Is there anything more important than health？I don’t think so.You can’t be good at your studies or work when you are ill.
If you have a headache，or a bad cough，if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold，I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat，feel your pulse，take your temperature，sound your heart and lungs.After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine.The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking of doctor’s advice，I can’t help telling you a funny story.
An old man 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.In other words，the doctor advised him to follow the rule：“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 shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.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.”

解析：没有什么比健康更重要的，包括金钱财富。如果我们生病了，我们当然要听取医生的建议。然而如果你在听取了医生的处方并执行后，发现有些症状你并没有，会是什么样呢？
【小题1】细节理解题。文章开篇一直在讨论健康的意义。由“Is there anything more important than health？I don’t think so.”可知作者认为健康比财富更重要。故选A。
【小题2】细节理解题。“The doctor will examine your throat，feel your pulse，take your temperature，sound your heart and lungs.After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine.”可知医生一般是在诊断了病人的病情后告诉病人该怎么做。故选B。
【小题3】推理判断题。由上下文可知男子身体恢复的很好，所以应该是他“以前从没感觉那么好过”。故选A。
【小题4】推理判断题。男子说“从他这个年纪在开始学习吸烟是不容易的”，因此判断他在此之前不吸烟。故选C。
