(C) Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups (打嗝). Hiccups are so mysterious. We really don’t know why they start and why they stop. Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it. An American man named Jack O’Leary claimed to have hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60,000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed to Saint Jude, the saint of hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately. It took a British plumber (管子工) eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone. Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure. 61. What might be the best cure for hiccups? A. Special pills. B. Cold water. C. Whatever you think will work. D. A spoonful of salt. 62. This story is mainly about _______. A. how to get hiccups B. what makes hiccups happen C. Jack O’Leary’s hiccups D. different ways to stop hiccups 63 How long did it take the plumber to stop his hiccups? A. 8 years B. 2 days C. 8 months D. 4 hours 64.

Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. It is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of air pollution. One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That’s what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow. Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that can please man. To prevent the world being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not benefit the society— many workers may find themselves out of jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment. Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem. 66_________ And Pollution in America Problem Method 71 ___________ Conclusion 67___ Building a new kind of clean car Progress in this field is 72_______________ .
