  Is there anything more important than health? I don't think so.“Health is the greatest wealth(財富),” wise people say.You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.

  If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure(血壓), I think you should go to the doctor.

  The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed.

  After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine.The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

  Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can't help telling you a funny story.

  An old gentleman came to see the doctor.The man was very ill.He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs.The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.

  He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest.He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks.In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule:“Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.

  A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.He looked much more cheerful and much happier.He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

  “But you know, doctor,” the man went on saying, “it's not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

答案:1.A;2.B;3.A;4.C;5.D;
解析:

(1)

文章首句即點(diǎn)明主旨,意即“健康比財富更重要”.

(2)

“After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine.”是該題答案的出處.

(3)

短文倒數(shù)第二段是本小題答案的出處.

(4)

由文章最末一句可知這位紳士是說“象我這樣年齡的人開始學(xué)吸煙真是不容易”,由 “The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.”可聯(lián)想到醫(yī)生誤認(rèn)為他抽煙過多,而建議他每天抽煙不超過一支.答案不攻自破.

(5)

  根據(jù)上一個小題及這位紳士第二次來看大夫的精神狀態(tài),可知他聽從了醫(yī)生的建議.

  短文作者從“健康是最大的財富”這句話談起.沒有一個好的身體,學(xué)習(xí)和工作就沒有保證.如果你感到不舒服時,就應(yīng)當(dāng)去看醫(yī)生,醫(yī)生會仔細(xì)給你做檢查,然后就建議你吃點(diǎn)藥.作者在短文最后還講了一個醫(yī)生給病人建議時發(fā)生的一個幽默故事.
