（每小题2分，共30分）AAn old English saying says, "Laughter is the best medicine.”Norman Cousins worked for a magazine called Saturday Review for almost forty years. He also wrote articles about peace, traveling to many different countries to share his ideas.In the 1960s, after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Europe, Mr Cousins got sick. In less than a week after he got back, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night. The doctors told Mr Cousins that they did not know how to cure (治疗) his problem and he might never get over the illness. Mr Cousins, however, refused to give up hope.Mr Cousins thought that the illness could be caused by unhappy thoughts. He did not want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching comedy shows on television. Mr Cousins quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of sleep without pain at night.Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr Cousins rested in the hotel room watching comedy shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within three weeks, he felt well enough to have a holiday to Puerto Rico, where he began running on the beach for exercise. After a few months，Mr Cousins was able to carry on his work.

According to Forbes, which publishes a list of the richest peoplein the world every year, at least fifty rock stars have income between two millionand six million dollars per year.“It doesn’t make sense,” says Johnny Mathis, one of the older musicmillionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was popular, in the 1950’s.“Performers aren’t worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is.”Bu t the rock star’s fans seem to disagree. Those who love rock music spend abouttwo billion dollars a year for records. They pay 150 million dollars to see rockstars in person.Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. In 1972 one of the luckiest was Kon Mclean, who wrote and sang “American Pie”. Mclean writes his own music, so he earns an extra two cents on every single record of the song.Nell Young, who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience of 10,000, each of whom has paid five dollars for a ticket. After paying expenses, Young leaves with about $18,000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.How do the rock stars use their money? What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water? Most of the young stars simply show the money around. England’s Elton John gave someone a $38,000 Rolls Royce car and bought himself 5,000 pairs of eyeglasses, then lighted up and spelt E-L-T-O-N. He also bought himself two cars，“one for each foot”.Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane. Those performers return from a tour, pay their bills, and buy new toys. Then when they need money again, they do another tour. They save no money and live from hand to mouth.In the end the rock stars’ life is unrewarding. After two or three years, riches and fame are gone. Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely ex- performer spends his remaining years trying to attract strangers. New stars have arrived to take his place.16.
