Dear Tom，
I’m glad to introduce Charlie Chaplin，a British actor，film-maker and composer who rose to fame in the 1910s during the silent film era．His most famous character was“the Tramp”—a poor but kind-hearted man whose clumsy walk and expressive facial gestures never failed to make audiences laugh．
My favorite film of his is Modern Times，especially the factory scene where he struggles to keep up with work while a bee circles him．
Chaplin's genius in combining humor with deep storytelling makes him a timeless legend．Hope you'll enjoy his films too!

Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
Do you want to live a happier，less stressful life Try laughing for no reason at all．That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world—and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy．
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai，India，in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria．“Young children laugh about 300 times a day．Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day，”says Dr Kataria．“Everyone's naturally good at laughing—it's the universal language．We want people to feel happy with their lives．”There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1，300 worldwide．
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health．According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California，with laughing there is less stress in the body．Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%．
So，what happens at a Laughter Club I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out．I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class，to be honest—I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers，and I was worried about looking stupid．Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say“ho ho ho，ha ha ha”while looking at each other．However，our bodies can't tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter，so they still produce the same healthy effects．
Surprisingly，it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real—and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt．So if you're under stress，then start laughing．You might be very pleased with the results!
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。如果你感到生活中有压力，可以加入“笑声俱乐部”，因为笑可以缓解压力，对身体健康也有好处。
√
1．In which country was the first Laughter Club started
A．Britain． B．America．
C．Australia． D．India．
D [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai，India...”可知。]

A．Surprised． B．Pleased．
C．Nervous． D．Stressful．
√
C [细节理解题。根据第四段第三句“I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class...”可知。]

C．After a few seconds． D．After a few days．
√
A [细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real...”可知答案为A。]
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health．
B．40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends．
C．Adults laugh more often than children in a day．
D．Laughing is the best way to prevent illness．
√
A [推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可判断A项正确。]
B
We have seen that humour and laughter positively influence our body in many ways，but little research has been done on whether a better sense of humour actually helps keep you from getting sick．However，since people with a better sense of humour have higher IgA levels，and since research has shown that those with higher levels of salivary (唾液的) IgA are less likely to get colds or be infected with streptococcus (链球菌)，humour should reduce the frequency of colds．
The only study to directly examine this question found that the impact of one's sense of humour upon colds depends on the kind of sense of humour you have．It was only individuals whose sense of humour took the form of seeking out and appreciating humour who had fewer and less severe colds/flu than their low humour counterparts．Surprisingly，those whose sense of humour took the form of initiating humour more often did not have fewer or less severe colds/flu．The researchers argued that being a person who likes to tell jokes or otherwise initiate humour takes them into more frequent contact with other people，which serves to expose them to infectious agents more often，robbing them of the advantage that a more active sense of humour otherwise offers．Obviously，more research is required to clear up this confusing picture．
The importance of active use of one's sense of humour in producing humour's health benefits was confirmed in another study in an unusual way．It found that among a group of mothers with newborn infants，those who actively used humour to cope with the stress in their lives had fewer upper respiratory infections and their infants also had fewer infections．This seemed to be because these mothers had higher levels of immunoglobulin A (免疫球蛋白A) in their breast milk．
Among adults，if we look at bodily symptoms alone，independent of any diagnosed illness，there is some evidence that individuals who have more negative reactions to humour report more bodily symptoms and complaints．Students complaining of cardiovascular(心血管的) symptoms and gastroenterological(肠胃病的) symptoms also have been shown to have this more negative reaction to humour．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了良好的幽默感能够使人减少得病的概率。
5．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．People with a good sense of humour get sick less often．
B．Humour can reduce the frequency of colds/flu．
C．Any form of humour can prevent people from getting sick．
D．Humour can treat illness．
√
A [主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了良好的幽默感能够使人减少得病的概率。]
6．According to the passage，IgA is ________．
A．a medicine B．an enzyme (酶)
C．a factor D．a measure
√
B [推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可知，唾液中的IgA含量高就会使人少生病，由此推断，IgA应是一种可以抵抗疾病的酶。]
7．Why do newborn infants whose mothers use humour to deal with stress have fewer infections
A．Because they don't often get upper respiratory infections．
B．Because they are stronger since they were born．
C．Possibly because of the higher levels of immunoglobulin A in their mothers'breast milk．
D．Because their mothers take better care of them．
√
C [细节理解题。第三段最后一句“This seemed to be because these mothers had higher levels of immunoglobulin A in their breast milk．”说明了原因。]
8．Students with some bad bodily symptoms show ________ towards humour．
A．a positive attitude B．a negative attitude
C．a neutral attitude D．an unclear attitude
√
B [细节理解题。文章最后一段告诉我们对待幽默的消极反应会体现在身体上，比如肠胃不适等。因此有不好的身体症状的学生对待幽默的态度是消极的。]

Why Do We Need Humour
Good morning，everyone．The title of my speech today is“Why Do We Need Humour？”
I guess all of us enjoy watching a comedy film or hearing a good joke．Humour is what plays the magic．According to recent research，humour has both physical and psychological effects．It helps us relieve our stress and anxiety，relax our whole body and give us a great sense of
well-being．Also，it helps us to develop better and stronger relationships．Personally，I've become happier and got closer to my friends since I tried to add a little humour when talking with people around．And I've become more optimistic to face the challenges in life．
I hope you'll all benefit from humour in your lives too．Thank you!
Ⅲ．读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Emily is a sixth-grade student in a small American town．She is a curious and adventurous girl who always dreams of exploring new places．Last summer，her dream came true when she got selected for a student exchange program to visit China．Emily was super excited，but she knew that going to a different country with a brand new culture might not be easy．When she arrived in China，she had an open heart and lots of hope，but the cultural differences，the language barrier，and the unfamiliar surroundings made her feel a bit overwhelmed．
On her first day at a Chinese school，she felt like she was in a completely different world．The students spoke a language she couldn't understand，and the way things worked in the classroom was very different from back home．During lunchtime，poor Emily sat all by herself in a corner of the cafeteria，feeling lost and lonely．Just then，a friendly Chinese girl came up to her with a warm smile and said，“Hello，my name is Li Shanshan．I noticed you're new here．Would you like to be our friend？”
Emily was so relieved and thankful for the friendly offer．“Thank you，”she replied with a big smile．“I'm Emily，and I'm really happy to meet you．”
Shanshan introduced Emily to her group of friends，and they all welcomed her with open arms．They helped Emily with her Chinese language，taught her about Chinese customs，and shared their favorite Chinese foods．Slowly but surely，Emily started to feel more comfortable and understand Chinese culture better．
One day，as the English teacher was planning her class schedule，she came up with an idea．She decided to assign each student in the class to do a presentation about their hometowns the next week．She believed this could be a great way for the students to learn about different cultures and improve their public speaking skills．

Do you want to live a happier，less stressful life Try laughing for no reason at all．That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world—and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy．
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai，India，in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria．“Young children laugh about 300 times a day．Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day，”says Dr Kataria．“Everyone's naturally good at laughing—it's the universal language．We want people to feel happy with their lives．”There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1，300 worldwide．
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health．According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California，with laughing there is less stress in the body．Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So，what happens at a Laughter Club I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out．I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class，to be honest—I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers，and I was worried about looking stupid．Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say“ho ho ho，ha ha ha”while looking at each other．However，our bodies can't tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter，so they still produce the same healthy effects．
Surprisingly，it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real—and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt．So if you're under stress，then start laughing．You might be very pleased with the results！
1．In which country was the first Laughter Club started？
A．Britain． B．America．
C．Australia． D．India．
2．How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class？
A．Surprised． B．Pleased．
C．Nervous． D．Stressful．
3．When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real？
A．After a few minutes． B．After a few hours．
C．After a few seconds． D．After a few days．
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A．Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health．
B．40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends．
C．Adults laugh more often than children in a day．
D．Laughing is the best way to prevent illness．

We have seen that humour and laughter positively influence our body in many ways，but little research has been done on whether a better sense of humour actually helps keep you from getting sick．However，since people with a better sense of humour have higher IgA levels，and since research has shown that those with higher levels of salivary (唾液的) IgA are less likely to get colds or be infected with streptococcus(链球菌)，humour should reduce the frequency of colds．
The only study to directly examine this question found that the impact of one's sense of humour upon colds depends on the kind of sense of humour you have．It was only individuals whose sense of humour took the form of seeking out and appreciating humour who had fewer and less severe colds/flu than their low humour counterparts．Surprisingly，those whose sense of humour took the form of initiating humour more often did not have fewer or less severe colds/flu．The researchers argued that being a person who likes to tell jokes or otherwise initiate humour takes them into more frequent contact with other people，which serves to expose them to infectious agents more often，robbing them of the advantage that a more active sense of humour otherwise offers．Obviously，more research is required to clear up this confusing picture．
The importance of active use of one's sense of humour in producing humour's health benefits was confirmed in another study in an unusual way．It found that among a group of mothers with newborn infants，those who actively used humour to cope with the stress in their lives had fewer upper respiratory infections and their infants also had fewer infections．This seemed to be because these mothers had higher levels of immunoglobulin A(免疫球蛋白A) in their breast milk．
Among adults，if we look at bodily symptoms alone，independent of any diagnosed illness，there is some evidence that individuals who have more negative reactions to humour report more bodily symptoms and complaints．Students complaining of cardiovascular(心血管的) symptoms and gastroenterological(肠胃病的) symptoms also have been shown to have this more negative reaction to humour．
5．What does the passage mainly talk about？
A．People with a good sense of humour get sick less often．
B．Humour can reduce the frequency of colds/flu．
C．Any form of humour can prevent people from getting sick．
D．Humour can treat illness．
6．According to the passage，IgA is ________．
A．a medicine B．an enzyme(酶)
C．a factor D．a measure
7．Why do newborn infants whose mothers use humour to deal with stress have fewer infections？
A．Because they don't often get upper respiratory infections．
B．Because they are stronger since they were born．
C．Possibly because of the higher levels of immunoglobulin A in their mothers' breast milk．
D．Because their mothers take better care of them．
8．Students with some bad bodily symptoms show ________ towards humour．
A．a positive attitude B．a negative attitude
C．a neutral attitude D．an unclear attitude
