traveling west from europe. in order to find asia they had to find a way past south america. the man who finally found the way from the atlantic ocean to the pacific was ferdinand magellan (麦哲伦). magellan sailed from seville in august, 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. fourteen months later, after spending the cold winter on the coast of patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called magellan strait (海峡). in november, 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of south america. they then continued, hoping to reach asia. but they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of asia. before they arrived at these islands, later known as the philippines (菲律宾), men were dying of starvation (饥饿). while they were staying in the philippines, magellan was killed in battle. the remaining officers then had to get back to spain. they decided to sail round africa. after many

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 really can 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 had similar effects to physical exercise. it increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works 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 effect of pain on the body. in one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. the group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme. the reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish（减少）both stress and pain . as a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the united states now hold laughter clinics, 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. 68.doctors have proved the following except that_.a. smiling does good to health b. laughter can be tolerated c. there is a way to reduce pain d. laughter can work the muscles（肌肉） in the feet 69.the main idea of the passage is_.a. laughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human body b. smile can produce the same effects as laughter c. pain can be reduced by laughter d. laughter is the best medicine 70.the students who _ tolerated the pain for the longest time . alistened to different radio programmes bslept in the room c. dont have stress of pain dlistened to a funny programme 71. doctors hold laughter clinics（诊所） _. ato give better condition to their patients bin order to improve patients health cto make patients smile d. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect dcan dogs and cats get along well in the same home? people who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. in two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship. however, it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. for example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从). in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”. whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. they can learn to read each
