二、阅读理解

A young man came to a teacher and asked to teach him how to be brave, because he thought he wasn't brave enough. The teacher looked at him and said, “I will teach you. But you should do one thing. In the next month, you should live in a big city. To every passing person in the street, you look straight into their eyes and shout loudly that you're a brave man.” The man got really sad, because this task seemed very difficult to him.
At first, when meeting the passers(过路人), he lost this speech and couldn't speak any word. But he had to finish the teacher's task, so he began to try his best. When he came up to his first passerby, he was very afraid. But later, his voice sounded louder and clearer. The further he kept on doing the teacher's task, the more confident he was.
A month passed, the man came back to the teacher and said, “Thank you, teacher. I finished your task. Now I'm not afraid anymore.

People say laughter is the best medicine, but sometimes too much of a good thing may not be so good. What happened to me last night made me deeply understand the meaning of that.
Last night I was alone at home. When I was watching a funny movie, I suddenly started laughing and couldn't stop myself.
At first, I was feeling good.
But after about 5 minutes, I came to know I wasn't going to stop at all. I began to feel a little worried.
Time for bed. But I couldn't sleep because I kept laughing. So I got up and started doing some housework. I cleaned my apartment, laughing hard. I washed all the dishes left over from dinner, still laughing crazily. I tried to hold my cat in my arms, but it ran away from me in fear. I spent the rest of the night in front of my computer, of course, still laughing.
When time finally came to get ready for work, I realized that I simply couldn't go to the office like that. I decided to call my boss for leave, but laughing was the only thing I could do on the phone.
