When Charlie got up last Sunday morning, he looked out of the window, and saw that the ground was covered with snow. On the side of the house, the snow was higher than Charlie. "We must have a path through this snow, "said his father. "I would make one if I had time. But I must be at the office early this morning. Do you think you could make the path, my son?" he asked little Charlie. "I? Why? The snow is higher than me! How could I ever cut a path through that snow?" "How? You can do it little by little. I hope you will try," said the father. Then his father left for his office.

Later, Charlie set to work. He threw up first one shovelful(一铲), and then another; but it was slow work. "I don’t think I can do it, mother, "he said. "A shovelful is so little, and there is so much snow." "Little by little, Charlie," said his mother. "That snow fell flake(雪花) by flake, but you see how much it has made." "Yes, mother, I see," said Charlie. "If I throw it away little by little, it will soon be gone." So he worked on.When his father came home for dinner, he was pleased to see the fine path. The next day was Charlie’s birthday, the father gave little Charlie a pen, with yellow letters "Little by Little" on it.

For many people the subject of hiccups (嗝) is a joke, but for Harry Mendes, a fifteen-year-old schoolboy from Birmingham, it was something quite different.

His hiccups began one Sunday lunch time and continued day and night for two weeks. 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 hiccupped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.

1.Harry's hiccups lasted ____.

A. a week B. fourteen days

C. twenty-eight days D. one month

2.His hiccups started after he ____.

A. drank a glass of water B. went to hospital

C. ate an Indian meal D. finished his homework

3.His parents decided to take him to hospital when he ____.

A. hiccupped for four seconds B. held his breath

C. hiccupped at night D. couldn't stop hiccupping

4.His hiccups completely stopped one week after the doctor ____.

A. gave him some medicine B. took an X-ray of his chest

C. gave him a shock D. let him drink cold drinks

5.What does “shock” in this passage mean?

A.震惊 B. 休克 C. 喷嚏 D. 哈欠
