As an English saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated (忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
1.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Laughter can make people breathe deeper
B．Laughter can make you become old quickly.
C．Laughter helps to reduce pain.
D．Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.
2.The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “_________”.
A．delays B．prevents C．increases D．reduces
3.Why do doctors hold laughter clinics?
A．Because they want to earn more money.
B．Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.
C．Because they want to improve their patients’ health.
D．Because they want their patients to laugh more.
4.According to the author, we should __________ in our life.
A．laugh as much as possible B．watch more funny films
C．smile all the time D．spend time in the laughter clinics
5.What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health.
B．Laughter clinics can help patients improve their condition.
C．Laughter can reduce the effect of pain.
D．Laughter is the best medicine.

As the saying goes， chances favored the prepared mind． I learned this from one of my experience．
I was not chosen as member of the volleyball team of our school． Because of this， I decided to give up play volleyball． Luckily， my best friend stopped me but pointed out that it was my laziness and poor preparation which led to my failure． After that， I practiced playing volleyball on every day． When another tryout arrived， I was full prepared and tried my best． As a result， I was selected and became an important player on our school team．
From this， I am firmly convincing that， no matter when chances arrive， we were able to seize them as long as we get well prepared．

As the saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." That's because this healthy food choice is supposed to be full of nutrients. The apple at the supermarket, though, might be so o1d that it has lost many of its nutrients. But soon there might be a way to check the quality of fruit by scanning it.
Scientists at Food+Future coLAB have come up with the idea of a handheld spectrometer(分光仪) that scans food. The machine will work by shining infrared(红外线的)light on a piece of produce. By measuring how chemicals in the fruit or vegetable take in the light, the scanner can recognize the food's chemical makeup.
"The machine can tell you exactly how old an apple is, how many calories it contains, what nutrients are present inside it, and even small differences in taste," Greg Shewmaker of Food+Future coLAB recently said.
For the new machine to be useful to consumers, researchers first need to create a database that contains possible chemicals for a particular type of fruit, like an apple, for example. Scientists will need to scan lots of pieces of produce to collect this data. The information collected will allow the scanners to tell customers the quality of fruit.
Once consumers know what's inside an apple, they can decide if they want to buy it. Knowing fruit quality may also affect how a store prices produce. "We can price produce based on the nutritional value," Shewmaker explained.
Food+Future coLAB has already created a working model of its machine. It says you may see one in your local supermarket within the next few years. Then deciding whether you've picked the healthiest fruit will be just a quick scan.
1.Why does the author mention the saying about apple at the beginning?
A. To prove that the apple is full of nutrients.
B. To introduce the topic of the fruit scanner.
C. To advise people to keep healthy by eating apples.
D. To state that the apple is the most tasty among fruits.
2.What do we know about the spectrometer?
A. It is powered by infrared light.
B. It is not useful in many customers' eyes.
C. It can help customers decide which fruit to buy.
D. It can improve the quality of fruit and vegetables.
3.According to Shewmaker, what's a spectrometer's influence on a store?
A. It makes a store more attractive.
B. It provides price reference for produce.
C. It enriches customers' knowledge about food nutrition.
D. It creates a database about the chemical makeup of fruit.
4.What would be the best title for this text?
A. The Fruit Scanner B. The Priced Fruit
C. How to Scan Fruits D. How to Pick Fruits

April showers bring May flowers, as the saying goes. And with those flowers comes May Day, a holiday that most people have heard of but have no idea what it’s for
May Day, celebrated on May 1 every year, has its roots in ancient pagan（异教徒的） festivals marking a new start of a new season——summer. Over the centuries, it developed and took on a more non-religious nature In Europe, including the addition of maypole dances that the holiday is now associated with. But May Day isn’t all about skipping around with ribbons in the sunshine. It has also been on the same day as International Workers' Day since the 1880s. In fact, May Day refers to America's Labor Day for certain countries.
On May 1, 1886, hundreds of thousands of U. S. industrial workers participated in a nationwide strike to demand an 8-hour workday. The protests in Chicago lasted for several days, and on May 3, a strike at McCormick Reaper Works ended in a brawl with police officers. Several strikers were wounded or killed. The next night, the violence became even worse. When police came to break up a crowd of protestors gathered in Hay-market Square, a bomb went off in the police ranks. The bomb killed seven policemen and wounded 60 more. Police then opened fire on the crowd, killing several men and wounding 200.
In memory of these events, the International Socialist Conference declared May 1 as an international holiday for labor. That’s why the world sees not only celebrations of warmer weather on the first day of May, but oftentimes marches for labor unions as well
1.What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Why people celebrate May Day.
B. How May Day came into existence
C. Activities held to celebrate May Day
D. Ways to honor May Day worldwide
2.From Paragraph 2, May Day was initially celebrated to___________
A. honor the end of April showers
B. mark the beginning of summer
C. explore its religious aspects in Europe
D. show the long history of maypole dances
3.What does the underlined word "brawl "in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Protest
B. Quarrel
C. Contradiction
D. Fight
4.It can be known from the text that _________
A. all festivals were closely related to religion
B. celebrations on May Day caused many deaths
C. 19th-century workers had a longer workday than eight hours
D. International Workers' Day has no connection with Americas Labor Day
