第三部分阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2分,满分20分)

How many times have you laughed today? Have you ever wondered what makes you laugh? In the whole animal kingdom, only we humans are capable (有能力的) of laughter. On average, we laugh about 17 times a day.

Laughter is a spontaneous reaction of the body to some-thing funny or pleasant. Have you noticed that when you laugh, many parts of your body respond (反应)? Your face changes expression, your breathing changes, and muscles throughout your body are affected.

An interesting story dates back to 1962. In a school in Tanganyika, in Africa, a group of schoolgirls started laughing uncontrollably over a joke. This laughter became epidemic (传染的), jumping from one person to the next, spreading across communities, and lasting for six months! So strong was the "laughter epidemic" that schools had to shut down till it ended.

How we laugh remains a mystery. Whatever the reasons, laughter, as the saying goes, "is the best medicine." In fact, science has proven that being happy and laughing can not only keep us healthy and fit but help deal with serious illnesses.

Laughing exercises all the important muscles, and keeps you fit. People have started forming laughter clubs that use laughter to treat illnesses. They meet at specific places at fixed times and laugh together. Laughter spreads, so this exercise works best in groups; once one person starts laughing, others automatically (自动地) join in.

56. The underlined word "spontaneous" in the second paragraph probably means "______".

A. perfect            B. strange            C. natural         D. terrible

57. People have formed laughter clubs to ______.

A. kill time          B. relax         C. meet others        D. keep healthy

58. The best title for the passage would be ______.

A. A Laughter Epidemic

B. Laughter, What It Is, and What It Can Do

C. The Relationship Between Laughter and Health

D. How Laughter Helps Cure Disease

59. The passage is probably taken from a(n) ______.

A. ad         B. novel            C. magazine           D. medical book

How many times have you gotten upset because someone wasn’t doing their job, because your child isn’t behaving？How many times have you been annoyed when you’ve planned something carefully and things didn’t go as you’d hoped?

This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us — it’s part of the human experience.

One thing that annoys me is when people talk during a movie. Or cut me off in traffic. Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances — don’t we all? And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or annoyed.

Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken.

See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things don’t go the way we like, the way we expect them to. Think of how many times this has been true for you. And so the solution is simple: expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned, expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.

One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong — they always do on a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”

And this worked like a charm. When we took the wrong train on a foreign-language subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children’s Castle closed on Mondays … they said, “It’s part of the adventure!” And it was all OK — we didn’t get too bothered.

So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks, someday, you might get upset. But not if you see the glass as already broken, from the day you get it. You know it’ll break someday, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a time-traveler, or someone with time-traveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won’t be upset or sad — because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.

1.The author would probably agree that________.

2.The purpose of the author is to ___________.

3.By the underlined part, the author intends us to _____________.

4.The author’s children could enjoy their trip to Japan because _____________.

5.We can learn from the passage that the author ____________.

How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?

Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.

In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.

According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.

So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?

Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.

In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.

In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.

“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.

1.You may find this text in a magazine about ____.

A. technology　　　　　　　　 B. education

C. entertainment　　　　　　 D. social life

2.Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan?

A. People who are living with their parents.

B. Those who lack social recognition.

C. People who are the focus of attention.

D. Those who want to blanket what they’ve done.

3.We know from the last paragraph that ____.

A. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time

B. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions

C. focusing on one’s self-esteem is quite natural

D. self-teem has a bad effect on one’s goals

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to “thumbs up”?

A. worried.　　　　　　　　 B. objective.

C. critical.　　　　　　　　 D. supportive.

I can’t count how many times people have complained, while shaking their heads in obvious disappointment,“just don’t know what is with teenagers today.”

The other day I was in my car on my way to the farmers market when I passed two teens standing by the side of the road with a car washing sign. My car was filthy and my heart was full, so I pulled over. There was a group directing the cars and another group spraying them down. As sponges(海绵) were wiped over every square inch of my dirty car, I sat enjoying the little water bottles. I was amazed at why forty to fifty teenagers had devoted their Saturday to washing cars.

After I handed them a twenty-dollar bill I asked what they were raising money for. They explained to me that a friend of theirs, C.T.Schmitz, had recently died of cancer. He was only fifteen years old. He had gone to school with a lot of the teenagers who were there that day and each of them had memories of a boy sweeter than any they had known. His friend Kevin had decided to put this car wash together because he wanted to honor his friend and also bring together his classmates with his boy scout troop(童子军). He told me that they wanted to plant a tree in front of their school and if they raised enough money they would put a plaque(纪念匾) there also. Both would be in memory of their friend C.T.

They handed me a bag of homemade cookies with my receipt(收据) saying“Thanks for helping us plant a tree of C.T.”

Yeah! I don’t know what is with teenagers today!

1.From the passage we can know that the boys were raising money to ______.

A．buy a plaque for their school .

2.From the passage, we can infer that C.T.Schmitz was _____.

A. kind-hearted but lonely          B. brave and popular with his classmates

3.What does the underlined word  “ filthy”mean?

A．new             B．dirty             C．good-looking       D．ordinary

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Teenagers Today                        B．A Special Day

C．My view on Teenagers                    D．An Exciting Experience

How many times a day do you check your email? When you wake up? Before bed? A dozen times in between? The technology that was supposed to make our lives simple has taken up too much time. The average young man spends more than seven hours a day using technological devices(设备), with an additional hour just text-messaging friends.

The advantage of technological devices is connectedness: email lets us respond on the go, and we are in touch with more people during more hours of the day than at any other time in history. But is it possible that we’re lonelier than ever, too? That’s what MIT professor Sherry Turkle observes in her new book, Alone Together, which clearly describes our changing relationship with technology.

For Turkle, the biggest worry is the effect the weak connections have on our development. Technology isn’t offering us the lives we want to live. “We’re texting people at a distance,” says Turkle, “We’re using lifeless objects to convince ourselves that even when we’re alone, we feel together. And then when we’re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we are alone—always on our mobile devices. It’s what I call a perfect storm of confusion about what’s important in our human connections.”

Moreover, communicating online is not equal to face-to-face communication. Online, you can ignore others’ feelings. In a text message, you can avoid eye contact. A number of studies have found that this generation of young people is less sympathetic(有同情心的)than ever. “That doesn’t lead to disaster,” says Turkle, “but the disadvantages still cannot be ignored.”

1.From the first paragraph we can learn that_________.

A. email checking helps people wake up early

B. people communicate mainly by text-messaging now

C. technological device production has been simplified

D. using technological devices costs young men much time

2.What is Sherry Turkle’s biggest worry?

A. Technology may make human connections confusing

B. Technology can’t help people remove loneliness

C. Technology may make people’s lives hard

D. Technology keeps people together

3.What is the author’s attitude to the influence of technology on people’s life?

A. Positive　　 B. Negative

C. Hopeless　　 D. Uncertain

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Technology brings many conveniences to people’s lives

B. Young men spend too much time on technological devices

C. Technology also brings people some disadvantages

D. Sherry Turkle observes people’s changing relationship with technology
