A

For many people the subject of hiccups (嗝) is a joke, but for Harry Mendes, a fifteen-year-old

schoolboy from Birmingham, it was something quite different.

His hiccups began one Sunday lunch time and continued day and night for two weeks. After the

first week, Harry's parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his

attack.

Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.

“When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didn't do any good. That evening I

had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold

drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either. ”

After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but

they couldn't find anything wrong.

“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before

the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped. ”

Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne, who

hiccupped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.

( )'s hiccups lasted ____ .

A. a week B. fourteen days C. twenty-eight days D. one month

( ) hiccups started after he __________ .

A. drank a glass of water B. went to hospital

C. ate an Indian meal D. finished his homework （ ） parents decided to take him to hospital when he _______ .

A. hiccupped for four seconds B. held his breath

C. hiccupped at night D. couldn't stop hiccupping

（ ） hiccups completely stopped one week after the doctor ________ .

A. gave him some medicine B. took an X-ray of his chest

him a shock D. let him drink cold drinks

（ ） does “ shockn”thiis passage mean

A.震惊 B.休克 C.喷嚏 D.哈欠
