All over the world，children in hospital are being treated with a new kind of medicine：Laughter. Lucy is 23 and works for Theodora Children’s Trust. She is one of many clown (小丑) doctors who bring a smile to the faces of sick children.

“I’m a Theodora clown doctor. I call myself Dr Looloo. I spend two days a week in children’s hospitals，making funny faces，telling jokes，and doing magic tricks. As I walk into the wards(病房) I blow bubbles，shake hands with the kids，and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing. I take special balloons to make ‘balloon animals’ and tell funny stories about them.

Being a clown in hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally. We have to learn not to show our feelings，otherwise we’d be useless. Clown doctors are sensitive but this is not a side most people see. To the children we’re happy all the time. I’m still learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally. There working with a very sick little girl from Bosnia who speaks no English，so our only common language is laughter.

At weekends I participate in events to raise money for Theodora Children’s Trust. It’s a charity, so we are paid with the money people give. Being a clown doctor makes the worries of everyday life seem small. All in all I feel honoured to do this job.”

About 1.5 billion people speak English around the world. But for more than 1.1 billion of them, English is their second language－often with a noticeable accent (口音).

“Someone’s accent really reveals a lot about who they are and their identity. It will tell people what their native language is and probably where they come from.” says Marc Pell, a communication professor at McGill University in Montreal. And according to Pell, one reaction to it can be a bias (偏见) against that person.

Previous research that has been done elsewhere showed that people who have an accent tend to be trusted less, simply because they have an accent. But accents aren’t the only thing we listen for when we have to decide if we trust another person. Tone of voice also plays a role. Pell and his team wanted to know if people would trust a confident tone, even if it came from someone with an accent.

The researchers had Canadian English speakers listen to different versions of people saying neutral (无明显特性的) statements like “she has access to the building” while they were getting a brain scan in an MRI (磁共振成像) machine. Subjects heard someone say it with a confident tone with a Canadian English accent, an Australian accent or a French accent. Participants also heard the sentence with the three accents spoken in a doubtful or neutral tone.

The MRI scans showed that the participants had to use more brain power to decide if they could trust the statements said with the non-native accents. When the study participants heard the Australian or French accents, blood flow increased to the part of the brain that we use to process sound. They seemed to have to analyze that perhaps more carefully, or for a longer period of time to make this decision about whether they truly believed the speaker, especially when the speaker sounded doubtful. When asked, the participants reported not trusting either Australian or French accents－except when the statements were said confidently. It seems that confidence speaks for itself.

1.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.A person’s identity. B.A person’s accent.

C.A person’s hometown. D.A person’s native language.

2.What did Pell’s team want to know?

A.Why some people trust others less.

B.Which parts of the brain deal with sound.

C.What can cause a bias against non-natives.

D.Whether a non-native’s confident tone can gain trust.

3.For the study participants, which of the following might demand the most brain power?

A.A Canadian speaking English in a friendly way.

B.A French person speaking English neutrally.

C.An American speaking English confidently.

D.An Australian speaking English doubtfully.

One of the most important things in being a good neighbor is to respect尊敬 a person’s privacy(隐私).When someone new moves into the neighborhood it is a good idea to watch them to see how friendly you should be. If you go rushing over as soon as they move in they may think you are going to be one of those neighbors that come over at all times of the day，not respecting their privacy.

It is a good idea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighborhood. This can not only put you on good terms with them，but will also be a form of protection for your family and home.

If you are friendly to them they are much more likely可能的 to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.

Another way of being a good neighbor is to be helpful in times of need. If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of a disaster(灾难)，it is good to offer your help. Even though you have never really talked to the people down the street，they are willing愿意的 to take the time to help out a neighbor in need.
