I didnt even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.I could never understand what the attraction(吸引) of the house was, even for my parents, who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book. The woman in the house, my fathers distant cousin, was a terrible cook and her food wasinedible.One day, when I was wandering around the garden behind the house, I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned(被遗弃的). As I walked towards it, I heard a noise, like an animal moving hurriedly away. Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door. I was greatly surprised.“Please dont tell them you saw me,” he said. “They never use this place, and I have nowhere else to live.” “Dont worry,” I said. “I wont tell anyone. But are you all right out here? I meando you have enough to eat?” The old man shook his head.The same evening, I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and, while no one was looking, emptied some of the food into it. Later, I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man, whose name I had discovered was Taff.I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile of satisfaction on Taffs face when he ate the food. From then on, my visits to the old house had a purpose, and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay.23 . （小题1）How did the writer feel about staying in the old house at first?AHe was happy to be with his parents.BHe enjoyed reading good books there.CHe was pleased with the woods.DHe felt very lonely.24 . （小题2）The underlined word “inedible” is closest in meaning to “_”.Atoo bad for him to eatBnice to look atCnot enough to eatDas delicious as usual25 . （小题3）The writer discovered the old man _ the old house.Anear the back door ofBin the dining room ofCin the garden behindDamong the bushes before26 . （小题4）What can we know about the old man from the passage?AHe was poor and hungry.BHe helped to repair the old house.CHe liked to play hide-and-seek with the writer.DHe raised many animals.27 . （小题5）The story mainly tells us _.Aits nice to raise wild animalsBits valuable to help othersCits good to live in the forestDits comfortable to live in the old houseAn old English saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” One person who certainly would have agreed with this is Norman Cousins.Norman Cousins was the editor of a magazine called “Saturday Review” for almost forty years. He also wrote and spoke about world peace and anti-nuclear(反核的) and anti-war issues (问题). And he traveled 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. He discovered he had a rare disease, known as ankylosing spondylitis, which caused the joint between his bones to stiff(僵硬的).In less than a week after he got sick, 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 his illness and he might never get over(摆脱) it. Mr. Cousins, however, refused to stop hope.Mr. Cousins thought that 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 that hospital by watching comedy(喜剧) shows on TV. Mr. Quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free(无痛苦的) sleep at night.Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into(入住) a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching comedy show on TV, reading amusing books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired.
