Nick Petrels is a doctor in Montreal. He works 60 hours a week. He takes care of 159 patients a week in the hospital and at his office. He’s been a doctor for ten years.

Dr. Petrels gives his patients good medical advice. But he doesn’t just tell his patients what to do. He also sings to them on television! Dr. Petrels has his own TV show. The show is in Italian, English and French. The doctor starts the show with a song and then gives medical advice. He explains a medical problem or disease in simple language. After that, he sings another song.

Dr. Petrels produces and performs in his own show every week. The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing. His dream is to perform(表演) in Las Vegas. His favorite songs are love songs, and he has a compact disk of love songs that he wrote. Dr. Petrels says, “I always loved to sing. All my problems are gone when I sing.” But when Dr. Petrels was young, his father didn’t want him to be a singer, so he went to medical school.

Some people tell Dr. Petrels he can help people more as a doctor. But Dr. Petrels says he helps people when he sings, too. “I like to make people smile. Sometimes it’s difficult to make a sick person smile. Medicine and entertainment(娛樂) both try to do the same thing. They try to make people feel good.”

解析:

1、第1段告訴我們“He takes care of 159 patients a week”，如此多的病人，難怪“He works 60 hours a week”。

2、由第2段的“He also sings to them on television”，我們可得知他被稱為“a singing doctor”的原因。

3、根據(jù)第2段的“The doctor starts the show with a song and then gives medical advice”，我們便可知道Dr. Petrel在他的節(jié)目中干些什么。

4、根據(jù)第3段的第2句“The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing”可推知答案為C。Dr. Petrel受歡迎的不只在Las Vegas這些地方和Patient這些人。

5、最后一句的“They try to make people feel good”告訴了我們Dr. Petrels想干什么。

                           The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

   Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet... We are surroundedby the word "diet" everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attractedby the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking aboutwhat diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us

psychologically and physically.

   Diet products significantly weakenus psychologically. On one level, we are not

allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the

weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods.

Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale

instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.

   On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time wehave a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that wedon't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

   The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have onus, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm ourbodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing ourbodies from having basic nutrients (營養(yǎng)成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zerocalorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonderproducts. Diet products, may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into dietproducts are potentially dangerous.                                                                                                                                                                                          

   Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time toseriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not inthe power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist

diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using

them.

41. From Paragraph 1, we learn that__________.

  A. diet products fail to bring out people's potential

  B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products

  C. diet products are misleading people

  D. people are fed up with diet products

42. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to__________.

  A. try out a variety of diet foods

  B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.

  C. pay attention to their own eating habits

  D. watch their weight rather than their diet

43. In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means________.

  A. losing weight is effortless

  B. it costs a lot to lose weight

  C. diet products bring no pain

  D. diet products are free from calories                        ,

44. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products_________.

  A. are over-consumed

  B. lack basic nutrients

  C. are short of chemicals

  D. provide too much energy

45. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

  Wishing to encourage her young son to make more progress on the piano，a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated，the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall，the little boy rose and eventually found his way through a door marked "NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.

  Suddenly，the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. To her horror，the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard，innocently picking out Twinkle，Twinkle Little Star.

     At that moment, the great pianist made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit. Keep playing." Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a melody. Together, the old master and the young beginner transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was amazed and, as it finished, they cheered.

     That's the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't exactly graceful flowing music. But when we put our trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our life's work can be truly beautiful. Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit, keep playing.

56. The mother took her son to the concert so that the boy could _______.

    A. be encouraged to be a brave man          B. become a famous pianist

    C. be inspired to achieve more              D. be a great artist

57. The reason why the boy went to the piano was that

    A. he was encouraged to explore  B. his mother forced him to have a look

    C. be was invited to by the pianist           D. he was exploring the concert hall

58. What the famous pianist did at the beginning of the concert showed ________.

    A. what a great pianist he was              B. what a skilled pianist he was

    C. what an upright man he was                D. what a strong man he was

59. What did the author really want to tell us in the last paragraph?

    A. Not being interrupted by others is important.

    B. Life needs one's own effort combined with guidance and cooperation.

    C. It is necessary for us to keep doing everything.

    D. It is important for us to get help from a famous person.
