After the first week, Harry's parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack.Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.“When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didn't do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either.”After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldn't find anything wrong.“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.”Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne, who hiccuped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.（）8.Harry's hiccups lasted ____.A. a weekB. fourteen daysC. twenty-eight daysD. one month（）9.His parents decided to take him to hospital when he ____.A. hiccuped for four secondsB. held his breathC. hiccuped at nightD. couldn't stop hiccupping（）10.His hiccups completely stopped one week after the doctor ____.A. gave him some medicineB. took an X-ray of his chestC.gave him a shockD. let him drink cold drinks（）11.What does “shock” in this passage mean？A.震惊B. 休克C. 喷嚏D. 哈欠DMy hobby is collecting stamps. When I was only a baby, my mother began to collect for me. Of course, she didn’t let me touch the stamps. I remember that it was on my fifteenth birthday that she first put them into my hands. They were in four fat books, but since that time I have added three more.How do I get my stamps? I have never bought a single one from a shop. My father sometimes brings me some stamps from many countries of the world. Also I exchange some with my friends.In the evenings, what can be better than sitting down at a table with my nice books, putting new stamps in them, or, if I am too tired, only looking through the stamps in the books? Each stamp can tell me a different story. I can see pictures of persons and animals, Kings and presidents pass before my eyes.But my stamp collection doesn’t make me think only of the past. Just as my mother did, I am collecting for my future child. What better way will there be of interesting him in history, geography and languages and of making these subjects live for him instead of being only things in school books? If I pass my hobby on to him, he’ll bless me for it, as I have blessedmy mother for her wise action.( )12. The writer has ________ books of stamps.A. fourB. threeC. sevenD. fifteen( )13. The writer can’t get the stamps from ________.A. the shopB. his motherC. his fatherD. his friends( )14. When the writer is tired, he can ________.A. sit down at a table to restB. enjoy the stampsC. read booksD. see pictures of persons and animals( )15.
