to is and until clean again rest water dirty drinking

Once upon a time, a father and his son were walking from one town     1     another. While they were traveling, they happened to pass by a river. They were tired and stopped there to     2    . Then the father asked his son to get him some     3     from the river.

Then the son walked to the riverside     4     he saw some women washing clothes there. Right at that moment, a bullock cart (牛车) started crossing the river. As a result, the water became very     5    . “I mustn’t take the dirty water to my father,” he thought. So he came back and said, “Look, Father. A bullock cart     6    crossing the river now, so the water is dirty and it can’t be drunk.” Father said nothing.

After a while, the son was asked to get some water     7     by his father. The water was still dirty, but he didn’t go back. He thought, “My father is so thirsty. I must take back     8     water this time, even though it will take me a long time.” Then he sat there, waiting     9     the water was clean. He collected some in a bowl and took it back.

8 . We still don’t understand the influence of the mind’s power over the body, nor do we understand why there should be such power. All we can say for certain is that the mind does have power over the body in very many different ways.

If a man is told that he is at the North Pole and he believes what he is told, he’ll show physical signs which suggest that his body is reacting as though he were at the North Pole. He’ll go pale and shiver. When the film Lawrence of Arabia was shown, cinema managers around the world reported that the sales of ice cream rocketed. The endless desert scenes had made the moviegoers feel uncomfortably hot.

Hypnotists use the power of the mind over the body in order to use their influence. The hypnotist must only convince the patient that something is true, and the patient will act accordingly. If he convinces the patient that his arms are as heavy as lead, then the patient will be unable to lift his arms. If he convinces the patient that a piece of ice is a hot iron and he then touches the patient’s skin with the ice, a blister(水泡)will develop. The body will react to the suggestion and not to the reality, and signs of a real burn will appear.

A．an ice cream

B．a cold shower
