people, like the kids who studied hard for the test or who were the true winners of a game.many people like the action of cheating. it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. but it doesnt solve the problem of not knowing the material and it wont help on the next test unless the person cheats again.many people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. the cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. and, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.some kids cheat because theyre busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. other kids might feel like they cant pass the test without cheating. even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isnt a good idea.if you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldnt study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. and if you dont have enough time to study for a test because of your swimming practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school study.a kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.66.the author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _.ateachers shouldnt stop them at oncebit does harm to their healthcteachers should punish themdit is unfair to other people67why do some students like cheating ?abecause the material in the test is too difficult.bbecause cheating can make hard things seem very easy.cbecause they want to do better than the others.dbecause they have little time to study their lessons.68.the main idea of the fourth paragraph is _.awhy kids cheat in the testbthat those who cheats in the test are rather lazycthat those who cheats in the test are very busydthat those who cheats in the test are too stupid to pass the test69we can learn from the passage that _.acheaters are often thought highly ofbparents whose kids cheat are often in troublecpeople show no respect for those who cheat dkids cheat in the test because of their swimming practice70 the writer in the passage advises those cheaters to_.afind good solutions instead of cheatingbspend more time on school study than on sportsctry hard to be diligent rather than lazydask their classmates for good methods of studycthere is an english saying that “laughter is the best medicine.” until recently, few people took the saying seriously. now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. they have found that laughter can really improve peoples health.tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. people watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. it was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. it increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. if laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. in one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. the group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. the reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.as a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the united states now hold laughter clinics(诊所), in which they help to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. they have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.71.according to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?a. laughter helps improve health.b. laughter shares similar functions with physical exercises.c. laughter can take the place of medicine.d. laughter acts as a painkiller to some extent.72.the underlined word “diminishes” in paragraph 3 means “_”.a. stopsb. killsc. lessensd. rises73.some doctors hold laughter clinics in order to _.a. earn fameb. improve their patients conditionc. make moneyd. make patients happy and relaxed74. according to the author, we should_. a. watch more funny filmsb. always keep quiet c. often visit laughter clinics d. often laugh happily75.what would be the best title for this passage?a. beneficial laughter and physical exerciseb. popular laughter clinicsc. painkillerlaughterd. the best

are habits so importantthe single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. it is as simple as that. your habits will determine whether you are successful or not. if you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run. 76. _ because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day, a single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your li
