8、od 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 benefits go beyond an exercise. The most astonishing evidence of laughters power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-att
9、ack 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, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows.Can a good laugh help patients get well? In a landmark ex
10、periment 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 results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures.Justin Black, 13 years old
11、, 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 and pranced (欣喜地跳跃) around the hospital room. “Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,“ says Justin.
12、 “When youre laughing, you cant help but feel better.“16 What is this passage mainly about?（A）The benefits that laughter can bring to people.（B） A landmark experiment 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

17、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. But most dog lovers discover, sooner or later, that dogs are sensitive to the behavioral signs of their owners that humans rarely equal. And thats
18、 nothing. Scientists have recently discovered that dogs can distinguish, with amazing accuracy, between breath samples from people with lung cancer and from 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 bisc
19、uits 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 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. Ev
20、en trained cancer-sniffing dogs express their knowledge their distinction between samples only by sitting or not sitting. But this is what always happens. 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, i
21、f 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 comes 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
22、 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 humans 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.21
23、According to the first paragraph, we can find that clogs_.（A）are more sensitive to human behavior than man is to theirs（B） will develop some behaviors like their owners（C） know almost everything about man（D）are as emotional as their owners22 One of the surprising facts about dogs is that_.（A）they do
24、 better than humans in curing cancer patients when well trained（B） they are able to tell healthy people from unhealthy ones by smelling（C） they eat less biscuits than man to discover cancer patients（D）they can smell whether their owners are happy or not23 The passage tells us that people tend to for
25、get the extraordinary power of the dogs because_.（A）people feel so close to dogs（B） people used to humanize them（C） dogs are not trained enough（D）dogs can not give us a check-up24 “This news will give pause to almost anyone.“ (Para. 2) probably means “This news will_.“（A）stop anyone from thinking ab
26、out something（B） provide anyone with a chance to do something（C） make anyone think carefully about something（D）give anyone reasons for doing something else25 What can we infer from this passage?（A）A dog may find its owners disease even before doctors.（B） Walking a dog every day will make it more sen
27、sitive.（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 late.25 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 th
28、at shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low-fat cheese than beer 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
29、wine, which has components that may help prevent cancer and cardiovascular (心 血管的) disease. Still, it is possible that whatever 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
30、on peoples diets in general and alcohol use in particular. Those being surveyed often understate their alcohol use and overstate 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 wha
31、t kinds of food the shoppers bought. One auther, Dr. Morten Gronbaek, said the researchers had expected to find differences 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
32、with food, and in smaller amounts, they noted, possibly affecting how the body metabolizes (使新陈代谢) it. And wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially than beer drinkers, factors that would also help account for their better health.26 What makes a wine drinker healthier than
33、beer drinker is mainly due to_.（A）the food they eat that goes with wine（B） the amount they drink every time（C） the less alcohol contained in wine（D）the low fat contained in wine27 Researchers failed to get an accurate reading on peoples diets in general because_.（A）people tend to overstate the consu
