We’d provide the cake, the balloons, the toasts, and they’d abide by one rule: no fighting.The truce was honored.We had a wonderful day.In hindsight it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began to change for my parents.As debilitating dementia settled in, their marriage was about the only thing they wouldn’t lose.[共5题](1)According to the passage, which of the following descriptions about the marriage of writer’s parents is NOT true?(A)Quarrels and conflicts became the most common things in their marriage.(B)Their marriage based on romantic love lasted 60 years.(C)The situations of their marriage didn’t get better after their retirement.(D)This was not a very successful marriage.你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B(2)The author’s parents always had quarrels in their lives because__________.(A)the writer’s parents didn’t love each other any more(B)the writer’s father failed in his business

[第一单元];第5小题：A 推论题。根据全文内容，我们可以推断出一个成功的婚姻并不仅仅只需要浪漫的爱情，当爱情慢慢的淡漠了以后更需要的是理解，耐心和忍让。因此只有A项正确。

44.Valentine’s Day is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian churchman who reportedly helped young lovers.Valentine was executed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago, but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers.As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on piece of paper and put them in a large container.Boys reached into the container and pulled one out.The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet for a year.Lovers still put their names on piece of paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell of their love.Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy.Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system.But some use another way to send this message.They have it printed in a newspaper.The cost is usually a few dollars.Some of the messages are simple and short: “Jane.I love you very much.” Others say more.This one, for example: “Dan, Roses are red Violets are blue.I hope you love me as much as I love you.Forever.Mary.”

Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local, but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries as well.This means someone can send a Valentine message to a lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world.These messages cost 80 dollars and more.An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year.Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper.[共5题](1)When did Valentine’s Day get its name?(A)More than 1,700 years ago before Valentine’s death.(B)More than 2,000 years ago.(C)On February 14.(D)It is not mentioned in the passage.你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A(2)According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about Roman holiday?(A)Girls put pieces of paper into a large container with their own names on them.(B)Boys and girls became sweet hearts by chance.(C)Girls and boys were not sweets for a year.(D)It was celebrated as a holiday for lovers.你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C(3)What can be inferred from the passage?(A)The ancient Roman girls were more open and easy-going than boys.(B)Valentine was executed for helping lovers.(C)Readers of USA Today can send roses to their lovers along with the printed message.(D)Valentine was honored by people for his firm Christian belief and warm heart.你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(4)How much does printing a love message cost?(A)A few dollars.(B)80 dollars, and more.(C)It depends.(D)Very expensive.你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C(5)The main purpose of this passage is__________.(A)to advertise for USA Today

45.For the rich and famous, porce American-style can cost millions in legal fees and drag on for years.Dissolving a marriage is emotionally draining, but does it have to be expensive and time-consuming as well? The average American porce can cost between 20000 for legal help, and an offer takes more than a year to finalize.“Point, Click and Split” – Christine and Andrew Brodigan of Seattle found a cheap and quick alternative – porce on line.“We are about to answer our last few questions for our porce,” Christine Brodigan said as she began the online process recently.“Divorce isn’t easy, but this sure made a huge difference in not having to deal with a lot of stuf f that normal people would have to go through.”

Using an online site, www.teniu.cc, the Brodingans were able to end their nine-year union with just a credit card and the click of a mouse.“Generally, these are people who are not going to see the inside of a lawyer’s office anyway,” said Randy Finney, a Seattle porce lawyer who is the founder and CEO of Completecase.com.“These are people who either can’t afford or don’t want to hire an attorney.”

二、主观题(共1道小题)41.Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic “My Favorite Means of Getting Inform ation”.You should write no less than 100 words.参考答案：

三、阅读理解、完形填空题(共5道小题)42.Most job seekers will not go through an interview process like “The Apprentice,” a reality TV show, but the fundamentals are universal: making a personal connection with the interviewer, demonstrating what qualities you will bring to the position, and setting yourself apart from the competition, hopefully in a positive way.By watching the program, job seekers can learn a lot about the dynamic between interviewer and interviewee.Hiring authorities can also learn ways to judge candidates.The following are some tips for job seekers.Don’t rely on generalities.When asked why you should be hired or not fired, back up statements with quantifiable evidence.When asked why they should be retained, Jessie and her other team members provided generalities about their leadership skills and characters, but none offered concrete examples of specific accomplishments.Dress for success.At first, the women in particular looked more like they were competing for positions with an escort service than with a major real estate company.However, they quickly came around, and learned that in order to be considered professional one has to dress in professional attire.Ask for the job.One of the biggest mistakes many job seekers make is ruining an otherwise successful interview by not actually asking for the job.It might seem unnecessary.After all, the job seeker would not have applied if he or she did not want the job.However, by asking for the job in the interview, the job seeker is sending a strong message to the employer that he or she is interested in the job and is enthusiastic about the opportunity.Take responsibility for your decisions.In a performance review and even in some job interviews, particularly for upper management positions, a candidate is often asked to explain or defend actions and decisions.The employer, before investing money in a new employee, wants to make sure that you recognize problems or failures and, most importantly, that you learn something that will make you a better employee and the company more profitable.When a project leader makes excuses or blames others on the team, it does not enhance the inpidual’s image and it does not tell the employer that anything was learned.[共5题](1)All the fundamental qualities are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _____ _.(A)showing the good qualities you will bring to the position(B)building a personal connection with the interviewer(C)talking persuasively to the interviewer

(D)making yourself different or better than other competitors 你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C(2)When asked why you should be hired, what kind of evidence should you provide?(A)Providing some general statements about your quality.(B)Saying you have good leadership.(C)Talking about your good characters.(D)Offering concrete examples of specific accomplishments.你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(3)When you are in an interview, you should wear _____ _.(A)clothes that you like most

(B)clothes that are new and expensive(C)clothes that are profession(D)clothes that are casual 你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C(4)If the job seeker asks for the job, it means all the following EXCEPT that _____ _.(A)he/she wants the job

(B)he/she is interested in the job(C)he/she cherishes the opportunity(D)he/she respects the interviewer 你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(5)Before investing money in a new employee, the employer wants to make sure that _____ _.(A)you know you can do a good job(B)you have good qualities

(C)you can learn something that will make you a better employee(D)you can make excuses 你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C 参考答案：

[第二单元];第5小题：C 细节题。根据文章最后一段make sure that you recognize problems or failures and, most importantly, that you learn something that will make you a better employee and the company more profitable.（花钱雇用一个新雇员之前，雇主要确定新雇员认识到了各种难题或挫折，更重要的是，要确定新雇员能通过学习使自己成为一个更好的雇员，使公司获得更多利润。），因此选C。

43.Not only does Nick A.Corcodilos, a famous headhunter, have a keen eye for tracking talent, but also he gives smart advices for job candidates.Here are his new principles for successful job hunting.Your résumé is meaningless.Headhunters know a résumé rarely gets you inside a company.All it does is outline yo

ur past-largely irrelevant since it doesn’t demonstrate that you can do the work the hiring manager needs done.Don’t get lost in HR.Headhunters try to get around the human-resources department whenever possible.“Most HR departments create an infrastructure that primarily involves processing paper,” Corcodilos says.“They package, organize, file and sort you.Then, if you haven’t gotten lost in the shuffle they might pass you on to a manager who actually knows what the work is all about.While the typical candidate is waiting to be interviewed by HR, the headhunter is on the phone, using a back channel to get to the hiring manager.” Do the same in your job search: apply directly to the person who will ultimately make the hire.The real matchmaking takes place before the interview.A headhunter sends a candidate into an interview only if he or she is clearly qualified for the position.In your own job hunt, make the same effort to ensure a good fit.Know the parameters of the job when you walk into the interview.Research the company, finding out about its culture, goals, and competitors.As you investigate a prospective employer, you’ll often find you and the company are not made for each other.“And that’s good,” Corcodilos says, “because when you do find the right fit, you’ll walk into an interview with confidence, having decided this is where you want to work.” So give yourself an attitude adjustment.If you convince yourself the manager wants to hire you, you’ll have a positive attitude at the interview, and your attitude might influence the manager to feel good about you.[共5题](1)Your résumé is largely irrelevant because _____ _.(A)you cannot write it well(B)you can only make an outline(C)the employer knows most of them

(D)it doesn’t demonstrate that you can do the work the employer needs done 你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(2)According to the passage, when you are job hunting, you should _____ _.(A)apply to the human-resources department

(B)apply directly to the person who will ultimately make the hire(C)apply to the headhunter

(D)wait for the chance to be interviewed by HR 你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B(3)In order to know the parameters of the job, you should _____ _.(A)research the company

(B)find out about its culture and goals(C)find out about your competitors(D)do all of the above 你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(4)What does the word “prospective” mean in the passage?(A)bright(B)potential(C)humorous(D)intelligent

你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B(5)According to the passage, how to give yourself an attitude adjustment?(A)By changing your attitude(B)By asking the HR department(C)By asking the headhunting company

(D)By convincing yourself the manager wants to hire you 你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D 参考答案：

[第二单元];第5小题：D 细节题。根据最后一段if you convince yourself the manager wants to hire you, you’ll have a positive attitude at the interview.（如果你确信那位经理想雇用你，你就会对面试抱积极的态度。），因此选D。

44.The smart job-seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths about interviewing before starting to pound the pavement looking for a job.What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer

Only half true.The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want.That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want!Incompetent job-seekers, however, become so used to accommodating employer’s expectations that they often easily qualify for jobs they don’t want.So, before you do back-flips for an employer, be sure you want the job.Myth 2: Always please the interviewer

Not true.Try to please yourself.Giving answers that you think will suit a potential employer, losing touch with your own feelings(in order to get in touch with some other person’s feelings)and, in general, practicing an awful policy of appeasement are certain to keep you from success and progress.Of course, don’t be hostile----nobody wants to hire someone hostile.But there is plainly a middle ground between being too ingratiating(逢迎的)and being hostile.An effective interview(whether you are offered the job or not)is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your neighbor on an airplane.Myth 3: Try to control the interview

Nobody “controls” an interview----neither you nor the interviewer----although one or both parties often try.When somebody tries to control us, we resent it.When we try to control somebody, they resent us.Remember, you can’t control what employers think of you, just as they can’t control what you think of them.So hang loose when interviewing;never dominate the interview.Myth 4: Don’t disagree with the interviewer

Another silly myth.If you don’t disagree at times, you become, in effect, a “yes” man or woman.Don’t be afraid to disagree with your interviewer----in a pleasant and pleasing way.And don’t hesitate to change your mind.The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer thinks, “There’s a person with an open mind!” Then conventional wisdom says “be yourself,” true enough.But how many people can be themselves if they don’t feel free to disagree? [共5题](1)The purpose of an interview is _____ _.(A)to obtain a job offer(B)to obtain a job you want

[第二单元];第5小题：A 主旨题。整篇文章都在谈关于面试中的几个普遍错误，以及如何正确看待面试和在面试中如何得当表现。因此选A。

45.The chief purpose of work is not to produce things but to build man.It is not so important what shape or form our work may take;what is vitally important is our attitude toward that work.Even if the particular duty is one which doesn’t seem worth doing, if you must do it, it is important to do it right.Even if no one else will ever know whether you did it right or not, you will know.By making a commitment to qual ity work, you make a commitment you can be.When you do as little as possible or just enough to get by, you are not merely cheating your employer, your customers, your clients, and your co-workers, but most importantly, you cheat yourself.You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to develop pride and self-worth.You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to meet a challenge and develop your inner powers and abilities.You may be able to get away with cheating others, but you never get away with cheating yourself.Thus, the key is a commitment to yourself to use every possible opportunity for self-development and treat every work assignment, no matter how small or boring, as a challenge that can be used in your development.Work is a projection of self.Consciousness can regard any job as a potential opportunity for self-expression, for play, for creativity, for the furtherance of social objectives, and it can arrange the factors in the job so that they form a means of self-expression.Most jobs contain at least some limited options for creativity.To the extent that any job can be done in different ways, the job presents you with an opportunity to project your unique abilities and values into that job.Any type of communication, written or spoken, presents a significant opportunity for creative expression.Even if your efforts are reviewed and must be toned down to fit into the mold of your organization, there is always a slight opening through which you can project your unique personality.Use these opportunities to express and confirm your existence.[共5题](1)The chief purpose of work is _____ _.(A)to produce things

三、阅读理解、完形填空题(共5道小题)42.The importance of breathing is obvious as we depend on taking in oxygen for our lives.As humans, we have to eli

minate the things our body is no longer using, and breathing takes care of 70% of this process.Other than eliminating the air from your lungs, after the oxygen has been absorbed, breathing also expels toxins from your body.You can also eliminate other things such as emotions or stress.By harnessing the immense power of breathing, you can create a better connection with your inner self.By becoming more aware of your breathing you will be able to reduce a lot of outside negativity.Focus your attention on your breath and tell your mind to think only about it.The rhythmical sensation your breath produces will help your mind, and your body, relax and slow down.Thinking is responsible for most of the tensions and stress we face, and this little exercise takes thinking into a harmonious and peaceful location.Many of our thoughts are negative.We often use or think about words like “won’t,” can’t or “shouldn’t.” These negative connotations reflect on the way we feel, increasing nervousness and stress.Your brain processes millions of thoughts on a daily basis and focusing it on your breath gives it a break.Temporarily lowering your mind’s activity gives you extra peace and helps relax both your brain and your body.Try to appreciate your breathing education as you would practice a sport.In order to reach a goal, you will need to improve and enhance certain skills.You can’t just be an Olympic athlete—you have to become one through hard work.This can be done by building up your strengths and stamina, as well as improving your physical abilities.Improving your breathing works exactly the same way.Your subconscious mind usually takes care of the breathing process, leaving your conscious mind to deal with other things.However, this is the time to take breathing matters into your own hands, and consciously control your breath while you exercise this technique.[共5题](1)Which of the following can show the importance of breathing?(A)We depend on breathing to take in oxygen for our lives.(B)Breathing can help us eliminate the things our body is no longer using.(C)Breathing can help us create a better connection with our inner self.(D)All of the above.你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(2)Focusing your attention on your breath can ________.(A)help you relax and slow down(B)help you face the tension and stress(C)let you be more negative(D)help you think more clearly 你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A(3)How can negative thoughts affect us?(A)They can make us think more negatively.(B)They can give us extra peace.(C)They can make us more nervous.(D)None of the above.你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C(4)In what way is the practice of breathing similar to sports?(A)Only by hard work can one be good at them.(B)They both need strength and stamina.(C)Both of them are under the control of consciousness.(D)It is the subconscious mind that takes care of their process.你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A(5)According to the passage, which of the following statement is NOT true?(A)Aside from eliminating the air and toxins, breathing can also eliminating emotions and stress.(B)Thinking rhythmically can take you to a harmonious and peaceful location.(C)Focusing your mind on your breath can release your burden temporarily.(D)To improve your breathing skills, you need practice.你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B 参考答案：

[第四单元];第5小题：B 细节题。根据文章的第二段this little exercise takes thinking into a harmonious and peaceful location.（这个小小的活动把思考带进了一种和谐宁静的状态。），其中“this little exercise”是指前文中提到的呼吸，因此选B，有节奏的思考能把你带进一种和谐宁静的状态。

43.Laughter has wonderful physiological benefits.Doctors call humor the inner treadmill as it has benefits similar to exercise.To name a few: Problem-solving ability is enhanced by laughter because it helps the brain to de-stress and do its work without distraction.Laughter also provides an important relief for those of us suffering from pain through the release of endorphins.In addition, laughter improves respiration, increases the number of immune cells, lowers blood pressure and decreases the likelihood of a second heart attack.Certainly, nothing to sneer at!

So how do you become a comedian especially if you are introverted, formal and more literal minded? What if there is just too much pain and sadness in your life and you do not see even a tiny opening for a little humor? Even during despair, there is potential for humor and here is my personal example.When my elderly aunt died at home at the age of 98, my cousin called me to the house to help make the arrangements;needless to say, no matter how old a family member is at death, there is still a feeling of deep loss, for she is someone’s mother and aunt.In short, my cousin was distraught.When I contacted the funeral parlor, the director asked all the necessary clerical questions including the age of my aunt.When I informed her that my aunt Molly was 98, she automatically responded, “Wow, God Bless.” To which I couldn’t help but respond, “But she’s dead.” My cousin lost it and burst into uproarious laughter as did the funeral director.We needed a little humor to alleviate the palpable sadness.[共5题](1)What are the functions of laughter?(A)Laughter can help the brain to de-stress and do its work without distraction.(B)Laughter can help us relieve the pain.(C)Laughter can lower blood pressure.(D)All of the above.你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(2)What does the word “introverted” mean in the second paragraph?(A)active(B)optimistic(C)quiet(D)cheerful

你选择的答案： C [正确]

正确答案：C(3)Which of the following statement is TRUE?(A)If you are introverted and formal you can not be a comedian.(B)When you suffer from pain and sadness you will not see even a tiny opening for a little humor.(C)Even if you are down, you can find something humorous.(D)None of the above.你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C(4)How will one feel when one of his family members dies at a very old age?(A)Sad(B)Happy(C)Distraught(D)Calm

你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A(5)The purpose of the passage is ________.(A)to tell us the benefits of laughter(B)to amuse us by telling a story

(C)to make us be aware of our potential for humor(D)to teach us how to be humorous 你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A 参考答案：

[第四单元];第5小题：A 主旨题。文中作者列举了笑声的诸多好处并以自己的亲身经历为例告诉读者笑的好处。因此选A，告诉我们笑的好处。

44.Mild stress is known to improve learning.A totally relaxed child will not be as receptive to new information as a child experiencing mild stress.It is also known that when the stress of working at a job is removed when elderly people retire they age more quickly unless new activities are substituted in their lives.It is thought that senility(衰老)occurs more frequently with inactivity than with continued activity.Much of the great art, inventions and discoveries has resulted from the stress of the creators.Would we have the Sistine Chapel(西斯行廷教堂)if Michelangelo had lived a quiet stressless life?

We must also admit that the bodily changes that occur under stress often lead to activities that could not be performed under normal circumstances.The 110-pound woman who lifts a one-ton automobile to release her child caught under the wheels could not ordinarily perform this feat;the bodily changes produced by the stress of the situation enable her to do this superhuman act.An athlete relies on the changes that occur under stress to help him run faster, tackle harder, and win the game.It appears that the amount of harmful stress any particular inpidual experiences depends upon how he views the stressful experience.If he sees it as threatening, it is a bad stress;but if he views it as a challenge, it can be a beneficial stress.Also, his personality type plays a significant role in the determination of whether the stress is good or bad.Certain types of people appear to need stress to make their lives exciting and meaningful-it keeps them young, alive, and functioning.Other types seem to need routine, quiet, and peaceful environment.Should you avoid stress or encourage it? The experts don’t have the answer.But all do agree that attitude is one

of the most important factors.A positive attitude can make stress your ally.A negative attitude will make stress your enemy.Perhaps the best course is to accept stress as inevitable, both good and bad, and to keep the stress that feels good and try to eliminate the stress that feels bad.You be your own expertA child with mild stress is ____________.(A)more receptive to new information than a totally relaxed child(B)less receptive to new information than a totally relaxed child(C)as receptive to new information as a totally relaxed child(D)more likely to do worse in their courses 你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A(2)Which of the statement is NOT true according to the passage?(A)When the stress of working is removed elderly people age more quickly.(B)People age much more quickly if they are active after retirement.(C)Without stress much of the great work would not come into being.(D)Stress keeps some people young, alive and lively.你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B(3)What made the 110-pound woman lift a one-ton automobile?(A)She always practices doing so.(B)Her superhuman power.(C)The bodily changes produced by the stress.(D)It is not mentioned in the passage.你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C(4)According to the text, whether a stress is harmful or not depends on____________.(A)how we view the stressful experience(B)whether it’s a threatening or challenge(C)one’s personality type(D)Both A)and C)你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(5)What is the right attitude should one adopt towards stress?(A)We should avoid harmful stress and encourage beneficial stress.(B)We should avoid any kinds of stress.(C)We should accept only beneficial stress.(D)We should accept both good and bad stress with a positive attitude.你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D 参考答案：

[第四单元];第5小题：D 主旨题。根据文章的第四段我们得知面对压力最重要的就是要有正确的态度，积极的态度可以使压力成为你的同盟，而消极的态度可能使压力成为你的敌人。最好的办法就是接受压力，不管是好还是坏，保持它好的一面，去除不好的地方。因此选D。45.An increasing number of scientists have found that what pleasure gives you may be more than just fun.Pleasure and humor might help us live longer and fight off illness.“Science has generally neglected pleasure and humor to concentrate on negative things like depression and illness,” said Dr.William Fry, a psychiatry(精神病学)professor at Stanford University Medical Center in California.“But there’s a growing realization of just how powerful pleasure is.”

For example, research shows that smiling and laughing can actually strengthen your immune system, reduce stress and physical pain, and even help cancer-patients.One research project at Loma Linda University showed these beneficial effects of laughter on the body.In the study, ten medical students were connected with several machines and spent an hour watching a funny videotape of a man smashing watermelons with a hammer.Researchers were not trying to prove that smashing watermelons was a funny thing to do.They already knew that the volunteers would probably laugh very loudly.What the researchers wanted to find out was how laughing affected the volunteers as they watched the video.The researchers were delighted to discover that small but important changes were taking place in the volunteers’ blood streams as they roared(咆哮)with laughter.Their blood showed increased production of white blood cells.At the same time, a decrease was noticed in the levels of chemicals that stop the immune system from working properly.Studies such as this seem to show that you should laugh as much as possible!You will increase your chances of living a long, healthy life.That’s what one researcher means when he says, “He who laughs, lasts.For years we’ve thought that laughter and other forms of pleasure were good for you.Now it’s a physiological reality.”

[共5题](1)Which of the following would Dr.William probably agree with?(A)The depression and illness increase the production of white blood cells.(B)Science has paid little attention to the powerful effects of pleasure.(C)The levels of chemicals can stop the immune system from working properly.(D)The decrease of white blood cells can defend us against illness.你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B(2)Laughing has some positive physical effects.Which of these is NOT mentioned in the text?(A)They might increase our life span.(B)They might help us get rid of disease.(C)They might strengthen our immune system.(D)They might lead to depression.你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(3)What the researchers wanted to find out in the study is___________.(A)the reason why the volunteers burst into laughter(B)the man in the video is indeed a funny person(C)how chemicals stop immune system

(D)how laughing influenced the volunteers when they watched the video.你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D(4)What did the researchers discover in the research project?(A)Laughter had no effect on the body.(B)Laughter had a negative effect on the body.(C)Laughter had a positive effect on the body.(D)Laughter can cause big changes on our body.你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C(5)In the text, the author is focusing on___________.(A)the important features of laughing(B)the beneficial effects of laughing(C)the powerful force of laughing(D)the negative parts of laughing 你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B 参考答案：
