BIs there anything more important than health?

 I don’t think so. “Health isthe greatest wealth.”

 wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.If you have a

 headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough,

 if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think youshould go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood 

pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you 

have to do is to follow his advice.

Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about

 his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him 

and said there was no medicine for his disease.He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of redwine every day and

 take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule:

 “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and

 enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he

 shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and

 happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you

 know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

4. The writer thinks that_____. 

 A. health is more important than wealth        

 B. work is as important as studies

 C. medicine is more important than pleasure 

 D. nothing is more important than money

5. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do______. 

 A. without examining the patient         B. after he has examined the patient

 C. if the patient doesn’t take medicine      D. unless the patient feels pain

6. The underlined part means “　　　　”. 

 A. he was feeling better than ever         B. he wasn’t a healthy man

 C. he was feeling worse than before        D. he will be well again

7. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_______ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day. 

 A. was a heavy smoker                  B. didn’t smoke so much

 C. didn’t smoke             

          D. began to learn to smoke
