In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed, when Starbucks (星巴克) coffee shops spread throughout the countryThe first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington，in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shops business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment (设备) . He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the companys head of marketing (市场营销).In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso (浓咖啡) bars there caught his eyes. Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores in the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.However，that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing (竞争) for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the comfortable environment offered by Starbucks.36 .

Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas？ABecause the coffee in these places was too expensiveBBecause the style of the coffee stores seems the sameCBecause people like to drink coffee at home with friendsDBecause there were too many coffee shops in one place39 . To tell us the story of Starbucks, the writer did the following except .Aintroducing how Starbucks became successfulBshowing what Schultz did to help Starbucks become successfulCtelling what difficulties Starbucks facesDtelling what Starbucks did to deal with his problems40 . Whats the best title for the passage？AThe History of StarbucksBThe Culture of StarbucksCThe Popularity of StarbucksDThe environment of StarbucksFirefighter Kate Wilson works in Brooklyn New York.

Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the influences it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really make people healthier.Tests were carried out to study the influences of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar influences to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing. 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 (有益的).Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce pain on the body. In one test doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which reduce both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics (诊所), in which they try to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. Because of good influences, such clinics are very popular with all kinds of patients. Doctors have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial influences similar to those caused by laughter.Since laughter is so effective, try to laugh as much as you can.
