【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 putting on his boots and tying the laces（鞋帶）. With one boot finished, he said, “Bus.”At that point one of the girls went outside to the garden gate and waited there. Her job was to stop the bus when it came. It came early sometimes, and it had to wait for my father. “Overcoat, hat.” One of my sisters had already brushed his overcoat. Now she held it open for him and guided his arms into it. Then she pulled his jacket down under the coat. Another girl came with his hat, nicely brushed. “Handkerchief, pipe.” They were brought and put, with his tobacco, into his pockets. He looked out of the window and said either ‘Walking stick’ or ‘Umbrella’. It was handed to him. Ready now, he was still reading the paper. He did not put it down until he heard the shout “Bus ing!” Then he kissed my mother and went out. The girls breathed freely. How lucky a man is to have a wife and five daughters at home! 54.

I don39。t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth( 財富 ),” wise people say. You can39。t be good at your studies or work 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 Xrayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is follow his advice. Speaking about doctor39。s advice, I can39。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 shouldn39。t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor39。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, “it39。s not easy to begin smoking at my age.” 58.
