    Five thousand years ago, people thought that illnesses were the result of evil living in human bodies. They also believed that gods and superior spirits were punishing people through diseases. The practice of magic and witchcraft (巫术) was popular among many tribes, and charms (符咒) and images of gods to drive away the evil spirits were often used.
    People also started using herbal(草药的) medicine and by trial and error (反复试验，不断摸索) learned how to cure stomachaches and fevers. They had a witch doctor in the community. He would treat people with simple herbal medicine and magic. Early medicine was practiced the way north tribal Indians did hundreds of years ago and the way some tribes practice it today.
    The ancient Chinese believed that the body was ruled by two forces, which they called “yin” and “yang”. The body would become ill if one force overcame the other and the balance between them was changed. Acupuncture (针刺疗法) was the way to bring back the balance between the two.
    Also sand painting was an important part of Navaho medicine. The medicine man paints loosely upon the floor of an earth-covered house, where the ceremony takes place, or on a buckskin (鹿皮) or a piece of cloth, by letting the colored sands flow through his fingers with control and skill.
    Ancient Mesopotamians believed that diseases come either from an evil spirit or a physical problem, such as worms. The doctor would decide from which source the illness has come from and send the patient either to a herbalist or to a witch doctor.
    Egyptians had a very advanced medicine. They would sometimes rely on the god’s power to receive healing, but they also treated illnesses and operated on minor health problems like snake bites. They sucked the blood from the wound and bound the affected limb to stop the poison from spreading.
    66. The practice of magic and witchcraft was popular in ancient times because ________ .
    A. people could avoid being punished by gods and superior spirits by doing this.
    B. people thought they could avoid getting diseases in this way.

    D. people often got diseases and this way was very effective.
    67. How many places are mentioned where early medicine existed in the passage?
    A. Three.     B. Four.      C. Five.      D. Six.
    68. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.
    A. people can cure lots of diseases by combining herbal medicine and magic.
    B. herbal medicine is so effective that it can cure all kinds of diseases.
    C. witch doctors treated people only with herbal medicine.
    D. people tried lots of times to cure illnesses with herbal medicine.
    69. Ancient Chinese people believed that ________.
    A. diseases were the result of evil living in human bodies.
    B. people would fall ill if the balance in human bodies was disturbed.
    C. a medicine man could cure people’s diseases by sand painting.
    D. diseases not only came from evil spirits but also were physical problems
    70. The passage mainly tells us ________.

    Talk about happiness
    We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what we’ve done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity to find a way out in our lives, for it goes off swiftly. We should say something urgent slowly, something serious clearly, something small humorously and something unsure cautiously. We should never say something that did not happen, something that you cannot do, something that does harm to others, and something that is disgusting. We should tell others our happiness on specific occasions and should not tell anyone our unhappiness. Do not easily say something about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do instead of merely paying lip service and looking forward to the future.
    Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness. To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand what happiness is really about and achieve what we desire.
    We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in the course of socializing. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything morally and legally, we can live a peaceful life. But if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart man knows to learn a lesson from his falls, for he knows that every setback is a precious experience leading to happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing others. Instead, he tends to spend more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience and not to spread others’ mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards. Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life.
    Without happiness, one will feel terribly miserable, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all the time and that others often do wrong to him. He blames every mistake on others or the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness. A celebrity once said, “Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because of his ignorance.” Therefore, if someone makes mistakes, we need to care about him, forgive him and enlighten him by setting a good example to him instead of losing temper and hating him. Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from happiness.
    In order to possess a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture and history. We should be patriotic(爱国的), obey the law and realize our own responsibility, and then we will definitely have a happy life.

    阅读理解
         Richard Wagner was a German musician who lived in the mid-19th century. He gained fame by
    writing operas, a form of performance combining singing, music on
    instruments , and drama.
         Wagner's lif'e and work have been very controversial(引起争议的). While he  wrote  excellent 
     music, many people think his operas are too dark and serious,lacking the fun in most operas written
    before his time.
         Wagner,on the other hand, thought the opera of his time was too simple. He wanted to make opera
    a serious form of art that combined drama and music to tell deep stories that would have a strong effect
    on the audience.
         Some people thought Wagner's new kind of music was too different from the operas they were used
    to hearing. Wagner agreed with them. In fact, he didn't call his works "operas" at all but using a German
    word that means " Musical Festival" or " Musical Play" .
          While many people today still do not like Wagner's operas,they cannot deny that Wagner has had a
    lot of influence on opera as a form of art. Wagner invented the tradition of turning off the lights before
    starting a play. He also was the first person to make the whole audience sit down for an entire play.
    Today, almost all operas are performed in this manner.
         Wagner as a man was even more controversial than Wagner as a writer of music. He hated Jewish
    people , slept with his friends' wives,and made many people angry-lots of things we would today think
    of as evil. Some would say he was a good musician, while others hold that he was a bad musician. But it
    would be difficult to say he was not an important person in music: and in the world.
    1. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
    A. Richard Wagner is not worth talking about.
    B. Richard Wagner was an evil man.
    C. Richard Wagner wrote operas.
    D. Richard Wagner is a very controversial man.

        paragraph three?  
    A. The ocean is very deep.
    B. He has a very deep , booming voice.
    C. It is not easy to tell the meaning of this poem,because the poet is very deep.
    D. We had the deep issue resolved last week.
    3. Which of the following is not a way in which Wagner's works were different from normal operas
       before his time?   
    A. Wagner called his works "Musical Festival".
    B. Wagner used a combination of drama, music on instruments, and singing.
    C. Wagner turned off the lights before starting a play.
    D. Wagner made the whole audience sit down for an entire performance.
    4.  Which of the following does not support the point that the author makes in the last sentence?    
    A. Few musicians have been affected by Wagner's works.
    B. Most writers of opera today think opera as a serious form of music.
    C. Today, all operas are performed with the lights off before starting and the audience seated.
    D. Wagner's music had a big influence on Adolf Hitler.
