Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around theworld — and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.The first Laughter Club wasstarted in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laughabout 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.Many doctors are also interestedin the effects (效果) of laughter on ourhealth. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improvesour health against illness by about 40%.So, what happens at a LaughterClub? 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 betweenfake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthyeffects.Surprisingly, it works! After tenminutes 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 verypleased with the results!4. In whichcountry was the first Laughter Club started?A.Britain. B.America. C.Australia. D. India.5.

Laughing is thebest way to prevent illness.CEach year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr.Day. Ben knows that this day honors an important man, but Ben does not feelconnected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King. Ben’s mom (0)has a close friend, Amy (1). Amy’s uncle, Mark (2), once met and spoke to JohnCarter (3), the son of President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King(5). In a way, Ben is only “five people away” from Martin Luther King Jr.The small-world theory says that everyonein the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of thischain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a personfrom someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separationbetween a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that thereare zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separationwhen just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know.Ben knows his mom, but he hasn’t met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is onedegree away from Amy. As the chain continues, Amy’s uncle, Mark, is twodegrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is four degrees. Dr. Kingis five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than sixdegrees of separation between any two people in the world.The small-world theory has a lotto do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it islike this: 100 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 = 31.25 × 109. This numberis greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degreesof separation could include everyone in the world.Does the small-world theory work?No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think alittle more about their places in the world.8. Ben is twodegrees away from __________.A. JimmyCarter B. JohnCarter C.Amy D. Mark9. What is themeaning of “degrees of separation” in Paragraph 2?A. The chain toconnect people. B. The relationsbetween people.C. The steps ofknowing strangers. D. The separation betweenstrangers.10. What is thesmall-world theory mainly about?A. How far Ben is away fromDr. King.B. How manypeople one can get to know.C. How people are connectedin the world. D. How thedegrees of separation are set up.11. We can learnfrom the article that _____________.A. the small-world theoryworksB. more researchis needed to prove the theoryC. six degrees are neededto know the strangersD. the writer’spurpose is to help people find out their places选词填空（每题1分，共7分）family,too,do,five,and,farmer,like ( At an English corner )A: Hello!

She screamed, took hold of her purse and the keys.Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a 38 , heard the screams and began running.When they 39 Neilson’s car, the man had jumped into the driver’s seat and was madly looking for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson pulled the man out. The man 40 back.

It was so good to have the whole pool to herself. The fresh water 37 her body immediately. She kept on swimming around the pool.Not having swum in the past several years and being a bit out of shape, June grew 38 easily. “Ah, no pain no gain,”she thought to herself. June continued to swim, realizing her head was hurting. Her breathing became 39 . Then she saw the lifeguard and some others around the pool. No sense in embarrassing（使尴尬）herself or troubling anyone, she 40 on.Then June found herself in the middle of the pool.

Every family had an unpredictable alcoholic (喜怒无常的酒鬼) who was impossible to 37 and a Mom who was there toprotect the children. We were good children and Mom was always telling us we were, 38 Daddy couldn’t see it.

On a wooden door, we drew lots of pretty pictures with chalk. It 40 us to see how gifted we were. These pictures were good! We knew Mom would just love it. But the praise we expected did not come. Instead of seeing the 41 in our work, all Mom could see was the time and effort she would need to clean it off.

My baseball glove was always close by: either undermy desk or my chair at school. My biggest 36 was to play big-league baseball like my favorite star, Billy Hawkins.My favorite 37 of the school day was the time when I could take out myglove and play catch. My teacher, Ms. Welles, told me to leave my glove at home,but I was 38 without my glove. During break, I stood around with sad eyesand drooping shoulders, and in class I was always quiet. She also told me that I could do better in my studies if I concentrated on them. 39 was true.One day, Ms. Welles introduced a special guest to the class—Billy Hawkins! I was 40 ! Billy said, “If you want to be a ball player, it’s important to study hard in school.”“What does school have to do with baseball?” I asked.“I’ll show you by giving you a baseball 41 .” said Billy, “Here’re three questions. Each student who answers all the three questions correctly will win two tickets to a Leopardsg ame!”I was sure I could answer the questions. The first question was, “How do you42a player’s batting average (击球率)?”. I wasn’t sure how to do the math on it. For the second question, Billy handed out an article about baseball. It 43 several words I didn’t understand. The third question was which team had won the World Champion when George Bush became President. 44 I knew about the World Champion winners, I didn’t know much about Presidents.Nobody got all the three answers right. 45 , we would have another chance the following week.That week, we all helped each other. The students who were good with numbers taught the others how to work out the averages. The 46 readers helped with the difficult words, and the best history students helped with important dates and names. When we took the second baseball test, we answered all the questions correctly, and the whole class won the tickets!That afternoon at the stadium, I asked my hero to 47 on my souvenir baseball.
