1、We usually go to see a doctor when we are ill. Doctors may give us some medicine, and the medicine often makes us feel better.
But sometimes the doctor's medicine doesn't work. This happened to one man, Thomas Smith. He was ill in hospital, but he wasn't getting well. Then he found a new "doctor" inside himself. He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain after half a year. He could have a good night's rest. His own happy feeling helped him get well. He wrote his story in his book. He said laughing was very useful and it was the best "medicine".
Another man, Simon Beck, was also ill, and he had a serious pain in his back. The doctor couldn't stop it, so the man began to "picture" his pain. In his head, he drew a picture of a dog. He imagined it to be a real dog. And it was hurting him. Then the man talked softly to the dog. He put his hand on the dog's head and made friends with it. One year later, his pain went away!
These stories may surprise you, but more and more people are getting well in this way. So call on the "doctor" inside your mind, and keep happy and well!

14、阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Every student knows the importance of taking notes in class. But not every student knows how to take good notes. Here are some tips (建议) to help you develop this important skill.
Begin with the date and the topic (话题) of the class. It will help you keep your notes organized (有条理的).
Write down the most important points. Trying to write down everything the speaker says will only make you feel tired. Instead, write down the key ideas of the speaker.
If the speaker uses a PowerPoint (幻灯片), you can ask if you can copy the PowerPoint before or after the class or meeting. Then print it out so you can write notes on it. Or you can take a picture with a phone.
Think about whether you want to take notes by hand or with a computer. Taking notes by hand helps you remember things better. But with a computer, notes are easier to organize (组织).
Look over your notes again after taking them. This will give you the chance to add any information that you didn't write down. It's best to do this as soon as possible, so that you don't forget anything. It also helps you remember what you wrote.
(1)、How many tips does the writer give about taking notes in the passage?(2)、Why should you begin with the date and the topic?(3)、How will you feel if you try to write down everything the speaker says?(4)、What can you do to avoid (避免) forgetting anything?(5)、Do you like to take notes by hand or with a computer? Why? -

16、In some Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.
School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don't have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends.
Young kids only do easy chores. So they don't get much money. But that's enough. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.
When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.
Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawn mower or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.
