四、阅读理解
(一)
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. Then something wonderful happened. Laughter 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 laughter 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!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As we all know, bad reading habits can easily lead to myopia. Of course, long-time use of mobile phones and computers is also the main reason to cause myopia. You
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
know the light they give off is harmful to our eyes. To protect the eyesight, first of all, I often go out of the classroom to play with my classmates or do physical exercises during the breaks. In my free time, I also try hard to avoid using the mobile phones or computers for a long time. Besides, doing eye exercises plays an important role in relaxing my tired eyes. Lastly, I usually have my eyes examined every term to make sure my eyes stay healthy.
I hope my ways can be helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
THANKS!
