A businessman, who always tried to pay as little as possible for what he needed, fell ill one day.

　　He decided to go to a doctor and asked a friend to recommend（推薦）one.

　　“Dr Smith is an excellent one, and he has rich experience in treating various illnesses,” the friend told him. “Is he expensive?” the businessman asked. “Yes and no. He charges five hundred dollars for the first visit, but only twenty-five dollars for each visit after that.”

　　“That seems reasonable,” the businessman said, and went to visit Dr Smith. As he walked into the consulting room, he said, “Well, here I am again, doctor,” and put twenty-five dollars on the table. The doctor looked at him carefully for a moment, then smiled and put the money into his pocket. “Thank you,” he said, “and what can I do for you today?”

　　“Examine me, of course,” the businessman said, “and tell me what's wrong with me.”

　　“Oh, there's no need for me to examine you again, ”the doctor said. “Just continue taking the medicine I prescribed for you when you came to see me last time.”

(1) What kind of person was the businessman?

[　　]

A．He was a person easy to get on with.

B．He was a very rich and successful person.

C．He was a person who always tried to pay as little as possible for what he needed.

D．He was a person who enjoyed cheating others.

(2) Which of the following questions can best take the place of the question “Is he expensive?”

[　　]

A．Does he charge his patient a lot of money?

B．Does he cost a lot of money?

C．Is he a valuable person?

D．Is he able to pay all the expenses?

(3) Why did the businessman say to the doctor “Well, here I am again”?

[　　]

A．He had visited the doctor many times before.

B．It was his second visit to the doctor.

C．He had already paid 500 for his first visit.

D．He wanted the doctor to think he had visited him before.

(4) What did the doctor do for the businessman?

[　　]

A．He gave him a prescription.

B．He examined him.

C．He gave him a careful treatment.

D．He did nothing for the businessman.

答案：C;A;D;D
解析：

(1)從文章的首句可以知道這一點(diǎn)．

(2)從答語“…He charges five hundred dollars for the first visit…”中可得知．

(3)因?yàn)獒t(yī)生規(guī)定如果病人是第二次或第二次以后看病，只需付25美元．所以這個商人想讓醫(yī)生知道他以前來看病，并且只交了25美元．

(4)醫(yī)生說他必有必要再給他進(jìn)行檢查了．

　　When a person is curious about something, it means he is 1 in it and wishes to know more about it. There is 2 wrong with curiosity in itself. Whether it is good or bad depends on what people are curious about.

　　Curiosity is 3 silly or wrong. Some persons with nothing to do are full of curiosity about what their 4 are doing. They are 5 to know what they are eating or drinking, what they are 6 home or taking outside, or 7 they have come so early or late. To be interested in these things is 8 because they are 9 at all. It is none of their 10 to know what their neighbors do or are doing. Such curiosity is 11 not only 12 but also harmful. For most probably, it 13 to small talk which often brings harm, shame of disrespect to others, and thus 14 their feelings.

　　On the other hand, there is a 15 curiosity--the curiosity of wise men, who wonder at all the great things and try to 16 all they can about them. Columbus could never have found America if he had not been 17 . James Watt would not have made the steam engine 18 his curiosity about the raising of the kettle lid. All the discoveries in human history have been made 19 a result of curiosity, 20 , the curiosity is never about unimportant things which have few or nothing to do with the happiness of the public.
