There is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine”. Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people's health.21教育网
Tests were carried out to study the effects 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 effects 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.21·世纪*教育网
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body.In one experiment, doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter reduces pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.www-2-1-cnjy-com

Ma Sanli was born in Beijing in 1914.Before 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded, Ma Sanli gave performances at markets, shopping centers and theaters in Beijing and Tianjin. His name spread quickly because of his unique style. Later, he joined the Tianjin Opera Troupe in 1953.
In 1994, he was appointed a special researcher at the China Academy of Arts. Ma Sanli created more than 200 traditional crosstalk performances.
Ma Sanli's performances are full of the feelings of ordinary people. In both his crosstalk and solo (单口的) comic performances, his performing style uses mild but popular local language. Although he displays a style of coolheaded humour, he is very warmhearted.He enjoys the reputation(名誉) of being an artist of the ordinary people.
The crosstalk artist was particularly good at solo comic dialogues. They are unique in that they always have a social meaning.
Nearly all solo comic dialogues performed by Ma Sanli underline profound meanings through small stories.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
On December 8th，2001, Ma Sanli held his farewell performance in Tianjin. It attracted more than 4500 fans from all parts of China. At that time, he was 88 and had performed crosstalk for 80 years. When he entered the stadium, there was thundering applause.
The audience jumped to its feet to pay its respect and appreciation to the crosstalk performer. Ma Sanli waved back.
After the performance, the headquarters of Shanghai Guinness presented a certificate to him for being devoted the longest to crosstalk.
In addition to being an excellent crosstalker himself, Ma Sanli also trained lots of topclass crosstalkers in China. All are big names in China.
On February 11, 2003, this respectable crosstalk master passed away at the age of 90.It was a great loss to China.

We will always remember this respected and beloved crosstalker, a true artist of the masses.

Ⅳ.阅读简答
Laughter is one of my alltime favorite stress management strategies because it's free, convenient, and beneficial in so many ways. You can get more laughter in your life with the following strategies：2-1-c-n-j-y
·TV and Movies：There's no shortage of laughter opportunities from the entertainment, both at the theater and the video stores, as well as at home with TV comedies. Watching truly funny movies and shows is an easy way to get laughter into your life whenever you need it.
·Laugh With Friends：Going to a movie or comedy club with friends is a great way to get more laughter in your life. The spreading effects of laughter may mean you'll laugh more than you otherwise would have during the show, plus you'll have jokes to reference at later times. Having friends over for a party or game night is also a great setup for laughter and other good feelings.
·Find Humor In Your Life：Instead of complaining about life's feedbacks, try to laugh about them. If something is so depressing or it's stupid, realize that you could ‘look back on it and laugh’. Think of how it will sound as a story you could tell to your friends, and then see if you can laugh about it now. With this attitude, you may also find yourself being more lighthearted and silly, giving yourself and those around you more to laugh about. Approach life in a more pleasant way and you'll find you're less stressed about negative events, and you'll achieve the health benefits of laughter.21教育名师原创作品
·‘Fake It Until You Make It’：Just as studies show the positive effects of smiling occur whether the smile is fake or real, faked laughter also provides the benefits mentioned above. The body can't distinguish between ‘fake’laughter that you just start doing on purpose, and ‘real’laughter that comes from true humor — the physical benefits are exactly the same, and the former usually leads to the latter anyway.So smile more and fake laughter, you'll still achieve positive effects, and the fake merriment may lead to real smiles and laughter.

Crosstalk, a traditional form of comic storytelling, is making a comeback in China's tea houses and theaters.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Audiences can laugh the night away every Saturday at the Qianxiangyi Teahouse in Tianjin, entertained by the apprentices (学徒) of Hou Baolin, Ma Sanli or Yin Shoushan — all leading crosstalk artists of years past — for only 20 yuan ($2.40)．21*cnjy*com
The success in Tianjin has also caused the rejuvenation (复活) of crosstalk in Beijing and other places.
Although the art form originated in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty (1644～1911), Tianjin became a place where rising stars formed their styles and new pieces were tried out. The city was wellknown nationwide for the quality of its crosstalk performances.
Known in Chinese as xiangsheng (literally, “face and voice”), crosstalk was the predominant (支配的) form of comedy throughout most of the 20th century. In the old days in Tianjin and elsewhere, temple fairs and markets were the main places for crosstalkers to perform, although they occasionally also appeared in teahouses or theaters.
Crosstalk pieces draw on every aspect of Chinese culture, from history and folk tales to social issues of the time. Although there're hundreds of traditional pieces, they're constantly rewritten to suit the times and the audience, while new works are written as well. It's one of the features that have made crosstalk a public art form throughout its history.
“Crosstalk was in the doldrums (萎靡不振) with competition from other art forms, especially TV，” said Wang Xiaochun, headmaster of the Northern Storytelling Arts School of China (NSAS)．“But it has regained its status with crosstalk fans, especially young people, growing aware of its rare qualities.”
“More and more students are coming to NSAS to study crosstalk, including some girl students，”said Wang, “They're sure that crosstalk will have a strong market.”

I was born in Korea, and my family came over to America when I was 10. I'm the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we'd experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents were disappointed when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed (医学院预科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud.
I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries (电视连续短剧)．We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up.Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “I'll do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.
Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she's the queen of romantic comedy. I became famous in Korea for a dramatic role in a film called Shiri. I played a “La Femme Nikita” type of role. I was the girl with the gun — all action.
语篇解读：本文作者享有盛名，被誉为韩国的Julia Roberts，她有着自己的表演风格。
1．The writer's parents moved to America so as to ________．
A．film a Korean miniseries
B．seek a good life in America
C．offer a good chance to their children
D．receive a good education in performing
解析：选C。细节理解题。由第一段中They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had可知，她父母来美国就是为了给孩子们更多的机会。
2．When the writer announced her decision to become an actress, the parents ______．
A．took it for granted
B．didn't agree at once
C．felt very proud of her
D．were both in favor of her
解析：选B。细节理解题。由第一段中的My parents were disappointed ... My father suggested I try premed可知，父母当时并没有同意，而是建议作者先去读医学院预科。
3．The second paragraph is mainly about ________．
A．the performing life in Korea
B．the sevenyear filming abroad
C．the popularity of miniseries Lost
D．the first performing breakthrough
解析：选D。主旨大意题。第二段着重介绍了作者的第一部成名电视连续短剧，之后片约不断，这应该是作者在表演上的首次重大突破。
4．The writer referred to the Julia Roberts of Korea as a bad comparison to show ________．
A．she looked down upon Julia Roberts
B．she disliked to be compared with others
C．she had a different style of performing
D．she was better at dramatic performing than Julia
解析：选C。推理判断题。由最后一段可知，作者认为把她比作是韩国的Julia Roberts是不对的，因为在她看来，Julia是浪漫喜剧皇后，而自己则是以动作片成名的，故应属于两种不同的风格。
5．In what play did the writer become famous?
A．An action play. B．A romantic play.
C．A love play. D．A fantasy play.
解析：选A。细节理解题。由文章的最后一句I was the girl with the gun — all action可知，作者是以枪战动作片在韩国出名的，故选A。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】

Dear Josh，
Now, I'm busy studying for the College Entrance Examination in June and I'm confident of being admitted by an ideal university.21世纪教育网版权所有
As this summer holiday is long, for three months, I have some plans. In my imagination, college life must be plentiful but reading is the most important thing. So I'd like to read a lot of books. Reading can help me get a good habit when I become a freshman. Once I get into the college, I must do the things for myself, including washing and clearing the room. So I'll help my parents do some housework during the holiday. However, reading and housework don't mean all of my holiday. I need contact with my friends and communicate with them. As we all know, true friendship is worth more than money. In addition, sports and exercise will be another part of my holiday, for the body is the capital of the revolution.21教育网
I hope that you'll come to China for a visit. My hometown is a beautiful place with a long history, which attracts a large number of visitors. Welcome to come here to experience traditional Chinese culture.21cnjy.com
Yours，
Li Hua

Ⅱ.单项填空
1．You should understand the traffic rule by now. You've had it ________ often enough.
A．explaining B．to explain
C．explain D．explained
解析：选D。考查分词作补语。宾语it 与explain 是被动关系，用过去分词作宾补，have sth. done 意为“请人做某事”。www-2-1-cnjy-com
2．It's necessary to be prepared for a job interview._ _______ the answers ready will be of great help.21*cnjy*com
A．To have had B．Having had
C．Have D．Having
解析：选D。考查动名词作主语。句意：工作面试前做好准备是必要的。准备好答案很有帮助。动名词短语“having the answers ready”作主语。动词不定式也可以作主语，但显然这儿不可用完成形式。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
3．—I am sorry, but I have a very important meeting ________ this afternoon.
—It doesn't matter. Next time is also OK.
A．to be attended B．to attend
C．attending D．having attended
解析：选B。考查不定式作定语。句意：“抱歉，我今天下午有一个很重要的会要参加。”“没关系。下次也行。”因主句主语和不定式是主谓关系，故此处应用不定式的主动形式表被动。21世纪教育网版权所有
4．The stranger you saw ________ with a big travellingbag stayed in Room 104 yesterday.
A．to come in B．come in
C．has come in D．who came in
解析：选B。分析句子结构可知，the stranger 是先行词，you saw 是定语从句，中间省略了关系代词that/who/whom，关系代词在定语从句中作动词see的宾语，因此后面要跟不定式作宾语补足语；因为see为感官动词，故跟不带to的不定式。故正确答案是B项。
5．When I came in, I found him ________ on a chair, with his hands ________ back.
A．sat; tied B．seating; tying
C．seated; tied D．sitting; tying
解析：选C。考查非谓语动词作宾补。句意：当我进来的时候，我发现他坐在椅子上，手被捆在后面。第一个空可以用seated表状态，也可用sitting表动作；第二个空tie和hands之间是动宾关系，应用过去分词。21cnjy.com
6．He managed to make himself ________ with his ________ English.
A．understand; breaking
B．understand; broken
C．understood; breaking
D．understood; broken
解析：选D。句意：他成功地用他蹩脚的英语让人们明白了他的意思。himself和understand之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补；broken“蹩脚的，不流利的”。
7．Mistakes in ________ public notices can be seen here and there.www.21-cn-jy.com
A．being translated B．translating
C．having translated D． translated
解析：选D。考查分词作定语。句意要表达的是“被翻译出来的公共通知”，notice是translate动作的承受者，而且该动作应该已经完成，故要用过去分词表示被动和完成，答案为D项。2·1·c·n·j·y
8．It was reported that the missing boys were last seen ________ near the river.
A．playing B．played
C．play D．to play
解析：选A。考查非谓语动词作补语。由于题干谓语动词用的是被动语态，因此待选项在句子中作主语补足语，可以排除C项；又由于从句的主语是play动作的执行者，可以排除B项；A和D项的区别是：前者强调看到的是play的片段，而后者强调看的是play的全过程。根据句意可知，最后没有人看到那些男孩玩过之后又去了哪里，因此看到的只能是片段，正确答案为A项。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
9．When the village was flooded, the last man ________ the house was the village head.
A．left B．to leave
C．leaving D．being left
解析：选B。考查不定式作后置定语。当中心词被the first, the second, the last ...修饰时，后面用不定式作定语。它们之间是主动关系，故选B。21·cn·jy·com
10．Henry can't attend the party ________ at Tom's house at present because he is preparing tomorrow's presentation.21·世纪*教育网
A．hold B．to hold
C．to be held D．being held
解析：选D。考查分词作定语。根据题干中的时间状语at present 可知，hold 这个动作正在进行，而且中心词the party是hold 动作的承受者，因此要用现在分词的被动式作后置定语，正确答案为D项。2-1-c-n-j-y

Expecting good things can make you healthier and might even lengthen your life, says researcher Suzanne Segerstrom, PhD, author of Breaking Murphy's Law. Segerstrom is coauthor of a recent review of studies on the benefits of a positive attitude — and has experienced them herself. We asked her about optimism's principles and payoffs.www-2-1-cnjy-com
(1)Feeling well helps when you're not well.
“When researchers look at people who have similar medical conditions, they can predict who's likely to live longer: the one who feels his health is better. There's something about that feeling of wellness that's important, even — maybe especially — if you're ill. Optimism also seems to help buffer (保护) you against stress. I've been studying firstyear law students for 16 years. That's a very stressed group, but in my most recent study, each time a student's optimism increased one point on a fivepoint scale, his immune response to an injected virus or yeast improved by 20 percent. ”
(2)Optimism is something you do.
“Anxiety and other negative emotions are known to be detrimental to the body, especially to your cardiovascular and immune systems (心血管和免疫系统), and having an optimistic nature seems to protect against those effects.
In addition, research shows that people who are optimistic about their future behave differently. They exercise more, are less likely to smoke, and follow a better diet. And if they get sick, they're more likely to actively participate in their treatment. I've seen that myself — I have back pain from arthritis, but I think my willingness to do whatever it takes has helped a lot.”
(3)Not happy？Don't worry.
“Happiness is a feeling; optimism is a belief that aspects of your future will turn out well. Happiness can fluctuate (波动) a lot, but an optimistic disposition (性格)is usually pretty stable. If you're not optimistic, you can try creating a ‘positive events’ log. Good things happen to everyone, but pessimists often don't take notice; spending a few minutes every day writing about at least three positive things may help you expect them more often. Or instead of trying to be optimistic, do what optimists do：Work hard to reach your goals. Each accomplishment should make it easier to be hopeful about the next one.”【出处：21教育名师】
语篇解读：该文主要介绍了一个最新研究结果，即积极的人生态度对健康有益，甚至可以延年益寿。
1．The main finding of the study done by Suzanne Segerstrom is that ________．
A．people will benefit from their positive attitudes towards life
B．anyone who feels his health is better lives longer
C．people who are optimistic about their future behave differently
D．happiness usually results in a bright future
解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，该项研究的主要发现是积极的人生态度会使人更健康，换言之，人们会从这种积极的人生态度中受益。
2．What conclusion did Suzanne Segerstrom draw from her studies on her firstyear law students?
A．The better medical care they enjoy, the longer they will live.
B．The younger they are, the stronger they will be.
C．The more optimistic they are, the less likely they will get ill.
D．The better they feel, the more rapidly they will recover from illness.
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据“Feeling well helps when you're not well”部分中的最后一句可知，随着学生乐观程度的增加，他们对抗病毒的免疫力也随之增加，因此结论应是：他们越乐观，生病的可能性就越小。
3．We learn from the passage that optimistic people ________．
A．are easy to give up smoking
B．are willing to do whatever they are asked
C．take an active part in all aspects
D．tend to have a better lifestyle
解析：选D。细节理解题。根据“Optimism is something you do”部分中的“They exercise more, are less likely to smoke, and follow a better diet.”可知，乐观的人往往有一个更好的生活方式。
4．What are you advised to do according to the passage?
A．Take exercise as much as you can.
B．Keep a daily note of positive things.
C．Work hard and play hard.
D．Make your goals easy to reach.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据“Not happy? Don't worry”部分中的“spending a few minutes every day writing about at least three positive things may help you expect them more often.”可知，应选择B。21教育网

Life is what we make of it. How can we make our life better? Through focus — focusing on one thing and getting it done. Learning to focus can help us in many ways. It can help us realize what we really want in life. It can help us make good decisions. It can also help us accept ourselves just the way we are. Focus can help us gain power and happiness.
Focus, or concentration, is a skill that can be taught, so there are some exercises you can do to improve your focus. Start with easy exercises like staring at a picture on the wall for a few minutes without moving or talking to anyone. Once you learn how to block out your surroundings, your focus will improve.
Learn to manage your pressure. Many athletes require intense focus in their training and games. They try to spare some time to calm themselves down. It isn't enough to just practice your shots because when game time comes, the stress and tension can make one miss a shot. This is when focus comes into play.
Another mind exercise you can do is picturing yourself in a desired situation, and then you work around your picture. Actors do this a lot to block out laughter or noise. An example of this would be to imagine yourself in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert. Try to play out the scene in your mind what you would do if different things are to happen. This can actually be a lot of fun, and you learn how to improve your focus by concentrating on one thing only.
If this sounds a little strange to you, you could try another strategy. Why not make lists？Make a list of the things you need to accomplish. Study your lists carefully and see where you can move things around. Planning helps you focus. It will also not stress you out.
A better way to improve your focus is to take breaks. Don't spend it with your coworkers beside the coffee machine talking about problems in the office. Doing this will actually cause your stress and cause you to lose focus on the things that need to be done. Your breaks should be as quiet as possible. Read a book or take a walk. Go and do something that will give your brain a rest.
The reason why we lose focus so easily is because we have too much on our minds. Of course, it could also because you are bored with nothing to do. A good balance between a too relaxed brain and a too active brain is necessary. Find your ability to work, and try not to waste your time. Improving your focus also means knowing what you can do and being confident about doing it well.
Title: Improving your focus
(1)________ of learning to focus
It can help us realize what we really want in life, make good decisions, hold positive (2)________ towards ourselves, and gain power and happiness.

Almost a third of children regularly go without breakfast before school and are more likely than classmates to be inactive, unfit and obese(肥胖), research shows.21cnjy.com
While 68% of pupils eat before leaving home, 32% do not. Of the latter, 25% only sometimes have a morning meal and 7% never have breakfast on school days, according to findings which have raised fresh concern about children's eating habits and general health.
The study of 4，326 children, aged 1016, in England was reported that 26.6% of boys and 38.6% of girls skipped breakfast some or all of the time. Boys often blame lack of time, while many girls missed breakfast because they believe doing so would help them lose weight.
“We found that children who skip breakfast either occasionally or regularly are less fit, less active and more likely to be overweight or obese than those who always eat breakfast，” said lead author Dr Gavin Sandercock, a professor at the University of Essex.“Children with the healthiest weight were always those who regularly had breakfast before heading to school.”
“These findings are worrying because we found more obesity and lower levels of physical activity among skippers, which is of great concern because these children are more likely to develop chronic (慢性的) disease in adulthood like cancer, heart disease and diabetes，” added Sandercock.
While girls who skipped breakfast are 92% more likely to become obese than female classmates who regularly eat before school, the equivalent figure in boys was 62%.But the boys were much more likely than female ones to have a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle and, critically, have poor heart and lung fitness, said Sandercock.
Until now it has been thought that children who missed breakfast were more likely to be obese because they snacked during the day and ate late at night.But the study suggests that their inactive lifestyles may also play a key role.

D．The boy skippers are more likely to become aggressive.21*cnjy*com

5．Besides snacking, another factor that accounts for children's weight problem is that ________．
A．they are fond of sleeping
B．they are active after class
C．they sleep too late at night

Failure in a relationship, business, career and exam or sudden loss of a close one can make us lose patience and calmness. However, the only person who can help you keep calm is yourself! You have to find the cause of your problem and then work on it. Here are some tips on how to be calm.
Steal some solitary (独自的) moments from your life！Go to a calm and cool place, maybe your local park, a lessvisited restaurant or any place that can give you some peaceful moments with yourself. Simply sitting on cool green grass under the limitless sky can make you feel relaxed. If you can't find any place, it's also a good idea to dim (使暗淡)your drawing room light and sit relaxed on your sofa.
Talk to the “inner you”！ Open your mind, effortlessly, without a calculating and judging mind! Don't let yourself be troubled by any belief or thought. It's not so simple. But if you just do so, you'll slowly develop an inner peace. Of course, this doesn't mean that you'll stop the daily work linked to thinking! Carry your life as you've been, but just sometimes, sit and order your mind to relax.
Learn to manage anger! Avoid the things that cause so much stress that leads to uncontrollable anger.
