When the man couldnt pay his bill, the doctor gave him another six months. Go ahead, laugh. Its strong medicine, researchers are
8、 learning. Even the physical act is good for you, says William Fry, pioneer in laughter research. It increases blood flow and contracts abdominal (腹部 的) muscles. A hundred loud and deep laughs is equivalent to a very active exercise of ten minutes on a rowing machine, according to Frv. But the benef
9、its go beyond an exercise. The most astonishing evidence of laughters power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half of them watched funny shows for 30 minutes even-day: the rest served as controls. After a year, ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks, c
10、ompared with only two in the group that watched the shows. Can a good laugh help patients get well? In a landmark experiment at the University of California at Los Angeles, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early
11、results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures. Justin Black, 13 years old, already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from surgery until Bill Marx, a volunteer (志愿者) for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside. Marx told jokes, made faces
12、 and pranced (欣喜地跳跃) around the hospital room. “Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,“ says Justin. “When youre laughing, you cant help but feel better.“（分数：10.00）(1).What is this passage mainly about?（分数：2.00）A.The benefits that laughter can bring to people.B.A landmark experiment
13、 that is called Rx Laughter.C.How Justin Black felt when a volunteer appeared in the hospital room.D.Why Bill Marx became a member of the experiment team to test the effect of laughter.(2).From the passage we learn that in 1997 the study of 48 heart-attack patients_.（分数：2.00）A.found most of the pati
14、ents had suffered repeat heart attacksB.took the scientists about two years to draw their conclusionC.produced newly found evidence about heart attacksD.made surprising findings about laughters power(3).Why did the scientists at the University of California make the experiment?（分数：2.00）A.To help chi
15、ldren in hospital recover from their illness.B.To look for the evidence of laughters power in women patients.C.To test the effect of laughter on children who were seriously ill.D.To see whether laughter could replace some active exercises.(4).The early results of the landmark experiment, called Rx L
16、aughter, show that the humorous videos_.（分数：2.00）A.replace medication that children takeB.really help children handle their painsC.do no good to childrens uncomfortable proceduresD.have some side effect on childrens painful procedures(5).From what Justin said at the end of the passage we learn that
17、he_.（分数：2.00）A.enjoyed the time with the scientistsB.soon recovered from his illnessC.often made fun of MarxD.almost forgot his painHow well do you know your dog? The answer is, not nearly as well as your dog knows you. Given the right motivation, humans can certainly be perceptive (有洞察力的) enough. B
18、ut most dog lovers discover, sooner or later, that dogs are sensitive to the behavioral signs of their owners that humans rarely equal. And thats nothing. Scientists have recently discovered that dogs can distinguish, with amazing accuracy, between breath samples from people with lung cancer and fro
19、m people without. The dogs have to be trained to do it, of course. But the fact that they can do it at all is remarkable. There arent enough biscuits in the world to teach a human to smell at such an extraordinary level of subtlety (细微之处). This news will give pause to almost anyone who lives with a
20、dog. Just what a dog “knows“ is hard to say, because the human idea of “knowing“ is so closely related to the ability to express what you know. Even trained cancer-sniffing dogs express their knowledge their distinction between samples only by sitting or not sitting. But this is what always happens.
21、 We tend to forget the extraordinary powers of the animals we live with simply because we live with them. We tend to humanize them, which means, if nothing else, that we tend to reduce them in terms of their sensory powers to our muddling (糊涂 ) level. We can barely take in the fact that when a dog c
22、omes up and sniffs us, it is really giving us a check-up. Not that this will change the dynamic of our relations with mans best friend. For a while remembering the cancer-sniffing dogs some of us will wonder when we see our pets cock their heads, “What are you looking at?“ But time will pass, and hu
23、mans will be humans, and we will forget that the beast we are walking with may already know things about us that we will discover only too late.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, we can find that clogs_.（分数：2.00）A.are more sensitive to human behavior than man is to theirsB.will develop
24、some behaviors like their ownersC.know almost everything about manD.are as emotional as their owners(2).One of the surprising facts about dogs is that_.（分数：2.00）A.they do better than humans in curing cancer patients when well trainedB.they are able to tell healthy people from unhealthy ones by smell
25、ingC.they eat less biscuits than man to discover cancer patientsD.they can smell whether their owners are happy or not(3).The passage tells us that people tend to forget the extraordinary power of the dogs because_.（分数：2.00）A.people feel so close to dogsB.people used to humanize themC.dogs are not t
26、rained enoughD.dogs can not give us a check-up(4).“This news will give pause to almost anyone.“ (Para. 2) probably means “This news will_.“（分数：2.00）A.stop anyone from thinking about somethingB.provide anyone with a chance to do somethingC.make anyone think carefully about somethingD.give anyone reas
27、ons for doing something else(5).What can we infer from this passage?（分数：2.00）A.A dog may find its owners disease even before doctors.B.Walking a dog every day will make it more sensitive.C.Humans may turn to a dog for a discovery about the earth.D.Humans should find more of a dog before it is too la
28、te.Are wine drinkers healthier than beer drinkers? If that is the case, it may have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it. A new study found that shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low-fat cheese than be
29、er buyers, who were more in favour of things like chips. Studies have linked a moderate amount of alcohol use with better health, and this is especially true when it comes to wine, which has components that may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular (心 血管的) disease. Still, it is possible that whatev
30、er health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better diets, some studies have suggested. The problem for researchers has been getting an accurate reading on peoples diets in general and alcohol use in particular. Those being surveyed often understate their alcohol use and overs
31、tate their consumption of healthy foods. So for this study, the researchers tracked the sale of wine and beer over a six-month period at 98 supermarkets, and then looked at what kinds of food the shoppers bought. One auther, Dr. Morten Gronbaek, said the researchers had expected to find differences
32、in buying patterns, but not to the extent that they did. There are other reasons wine drinkers may be healthier than beer drinkers, the researchers said. Wine tends to be drunk with food, and in smaller amounts, they noted, possibly affecting how the body metabolizes (使新陈代谢) it. And wine drinkers te
33、nd to be better educated and better off financially than beer drinkers, factors that would also help account for their better health.（分数：10.00）(1).What makes a wine drinker healthier than beer drinker is mainly due to_.（分数：2.00）A.the food they eat that goes with wineB.the amount they drink every tim
