2011年考研英语真题:完形填空详解
2011考研英语真题:完型填空详解题目的文章来自于 2009年4月号Scientific American, 作者 Steve Ayan, 原文题目为How Humor Makes You Friendlier, Sexier:幽默如何使你更加有人缘且性感Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle viewed laughter as "a bodily exercise precious to health。
" But 1 despite some claims to the contrary, chuckling probably has little influence on physical fitness. Laughter does 2 produce short-term changes in cardiovascular function and respiration, 3 boosting heart rate, respiratory rate and depth, as well as oxygen consumption. But because hard laughter is difficult to 4 sustain, a good guffaw is unlikely to have 5 measurable cardiovascular benefits the way, say, walking or jogging does。
6 In fact, instead of straining muscles to build them, as exercise does, laughter apparently accomplishes the7 opposite. Studies dating back to the 1930s indicate that laughter8 relaxes muscles, decreasing muscle tone for up to 45 minutes after the guffaw subsides。
