Jim suffered heart problems.In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.

When his heart problems led to operation,Jim went through it successfully,and a full recovery was expected.Within days,however,his heart was not beating properly.Jim was rushed back to operation,but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness.He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.

Dr.Bruce Smoller,a psychologist(心理学家),had had many conversations with him,and the more he learned,the stranger he realized Jim’s case was.When Jim was a child,his father,a teacher,suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover.One morning Jim asked his father to look over his homework,promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up.His father agreed,but when Jim returned his father had died.Jim’s father was 48.

“I think all his life Jim believed he killed his father,”Dr. Smoller says.“He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework,his father would have lived.Jim had been troubled by the idea.The operation was the trial(判决) he had expected for forty years.”Smoller believes that Jim willed himself not to live to the age of 48.

Jim’s case shows the powerful role that attitude(态度) plays in physical health,and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups.Although most cases are less direct than Jim’s,studies show that childhood events,besides genes,may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer,heart disease and mental illness.

Jim was sent back to operation because ______.

A.his heart didn’t work well

A.Jim died at a young age.

B.Jim died on the operating table.

C.Both Jim and his father died of the same disease.

D.Jim’s death is closely connected with his father’s.

From Smoller’s words,we can infer that ______.

A.Jim’s father cared little about his study

B.Smoller agreed that Jim did kill his father

C.Jim thought he would be punished some day

D.Smoller believed Jim wouldn’t live to the age of 48

Which of the following could have strong effect on one’s physical health according to the text?

 When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness？?

Have you read the book “The Wolf Totem” by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever  36  the wolves' world? If you had, you would  37  the wolves.?

In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about  38  than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to  39  full use of the shape of land to  40  sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be    41   experts good at fighting.?

The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand  42  . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A  43  wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves  44  nothing. All the wolves obey the rules.  45   they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork  46  makes wolves powerful.?

The wolves also have great self-respect and won't  47  to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”,  48  stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 49  , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with  50  wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was  51   and he never gave in, fighting  52   his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.?

I was shocked by this kind of  53  : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a  54  way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and  55   in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!
