The Long Hiccup

It all started with Indian food. But it ended in hospital.

For many people the subject of hiccups is a joke. But for Harry Mendes, a

fifteen-year-old school boy from Birmingham, it was something quite different.

His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and continued day and night for two

weeks. After the first week, Harry’s parents took him to hospital, but it took another

week for the doctors to cure his attack.

Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.

“ When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but didn’t do any good. That

evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my ’t

work either.”

After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctor took an X-ray of

his chest but they couldn’t find anything wrong.

“ They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another

week before the medicine worked completely and my hoccups stopped.”

Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles

Smith, who hiccuped for 69 years and 5 months. He stopped in 1990 at last, but

nobody knows why.

1. Harry’s hiccups lasted_________

A. a week B. fourteen days C. twenty-eight days D. one month

2. His hiccups started after he _______.

A.drank a glass of water B.went to hospital

C.ate an Indian meal D.finished his homework

3. His parents decided to take him to hospital when he ________.

A hiccuped for four seconds B. held his breath

C. hiccuped at night D. couldn’t stop hiccupping

4. His hiccups completely stopped one week after the doctor _______.

A. gave him some medicine B. took an X-ray of his chest

C. gave him a shock D. let him drink cold drinks

5. What does “ shock” in this passage mean in Chinese?

A.震惊 B.休克 C.喷嚏 D.哈欠

B

In the future, life will be much better. Maybe there will be vision phones in every family. People

can have a medical examination without a doctor or a nurse in the room. If people want to do

shopping, they do not need to leave their homes. And what about education?

There will be more educational programes on the radio or on the TV, even on the internet. So

many children who live in far-away villages don’t need go to school every day. They can study at

home. Each family will have a robot. Robots will help people with their homework.

Maybe some people will go to the moon for a holiday and some people can live under the sea

in hot summer.

Complete the sentences.

1. If you are ill, you can see the doctor ____________ in the future.

2. In the future, __________ can help people do the housework.

3. In the future, students can study on ___________.

4. Some people can live under the sea __________________.

My name is Lily. I admire many famous players in China, such as Wang Nan, Guo Jingjing and

Wang Junxia. But my favorite one is Wang Junxia. She was an outstanding runner about ten years

ago. Now she doesn’t take part in any running match any more, but I still like her. She grew up

and practiced in running. Junren, taught her a lot about running. And she practiced very hard, so she took part in many

international matches and became a runner champion in the 26th Olympic Games in 1996. Later,

she won some other champions in China. But now, she stopped running and became a loving

mother. Maybe she has a happy life with her family now.

Dear Mum and Dad,

How are you? It’s after lunch. I’m writing to you from my camp.

Yesterday we left school at 8:00 am. The camp is only 200 miles from our home, and the

school bus got us here at noon.

I share a room with three boys. Two of them know how to use computers. They’re in Mr

Green’s class. I’m learning how to use computers, so I am in Mrs Brown’s class. I have to design

my own program this week. All of the campers have to. I want to design a game. Then I can teach

it to you.

We must take part in two other activities every day. I am going to choose swimming and

tennis. In my free time, I am going to play games on the computers. So are most of the campers. I

like camping, but I don’t like the food. It’s very bad. We have our breakfast, lunch and supper in a

very big room. When we are eating, everyone is talking and there’s a lot of noise. I have to say

“goodbye” now. See you in two weeks.

Love,

Chris

His hiccup began one Sunday lunchtime and continued(持续) day and night for two weeks. After the first week, Harry’s parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure(治愈) his hiccups.

Harry, who is now back at school, told what happened to him.

“When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didn’t do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath(屏住呼吸) and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn’t work either.”

After a week, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray(X射线) of his chest but they couldn’t find anything wrong.

“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked and my hiccups stopped.”

Harry was very lucky. The world record holder of hiccupping is the American farmer Charles Smith, who hiccupped for more than sixty-nine years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.

His hiccups began one Sunday lunchtime and continued day and night for two weeks. After the first week, Harry’s parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack. Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.

“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.”

B

Children are amazing language learners! They’re able to pick up new languages quickly and easily, without any accent （口音）. Adults, on the other hand, have to study hard to learn another language, and even then, they usually never lose their native （本族语的） accents. Why? What makes children different? One explanation （解释） has to do with the muscles （肌肉） that control the movement in our mouths. In our mouths, there are hundreds of muscles that control the movements of our tongue, lips, cheeks, and so on. In children ,their muscles are still flexible （灵活的），so it’s easier for them to move their mouths into new positions （位置） to make new sounds. In adults, the muscles are less flexible, so it’s more difficult for them to make sounds that aren’t in their native language.

Another explanation has to do with our brains. There are two sides to our brains- the left side and the right side. In adults, each side of our brain helps us to do different things. For example, the left side of our brain helps us to think through problems step by step, while the right side helps us to remember things we see, hear, and feel. In children, however, the brain isn’t yet divided （在两者间划分界线） into a left and a right side. Some researchers believe that this helps children to be more flexible language learners. In other words, their brains are more open to differences in a new language.

61．According to the passage above, children learn languages than adults.

A、more easily B、less easily C、more correctly D、much more slowly 62．The muscles in children’s mouths are .This allows them to make new sounds easily.

A、long B、flexible C、different D、young 63．There are two sides to an adult brain, and each side helps to .

A、become flexible language learners B、think through problems C、make decisions D、do different things 64．Child’s brain iA、divided into a left and a right side B、not yet divided into a left and a right side C、going to develop into a left-sided brain D、going to develop into a right-sided brain 65．Which one of the following statements i.

A、It is hard for an adult to study a new language while not losing his native accent. B、Children can learn a language more easily because their brains develop very fast. C、Children can become flexible language learners when they grow up. D、Adult’s brains are more open to different languages.

The Secrets of Sleep

Babies sleep for up to eighteen hours a day. Sleep, no one can live wi Research( 研究 )by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours’ sleep every night .

It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older idirector of the Foundation says. “Good health needs good sleep.”

“m Horne. “Sleep is like food and drink ,”he believes: “__” Professor Horne studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed; after ten hours they didn’t find it any easier to get up in the morning. And people who sleep for more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight.

The long Hiccup打嗝

It all started with Indian food but it ended in hospital.

For many people the subject of hiccups is a joke，but for Harry Mendis，a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham，it was something quite different.

His hiccups began on Sunday lunchtime and continued (持续) day and night for two weeks.After the first week，Harry's parents took him to hospital，but it took another week for the doctors to cure (治愈) his hiccups.

Harry，who is now back at school，told what happened to him.

“When I began to hiccup，I drank a glass of water but that didn't work.That evening I had hiccups every four seconds.We tried everything to stop them.I held my breath(屏住呼吸)and drank cold drinks.My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either.”

After a week，he went to the hospital.The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldn't find anything wrong.

“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down，but it was another week before the medicine worked and my hiccups stopped.”

Harry was very lucky.The world record holder of hiccupping is the American farmer Charles Smith，who hiccupped for more than sixty-nine years.He stopped in 1990 at last，but nobody knows why.

6．Harry hiccupped for ______.

A．a week B．fourteen days C．three weeks D．one month

Now I’m studying at a senior middle school. Every day morning, on my way to school, the rising sun greets me with a smile. At class I enjoy putting my heart into listening to the teachers.

How happy the life is！I’m sure I will never forget the wonderful time at school.
