The Mind-Body Connections
Norman Cousins was a famous American magazine editor. In 1964,he returned from an overseas trip
and then became very ill.In the hospital,he had a terrible pain and couldn't move his body.Doctors told
him he had a serious disease called ankylosing spondylitis（强直性脊柱炎）and said he had only 1 chance in
500 of surviving. They gave him powerful drugs,but his condition only got worse.
Cousins had read about a theory that negative emotions can harm your health.He believed that positive
emotions were good for one's health,and he decided to try an experiment.He would fill his days with good
feelings and laughter and see if that might improve his condition.
He left the hospital and moved into a hotel room.There,he got a large supply of funny TV programs and
copies of old Marx Brothers movies and cartoons.He also hired a nurse to read funny stories to him.His plan
was to spend the whole day laughing and thinking about happy things.On his first night in the hotel,Cousins
found that laughing at the movies helped his body produce chemicals that reduced pain.For the first time in
weeks,he could sleep comfortably for a few hours.Every time the pain came back,he watched another
funny movie and laughed until he felt better.
Over time,Cousins was able to measure changes in his body with blood tests.He found that the harmful
chemicals in his body decreased at least 5 percent every time he watched a funny movie.After a short time,
he was able to stop taking all of his medications.Finally his condition improved so much that he could go
back to work.
Cousins later wrote a book about how laughter and happiness helped him to survive a deadly illness.
Many people didn't believe his story and said that his doctors were wrong about his disease.But since then,
research has found that emotions do have a strong effect on physical health,and experiments found that
laughter can help to reduce pain.Scientists today are working to understand the ways that our minds affect
our bodies.Cousins started watching movies because he was bored.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：由文章第一段第二句“In 1 964 , he returned from an overseas trip and then became very ill.”可知，Norman Cousins是在一次海外旅行归来之后才生病的，故选B。
由文章第一段倒数第二句中“Doctors told him…he had only 1 chance in 500 of survi-ving.”可知，医生告诉Norman Cousins，他只有1/500的可能生还，这也就意味着他极有可能会 死，故选A。
由文章第一段的最后一句话“They gave him powerful drugs , but his condition only got worse.”可知，医生开的药只让他的情况变得更加糟糕，通过下文的叙述可知，Norman Cousins 的病是经愉悦心情的影响而好转的，故选B。
由文章的第二、三段可知，Norman Cousins之所以看电影是因为他在读过一个消极情绪 影响健康的理论，他决定用切身的实践来验证愉悦的心情能改善健康状况。他看电影是让自 己发笑，保持好心情。
由文章第三段的内容可知，Norman Cousins的计划是花上一整天的时间大笑，想象愉快 的事情；他找很多有趣的电视节目和许多喜剧电影和卡通作品，甚至还请了一位护士给他读滑 稽故事。因此他一天中大部分时间在笑声中度过，故选A。
文中仅仅提及了Norman Cousins用电影和滑稽故事来使自己保持心情愉悦，并未提及 哪一种更为有效，故选C。
由文章最后一段第二句“Many people didn ' t believe his story and said that...”可知，许多 人都不相信Norman Cousins在自己所著的书中提到的经历，故选B。 -

Passage 1
Once an honored man was having a birthday party. His sons and servants were busy welcoming guests. A thief slipped into the house. He hid himself by lying face down on a beam in the ceiling of the hall where the birthday banquet was to be held. From there, the thief could look down upon the guests and see all the gifts of silks, jade, and jewels brought in. He tried to remember where these were put so that he could steal them after the party was over.
Later that evening, the host was looking at all his presents happily. He leaned over them with his back turned to the thief hiding on the beam. The thief was looking around the room so that he would be able to move quietly when the lights were off. As the thief hung his head over the beam it made a shadow on the floor.
The host did not show that he had seen the shadow. He called for his servant to set a table for one guest with the best food and drink. Turning towards the beam on which the thief lay, he bowed low and said, “Will the gentleman on the roof-beam now come down to have some refreshments?”
There was nothing else the thief could do but climb down. His host fed him well. After the thief had eaten his fill, the host gave him a bag of silver coins and begged him to make good use of them. Then the host saw the thief to the door and bid him good night.
Ten years passed, and again the honored man held a birthday party. Many visitors came to bring him presents. The man was very old by now and could not greet all the
guests. His grandson met the visitors at the door and invited them to dine with his grandfather in the evening. He then took the gifts in for the old man to see.
Towards the end of the day a stranger came, bringing gifts of gold and jewels. He would not give his name, but asked to see the honored old man.
The stranger was led to the old man’s room. The old man did not know this guest and asked for his name.
The stranger smiled, “I am an honest man. I have learned to live a good life. But it was not always so. Do you remember how you once asked me to come down from the roof-beam and eat your food?”
The host was amazed. He was even more surprised when he heard how his kindness had changed the thief into an honest man.
21. How did the thief get into the house?
A. He carefully disguised himself as a guest.
B. He followed the servants, carrying dishes.
C. He broke into the house through a window.
D. He went into the house without being noticed.

A Pay Rise or Not?
“Unless I get a rise.I'11 have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,”George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in,but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family.That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city about 50 miles away.He had been offered a job in a factory there,and the pay was far better.
George lived in Wyeford,a medium-sized town .He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else,but if he took the job in Birmingham,he would have to move his family there.
Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The corn-pany was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result,Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all .Even then,orders were still not coming in fast enough,so that there was no money for raises（加工资）for his workers. Somehow ,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.
His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him.Manley rubbed his forehead （前额）;his problems seemed endless.Henry Manley had no idea at all why George Strong wanted to see him.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned答案：B解析：题目说的是：Henry Manley早已负债累累。第三段说到公司困难重重，Manley不得不降低产品价格和减少利润。但文章只是说Manley利润减少，并没提到其负债。C正确：
题目说的是：在伯明翰提供给George Strong的工作报酬要好。第一段最后一句话是这么说的：那儿的一家工厂给他提供了一份工作，报酬要好得多。
题目说的是：George Strong接受在伯明翰的那份工作的话，他将不得不把他的家留在Wyeford。第二段是这么说的：……如果他接受在伯明翰的那份工作，他将不得不把他的家搬到那里。
题目说的是：Henry Manley的公司困难重重。第三段的第二句话是这么说的：“The company was in deep trouble because…”。
题目说的是：Henry Manley的公司获得的利润足以给工人增加工资。第三段的倒数第四句是这么说的：……没有钱给他的工人加工资。
题目说的是：Henry Manley压根儿不知道George Strong为什么要见他。最后一段的第三句是这么说的：他能猜到George Strong找他的原因。
题目说的是：George Strong是Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。最后一段是这么说的：George Strong是一个很年轻的工程师。公司除非把像他这样的人留住，否则是没有前途的。这些信息不足以推出“他是一个Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。” -
