Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so.“Health is the greatest wealth(财富),” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you plain 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, I think you should go to the doctor.
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. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
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. 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.”

(答案→)A
解析：文章介绍了健康的重要性，同时讲述了有病以后一定要看医生，因为医生的建议很有用，并举例说明了医生的话很有用。
【小题1】A 细节题。根据文章第一段Health is the greatest wealth(财富)说明作者认为健康是最重要的，故A正确。
【小题2】B 细节题。根据第三段第三行After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine.说明在进行了一系列的检查以后，医生会给出建议，故B正确，
【小题3】A 猜测词义题。根据本句He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. 他对医生表示感谢，同时这里还使用了否定词与比较级连用表示最高级，指他感觉最健康。故A正确。
【小题4】B 文章到第二段开始列举了很多的例子，说明本文是通过举例说明的方法来组织全文的，故B正确。
【小题5】D 推理题。根据文章第一段说健康最重要，说明A错误；根据文章第二段说明医生会仔细检查病人，B错误。根据文章第二段人感觉不好的时候要去看医生，说明C错误。根据第三段最后一句话The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.可知我们要听医生的话，是因为医生的建议通常是有效的。故D正确。
