Thats how thousands of people start their day at Laughter 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, “Everyones naturally good at laughing. 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 interested in the effects 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 wasnt 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 cant 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 couldnt stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if youre under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!54. The first Laughter Club was started in _.A. Britain B. America C. Australia D. India55. The writer felt _ at the beginning of the class?A. surprised B. pleased C. nervous D. stressful56. The people in the club began to laugh for real _?A. after ten minutes B. after ten hours C. after a few seconds D. after ten days57. 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.（C）Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish. But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the smaller road to the most popular bar around. He has to be at service of all kinds of passengers at all times. A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows. During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshments (提神). He said, “I never drink when Im working - I would lose my license.” He usually goes home between 2 and 3 oclock in the night. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, “Thats the worst thing about working for yourself. If you dont make any money, no one is going to give it to you.” London taxi drivers not only “take” but also “give”. Every summer hundreds of children from London will go for a day at the sea - by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers, and these all go to the “London Taxi for Underprivileged Children”. At the sea, they are met by the mayor (市長(zhǎng)), and a lunch party is also held in honor of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the markets, the children go home again - by taxi, and free of charge (支出), of course!58. From the first paragraph, we can see that_. A. highways are developing very fast and there are more and more taxis.B. it is easy to get to any place of the country nowC. it is fun to travel everywhere in a carD. the writer wants to tell us that a London taxi driver has many difficulties in his driving59. It is not easy to be a taxi driver in London because _. A. he has to know all the places in the city and serve all kinds of passengers at all the time B. there is much traffic in London and people there like traveling by taxi C. he has to follow the bright traffic sighs D. although he works hard he earns little money60. The underlined phrase “Underprivileged Children” in the last paragraph is about the children _. A. who have little knowledgeB. whose families are poor C. who will go to seaC. who like taking a taxi61. What is the passage about? A. Traffic in London.B. London taxi for children C.Taxi divers job in London.D. Drivers disliking taxis in London（D）In the tenth grade, I began volunteering at a vet hospital in order to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. As it turned out, the experience I got at the hospital taught me the opposite: my future was not in vet medicine. However, there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something maybe more important. The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and we often had people come in who could just only pay for the most basic treatments. This Saturday a man and his young son, who was probably about 7 years old, walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box. I remember the cat had an eye infection (感染) but the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine in addition to the exam. When he asked where the nearest the animal shelter（庇護(hù)所） was, his son cried and started to argue with his father. Out of the blue, an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, walked up to the counter, and told the man that she would pay for anything that he could not afford. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat. I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person, but it was only seen on TV or in movies. The woman in the vets office taught me that these things do happen in real life, and should happen more often. When I am hesitant (猶豫) to help someone who is in need, I remember that woman, and have the courage to do it. Sometimes other people follow.62. Why did the writer work at the vet hospital? A. He thought he would work there in the future. B. He wanted to get some skills of treating animals. C. He wanted to get some money for his schooling. D. He wanted to get some experience for his future work.63. What is the most important according to the writer? A. How to be a kind person who helps others. B. The practical experience of the vet job. C. How to deal with the owners of pets. D. The knowledge of vet medicine.64. What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue”? A. Out of order.B. All of a sudden. C. Now and then.D. First of all.65. _ made the writer have the courage to help someone in need. A. The officerB. The boyC. The womanD. The father 五、詞匯運(yùn)用（共l0小題；每小題l分，計(jì)l0分）根據(jù)句子意思，用括號(hào)中所給漢語提示或英語單詞的適當(dāng)形式填空。在答題卡標(biāo)有題號(hào)的橫線上，寫出空缺處所填單詞的正確形式。（每空一詞）66. You can make a among those beautiful dresses. （選擇）67.

But why do many people still do some reading every day?First, reading books is fun. You can always make your friends feel happy if you like reading. This is especially useful when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become lost in a book.Next, you can read a book in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient (方便的) hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it. This means that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much easier. Many school subjects depend on good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.Some people say that reading is out of date（過時(shí)）. This is not true. You have to be able to read to use a computer, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is hardly out of date!Good readers are most likely to be good writers, too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby. What other hobby could be more useful, or more enjoyable!Title: 76 is a good hobbyMain reasonsIt can bring your friends the 77 of happiness and 78 yourself.It is a convenient hobby and you can read books 79 .It can make you 80 better and help you learn 81 and faster.Other reasonsReading 82 out of date.
