Do you want to live a happier, less stressful (有压力的) life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands 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.

(1)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’s naturally good at laughing — it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.

（2）Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) 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.（3） 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 stupid. 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 fake laughter and real 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!

1.将①处改为主动语态。

_______________________________________________________________________________

2.将（2）译成汉语。

_______________________________________________________________________________

3.写出③处的反意疑问句句。

Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.__________?

1.Dr. Madan Kataria started the first Laughter Club in Mumbai, India, in 1995.

2.很多医生也对笑声对健康的影响产生兴趣。

3.doesn’t it

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了当人们压力大的时候，可以用笑来缓解压力，短文以实际的例子来印证这个观点，作者亲自尝试感觉效果很好。

1.】原句为一般过去时因此改为主动语态时时态不能改变，was started改为started， Dr. Madan Kataria改为做主语，其他不变。

2.】be interested in对……感兴趣；故译为：很多医生也对笑声对健康的影响产生兴趣。

3.】由improves可知前句为一般现在时的肯定形式，故后面用否定形式doesn’t it。

考点：任务型阅读。

In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 11th century.

A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.

Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. ①If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. ②Every day, people all over the world throw away about 2800 tons (吨) of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means we are cutting down 48000 trees every day.

Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs (手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

Everyone can help save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.

1. 将①处翻译成汉语。

2.根据②处完成下面的句子。（每空一词）

Every day, about 2800 tons of paper _________ ________ away by people all over the world.

3. 根据短文内容完成下面的句子。（每空一词）

Paper is made from trees, so we should try our best to _________ paper so that we can help ________ the trees.
