Jack Brown was very quiet as Dr Johnson examined him. The doctor looked at the boy'sthroat, took his
temperature and listened to his heart. Finally, he asked Jack's mother a few questions.
"When did Jack begin to feel ill?" "This morning when he got up. He said he felt too sick to go to school
today. " "What did he eat for breakfast?" "He got orange juice, two pieces of bread, an egg and a glass of milk."
"I see," the doctor asked Jack, "How do you feel now, my boy?" Jack answered, "Terrible, I think I'm going to die".
The doctor said, "You won't die. In fact, you'll be fine by dinner time." "Oh, doctor! Do you really think so?" Jack's
mother looked very glad. Dr Johnson answered, "Mrs Brown, your son has a sickness that is common(普通的)to
boys at a time like this. It comes and goes quickly. "
Mrs Brown said, "But I don't understand." "Today," the doctor told her, "the most exciting football final of the
World Cup is on TV. If Jack feels well enough to watch TV this afternoon, and I think he does. He will be fine when
the final is over. It's the only cure（疔法) I know of this sickness. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go across the
street to see the Ford's boy, Steve. He seems to have the same thing as Jack has today. "
