Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the hall of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she walked slowly to the elevator, I provided a true description of her tiny room, including the old sheets that had been hung on her window. “I love it,” she said with the happiness of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. “Mrs. Jones, you havent seen the roomjust wait.” “That doesnt matter,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged. Its how I arranged my mind. I have already decided to love it. Its a decision I make every morning when I wake up. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open Ill focus on the new day and all the happy memories Ive stored away.” She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account(账户). You take what youve put in. So, my advice to you would be to put in a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.

Ive always wanted one like that.” What could I do? Ten minutes later I was 20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too. In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, “There is a long line of cars behind. Why dont they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me. “Right, sir,”he said. “Do you need any more help?” I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “Youve been very kind. I live just on the road.” He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “Its a cupboard youve got there!

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 heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles(肌肉). It was found that laughter has similar effects(影响) to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; 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(有效的). 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 group which listened to a funny programme. 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, 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. 53. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG? A. Laughter is good for health. B. Laughter helps to reduce pain. C. Laughter can make you become old quickly. D. Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body. 54. The underlined word “diminishes”in the third paragraph means “_”. A. delays B. prevents C. reduces D. increases 55. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health. B. Laughter is the best medicine. C. Laughter can reduce the effect of pain. D. Laughter clinics can help patients improve their condition. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ideas for teaching kids bus safety If your child is getting close to school age, start educating him about school bus safety. Your child may be both excited and anxious about riding on the school bus for the first time. 56 Set a schedule(时间表） Bus safety education should begin before your child leaves the house in the morning by learning to be on schedule. Remind him of what time he should be leaving the house. 57 So your child understands the importance of taking his time and not running to catch the bus. 58. Make a picture with your child so he can learn more about the school bus safety zones(地带）in a fun way. Draw a school bus and have him color it. Talk about where the danger zones are around the bus. Have him role-play getting on or off the bus, where to stand and where and when to cross the street. Practice with a real bus 59 Teach him about standing away from the curb(马路牙子）while waiting for the bus. Show him the danger zones around the bus as you get on and off.
