But by eleven o’clock he felt  39  and was ready to go to bed, though from his earlier  experience he knew it was  40  trying to get to sleep. He undressed and lay for a while on the bed, trying to read, but he  41  himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off the light and  42  his head in the pillow. But  43  he could not shut  44  the noise, finally, after 45 seemed hours, his 46 was gone.
He jumped out of bed, 47 some clothing, marched 48 up the stairs, and walked into his neighbor’s flat. The owner of the flat, who 49 him in his dressing gown, came 50 the room and, 51 Mr. Wood could say anything, cried, “My dear fellow, come and 52. I know our parties 53 you. I meant to send you 54.” Mr. Wood’s anger disappeared then and there. He said, “I’d better go and get 55.” Minutes later, he returned, properly dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.

解析
    
36、Mr Wood从办公室里带来一些工作。take带走;  carry搬运;  fetch去取,去拿。
37、keep sb busy with…一直忙于……。
38、  Mr wood住在楼下,后文提到他跑到楼上去制止邻居的聚会可知噪音是从上面传出来的。
39、 这时已经是晚上十一点,Mr Wood又做了几个小时的工作,因此感到很劳累。
40、 根据后文他没有睡觉而是在读书可知他已知道睡觉很难。
41、find …doing…发现……正在做……。
42、 他把头埋进枕头里是为了不让自己听到楼上传出的噪音。
43、  even so指即便把头埋到枕头下面。
44、  shut off切断,使隔绝。即便如此,也不能隔绝楼上传出的噪音。
45、  after为介词,后引导宾语从句,从句中缺主语,故用what。看起来好像有几个小时的样子。
46、 试了几种方法后依然受到噪音的干扰不能入睡时,他便失去了耐心.
47、 根据后文Mr Wood又回去换衣服可知,他第一次穿得很随意,只是随手拿了件衣服。dress up打扮得整整齐齐;select挑选,这两个词与下文意思不符。wear表状态,本句是用and连接几个表示动作的并列谓语动词,故也可排除。
48、 前文提到Mr Wood失去了耐心,决定一定要制止楼上的噪音。firmly坚定地。
49、  make fun of…取笑……;stare at瞪……;be angry with…对……生气,这三个词与下文意思不符,可排除。catch sight of看见。
50、 come across此处意思为:越过……来到,过来。
51、  Mr Wood还没来得及开口,晚会的主人便向他发出了邀请。
52、  根据后面Mr Wood回家换衣服再来参加聚会可知此处是晚会的主人邀请Mr Wood参加聚会。
53、 晚会的主人知道开晚会一定会打扰Mr Wood,故排除A、C、D项。must语气不行,此处用would比较委婉地表达晚会主人的想法。
54、  send…an invitation向……发出邀请。
55、 根据后文的properly dressed 可知答案。

When someone steps on your toe by accident, you will hurt plenty.But it hurts even more, if you think the person does the same thing on purpose.Earlier studies have found that the feeling of pain can change with how it is experienced.That is why giving people sugar pills and saying they are medicine can make them feel better.
This study examined whether self-reported pain is indeed higher when the events producing the pain are understood as intentionally caused by another person.For the study, the researchers told 40 volunteers that they were going to do a series of tasks, including color matching, number counting and discomfort assessment.This last task involved their receiving a brief electric shock to the wrist.They were told that a partner, sitting in another room, would choose which task they would do, and a computer screen helped them to know their partner’s choice.
In some cases, the volunteers were told their partner had chosen the pain tolerance test.In others, they were told the computers would select the pain tolerance test regardless of their partner’s choice.When volunteers thought that their partners were making the shocks on them on purpose, the feeling made the pain worse.As a matter of fact, they were the same.
This study provides evidence that the experience of pain changes depending upon how they think when people have been harmed.Specifically, the meaning of a harm — whether it was intended — influences the amount of pain it causes.So, although a broken toe may hurt, an intentionally broken toe should hurt more.
小题1:It can be concluded from the text that _______.
A.the feeling of pain varies from one person to another
B.long-lasting pain damages people’s health
C.pain is greater if harm seems to be intentionally done
D.people suffer more from accidental pain
小题2:What can we infer from the text?
A.People can reduce pain by relaxing.
B.Researchers study how pain is caused.
C.Everyone should know the effect of pain.
D.People should think more about pain.
小题3:What does the underlined word “they” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.Volunteers.B.Computers.
C.Shocks.D.Pains.
小题4:What’s the author’s attitude to the result of the study?  
A.Indifferent.B.Sceptical.
C.Disapproving.D.Approving.
