You dont even need a sense of humor, no funny jokes or comedy programsjust a willingness to laughand in the present climate everyone needs to laugh more.Laughter Yoga is a combination of Laughter Exercises and Yogic Breathing, so that you increase the amount of oxygen in your body while being playful, resulting in you feeling healthier, energetic and alive. This actually changes the physical conditions of your body so that you start to feel happier.Laughter Yoga is generally done in groups although it can be practiced alone. When you make eye contact with someone and youre both willing to laugh, the laughter is increased. However, we do say that you can “Fake(假装) it, fake it till you make it” because the body doesnt know the difference between fake and true laughter; as long as youre willing to laugh youll experience the same health benefits.Laughter Yoga started in a park in Mumbai in 1995 with just 5 participants, and now there are over 6,000 laughter clubs in 60 different countriesshowing the willingness of the world to laugh together.In the UK, Julie was one of the first people to train as a Laughter Leader with Dr Kataria in June 2002. In 2020 she was awarded Laughter Ambassador for her selfless service to promote Laughter Yoga.“Yoga has been part of my life for 30 years but 7 years ago my life changed when I discovered Laughter Yoga.

She hopes to use the language at next years Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizawa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyos 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. “When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, Its not too late. We will teach you one word a day ”. Natsuko is Takamizawas granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmothers phone every day. They also often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. “Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. Its my joy now.”The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.24. Why couldnt Takamizawa learn English when she was young?A. Because English was useless.B. Because she was too young to learn English.C. Because English was forbidden to learn.D. Because she was unwilling to learn English.25.

It is never too late to learn.C. The early bird catches the worm. D. Two heads are better than one.CWhen a baby is seven months old, he or she can already feel, hear, taste, smell and see. As a new mother, you should know that your child is ready to learn about the world from birth.Touch. One of the most important means of communicating a mother has with her baby is touch. Babies enjoy gentle touch and rhythmic(有节奏的) movement. While inside the mother, the baby is used to being rocked by the mothers movements. After birth, the same rocking movements comfort him or her. Crying babies often become quiet by being put close to the mothers body and gently rocked. Even the most common activitiesfeeding and bathing the baby, or walking with the baby in your armsimprove the babys sense of touch and movement.Smell and Taste. Even at birth, babies show that they can tell apart different kinds of smells by turning away from unpleasant ones. They quickly learn to recognize familiar smells, especially their mothers. Although their taste organs arent completely developed, they can tell sweet from sour and much prefer the former.Hearing. A baby listens to your voice, your heartbeat, breathing, and so on. When his or her head is pressed against your chest, those familiar sounds are comforting, and many babies fall asleep in this position. You may notice that high-pitched(高声的) voices are more pleasant to babies, so men should raise the pitch of their voices when speaking to them. As a baby gains more control over his or her head movements, it becomes clear that he or she can correctly identify the location of a sound source. Loud, sharp noises often upset babies, while soft, rhythmic sounds calm them down. Music boxes, toys that make pleasant sounds and soft music stimulate(激发) the babies sense of hearing.27. This article is mainly written for .A. doctorsB. mothersC. childrenD. fathers28. Which of the following is TRUE about babies?A. They dont like the mothers movements.B. They can tell sweet from sour by smell.C. Theyre not sure of where sounds are coming from.D. They would be upset by a toy that makes sharp noise.29. Men should raise their voices when speaking to babies because .A. higher voices are more familiar to babiesB. they need to attract babies attentionC. babies like higher-pitched voicesD. babies cant hear clearly30. In the next part the author will probably talk about .A. a babys sense of sightB. the effect of a mother on her babyC. how to improve a babys senses of smell and tasteD. how a babys hearing develops inside the mother第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。How Can I Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.31 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more active approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 32Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living roommayprovide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 33 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and childrenmayall have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 34 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.35 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. To fight family laziness, set an example.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.F. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for the children.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案。Many years ago, there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something for the people of his town.
