In the summer of 1964, well-known writer and editor Norman Cousins became very ill. His
body ached and he felt constantly tired. It was difficult for him to even move around. He consulte
d
his physician, who did many tests. Eventually he was diagnosed as having ankylosing spondylitis,
a
very serious and destructive form of arthritis. His doctor told him that he would become
immobilized and eventually die from the disease. He was told he had only a 1 in 500 chance o
f
survival.
Despite the diagnosis, Cousins was determined to overcome the disease and survive. He ha
d
always been interested in medicine and had read the work of organic chemist Hans Selye, The Stress
of Life ( 1956 ). This book discusses the idea of how body chemistry and health can be damaged by
emotional stress and negative attitudes. Selye’s book made Cousins think about the possible benefits
of positive attitudes and emotions. He thought, “If negative emotions produce ( negative ) changes i
n
the body, wouldn’t positive emotions produce positive chemical changes? Is it possible that love,
hope, faith, laughter, confidence, and the will to live have positive therapeutic value?”
He decided to concentrate on positive emotions as a remedy to heal some of the symptoms o
f
his ailment. In addition to his conventional medical treatment, he tried to put himself in situations
that would elicit positive emotions. “Laugh therapy” became part of his treatment. He scheduled
time each day for watching comedy films, reading humorous books, and doing other activities that
would bring about laughter and positive emotions. Within eight days of starting his “laugh therapy”
program, his pain began to decrease and he was able to sleep more easily. His body chemistry even
improved. Doctors were able to see an improvement in his condition! He was able to return to work
in a few months’ time and actually reached complete recovery after a few years.
Skeptical readers may question the doctor’s preliminary diagnosis, but Cousins believes that his
recovery is the result of a mysterious mind-
b
ody interaction. His “laugh therapy” is a good example
of one of the many alternative, or nonconventional, medical treatments people look to today.
26.a
According to the passage, which of the following may NOT be a symptom of the ankylosing
spondylitis?
(A) The patient’s body aches.
(B) The patient feels constantly tired.
(C) The patient becomes unusually vigorous.
(D) The patient feels it difficult to fall asleep.
的
27.a
How did Norman Cousins respond to his diagnosis?
(A) He became depressed and did nothing about his disease.
(B) He isolated himself entirely from society.
(C) He stopped reading anything and tried to sleep all the time.
(D) He was determined to overcome his disease and survive.
的

(A) Positive attitudes and emotions are the cures for all diseases.
(B) Positive attitudes and emotions may conduce to physical health.
(C) Alternative medical treatments are more effective than conventional ones.

No one knows exactly when jazz was invented, or by whom. But it began to be heard in the
early 1900s. Jazz was a new kind of music, for America and the world, and New Orleans was its
birthplace.
Who were the jazz pioneers? Most were blacks. This music was not written down, and at first
only blacks played it. It was hard for white musicians to learn the new style. But soon they, too,
were playing jazz.
The popularity of this music spread. From New Orleans, it traveled up the Mississippi to
Chicago, then to Kansas City and New York. By the 1920s, there were many jazz musicians, both
black and white. Many were outstanding; some were brilliant. One man was better than the rest. His
name was Louis Armstrong.
The career of Louis Armstrong spans jazz history, from its beginnings in New Orleans through
the many developments of later years. He was a born musician. He combined talent with a great deal
of hard work. He also had a good sense of humor and a big, good-natured grin. These personal
qualities were invaluable in his rise to fame. After he became well-known, he traveled around the
world. Everyone, it seemed, wanted to hear Louis play. But life was not always easy, especially at
the beginning.
Louis Armstrong was born in 1900 in a run-down section of New Orleans. His father was
illiterate and his mother could barely read. When Louis was still a kid, his parents separated, and
Louis lived with his mother. How hard their life was can readily be imagined. And yet Louis smile
d
through everything. He later wrote, “My whole life has been happiness. Life was there for me and I
accepted it. Whatever came out has been beautiful to me. I love everybody.”

For generations, mothers have been telling their children to eat more fresh fruits and
vegetables. But now they are being told that some fruits that contain chemicals could poison an
d
even cause cancer in their children. According to doctors, chemicals are found in bananas, apples,
peanuts, oranges, grapefruits, soybeans, and coffee. They can cause headaches and stomachaches,
cancer and even death.
One dangerous chemical is called Alar. ( Taiwan once stopped buying American apples afte
r
learning that they contained Alar, which might cause cancer in kids. ) Many parents are alarmed
because children eat more fruits and drink more fruit juice than adults do. Since children are smalle
r
than adults, there is no doubt that chemicals can have a stronger effect on children. As a result,
mothers are frustrated. For while they thought that their children would become healthier if they ate
more fruits and vegetables, now they are finding out that those foods are actually tainted and
harmful.
Removing all the chemicals from food is impossible. But parents may reduce the amount o
f
chemicals that remain on fruits and vegetables by washing and peeling them before giving them to
their children. If possible, parents should grow their own food. And if they are worried about Alar,
they may even avoid buying apple juice or American apples.

Many researchers are finding that the most serious disease for older people is not cancer o
r
heart disease but loneliness. In fact, love is the most important medicine we have, and pets are one
of nature’s best sources of love.
Dogs and cats help everyone overcome loneliness because they give companionship and
affection. Pets can make you laugh, take your mind away from your troubles, and help you make
more friends. Studies show that pets help us to relax, be healthy, and live longer. If you suffer from
heart disease or stress, a hug a day may keep the doctor away. But if hugs are hard to find, the next
best thing may be a dog or a cat in the lap. Besides, a pet can help us cope with the loss of a loved
one and help us adjust to a change in a living situation.
Many elderly and lonely individuals have discovered that pets satisfy their needs and keep them
in the world of deep emotional relationships. Having a pet to care for gives them a sense of self-worth.
According to a study in the Inter n ational Jour n al of Aging and Human Development, many elderly
Americans think having a pet is more important than moving to a convenient place to live where
pets are not allowed.
Patients in hospitals or nursing homes who have regular visits from pets are more eager to get
well. Visiting pets lift the spirits of residents. The elderly begin to care about the world around them
again. Talking to pets has a health benefit, too. When people talk to people, blood pressure tends to
go up, but when people talk to pets, blood pressure remains lower. In one study, depressed patients
who did not want to work to regain lost skills were given pets to play with. The pet therapy worked.
The patients began to smile and cooperate with the doctors.

In just a dozen years, the video display terminal ( VDT ) has completely taken over the modern
office. It is as prevalent in most businesses as the typewriter used to be. But nobody really has the
faintest idea about what effects these glowing screens might have on those who operate them.
At worst, women workers have blamed VDTs for causing miscarriages, although there is no
concrete evidence to support such charges. A health-care company study claimed that pregnant
workers who spent more than 20 hours a week on VDTs had twice the chance of miscarrying as
other workers. Even though the authors of that study said that it was too limited to draw definitive
conclusions, to be on the safe side, some companies now let pregnant workers switch to jobs that do
not require use of VDTs.
There is far less controversy about other VDT hazards. Several studies have linked VDTs to
eyestrain, bone problems and job dissatisfaction. One found that VDT workers complained more
than other workers about physical ailments, workloads and lack of control over their jobs. No
employer or manufacturer has ever been found liable by the courts for workers’ illnesses caused by
a VDT. But twenty-seven telephone operators in the U.S. have filed a complaint in court pointin
g
the finger at VDTs for a potentially crippling problem in the wrist. Manufacturers and employers
are awaiting the outcome of the case with baited breath.
Although very little is known about the effects of radiation emitted by VDTs, businesses
should not wait for results of more studies before taking some commonsense safety precautions.
Most European countries already prevent workers from spending more than four hours a day on
a
VDT. American businesses allow VDT workers frequent short breaks from work. Some give
workers special glasses to reduce glare from VDTs. One newspaper agency even provides regula
r
eye exams. While more research is needed, companies should take as many steps as possible to
make VDT work safe and comfortable.
46.a
What is the main idea of this passage?
(A) Based on the results of some studies, VDTs have caused many pregnant women to miscarry.
(B) Many people are concerned about VDTs because VDTs are thought of as having caused man
y
health problems.
(C) Companies should provide more medical care and health benefits to workers using VDTs
every day.
(D) VDTs are as common in modern offices and companies as typewriters were twenty years ago.

(A) provide regular waist examinations for their workers
(B) give their workers frequent breaks from work

According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

(C) In most European countries, workers are not allowed to spend more than four hours a day
on a VDT.
