    Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
    The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “ Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr.Kataria. “Everyone is naturally good at laughing---it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1300 in the world.
    Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
    So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking silly. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho ha, ha, ha” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
    Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results.

    There is a famous English saying "You are what you eat", and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you. Many experts（专家） use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit. For example, too much sweet food makes a person overweight. To avoid being fat, kids are told to keep off sweet food. However, a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food.
    "When we say some people 'sweet', we mean they are kind and friendly to us. Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people's feelings and acts." said Brian Meier, a scientist from the study team. "Taste is something we experience every day. What we have done is to find whether we can know someone's character and behavior depending on their taste."
    In one of their experiments, college students were asked questions about their character- whether, for example, they were soft-hearted or not. Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food. According to their answers, the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer.
    In their another experiment, the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need, and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren't. For example, people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city, visit sick children in the hospital and so on.
    The result of the experiments is that people's helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food. So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful. Next time, try some ice-cream.
    小题1:The underlined word "it" in the sentence "Many experts use it to tell people it's important to have a good eating habit." refers to______.
    A．the sweet foodB．the English saying
    C．the American teamD．the eating habit
    小题2:According to the result of the experiments, sweet food makes people______.
    A．overweightB．excitedC．relaxedD．friendly
    小题3:The scientists found that the people who preferred______ were less helpful.
    A．chipsB．chocolateC．ice-creamD．cookies
    小题4:It can be learnt from the passage that______.
    A．scientists asked college students questions about their future
    B．scientists told college students not to eat sweet food
    C．people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others
    D．people's character has nothing to do with their taste

    Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friend.
    What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(援救)dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
    How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
    Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
    The “rat project” is not finished, but a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
    小题1:In the writer’s opinion, rats may become man’s new friend because         .
    A．they can be food for people
    B．they can help rescuers to find living people
    C．they are lovely
    D．they can completely replace man’s rescue jobs
    小题2:What does the underlined word “this” mean?
    A．An earthquake.
    B．The rat has smelled a person
    C．The rat has smelled that someone is alive
    D．The rat has found a robot.
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．Rats don’t need electricity.
    B．Rats are better than robots when smelling.
    C．Rats are as clever as radios.
    D．Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.
    小题4:Why does the “rat project” sound great according to the passage?
    A．Because rats can get into very small spaces.
    B．Because rats have better noses than dogs.
    C．Because rats don’t like robots.
    D．Because rats are brave.
    小题5:Which is the best title of this passage?
    A．Ways of saving peopleB．Rats and robotsC．After earthquakeD．Rats for rescue

    The largest animal ever to live on Earth is the blue whale（鲸鱼）. It weighs(重) about 80 tons-more than 24 big elephants. It is more than 30 metres long. A new baby whale weighs as much as a big elephant. Cats won't die if they fall off very high places because they can turn themselves up the right way so as to keep their bodies safe. One cat fell off 32 floors onto the street, but it was just hurt a little. A bear can run as fast as a horse.  A new-born panda is smaller than a mouse and weighs about 100 grams.  Elephants are the most careful animals in their love. A male（雄性） elephant may show his lady love for up to three years until the female(雌性) elephant takes his love. They often show their love by touching each other's body. Usually, wolves do not hurt people. For years a Canadian newspaper says that they would give anyone a lot of money if he or she could show that a wolf could hurt a person. But nobody could do that. Wolves do not usually go together though（尽管） they may do this in winter and they only hurt people at an unusual time.
    小题1:How much does a new-born blue whale weigh?
    A．About 10 tonsB．As much as a baby elephant
    C．About 80 tonsD．About 3 tons
    小题2:A bear can run_______people think they can.
    A．faster thanB．slower thanC．as fast asD．as slowly as
    小题3:How many kinds of animals are mentioned(提到) in this passage?

    Do you remember the name of your kindergarten(幼儿园) teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs White.
    I don’t remember much about     we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we    write a lot.

It worried my mother, so one day she went to    Mrs White and asked her why she     corrected my mistakes.
    And my mother says Mrs White said “The children are just     to get excited about using words, about forming sentences.

And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember.
    I     now and think Mrs White must have been a rather    teacher. She encouraged joy, wonder and excitement — even if our expression of it was     . Because she believed a bud(花蕾)once nipped(掐断) never opens.
    I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. Never could quite remember that the e went    the a. It annoyed my teacher in high school very much. If I was going to use the word so often, she considered the    I could do was spell it right. Finally the e’s and a’s were in their right places. Am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is    to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
    And    Mrs White I had no worries about writing what I meant. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s Baeutiful.

    Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
    Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better the environment will be. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
    Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
    小题1:Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?
    A．Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.
    B．Hope their guests use less disposable things.
    C．Wish their guests to save money.
    D．Want their guests to use more disposable things.
    小题2:Some Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with _______.
    A．cheap food and drinkB．disposable things
    C．good serviceD．free TV programmes
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．Many disposable things are made of plastic.
    B．Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.
    C．Plastic is very bad for the environment.
    D．Plastic breaks down easily.
    小题4:What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?
    A．Use shopping bags made of plastic.
    B．Do not throw away paper cups.
    C．Use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks.

    小题5:We can tell from the story that _________.
    A．people don't like disposable things at all
    B．we can't use paper or plastic bowls at school
    C．we should use less plastic things and protect our environment
