新概念英语第二册 Lesson 48
练习材料（每天自己打写一遍熟悉文章）：
Lesson forty-eight, did you want to tell me something? First listen and then answer the question: why did the writer become very worried?
[ˈlɛsən] [ˈfɔrti]-[eɪt], [dɪd] [jʊ] [wɑnt] [tə] [tɛl] [mi] [ˈsʌmθɪŋ]? [fɜrst] [ˈlɪsən] [ənd] [ðɛn] [ˈænsər] [ðə] [ˈkwɛsʧən]: [waɪ] [dɪd] [ðə] [ˈraɪtər] [bɪˈkʌm] [ˈvɛri] [ˈwɜrid]?
Dentists always ask questions when it is impossible for you to answer. My dentist had just pulled out one of my teeth and had told me to rest for a while. I tried to say something, but my mouth was full of cotton-wool. He knew I collected match boxes and asked me whether my collection was growing. He then asked me how my brother was and whether I liked my new job in London. In answer to these questions I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been. I suddenly felt very worried, but could not say anything. When the dentist at last removed the cotton-wool from my mouth, I was able to tell him that he had pulled out the wrong tooth.
