So the kind of oxcarried them on his back and started running when the race began. The mouse woke up just when the ox was going to across the last river. He knew that he could never beat the cat. So he pushed the cat off the ox’s back. When the ox reached the other side ofthe river, the mouse jumped off and ran to the finishing line, just before the ox.

This is a tale of two friends --- one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!
Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither
could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.
Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.”
Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need --- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!
46. Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?
A. Haixia needed someone to help him.

D. providing more farmland
48. Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?

C. They can grow very quickly.

A. they hope to make the forest even better

C. they are proud not to depend on others

Do you have bad teeth but afraid to visit a dentist? You are not alone. In fact, about 10 percent of the population have anxiety (焦虑) about trip to the dentist, the Guardian reported. Now scientists in Japan believe they are closer to finding an answer.
“I found that the sound of drilling (钻) can cause anxiety in patients.”Hiroyuki Karibe, from Nippoon Dental University in Tokyo, said to the Guardian.
Karibe divided volunteers into two groups according to how much they were afraid of visiting the dentists: low-fear group and high-fear group. He then scanned (扫描) their brains while playing them different sounds, including dental drilling.
People in the high-fear group were anxious. For them, Karibe saw a strong response (反应) in parts of their brains. This part may play a role in learning and remembering the sounds of the dental instruments.
“Anxious patients were four times more likely to experience pain than non-anxious patients,” Martin Tickle, a professor at Manchester University, told the Guardian.
Luckily, there are some ways that can help you get over the fear of visiting a dentist. Go to that first visit with someone you trust. Relax while in the dentist’s chair, for example, put your headphones in and listen to some music.
However, if you pay more attention to your teeth, you can keep the dentist away. Here are some helpful trips to follow. You need to be careful about what you eat and drink. Eat lots of vegetables, but not too much sugary fruit. Drink water instead of soda. And don’t forget to brush your teeth at twice a day!

52. What did the scientists in Japan find ?
A. Why people have bad teeth.
B. How to find a good dentist.
C. Because didn't know how to skate.
D. How to keep away from the drilling sound.
53. The volunteers were divided into two groups according to ______.
A. how old they were
B. how much they feared visiting the dentist
C. how many bad teeth they had
D. how strongly they responded to sounds
54. From the test, we learn that ______.
A. the patients were only played dental drilling sounds
B. parts of the anxious patients’ brain responded, strongly to drilling sounds
C. anxious patients are good at learning and remembering sounds
D. non-anxious patients didn’t experience pain during drilling sounds【 】
