I have to See Another Doctor

　　Mr. Clarke lives at the foot of the mountain. He keeps the forest for a rich farmer there. The only road to the forest is just in front of his house. He can easily see the people who want to enter the forest. Sometimes he has to be on duty at night. When he hears some sound, he has to get up to see if someone cuts the trees.

　　One day he bought something in the town. He found a strong dog and bought it. He loves it very much and often gives some meat or bread to it. And when a strange man walks close to his house, it barks (吠) loudly. So he can soon know about it and goes out to find out who it is. But last week something was wrong with Mr. Clarke. He didn't feel well and couldn't fall asleep in the evening. He had to go to a hospital in the town. The doctor looked him over and then asked, “Have you got a dog, sir?”

　　“Yes, I have got one.”

　　“You have got a skin disease (皮肤病),” said the doctor. “I am sure your dog infected (传染) it to you. You can't come in touch with it any longer.”

　　When he came out of the hospital, he met a friend and told him about it. The man asked, “What are you going to do, to sell your dog or to give it to another man?”

How should one invest a sum of money in these clays of inflation (通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.
I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves（奴隶）."
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring（量） the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable（可靠的） ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit（收益）?
小题1:According to the passage, collecting antique clocks____.

A．can hardly keep the value of your savings

D．compare chocks to human beings

小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?

A．Counting the beating of one's own heart.

B．Making use of candles, sand and water.

C．Observing shadows cast by the sun.

A pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must give the public what they really want
and need, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded
and his records are sold everywhere, he can not relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular,
because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.
The life of a successful pop singer isn't easy at all. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything
he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important
people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concert, and they make him rich and
famous. But they can be very dangerous, too. Sometimes they do anything to get a souvenir (纪念品). They
steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer's hair. Many
singers have been forced to ride (即兴表演). A pop singer has to pay a lot of money for clothes because he
must always look smart and different. And what's more, he must always keep smiling.
