An old English saying goes,"Laughter is the best medicine." One person who certainly would
have agreed with that is Norman Cousins.
Norman Cousins was the editor of a magazine called Saturday Review for almost forty
years.He also wrote and spoke about world peace and anti - nuclear and anti - war issues.And
he traveled to many different countries to share his ideas.
In the 1960s,after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to
Europe,Mr.Cousins got sick.He discovered that he had a rare disease,known as ankylosing
spondylitis,which caused the joint between his bones to stiff.In less than a week after he got
sick,he could not stand.Every move that he made was painful.He was not able to sleep at
night.The doctors told Mr.Cousins that they did not know how to cure his illness and that he
might never get over it.Mr.Cousins,however,refused to stop hope.
Mr.Cousins thought that illness could be caused by unhappy thoughts.He did not want to take
medicine to cure himself.Instead,he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his
illness.So he began to experiment on himself while still in that hospital by watching comedy
shows on TV.Quickly Mr.Cousins found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave
him two hours of pain - free sleep at night.
Deciding that the doctors could not help him,Mr.Cousins left the hospital and checked into a
hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter.For eight days,Mr.Cousins
rested in the hotel room watching comedy show on TV，reading amusing books,and sleeping
whenever he felt tired.Within three weeks,he felt well enough to take a holiday to Puerto Rico
where he began running on the beach for exercise. 第3页，共20页 After a few months,Mr.Cousins was able to carry on his work.He had laughed himself back to
good health.

C. To share his ideas on peace. D. To advertise his magazine.
10. What did the doctor think of Mr.Cousins' disease？ ______

C. Not serious. D. Incurable.
11. How did Mr.Cousins try to cure his illness？ ______
A. Resting in bed. B. Taking medicine.
C. Doing physical exercise. D. Watching comedy shows.

When I first arrived in Terrassa,Spain,I was excited and nervous to start a new adventure in a
country I love.The first few days seem so long ago now,trying to find a place to live,organising
my timetable with the schools,meeting new people.
After a couple of weeks,the excitement started to fade，however,and homesickness started to
set in.It wasn't a powerful homesickness but enough to make me spend more than a few nights
thinking about family and friends back home,wondering if I should be there with them.
All that started to change after meeting some new friends and spending good time with
