As a boy，Tim was much influenced by books about the sea, but in fact by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a dentist and as a result ,Tim had the opportunity of meeting many doctors either at home or elsewhere. When he was fourteen he was already hanging around the clinic of a local doctor where he was supposed to be helping to wrapping up medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the conversations taking place between the doctor and his patients in the next room.

During the war Tim served in the Navy as a surgeon（外科医生） “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with very real suffering and on the whole making a success of it .”In California he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skills to himself and his ability to make decisions. Thus ，while he was able to tell them what to do ， he could feel he was serving them. After the war ，he got married and chose to be a doctor in the countryside, working under an old doctor who was popular in the area， but who hated the sight of blood and believed that the secret of medicine was faith.

Next time you hear a funny joke ,you’d better not laugh too hard. According to a paper published by the British Medical Journal, laughter isn’t always the best medicine. Sometimes it can even be harmful.Professor Robin Ferner from the University of Birmingham, one of the authors of the study, found that bad things could happen to people who laughed too much. He says: "We found people with heartbeat problems which had stopped their heart, we found people who had fainted(昏倒), and we found people who’d dislocated (使关节脱位)their jaws or burst their lungs."  It seems that laughing can be no laughing matter. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Professor Ferner says there are benefits to laughing when you want to lose weight, for example. Yes, that’s right: laugh and be slimmer! Professor Ferner explains that: "You use energy when you laugh, you move your diaphragm(横膈膜), you expand your lungs, and both those things can be helpful." According to the research, laughing for a quarter of an hour can burn up to 40 calories, and if you laughed all day you’d use up about 2,000 calories, which is what most people consume in a day. But don’t do that or you might end up with a painful jaw. Ouch! Or you might find people looking at you in a funny way.

28. Laughing too much may cause the following harmful results EXCEPT______.

A. heart stop B. lung burst C. diaphragm movement D. jaw dislocation

29. The underlined phrase “doom and gloom ” in Paragraph 2 probably means “__”.

A. nervous B. funny C. painful D. Hopeless

30. How many calories can you use if you laugh for half a day?

A. About 40 B. About 2,000 C. About 1,000 D. About 2,040

31. What is the author’s attitude towards laughing in the last paragraph?

A. Favorable B. Disapproving C. Worried D. Uninterested

D

How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day? Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is normal for many people.

You probably don’t need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health—from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity (肥胖)in the long term, it reduced cholesterol maintenance (胆固醇含量） in the short term,
