Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter （笑声）Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
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 is 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 l,300 in the world.
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. 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 real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it worked! 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!

If parents care about their children whether they have made many friends, what matters is that the child is comfortable and happy with his friends. Parents need to understand the steps children take in building friendships.
First of all, be a friend of your child's. Good friendships start at home. Children begin to develop the necessary ability to go out and meet others through getting on with their parents. Greet the child warmly and let him know you are glad to see him. Children learn a lot from how their parents stay with them and other people.
Teach children how to solve conflicts. Being able to work out conflicts is an important skill in getting along with others. If parents know the children have a conflict, let them work it out on their own. Only step in if it is really necessary, for example, an argument is getting physical.
Give children chances to practise staying together. Make children play games that require teamwork and group problem-solving skills. For example, races are fun and provide plenty of practice in teamwork. "In what way didn't you work well together? What might you do differently next time?" For these ideas, read books such as Cooperative Sports and Games Book by Terry Orlick, and Team Building Activities for Every Group by Alanna Jones.

12．阅读理解
How do you get to school every day? By bus or car? Song Kexin, a 14-year-old schoolgirl in Xiamen, prefers to go to school on her bike. "It's the quickest and easiest way to get to school," she said. "When there's a traffic jam, I feel the freedom while passing so many car lines."
China was once known as the kingdom of bicycles. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. Last year, more bicycles were sold than cars in Europe, according to the BBC.
Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health.
Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. The popularity of cycling in many European countries is greatly because of bike-friendly policies.
As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated（分离）as much as possible. On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while they are crossing.
In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. You can start from three hours and the average price for a full day is 8 euros （66.8 yuan）.
This year, in Ruian, there are also similar policies to hire public bikes. It's only 20 yuan for a full day. Do you see them around the city? It's important to be safe when you are cycling. If you remember the following ideas, you will be safer.
■Although you may think a helmet（头盔）is not cool, it can protect your head if you fall down. Just choose the one that fits you best.
■Stop at all stop signs and obey red lights just as cars do. It's a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossings by following traffic lights.
■If you are cycling with friends, ride in a line. Don't ride with each other side by side.
■Wearing headphones while you are biking is not a good idea. You need to hear what's going on around you.
（1）Which of these advantages of cycling are NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Quick, easy and free.
B. Safe, clean and cheap.
C. Green, healthy and popular.
D. Convenient, traditional and comfortable.
（2）In Paragraph 5, the underlined word "They" refers to " ".
A. pre-green lights
B. car traffic lights
C. Copenhagen's roads
D. bike rental companies
（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Cycling is much better than driving cars.
B. It is helpful for cyclists to wear a helmet.
C. More bicycles were sold than cars in China last year.
D. In Amsterdam, the average price for a bike is 8 euros.
（4）What is the best title for the passage?

B. Bike-friendly Policies Around Us
C. Bikes' Rising Popularity in Europe
D. How to Solve the Problems of Transportation
【答案】（1）A
（2）A
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】【分析】短文大意：这篇短文讲的是中国曾经是自行车王国，但是这些年欧洲人们骑自行车的人的数量正在上升，人们为什么要骑自行车和怎样骑自行车更安全。
（1）细节理解题。根据 Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health. As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated（分离）as much as possible. In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. 文章提到自行车可租用，不是免费的，故选A。
（2）词意猜测题。根据 On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while they are crossing. 在这些路上，对于骑行者有优先绿灯。这些自行车的交通绿灯在机动车交通绿灯前几秒钟变绿。当骑行者穿过马路时它们给他们时间来避免交通拥堵。可知此处they指的是优先绿灯。故选A。

13．阅读理解
What can we learn from the special, very successful people in the world who make the impossible possible?
Lesson 1: Ways of creative thinking are needed
Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking. They think standard ways of teaching might stop people from being creative and having new ideas.
Lesson 2: The answer might not be what you expect
Find your answers from facts-not start with an expectation of what you will find. Stephen Jacobsen believed what he was taught: that water on Earth came from icy comets（封星） or planets which hit into Earth.
However, by studying a special rock, he discovered that it acted like a sponge（海绵）. This suggested that Earth's water might have come from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity.
"I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, "he said. "But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn't happen very often. When it does, it's amazing."
Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way
Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency's "Philae", a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by "Philae" had taken ten years!
The scientists had no idea what the surface of the comet would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted.
When "Philae" tried to land, it bounced（弹起）away from the comet's icy surface twice. Luckily, however, "Philae" landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because____________.
A. they preferred to learn by themselves
B. they needed standard ways of teaching
C. their teachers didn't like their new ideas
D. their teachers weren't able to teach them
（2）In Lesson 2, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________.
A. we should get answers from facts
B. we can believe what we are taught
C. it's hard to make others believe something
D. an expectation can help get an answer in research
（3）The example of "Philae" in Lesson 3 shows that________.
A. Comet 67P was not far away from Earth
B. it took "Philae"2o years to reach Comet 67P
C. "Philae" landed on Comet 67P with a little luck
D. scientists know nothing about the surface of Comet 67P
（4）The best title for this passage is_____.
A. Ways of learning
B. Lessons for success
C. Ways of being special
D. Lessons for experiments
【答案】（1）A
（2）A
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了我们能从世界上那些让不可能成为可能的特别的、非常成功的人身上学到很多。
（1）细节题。根据 Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg both dropped out of college. They prefer to teach themselves because they like to develop their own ways of thinking 可知，比尔·盖茨和马克·扎克伯格离开大学是因为他们更喜欢自学，故选A。
（2）主旨题。根据 Find your answers from facts 可知，作者主要想告诉我们应该从事实中得到答案，故选A。
（3）推理题。根据 The European Space Agency's "Philae", a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P 欧洲航天局的“菲莱”号机器人登陆艇遇到了彗星67p和When "Philae" tried to land, it bounced（弹起）away from the comet's icy surface twice. Luckily, however, "Philae" landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth 当“菲莱”试图着陆时，它反弹（弹起）远离彗星冰冷的表面两次。然而幸运的是，“菲莱”号成功着陆，并开始向地球发回信息，可知例子表明菲莱幸运地降落在彗星67p上，故选C。
（4）主旨题。根据本文介绍了我们能从世界上那些让不可能成为可能的特别的、非常成功的人身上学到很多，可知 Lessons for success适合做标题，故选B。

15．阅读理解
I believe that we can have an important effect on anyone we meet. The right words at just the right time could change someone's life. When I was three years old, my parents discovered I was deaf. After asking many doctors and parents of other deaf children, they decided to put me in a normal school.
On my first day in the school, the other kids made fun of me because of my hearing aid. And then I saw myself as an ugly kid.
Mrs. Jordan, my teacher changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase. One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her lips（嘴唇） and raised my hand right away. She called me. I took a deep breath and nervously answered Mrs. Jordan's question.
I will never forget what happened next. Mrs. Jordan pointed directly at me. With a big smile
