2026年初中英语话题复习暑假作业八年级人教版第15页答案
B. 根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
We usually go to see a doctor when we are ill. Doctors may give us some medicine, and the medicine often makes us feel better.
But sometimes the medicine doesn't work. This happened to one man, Thomas Smith. He was ill in hospital, but he wasn't getting better. He felt sad and worried every day. Then he found a new "doctor" inside himself. He saw funny films. He read funny books. He even watched some comedy (喜剧) shows on TV. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain after half a year. His own happy feeling helped him get well. He wrote his story in his book and said laughing was very useful. It was the best "medicine".
Another man, Simon Beck, was also ill. He had a serious pain in his back. The doctor couldn't stop it, so Simon began to "picture" his pain. In his head, he "drew" a picture of a dog. And it was hurting him. Then he talked softly to the dog. He put his hand on the dog's head and made friends with it. He told the dog that he was not afraid of it anymore. One year later, his pain went away!
These stories teach us an important lesson: our mind has a powerful effect on our body. Scientific studies also show that staying positive can help us become healthier. When we are hopeful, our bodies feel stronger. So, stay hopeful, laugh more, and take an active part in your own health. Keep happy and well!
