saying seriously. now however, doctors have begun to investigate 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 heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. it was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. it increases blood pressure, the heart rate and breathing. it also works several groups of muscle 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 pain for the longest time was the one that listened to a funny program. the reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of natural 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, 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.36. which would be the best title for this passage?a. is laughter really the best medicineb. how to laugh morec. an old proverb and its storyd. laughter can

conditions to their patientsb. improve their patients healthc. make patients smiled. prove smile and laughter have the same effect40. which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?a. the effects of laughter are as good as physical exercise.b. laughter helps to produce a kind of natural chemical in the brain which reduces pain and stress.c. some doctors found making patients smile couldnt produce the same effects by laughter.d. americans can go to laughter clinics to improve their health.dobviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.in the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. with a tv set in the family people dont have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .all they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. the television viewers need do nothing. he does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. he makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. he is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. the most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into ones sitting room. it could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. yet here again there is a danger. the television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. we get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. people are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. it makes one think, doesnt it?there are many other arguments for and against television. we must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. it is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.41. what is the major function of paragraph 1? a. to arouse the readers concern b. to introduce the theme of the whole passage c. to summarize the whole passage d. to sate the primary uses of tv42. television, as a source of entertainment, is _. a. not very convenient b. very expensive c. quite dangerous d. relatively cheap43. why are some people against tv? a. because tv programs re not interesting b. because tv viewers are totally passive c. because tv prices are very high. d. because tv has both advantages and disadvantages 44. one of the most obvious advantages of tv is that _. a. it keeps us informed b. it is very cheap c. it enables us to have a rest d. it controls our lives 45. according to the passage,
