Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. Thats why there are almost no trees or grass in dry deserts.Plants must also have a place to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built(被建立) on hard land. The plants there have only the soil between the cracks of the stones to grow in.Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food. What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as grass, will grow in sand, but most plants wont. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.（1）According to the passage, plants need _ things to grow well.

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 _. A . is good for ones healthB . has strong effects to do with some illnessesC . has been studied for a long timeD . has no effect on the body（2）Doctors have found that laughter _. A . keeps down blood pressureB . has similar effects to physical exerciseC . decreases the heart rateD . increases stress and pain（3）Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter according to the passage? A . It makes pain less.B . It exercises the body.C . It improves the bodys immune system.D . It can cure（治愈）cancer.（4）Smiling can produce _.A . about the same effects as laughterB . more effects than laughterC . fewer effects on the human bodyD . no effects on the human body四、 口语运用 (共1题；共5分)21. （5分）情景对话。A: What a nice day!
