So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of month, when she got the painters bill. At the bottom of it were these words: “Four hours from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. watching Miss Hall sing and dance: 3 pounds,”with this note: “Before 5:00 p.m. I get 10 shillings (先令)an hour and after 5:00 p.m. 15 shillings.”（1）The actress bought a house in the center of the city because.A . she liked to live in the busiest placeB . she didnt like to live in the countryC . she wanted to work harder than beforeD . she didnt want to live in old house（2）In order to make the painter work better for her, the actress.A . gave him two tickets for her showB . sang and danced for four hoursC . decided to give him 3 poundsD . invited him for a big dinner（3）The actress got the painters bill.A . to ask for the money of his painting workB . to ask her to pay for his watching her showC . in which he showed his thanks for the ticketsD . in which he expressed his dissatisfaction（4）It can be learned from the text that one pound isshillings.A . 10B . 12C . 15D . 20（5）What kind of man was the painter?A .

The fact is that they arent.Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. Thats why many people dont think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain, students arent required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only a choice at school. In British schools its common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why dont students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think its more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.（1）What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A . The people in England are good at learning languages.B . Most of British people only speak English.C . British people are known for speaking foreign languages.D . Most of British people want to learn more than one language.（2）How many ways will the British government use to improve language learning? A . One.B . Two.C . Three.D . Four.（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . People in other European countries speak English as much as British people.B . One British student cant give up learning a foreign language until 14.C . Students in Britain prefer to learn science or history rather than learn a foreign language.D . Its unusual for British students not to learn a foreign language.（4）What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A . Young English learners.B . Schools in the UK.C . Speaking English.D . Foreign language learning in the UK.19. （4分） Interested in Chinese calligraphy (书法) experiences?

Untilrecently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors havebegun to study laughter and the effects (作用)it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really canimprove peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on thebody. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, bloodpressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effectsto physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rateof breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomachand even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect ofpain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups ofstudents who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bearthe pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program.The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produceendorphins (内啡肽)in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.There isalso some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immunesystem that is the system which fights infection (感染).In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while anothergroup served as the control group in other words, a group with which tocompare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in bothgroups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had anincrease in the activity of their white blood cells the cells which fightinfection.As a result ofthese discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病专家)in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improvetheir patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found thateven if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile isenough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.（1）We learn from the first paragraph that laughter _.
