Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

举一反三
For 22 years, after I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday. Nine years ago, my father, 67 years old, spent three days painting my house. He asked me to hold the paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy and I could not take the time to hold the paint brush, or talk to my father.
Five years ago, my father spent five hours making a swing（秋千）for my daughter. Again, all he asked me to do was to give him a glass of tea, and talk to him. But again, I had some clothes to wash, and the house to clean.
On January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sister’s home in Florida. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 pm. That day, my father was in hospital in Florida. I got on an airplane immediately, and on the way, I made up my mind that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him.
I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
小题1:
When the author was young, her father ______.
| A．was busy with his work | B．disliked his children |
| C．often talked to his children | D．never cared about his children |
How old was the author’s father when he made a swing for his granddaughter?
| A．45. | B．67. | C．71. | D．76. |
When painting the house, the father asked the author to hold a paint brush because ______.
| A．he wanted to make his work easy |
| B．he was too old to work all by himself |
| C．he just wanted his daughter to help him |
| D．he wanted to have a talk with his daughter |
The underlined phrase “passed away” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
| A．arrived | B．lost | C．left | D．died |
"Look down, Elsa," Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. "See, my dear," Father said gently. "There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can"t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another."
Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches w
ere as bad as I said.When I turned to Father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, "The cook must have gone mad! "Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn"t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal, Father"s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

The seeds, and the power to grow them,
are contained in the most awes
ome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsibl
e for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
小题1:People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______________ .
| A．are ready to change their minds |
| B．are easily affected by windy weather |
| C．don’t have the power to face their fate |
| D．can’t exercise control over themselves |
| A．success is the result of hard work |
| B．working hard will lead to success |
| C．their failure is only because of bad luck |
| D．they don’t make efforts to succeed |
| A．whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes |
| B．developing confidence is the key to future success |
| C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind |
| D．setting our expectations is essential before taking action |
| A．the proof of the author’s points | B．the conclusion of the argument |
| C．an introduction to another topic | D．a comparison between two views |
A．Succ ess is a choice. | B．The secrets of success. |
| C．Develop our confidence. | D．How to achieve success. |
The student 38 the professor, saying, “Let’s play the man a(n) 39 : we will hide his shoes, and we stay behind those bushes to see his 40 when he cannot find them.”

While 46 his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something 47 , he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin.
He was 48 , and looked at the coin again and again. He then looked around 49 on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and began to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was 50 on finding the other coin.
His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his 51 , looked up to heaven and preyed, He spoke of his wife, sick and 52 , and his children without bread. The timely giving, from some unknown hand, would 53 from dying.
The student was moved and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your 54 trick?”

．faith B．fact C．truth D．reliabilityWhen I smoked with my family, I would feel so 16 and good that nothing else in the world seemed so 17 . I thought that smoking weed (烟草) was okay since many of my family members and people at my school smoked. 18 ever happened to them. 19 I started smoking weed a lot more during lunch and after school. I never thought 20 of it. At that time I just wanted to smoke. Then I began to 21 in school. I would 22 classes, come home late and spend all my money. I would spend 23 8 to 18 dollars a day. I never thought 24 that marijuana (大麻) had a bad effect on those things. Maybe my coming to class high (神智恍惚) was the reason why I was failing or coming home late. As I continued to smoke marijuana, I began to notice that I would always have the strong desire to smoke and that I would get 25 cigarettes if I smoked those, but I don’t. 26 I have learned more about marijuana, I have 27 the amount of marijuana that I use. I don’t want marijuana to be the most important in my life. I’m not smoking every day, and not spending as much money. Since I have 28 on my habit, I am 29 more money. I’m ready to go back to school and do good, so that I can make myself 50 . Everyone is always saying how weed 31 your mind and how it solves problems. I think it only brings more 32 . Marijuana is not good for your body or your brain. I’m not trying to tell you not to smoke, I’m just letting you know that marijuana can be 33 to your health, and 34 it may cause some long term negative (负面的) effects. Help yourself now, before it is too late. I don’t want to lecture anyone, just 35 my experience with you.
