15、f the natures great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.“Laughter above all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist(神经科学家), Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for many ye

16、ars. “All laughter groups laugh ha-ha-ha basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak.

17、 No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools Day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people o

18、n cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isnt dependent on single sense but on social interactions.And laughter is not just a people thing.

Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jef

20、frey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to b

21、e the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct hea

22、lth benefit,” Provine said, mainly because its hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesnt really matter: “Isnt the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough?”1（小题1）The underlined word “figure out” in Paragraph 6 means “_”.Adeal with Bwork outClook out of Dcom

She bought ti

25、ckets to the concert of a great pianist. When the evening arrived，they found their seats near the front of the concert hall and looked at the big piano waiting on the stage(舞台). Soon the mother found a friend to talk to and her son ran off.At eight oclock, the lights in the hall became weak, and the

26、 concert was set to start. The mother began to look for the boy. Then, she saw her 6-year-old son on stage. He was on the piano bench playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.The mother was very amazed. Before she could get her son back, the famous pianist himself was on the stage and quickly moved to t

27、he piano.“Dont stop. Keep playing,” he said kindly to the boy. The great pianist reached down with his left hand and began filling in the bass (低音部) part of the song. Soon, his right arm reached around the other side and played a beautiful piece of music. Together, the old pianist and the little boy

28、 impressed people with their beautiful music.In all of our lives, we receive helping hands some we notice, some we dont. Equally we ourselves also have lots of chances to give a helping hand to others sometimes we want people to know, sometimes we dont. Little of what we all achieve comes without ot

29、hers help. What we receive we should give back.1The mother took her son to the piano concert because _.Aher friend sent them two ticketsBthe pianist invited them thereCshe wanted to develop his interest in pianoDher son liked the pianist very much2When the mother found her son playing on stage, she

Why? The answer is simple. The government is trying to re

32、duce the use of air conditioners.Although air conditioners make our lives easier in hot weather, they can be bad for the environment. The coolers use a great deal of electricity to function and add to the effects of global warming.But it is a vicious (恶性的) cycle. As temperatures rise, there will be

33、more need for air conditioning.Pawel Wargocki, an expert at the Technical University of Denmark, told The New York Times: “The air conditioning causes a huge problem to global climate and energy use.” He added, “More and more air conditioners are used. Its very dangerous.”We cant live with air condi

34、tioning. But the thing is, we cant live without it either. Scientific studies have shown that if indoor temperatures are high in hot weather, people will suffer from certain health problems and have a lower productivity.For example, when air conditioners were turned down in Japanese offices, the roo

35、m temperature rose to 3 or higher. As a result, workers started getting headaches, and feeling sleepy.They couldnt give all their attention to work and their productivity dropped by 2 percent, which means they did 30 minutes less work each day, according to Shinichi Tanabe, a professor of architectu

36、re at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.So the best way to balance our comfort with environmental awareness is to change our expectations. Most of the time, its not that the room is too hot, but that we are used to it being cooler.“The temperature many Americans find most comfortable indoors in summ

37、er 21C feels uncomfortable to most Europeans, who find it too cold.” said Michael Sivak, professor at a University of Michigan, US. He said it is because Europeans care more about the environment and are willing to accept a bit more heat in summer.Also, we can try to change our daily behavior. Open

38、the windows to let air in, for example. Turning on the air conditioner is not the only way to make us feel comfortable.1What did the Japanese government do to reduce the use of air conditioners?ATo allow the workers to wear T-shirts to work.BTo stop the workers from using air conditioners.CTo let pe

39、ople accept a bit more heat in summer.DTo ask people to open windows to let air in.2The writer probably agrees that _.Amost people will be sick without air conditionersBglobal warming is mainly caused by air conditionersCpeople have to be used to living without air conditionersDwe should change our

40、expectations to protect environment3We can learn from the passage that _.AJapanese office workers are less productive in summerBAmericans care less about environment than EuropeansCPeople in Denmark believe air conditioners are dangerousDEuropeans accept a bit cooler than Americans in summer4Which o

41、f the following would be the best title for the passage?AProtect Environment: Is it time to change business suits?BProtect Environment: Is it time to focus on temperature?CProtect Environment: Shall we change our expectations?DProtect Environment: Shall we stop using air conditioners?D16、Next time y

It is somet

49、hing unhappy. For example, a student is called in by his teacher to explain why he didnt finish his homework.Every American, young or old, knows the phrase “to face the music” well. Its at least 30 years old. Where did the expression come from? One explanation (解释) is about the American writer James

50、 Fennimore Cooper. He said the expression was first used by actors. When they were asked to perform, they would say, “Its time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did-face the band which is just below the stage (舞台). An actor might be nervous when he moved onto the stage in front of th

51、e audience (观众). But he had to go out. So, “to face the music” came to mean having to go through something no matter how unhappy it might be, because you had no choice. The other explanation comes from the army. The soldiers had to face their leaders check. They were worried about how well they look

52、ed. Were their guns clean enough to pass the check? Still, the men had to go out to face the check. What else could they do?1What does the expression “to face the music” exactly mean?ATo go to a concert.BTo become interested in music.CTo join the army.DTo go through something unhappy.2In which of th

55、usic, he will have no choice.F18、LETS GO FLY A KITECome to the kite celebration, enjoy yourself and learn more.Show your support for PTO!WhenSaturday, May 27,from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. WherePiedmont Middle SchoolWhyFor fun!CostFree, thanks to a generous gift from Biz Kite Company!OrganizerThe Piedm
