【解析】

文章讲述的是一位男子去医院看病，医生检查了他的身体没有问题，最后男子说除了自己心里的问题，医生给了这个男子建议，男子依照做了，心里的“刺”拔出来了，他也痊愈了。

【1】他he，人称代词主格，在句中做主语；头疼have a headache；晚上night；睡觉fall asleep；不能can’t；整理之后可以知道，这里两句之间表示顺承关系，所以应该用and引导并列句，再结合文章内容可知，这里表达的是过去的事情，所以应该用过去时，动词都要用过去式，故答案为He had a headache, and he couldn’t fall asleep at night.

【2】句意：如果你不告诉我是什么困扰你，我就无法帮助你。

If如果，条件状语从句的连词；you你，人称代词主格，在句中做主语；don’t tell不告诉，一般现在时的否定结构；me我，人称代词宾格，在句中做宾语；what’s worrying you你在担心什么；I我，人称代词主格；can’t不能，情态动词；help you帮助你i；整理之后可以知道，这里是if引导的条件状语从句，在句中还用到了“主情从现”的用法，表示“如果你不告诉我你在担心什么，我就不能帮助你”，故答案为：如果你不告诉我是什么困扰你，我就无法帮助你。

【3】根据文中Then Doctor Ralston asked the man to write to his friend and give back the money. 然后拉尔斯顿医生让这个人写信给他的朋友并把钱还给他。可知医生建议他写信给朋友并把钱还回去，故答案为He advised the man to write to his friend and give back the money.

【4】根据文中When the man put the letter into the post box, he suddenly cried, “Thank you. I think I get well.” 当那人把信放进邮筒时，他突然喊道：“谢谢。我想我会好起来的。”可知医生帮到了这个人，故答案为Yes, he did.

【5】根据文中The man spoke out his mistake and he corrected it. He picked the thorn out of his heart, he cured(治愈）himself. 那人说出了他的错误并改正了。他从心里拔出了刺，自己治好了病。可知这里说的thorn是指这个人的犯的错误，故答案为The “thorn” was his mistake.
