting her, I also realize that I might not have discovered Sarah as a friend had I remembered to invite her to that unforgettable tenth birthday party.
66.What didn’t the kids do at the birthday party?
A. They sent lots of birthday gifts to Judy.
B. They told scary stories
C. They ate pizza.
D. They watched movies.
67. What does the word pushing mean in the passage?
A. 推
B. 逼迫
C. 奋力争取
D. 使注意
68. Which statement is TURE according to the passage?
A. The writer invited every girl in her class.
B. The writer was very glad to see Sarah.
C. Sarah sent the writer a really cute cat.
D. Sarah was quiet but sincere friend.
69. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Sarah was always ready to help the write.
B. the tenth birthday party was unforgettable.
C. When the bell rang, the girls were watching TV.
D. The writer didn’t like Sarah’s gift.
70. What is the best title of the passage?
A. My Best Friends
B. The Forgotten Friend
C. My Tenth Birthday
D. Sarah and her cat
