Question

Is there anything more important than health？I don’t think so.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.”

試題分析：沒有什么比健康更重要的，包括金錢財富。如果我們生病了，我們當然要聽取醫生的建議。然而如果你在聽取了醫生的處方并執行后，發現有些癥狀你并沒有，會是什么樣呢？

1.細節理解題。文章開篇一直在討論健康的意義。由“Is there anything more important than health？I don’t think so.”可知作者認為健康比財富更重要。故選A。

2.細節理解題。“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.”可知醫生一般是在診斷了病人的病情后告訴病人該怎么做。故選B。

3.推理判斷題。由上下文可知男子身體恢復的很好，所以應該是他“以前從沒感覺那么好過”。故選A。

4.推理判斷題。男子說“從他這個年紀在開始學習吸煙是不容易的”，因此判斷他在此之前不吸煙。故選C。

考點：故事類文章閱讀。
