Is there anything more important than health? I don"t think so." 1 " 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 2 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. 3 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. 4 : "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 should not smoke more than one cigarette a day.
5 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." |

举一反三
| 阅读理解。 | Do you have a sore (痛的) throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and
sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu-but which one? Although both
colds and flu are caused by viruses (病毒), they are very different illnesses.
Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a runny nose and
sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.
Flu is much more serious illness and is caused by different group of viruses. People with flu usually get
all the symptoms (症状) described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much
worse aching. Fever is one of the typical (典型的) symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also
last much longer. Sometimes they don"t disappear for at least two weeks.
Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly, who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people,
can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection (预防针) before
the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely worth it.
If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues carefully. Don"t leave dirty tissues on
your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!You don"t want to see the small drop of
liquids blown out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting (讨厌的), eh? Now you
can undersdand why it"s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze! | | 1. In paragraph 4, we learn that ______. | A. flu injection can cause death

populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are
within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.
On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage
contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum (石油) production add particles to the air.
The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy
for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes
may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger
the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death. | | 1. The key point of the passage is that _________. | A. the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in cities

usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest,it"s hard not
to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the
infections we think of as human infections started in other animals," says Stephen Morse,director of the
Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It"s not just that we"re going to where the animals are; we"re also bringing them closer to us. Popular
foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen"s pets, and
she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. "I don"t think it"s fair to have them as pets when
we have such a limited knowledge of them," says Isaksen.
""Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need
changing," says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected
animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may
be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn"t look a major infectious
disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person. | | 1. We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop may . | A. come from Columbia
B. prevent us from being infected
C. enjoy being with children
D. suffer from monkey-pox | | 2. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets? | A. They attack human beings.
B. We need to study native animals.
C. They can"t live out of the rain forest.
D. We do not know much about them yet. | | 3. What does the phrase "the wake-up call"" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? | A. a new disease
B. a clear warning
C. a dangerous animal
D. a morning call | | 4. The text suggests that in the future we . | A. may have to fight against more new diseases
B. may easily get infected by diseases from dogs
C. should not be allowed to have pets
D. should stop buying pets from Africa | | 阅读理解。 | Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure (血压) under control, research suggests.
Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood
pressurelowering drugs.
The researchers, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact
with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE inhibitors, drugs
taken by millions around the world to lower blood pressure. Fried eggs proved particularly effective, but
more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.
Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to
work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on
increasing heart disease risks.
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said, "The wrong beliefs linking
egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet
has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amount of
cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to limit the number of eggs they eat. They can be
encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature"s most nutritious foods."
The British Heart Foundation dropped its threeeggaweek limit in 2005.However,almost half of
Britons believe the limit still applies. | | 1. From the text we know that ACE inhibitors are________. | A. a kind of medicine
B. a kind of protein
C .a kind of illness
D. a kind of food | | 2. According to what Professor Bruce said , eggs________. | A. are the most nutritious food
B. have no effect on blood cholesterol
C. can be included in a healthy diet
D. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK | | 3. We can infer from the text that________. | A. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
B. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
C. most Britons agree the threeeggaweek limit should be dropped
D. about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health | | 4. The text is meant________. | A. to introduce scientific findings about eggs
B. to introduce a medicine made from eggs
C. to tell people how to lower their blood pressure
D. to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible | 最新试题
