25、   Now and then we get ill. Then we usually go to a doctor. Doctor knows a lot about what can makes us ill. They may give us some medicine to take. The medicine often makes us well again.

But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. A sick person does not get well. The pain will not go away. This happened to Jimmy. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This “doctor” was his own sense of humor (幽默). He saw funny films. He read funny books. And then something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so, too.

Another man, Mario, was ill. And he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctor could not stop it. So the man began to “picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it was a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!

These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So visit the “doctor” inside your own head and you can stay happy and well.

根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示，不正确的用“B”表示。

【1】Medicine can make sick people well again all the time.

【2】Jimmy’s new “doctor” was his own sense of humor.

【3】Films and books were Jimmy’s best medicine.

【4】Mario had a sore back and the doctor couldn’t stop it.

【5】Visiting the “doctor” inside our own head can make us happy and well.

26、Lost in the Mountain

Teenager Jake Deham was skiing (滑雪) with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis. His family didn’t know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.

Jake couldn’t find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.

It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm(镇定). At home, Jake watched a lot of programs about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programs and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn’t blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous —15℃that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.

But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programs always said,“ If you are lost, you should find someone else’ s tracks (足迹) through the snow and follow them.” “I wanted to live my life.” remembers Jake. “So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those.” He walked and walked and finally he saw lights. Nine hours after he lost his ski, he found a team of worker who came to save him. He was safe!

His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didn’t even have to go to hospital. He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.
