入舵市安恙阳光实验学校Unit 17 Laughter 课时练1 2篇阅读＋1篇完形＋1篇应用文写作Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·合肥第二次质检)The idea that you can use humor,laughter, and play to make you healthier probably seems toosimple to be true. However, it is really true and simple.The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an importantpart in keeping you healthy.Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it’s for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了幽默、大笑和玩耍给人们的健康带来的好处。

高考题型提能练十七 Unit 17 LaughterⅠ.阅读理解A“Have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have_a_nice_day. Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stra nger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart­warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.1.How does the author understand Maxie's words?A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D.Maxie really worries about the author's security.2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A.The salesgirl is rude.B.The salesgirl is bored.C.The salesgirl cares about me.D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.3.By saying “Have a nice day”， a stranger may________.A.try to be polite to youB.express respect to youC.give his blessing to youD.share his pleasure with you4.What is the best title of the passage?A.Have a Nice Day — a Social CustomB.Have a Nice Day — a Pleasant GestureC.Have a Nice Day — a Heart­warming GreetingD.Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a ConversationB(2016·日照市校际检测)“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients' health，” researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names，” regulators have warned. “Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under t he age of 40, finding 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person's care.Lesley Fallowfield of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said：“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously reward ing but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life­threatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims.”But she also said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ‘the Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blur ring the professional boundaries with patie nts.”She said，“The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confusing as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like these people, how can I bear to tell them that they're going to die？’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”5.Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients' health?A.Because they don't like to cheat patients.B.Because they are not good at treating patients.C.Because they find it not easy to be objective to the patients.D.Because they seldom blur the relationship with patients.6.What should doctors do according to the regulators?A.Add patients as friends on Facebook.B.Have a close connection with patients in life.C.Always be cold to patients.D.Keep patients at a proper distance.7.Young oncologists will face the following challenges EXCEPT ________.A.dealing with a lot of life­threatening diseasesB.discussing difficulties of treatments with patientsC.explaining the unavailability of some medicinesrming patients of the possible results of the treatments。

选修6U17李仕才一、阅读理解AThe story of Sir Nicholas Winton is the one that you would imagine could only happen on the silver screen. Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II. Sir Winton was responsible for ensuring the safety of six hundred and sixty-nine Jewish children by aiding their escape from countries occupied by Nazis. Finally, the Jewish children were brought to England where he worked to make sure families in his native country would help the kids by taking them into their homes.Recently, this unbelievable story has again been making the rounds on the Internet, particularly after a rerun of the BBC show called “That’s Life”, which featured Sir Winton. People around the world were moved at the details of the story, with saying it to be the best story they’ve ever seen.Sir Winton kept his entire plan completely secret, even his wife had no idea about his planning until fifty years later. After the war, years passed and many people remained in the dark about Sir Winton’s extraordinary achievement. Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton’s notebook which documented the names of all the children. She worked with BBC and they produced a TV episode (插曲) of their program “That’s Life” that served as an honor for Sir Winton’s work.In 2003, Sir Winton was knighted by the Queen of England for his work. He also was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He also had a small planet named after him by Czech astronomers. Sir Winton died peacefully in his sleep at the old age of one hundred and six, in 2015. Leaders around the world paid tribute (悼念). Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Daniel Taub, said, “He was a hero of our time,having saved 669 Jewish children from Nazis. His story, as a point of light in a period of darkness, will forever be remembered.”1.What happened to the 669 Jewish children?A. They were killed by Nazis.B. They returned to their own homes.C. They fled to their native countries.D. They were raised by English families.2.What made Winton’s story spread widely?A. People’s chatting online.B. The program “That’s Life”.C. His wife’s promotion.D. Praises from some leaders.3.Which of the following c an replace the underlined expression “remained in the dark’, in Paragraph 3?A. felt doubtfulB. remained movedC. knew nothingD. criticized something4.What do we know about Winton?A. He was born in 1909.B. Nazis tried to arrest him.C. He named a small planet.D. Many children paid tribute to him.【文章大意】文章主要讲述Sir Nicholas Winton在纳粹期间帮助669个犹太孩子逃到英国的故事。

AYou wake up and the weather is all wet. What are you going to do today? Here are four ideas to try when it's raining cats and dogs.1. Puppet (木偶) showtimeYou can create your own puppets with items your parents already have around the house. First, you'll need some old socks or brown paper bags. Then, get busy decorating them with markers, crayons, glitter, string, ribbons, buttons—even dry macaroni! Give your puppets names and funny voices. You might want to think up a special story for them. To make your show even better, use a cardboard box as a stage.2．Build a fort (碉堡)Ask your parent for some old sheets, blankets, or comforters. Spread them over chairs or other furniture to create a top-secret hideout. Bring a flashlight, a good book to read, and maybe even a snack. And don't forget to think of a secret password !3．Dress -up time !Both boys and girls can have fun trying on old clothes. Ask your parent to let you try on old scarves, hats, jewelry, shoes, and clothes. Do you want to be a doctor? You can pretend an old white shirt is a lab coat. Or maybe you see yourself as a movie star.4．Say thanks.Birthdays and holidays are chances for us to thank people who love us and take good care of us. But it can be a special treat to get a gift or a card on an ordinary day. Think of the people who make you happy and then come up with a way to show them you care. It might be an aunt, uncle, grandmother, neighbor, or babysitter. It could even be your mom or dad! Use your arts and craft supplies to create a special card. You will be delivering sunshine on a rainy day!1．What can you do to make your puppet show much better?A．Creating your puppet by yourself.B．Offering your puppet a good name.C．Giving a special story for your puppet.D．Using a cardboard box as a stage.2．According to the passage, which of the following can be used to create a fort?A．Old sheets, blankets or chairs.B．Old socks or brown paper bags.C．Markers, crayons or comforters.D．Ribbons, chairs or other furniture.3．What do socks, blankets and clothes mentioned in the passage have in common?A．They can be used to create something.B．They can be used as gifts.C．They are all old.D．They are all useless.【语篇解读】下大雨的日子，你是否很郁闷呢？本文就如何让雨天也变得充满乐趣提出了一些建议。

Unit 17 Laughter(A)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·云南高三年级11校跨区调研)If our kids don't fall，they don't learn to get up.I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school.I'm the oldest of four children，and no doubt she'd had a long day with the other kids and it'd slipped her mind.After waiting at school for an hour，I walked the three miles home，and when I got to my house，I shut our front door with anger，stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom's face that she'd forgotten me.Later that night，my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day.I figured my mom would still take me，but when the morning came，she refused.It was midterm，and as a straight­A student ready to start college applications，being late wasn't an option.In my mind，missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career.I begged my mom.I told her she was ruining my future and everything I'd worked for.But she held her ground，and that day，I walked to school.And I missed my tests.My mom didn't rescue me from failure.She let me suffer from it.She let me figure it out.She let me learn.Now，as a mom myself，I've realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow，learn and think outside of ourselves.It's how we self­educate to learn what's right and respectable，and what's not.It's how we become responsible and enthusiastic.Falling down makes us better，because we learn how to get up.【语篇解读】本文作者通过亲身体会告诉我们：失败让我们变得更好，因为我们在失败中学会成长。

Unit 17 LaughterⅠ.阅读理解ANowadays, it seems that everybody wants to be a leader. Countless books about how to manage a company or influence others fill bookstores. But one needn't be a CEO or Politician to be a leader. FormerU. S. President John Adams sa id, “If your action inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.〞The key to becoming such a leader lies in character. People follow only those whom they respect, trust and admire. What attractive traits does such a leader have? Below are five of the most important.Leaders have courageThe New York firefighters who ran into the burning WorldTradeTower to rescue others are modernday models of courage. Yet even more than physical courage, the everyday demands of modern life require moral courage. Insisting on doing the right thing despite pressure to act otherwise takes such courage.Leaders must face fear and doubt in many of the decisions they make. Having these feelings doesn't mean one isn't courageous. After all, courage is not the absence of fear. Rather, it's doing the right thing despite one's fears.Leaders are humbleBeing humble simply means having an accurate view of one's own limitations. Everybody has limitations. Leaders deal with theirs by seeking help from others.When leaders seek help, they recognize the skills that order other people bring to the table. And when they are successful, leaders generously praise all who contributed to the success. Humble leaders don't promote themselves; they promote others.Learning is a lifelong goal, no matter one's position. Humble leaders are never too proud to learn from all sources of knowledge—even those under them.Leaders serve othersJust Christ said，“If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.〞 Leaders serve others and put the needs of others before themselves. They make the good of everyone on the team a personal priority.Leaders who serve others help the whole team accomplish more. Leaders do things to make sure everybody has the resources needed. They go the extra mile to help out during a busy rush. When leaders serve, followers are also encouraged to serve each other.Leaders have passionMoney or success can motivate someone to show up for an activity. But what motivates one to really put his heart into something? The answer is passion—the feeling that the activity is significant.Outstanding leaders inspire others because they are motivated by passion for what they do. Leaders show the significance of routine work to others by emphasizing the big picture. They demonstrate how an activity not only benefits the individual, but also one's family, community and entire society. Their passion ignites the passion of others.Leaders have integrityOne's integrity can be measured by what one does when nobody is looking. Leaders practice what they preach all the time, not just in the presence of others. Leaders also set the example for integrity. If a leader values being punctual, he arrives early.Leadership is more about who you are than what you know or can do. By following these principles, you can become a better person. And that in turn will make you a better leader.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 17 Laughter一、阅读理解。

I love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.Buta big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often I'm smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep，we may run over the day in our minds，and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV，read the news on our smart phones or tablets，or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告)all the good that's happening in the world and work emails make us feel that we're still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but，with the odd exception，I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless it's something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating，when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful night's sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a comfort blanket for me.I'd suggest you find light­hearted reading as a comfort blanket at bedtime，especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time，or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh，then you may feel evenbetter.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain，it strengthens the immune system，it's good for the heart，and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons，I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.1．What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?A．They make people run over the past days.B．They are the best books to be read before people sleep.C．They are extremely popular with young people.D．They make people feel relaxed and happy.2．What can we know from the text?A．Oor Wullie and The Broons are the author's favorite books.B．A comfortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.C．The author sometimes reads something about inspirations.D．Reading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.3．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?A．What material brings us laughter.B．How laughter affects our health.C．What benefits laughter brings to us.D．Why laughter is good for us.4．What's the main purpose of the text?A．To show the importance of reading before sleeping.B．To prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.C．To tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.D．To explain how to choose a book worthy to be read before sleeping.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
