Gloria worked after school and during summer vacations，and the job helped pay for her first year of college.During college she would do many other jobs：she served coffee in the student union ，was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service.But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs. One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Gloria for books on cancer. The woman seemed anxious.Gloria showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order.The woman left the store less worried，and Gloria has always remembered the pride(⾃豪) she felt in having helped her customer(顾客). Years later，as a television hostess，Gloria heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and hand.His family could not afford an operation，and the boy lived in shame，hiding his hand in his pocket all the time. Gloria persuaded(说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story.After the story was broadcast，some doctors called，offering to perform the operation for free. Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation.The first thing he did was to hold up his repaired hand andsay，“Thank you.”What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt! At Smith's bookstore，Gloria always realized she was working for the customers，not the store.Today it's the same.The TV station pays her，but she feels that she should work for the people who watch the programmes，helping them understand the world better. 56.When did Gloria get her first job?

Try laughing for no reason at all. T hat’s how thousands of people start their day atLaughter Clubs around the world — and many doctors now think that havinga 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’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 inIndia and over 1,300 worldwide.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 fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.Surprisingly, it works! 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 comfort able I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!48. In which country was the first Laughter Club started?A. Britain.B. America.C. Australia.D. India.49. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?A. Surprised.B. Pleased.C. Nervous.D. Stressful.50. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?A. After a few minutes.B. After a few hours.C. After a few seconds.D. After a few days.51. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.B. 40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.C. Adults laugh more often than children in a day.D. Laughing is the best 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 feel connected to him. However, thesmall-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 John Carter (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 everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when 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 on e degree away from Amy. As the chain continues, Amy’s uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 100 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 × 50 = 31.25 × 109. This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of 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 a little more about their places in the world.52. Ben is two degrees away from __________.A. Jimmy CarterB. John CarterC. AmyD. Mark53. What is the meaning of “degrees of separation” in Paragraph 2?A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people.C. The steps of knowing strangers.D. The separation between strangers.54. What is the small-world theory mainly about?A. How far Ben is away from Dr. King.B. How many people one can get toknow.C. How people are connected in the world.D. How the degrees of separation are set up.55. We can learn from the article that _____________.A. the small-world theory worksB. more research is needed to prove the theoryC. six degrees are needed to know the strangersD. the writer’s purpose is to help people find out their places选词填空（每题1分，共7分）( At an English corner )A: Hello!

They knit scarves, hats, socks, sweaters and even wedding dresses.Knitting is called the “new yoga”. It is very relaxing and is the perfect hobby for people who live a busy stressful(紧张的) life. It slows down their heart and lowers their blood pressure. Susan Blomster, a 24-year-old secretary from New York, says, “When I come home from work, I am stressed almost every day.

Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker t o train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the fir st time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).（）56. Where do you think you can find this passage.A. In a magazine about toys.B. In a history book.C. In a newspaper about science.D. In an advertisement.（）57.

Rats are better than robots when smelling.C. Rats are as clever as radios.D. Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.（）60. Why does the “rat project” sound great according to the passage?A. Because rats can get into very small spaces.B. Because rats have better noses than dogs.C. Because rats don’t like robots.D. Because rats are brave.（）61. Which is the best title of this passage?A. Ways of saving peopleB. RatsC. EarthquakeD. Rats for rescueDThe city will start a new plan charging(向……收费)companies according to how much industrial(工业的)waste they produce.
