Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so.“ 1 ” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure 2 The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. 3 Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman 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 disease. He told his patient 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. 4 : “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he should not smoke more than one cigarette a day.
5 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.”
A. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.
B. I think you should go to the doctor.
C. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule.
D. Work comes first.
E. Health is the greatest wealth.

G. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interests is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive design, There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a bank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.
The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later, the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine.

The influence of America is increasing in my country.
Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen
to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day.
I think that American movies
are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced
by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America,
and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.
In the last few years, the
government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at
least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from
other countries in Europe.
American culture is a
part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as
much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as
familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca
Cola for my whole life.
However, it’s different
with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful
in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be
the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.
On the other hand,
maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas.
It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more
popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s
obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives
every day.
1.From
the first paragraph we can know that ____.
A. the influence of America on Spain can be found
everywhere
B. most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their
own music
C. fast food spreads from Spain to the United States
D. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their
acting skills
2.Why
did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?
_________.
A. To protect foreign culture in Spain.
B. To earn more money from Spanish films.
C. To limit the number of foreign movies.
D. To unite the European Community.
3.Why
does the author think that McDonald’s is not as successful as it is in other
countries? ______
A. Its fast food contains too much fat.
