Question

【题目】Is there anything more important than health? I don′t think so. You can′ t be good at your studies or work when you are ill. If you have a headache, or a bad cough, or a high temperature and a bad cold, I think you should go to the doctor.

The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse(脉), sound your heart and lungs(肺), and take your temperature. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

Speaking of doctor′s advice, I can′t help telling you a funny story.

An old man came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his illness.

He told the old man to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enioy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn′t smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor′s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

“But you know, doctor,” he said, “It′s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
