Many years ago, Norman Cousins got a very serious disease (疾病). The doctors said he only had six months to live.　 1.　 Norman thought his negative emotions (消极情绪) had something to do with his disease.

He decided to have a try.　 2.　 He watched funny movies, read funny stories and did anything that would make him laugh. Surprisingly, he got well again.　 3.　

Some studies also show that laughing is good for people' s health. 4.　 If you are well, laughing helps you stay that way. So, if you like laughing, go on enjoying it. If you don't like laughing, why not have a try?

Do anything that makes you laugh— watch movies, sitcoms; read books, cartoons and jokes; hang out with friends. Laugh!ongand loud　　 5.　 But they'll join you in the end.

Some diseases may be contagious(接触传染的)but none is as contagious as the cure (疗法）—laughing.

Years ago I worked at a factory in a small country. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine:

“A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert (沙漠) during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost unbearable, 125 degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly（不停地）, and there was sand --- sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顾一切地) she wrote to her parents in Ohio that she couldn’t stand it another minute and was coming home.”

Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father --- just two lines:

Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud; the other saw stars.

The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维) but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.

She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and finally wrote a book about it.

The desert hadn’t changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her.

A change of attitude could change everything.

After reading the article, I was deep in thought.

1.The underlined word “unbearable” means _______ in Chinese.

A. 难以想象的 B. 难以克服的 C. 难以忍受的 D. 难以置信的

2.After she received her father’s reply, the woman _______.

A. went back home B. was coming home

C. decided to stay there D. decided to go back home with her husband

3.From her father’s reply, we can infer (推断) that _______.

A. two men looked out from prison bars

B. one man was in prison and the other was out of prison

C. two men were out of prison

D. Her parents wanted her to stay there with her husband

4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. A woman went to live with her husband in a big city.

B. The woman finally made friends with the natives.

C. She wrote to her parents that she was coming home.
