Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups (打嗝). Hiccups are so mysterious. We really don’t know why they start and why they stop.
Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it.
An American man named Jack O’Leary claimed to have hiccupped 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60,000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed to Saint Jude, the saint of hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately.
It took a British plumber (管子工) eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.
Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.
81. What might be the best cure for hiccups?

C. Whatever you think will work. D. A spoonful of salt.

Ladji Doucoure of France beat Olympic champion Liu Xiang of China in the final meters to claim the title of the men's 110 meters hurdles (跨栏) at the 10th world championships (锦标赛) in Helsinki on Friday.
Doucoure, who led the world this season with 12.97 seconds, overtook the Chinese to win the race in 13.07 seconds. Liu was second in 13.08. Four-time world champion (冠军) Allen Johnson of the United States took the third in 13.10.
The 22-year-old Doucoure said after the race, “I can not tell you just how long I have been dreaming of this. This victory (胜利) is the result of a lot of hard work, and also a lot of support from people who had believed in me. I had a bad start, touched a few hurdles, but after the 4th hurdle I picked up my race and went straight to the finish line.”
Liu, who won the Olympic gold with a world record-tying time of 12.91 seconds, said: “I'm very satisfied with the second place. The result could have been worse. I felt quite well and did my best. I'm not tired, I had some clearance problems at the start, so I should practice that some more.
Finally, I didn't lose by much, only by a little bit, but I did think I could win it.”
Liu's coach Sun Haiping said on Friday he was content with Liu's performance. “Liu Xiang was quite good during his reaction (反应) period, but he was a little bit slow in the middle and he finally caught up during the last two hurdles,” Sun told Xinhua.
Although satisfied with the silver medal and the clocking of 13.08 seconds, Sun said Liu might have added the world title to the Olympic championship if Liu had run the track neighboring his major rivals (对手) of Doucoure Ladji or Allen Johnson.
“If he had run next to Ladji Doucoure or Allen Johnson, Liu could have kept pace with them and then sprinted (疾跑) at the last stage. In this case, he could grab the gold,” said Sun, who has become a household name for coaching China's first men's Olympic champion in the track.

A. in a story book B. in a text book
C. in a newspaper D. in a fashion magazine

A. He won the gold medal in the men’s
B. He led the world in men’s
C. He did a lot of hard practice before the race in
D. He won the world champion title four times.
88. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined phrase “picked up my race” in Paragraph3?
A. gathered speed B. stood up
C. made up my mind D. became better in health
89. According to Sun Haiping, Liu Xiang might have won the gold if ________.
A. he had done better during his reaction period
B. he had run the track next to Ladji Doucoure or Allen Johnson
C. he had practiced clearance more before that race
D. he hadn’t touched a few hurdles in the race
