Almost everyone suffers from a headache sometimes. But some people suffer from repeated, frequent headaches.

What is headache? What causes it? What can be done about a headache? What research is being done on headaches?

The dictionary defines(下定义) headache simply as “a pain in the head.” What most people mean by headache is a pain which lasts several minutes or hours. It covers the whole head, or one side of it, or perhaps the front or the back of the head. To add to the confusion(困惑) about a definition, some people call tight feeling in the head a headache.

A headache is important because it can be the first warning of a serious condition which probably could be controlled if discovered early. If a person removes the warning, day after day, with a pain-killer, he may pass the point of easy control.

The professional name for covering up a symptom(症状) is “masking” (遮蔽). A headache specialist once said, “Masking symptoms is not the best way of treatment.” He compared taking a pain-killer for a headache before a cause is known with taking iron pills for anemia(贫血症) while bleeding continues undiscovered. He added, “Sometimes it is wiser to stand still than to advance in darkness.

A headache is important also because it affects normal, happy living. The employee with a headache does less work. In a flash of temper he may upset his fellow workers or customers, causing a direct or indirect loss to his organization. The mother with a headache suffers and disturbs the family. She upsets her husband and children.

67. Which is true according to the passage?

A. Headache has no effect on others.

B. you’d better do nothing before you know how to deal with it

C. you’d better still stand there without moving when it is dark at night

D. you should take some pain-killers for your headache if you want to cover it up

With long brown hair, deep blue eyes, a tall and thin figure(身躯) Brad Pitt seems to be a born actor. He made his first appearance in a film in 1990. Though he was in the film for only 14 minutes, people flooded the cinema to see him. In his next film Pitt played the role of a fisherman. To make the film better, he learned the skill of fishing from a fisherman.

Pitt, caring more about roles than money, has a special favor for the “hard” roles. After reading the screenplay(剧本) of “Legends of the Fall”, he was attracted by the leading character. He asked for a lower pay from the shooting team and was willing to work in hard conditions in the Rocky Mountains for six months. “The film gives the chance to know life. I shall always remember the time when we were making the film,” Pitt said after completing it fully.

Pitt started his dream of art when he was in university. Though born in a common family in 1964, he showed his interest in film at an early age. After leaving high school, he went to university to study law.

In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was travelling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.

After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor and said, “Son, you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn’t believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.

On the way out of town, he began to understand what the owner did. Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. “Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn’t embarrass(使尴尬)me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.”

Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars.
