You can’t be good at your studies or work when you are ill.If you have a headache，or a bad cough，if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold，I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat，feel your pulse，take your temperature，sound your heart and lungs. After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking of doctor’s advice，I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old man 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 cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. “But you know，doctor，”he said，“it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”4．The writer thinks that ________.A．health is more important than wealthB．work is as important as studiesC．medicine is more important than pleasureD．nothing is more important than money5．The doctor usually tells his patient what to do ________.A．without examining the patientB．after he has examined the patientC．if the patient doesn’t take medicineD．unless the patient feels pain6．The underlined part means“________”.A．he was feeling better than everB．he wasn’t a healthy manC．he was feeling worse than before D．he will be well again7．From the last sentence of the passage，we learn the man ________ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A．was a heavy smokerB．didn’t smoke so muchC．didn’t smokeD．began to learn to smokeCI once had an unforgettable experience that has influenced and directed the way I think and act now.When I was about seven years old, my grandfather took me to a fish pond on a farm and told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone. “You may create lots of circles in your life, but the waves that come from those circles will disturb the peace of all your fellow people,” he said tho ughtfully. “Remember that your circle may touch many other circles, meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others’ lives. You are responsible for what you put in your circle. You will need to live in a way that allows the good or peace that comes from your circle to be sent to others. At the same time, the anger or jealousy(嫉妒) coming from your circle also spread to other circles. You are responsible for both.”That was the first time I had realized that each person’s inner peace or discord(不和谐) can flow out into the world. If we are filled with inner conflict, doubt or anger, we cannot create world peace. We spread the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever circles are inside us, they are spreading into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.8.

But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing (追逐)” is becomin g an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is very dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm-chasing vacations during the storm season. Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Dani el Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hourswaiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers. ”However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm,it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley.“Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth”.12.

Beginners of storm chasing are advised _____.A. not to drive in a heavy rainB. to do it in an organized wayC. not to get too close to a stormD. to spend more time on it in summer14. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that_____.A. storm chasing costs a lot of moneyB. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingC. efforts in storm chasing are well paidD. a storm present is the greatest show on Earth15.
