      The Pathfinder

        When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again.

           After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.

           We found him just in time.

           This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, had he made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.

           Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes that the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he may be turned around many times, but he is seldom lost.

           There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “lost” situation. A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass（指南针）in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.

           When this happens, the normal first reaction（反应）is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.

           The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.

    1 The author suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have __________.

           A. been shot by a gun                 B. become confused

           C. been attacked by wild animals         D. been in great danger

    2. According to the passage, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, he would __________.

           A. worry about being laughed at  

    B. push himself to find his way out

           C. feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends

           D. be concerned about being frightened by wild animals

    3. When a person tries to find his way in the woods, __________ is the most important 

    A. intelligence  B. observation    C. direction    D. chance

    4. The author tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who __________.  

    A. go into the woods by themselves

           B. don’t know how to signal for help properly

           C. are frightened when they think they are lost

           D. notice everything when stepping from the highway

    There is an English saying:“ laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health. 

    Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial .

    Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which  diminish  both stress and pain .

    As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

    Doctors have proved the following EXCEPT that   ____   .

    A. smiling does good to health 

    B. laughter can be tolerated

    C. there is a way to reduce pain 

    D. laughter can work the muscles in the feet 

    .The main idea of the passage is          .

    A. laughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human body 

    B. smile can produce the same effects as laughter 

    C. pain can be reduced by laughter 

    D. laughter is the best medicine 

    The students who  ___  tolerated the pain for the longest time .

    A .listened to different radio programs

    B .slept in the room 

    C. don’t have stress of pain 

    D .listened to a funny program

    The underlined word “diminish” is similar to   _____     .

    A. test    B .stop     C. reduce    D. find 

    Doctors hold laughter clinics _________. 

    A .to give better condition to their patients 

    B .in order to improve patients’ health 

    C .to make patients smile   

    D. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

    请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and    36    in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of    37    with every recipe she prepared.

    I remember one Saturday morning    38   . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I    39   , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m    40   .”

    Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of    41    speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear    42   .”

    “But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody.    43    I forget what I’m going to say?”

    “Have you prepared    44   ?” asked Grany.

    “Well, no. That would be a lot of    45    work.”

    “But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.

    “I love your soup, Grany.” I said.

    “Well, you know, a lot of people don’t    46    homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth（肉汤）and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”

    “But I don’t    47    a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be    48    bland（淡而无味的）without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little    49   .”

    After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly    50    he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.

    While I help Grany  51  , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to  52    my oral report.

    That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was    53    with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents,    54    my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work    55   . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.tesoon
