24、2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, people wrote longer articles and more complete sentences.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes so

43、 all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist(神经科学家), Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for many years. “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)

44、 in our brain that produces this sound.”Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. 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 m

45、aking a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on 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. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each

46、other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.By studying rats, s

47、cientists can_whats going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey 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 do

48、ctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be 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 improv

49、ement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health 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

50、 you do it enough?”1（小题1）The underlined word “figure out” in Paragraph 6 means “_”.Adeal with Bwork outClook out of Dcome up with2（小题2）According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find _.Ahow they laughBif they like laughingCwhat laughter in rats producesDhow rats react while being

52、HappensCHow Laughter WorksDWhy Laughter MattersF18、THIS year the US Mint will honor one of the countrys most famous writers.“Mark Twain”， the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844). Now he is going

53、 to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins. But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesnt seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twains famous face on it wouldn

54、t have made people forget about him. The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works. Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Hucks freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) fat

55、her， he isnt really looking for freedom， but survival. Its even more of a problem for a slave. Jim， the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps， makes Hucks life seem even better. Its easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says yo

56、u are a piece of property(财产). Huck and Jims friendship， as shown by Mark Twain， is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character， Huck， who gets an idea of the African American experience.Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins.

57、Anyway， the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.With the race issue(种族问题)_in the US today， perhaps Twain still has something to teach todays readers.1How many novels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage?AOne BTwo CThr
