I used to collect $2 bills. They were rare, and I thought that meant they were lucky, but rare and lucky are not the same thing.
In the spring of 2014, I began suffering from severe pain and tiredness, which I originally chalked up to overwork. I had an examination. A few days later, I was told that I had stomach cancer. The chance of getting this disease was approximately 0.9 percent.
I immediately wanted to know my odds (几率) of survival. My doctor refused to predict my future and told me to ignore my survival odds, which were a low 9 percent. He pointed out an error that people make when looking at statistics. If you survive, he reminded me, you'll survive 100 percent. No one survives 9 percent.
After I finished my treatments, months passed and my cancer did not return. According to my doctors, the longer I went without a recurrence (复发), the less likely I was to have one. That meant my odds of survival actually increased over time. By November 2015, I had gone 19 months with no evidence of the disease, and based on the calculations of a physicist friend of mine, my odds of survival were 70 percent. The chances were high — very high — that I would beat my cancer for good.
Around Christmas of that year, however, I began to have trouble eating. One night, shortly after a small meal, I started to feel the sensation of being repeatedly stabbed in the belly with a knife. I went to the emergency room. My cancer had returned.
Looking back, I'd used survival rates to measure the amount of hope I could give rope to. However, cancer does not respect the rational nature of numbers. It operates within its own cruel logic.
My 10-year-old niece recently saw one of the $2 bills that I carry in my wallet. She'd never seen one before, and asked me if she could have it. I hesitated, wondering if I was going to have to either dispense with (摒弃) some good luck, or saddle (使肩负重担) her with the opposite. But the hesitation passed, and I handed her the note.
24. What happened to the author in 2014
A. He got a rare disease.
B. He was beaten by overwork.
C. He started collecting $2 bills.
D. He found the power of statistics.
25. How did the author's doctor look at survival odds
A. They mean nothing.
B. They worry patients a lot.
C. They are doctors' business.
D. They give doctors false hope.
26. What can we learn about the author's cancer recurrence
A. It killed his hope.
B. It was completely a shock.
C. It forced him to accept reality.
D. It changed his opinion of numbers.
27. The author's act of giving his niece the $2 bill shows _____.
A. his decision to share his hobby
B. his hope to get rid of ill luck
C. his wish to give her good luck
D. his disbelief in lucky things
C
We all want to believe that laughter is good for what makes us ill, but the science backing that up is thin. Most studies have been small and have relied on self-reported assessments.
However, a few studies relying on lab testing do show some benefits. “A big laugh leads to the release (释放) of endorphins (chemicals that can make you feel happier) from the brain,” says Michael Miller from the University of Maryland Medical Center.
A 2005 study by Miller measured the blood flow of 20 volunteers before and after watching a funny movie and a sad movie. After the sad movie, blood flow was more restricted in 14 of the 20 viewers. But after the movie that made them laugh, average blood flow increased by 22 percent.
Financial backing for laughter and humor research is weak — so weak that when Mary Bennett, director of the Western Kentucky University School of Nursing, wanted to look into the effect of laughter on the immune (免疫) system, she found herself asking other researchers for equipment from their labs. “It's really hard to get taken seriously when you say you study laughter,” she says.
But her study of 33 healthy women, published in 2003, showed that those who laughed at a humorous movie had higher levels of natural killer cell activity, which increased their ability to fight off disease. However, the effect was seen only in the subjects who laughed out loud, not in those who quietly watched the comedy.
But most of the research on laughter and health depends on personal feelings or opinions rather than scientific facts. One study of 70 depressed elderly women found that laughter yoga was just as effective as exercise in improving mood, as measured by self-satisfaction reports by subjects.
When Bennett is asked whether laughter cures or prevents any disease, her quick answer is a simple “No.” Still, she adds, “I think it's a useful add-on to real medicine. If you're receiving medicinal treatment, anything you can do to help you stay healthy through something unpleasant will help.”
28. What does the 2005 study show
A. Funny movies may cause blood problems.
B. Endorphins may make people happier.
C. Sad movies are harmful to patients.
D. Laughter may benefit health.
29. What is a difficult problem for Bennett
A. How to lead a research team.
B. How to study laughter and humor.
C. How to get support for her research.
D. How to do research on the immune system.
30. Who got health benefits from watching comedies in the 2003 study
A. Those who watched quietly.
B. Those who laughed aloud.
C. Those who watched often.
D. Those who laughed a lot.
31. What does Bennett say about laughter
A. It is effective in a limited way.
B. It can only cure some diseases.
C. It may replace some real medicine.
D. It will become a popular treatment.
D
National Football League (NFL) playoffs take center stage in January. Pro football continues to pull in the largest TV audiences, but some wonder whether ratings problems show a long-term trend.
Viewership was down by double digits for prime-time (电视的黄金时间的) games through much of 2016. Among the reasons cited: the retirement of quarterback Peyton Manning, the absence of suspended quarterback Tom Brady during the first month of play, a nation attracted by the spectacle of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton battling, and growing concerns over player safety.
“I think there were a lot of ingredients in the stew this year,” said Mike Tirico, former play-by-play voice of ESPN's “Monday Night Football” who is part of NBC's NFL coverage.
Mr. Tirico also mentioned a generational shift in great teams and players, which can lead to decreases in interest until fans become familiar with the next great teams and stars. And it's only a recent occurrence for the NFL to schedule (安排时间) Thursday prime-time games through the entirety of the regular season, points out Tirico. That means prime-time games are played on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday. It's unlikely that a 32-team league can come up with exciting matchups for most of those time slots (时间段).
Despite the concerns, analysts don't see 2016 as a canary in the coal mine. By late in the season, ratings for all games (not just those during prime time) were off by 10 percent, according to ESPN, increasing from a previous 14 percent through Election Day. And the popular Dallas Cowboys, who were featured in several December prime-time games, generated strong interest.
Translation: By Super Sunday, the NFL believes it will be close to its normal TV winning ways. But the question will hang around till next season: Has the glut (供应过剩) of pro football, plus concerns over player safety, changed its place as America's most popular sport
32. What do we know about the NFL ratings drop in 2016
A. It resulted in Trump's new policy.
B. It forced some great players to retire.
C. It was partly due to concerns over player safety.
D. It was followed by a sharp rise in January, 2017.
33. In Tirico's eyes, the rescheduling of the NFL _____.
A. will negatively affect its ratings
B. can meet the need of TV audiences
C. helps popularize new players
D. will ruin the sport in the end
34. What does the underlined part imply
A. Analysts support the Dallas Cowboys.
B. Analysts turn a blind eye to the drop.
C. Analysts insist all games be considered.
D. Analysts are positive about the NFL ratings.
35. What is discussed in the text
A. What's concerning the NFL
B. Are pro sports losing their TV fans
C. What's behind the NFL ratings drop
D. Has football found its place in America

This weekend, I watched a film naming Dangal, which tells the story of a father and his two daughters. After that the father finds the girls have a gift for wrestling (摔跤), he trains them hardly. People can't understand him, because they think wrestling is for men only. So the father ignores their strange look. Finally, when the elder sister wins an international match and realize her father's dream, exciting tears run down her cheeks. Her achievement encourages more India girls to learn wrestling. The film was great and I deeply moved by the love the father shows his daughters. I think it is worth seeing the second time.
