B12-year-old John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan. Ive liked trains probably from the day I was born, he told Good Morning America. When I was very little, he said, my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours. When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great. His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldnt keep it to himself: he decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldnt pay the fare, he collected cans (罐子) and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them. That trip was such a happy one that he made it a yearly action. It never gets boring for some reason; its just fun, he said. It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun. Every October, Robertson takes a new group of children to ride on the train but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible (可用的) to disabled people. He was angry to think that children of his own age couldnt ride a train, his mother said.

As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光束) from swinging(摇摆)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But I neednt have done so. I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps. Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jacks room. He was in bed awake but he didnt even turn towards me. “Whats up, Jack?” I said. “For Gods sake, dont make a noise,” he said. The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury. “Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said. I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour (v.迁就)him to keep him happy, “Theres a snake here” he explained, “Its asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was out of the question. I couldnt have moved even if Id wanted to .” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on,” It hasnt bitten me yet but I darent do anything to upset it. It might wake up. Im sick of this,” he said, “I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.” There was no time to argue or apologize for being late. I looked at him as encouragingly as I could and went out to telephone the doctor.31. When he got home, Neville found that _? A. Jack had fallen asleep while reading B.

Then a few more people begin to laugh. Soon, the whole group are laughing. They are not laughing because someone has said something funny. Instead, this group of people are practicing laughter therapy(疗法).When we laugh from being tickled( 胳肢 ) or after hearing a joke, our bodies and minds feel good. Laughing is also contagious. When one person laughs, the people around him or her will soon start laughing, too.Laughter therapy has been used in hospitals since the 1970s. Dr Lee Berk of Loma University Medical Centre, California, has been studying laughter therapy since the late 1970s. In 1989, Berk studied the effects of laughter in 10 men. Five men watched an one-hour-long comedy ( 喜剧 ) while another five didnt. The research showed that the men who watched the comedy and laughed developed better immune systems （ 免疫系统 ）compared to those who did not. Similarly, those who laughed during their treatment recovered faster. In India, Dr Madan Kataria started a laughter club in 1995 to encourage good health. From then on, this form of therapy has spread around the world. There are now more than 5,000 laughter clubs worldwide. People in these groups may feel uncomfortable at first because they feel laughter is forced( 被迫的 ), but once they give in and fully enjoy the 45-minute activity, they feel comfortable. People who take part in laughter therapy prove what scientists have known for years- laughter is the best medicine.36. What do people do during the laughter therapy? A. Tickle the doctor B.
