Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools’ Day. But surprisingl y, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn’t dependent on single sense but on social interactions.And laughter is not just a people thing. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled — they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.By studying rats, scientists can_____what’s going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, mainly because it’s hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn’t really matter: “Isn’t the fact that laughter feels good when y ou do it enough?”1．（小题1）The underlined word “figure out” in Paragraph 6 means “________”.A．deal with B．work outC．look out of D．come up with2．（小题2）According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ______.A．how they laughB．if they like laughingC．what laughter in rats producesD．how rats react while being tickled3．（小题3）What can we know from Robert Provine’s research?A．Laughter makes a person feel good.B．Laughter produces a direct health benefit.C．Laughter depends on all kinds of senses.D．Laughter is a way of communicating.4．（小题4）What is probably the best title for this passage?A．Why Rats LaughB．When Laughter HappensC．How Laughter WorksD．Why Laughter MattersB14、Squirrels (松鼠）are getting ready for winter. They are looking for nuts and seeds，digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. That’s where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees，like tender buds(花苞).Squirrels may also eat com, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.When they need food, squirrels use their memory and smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes，you’ll even see them digging through the snow.Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels(地道)where it iswarmer.When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.That’s why you’ll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels.1．To get ready for winter, squirrels do all of the following EXCEPT .A．store leaves to keep warm B．look for nuts and seedsC．find holes in trees D．dig holes in the ground2．Why do squirrels spend a lot of time in trees?A．Because they can keep warm in trees.

Sharks are among the oldest animals in the world. There are over three hundred fifty different kinds of sharks in the world. Most sharks are about two meters long and live in the oceans.A shark can smell something in the water, for example, the blood of animals. That helps them find their food. Sharks mainly eat fish, other sharks and plants in the ocean.Most sharks bite (咬) people by mistake. They think a person is a large sea animal. When the sun goes down or comesup, sharks are looking for food. So at these times people shouldn't go swimming in the ocean.Today people kill sharks for food and their skin.

It might change your mind.Moshe Kai Cavalin is a 14-year-old American boy. He is about to graduate from UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) this year. Before that, he had already gotten a degree (学位) from East Los Angeles Community College in 2009.Recently, Cavalin published (出版) the book We Can Do. In this book, he talks about how to achieve things we want, by keeping yourself focused (专心的) and trying your best to do everything. He says this doesn’t need genius (天才), just hard work.Cavalin says being called a genius “has always bothered (使烦恼) me… People need to know they don’t have to be geniuses; they just need to work hard and they can achieve anything. If I can reach the stars, others can reach the MilkyWay(银河，天河）.”The idea of writing a book came from a teacher named Richard Avila at his first college. Cavalin says Avila inspired (启发) him to write a book to explain how he succeeded, so he could inspire other people.It took Cavalin four years to finish the book. Because his mother is Chinese, she wanted to publish the book in Chinese. So Cavalin translated the book into Chinese by himself.
