Ⅲ.阅读理解 In the early 1990s, Madan Kataria, an Indian doctor who worked in Mumbai, became interested in the growing body of scientific evidence showing that laughter is extremely beneficial to human health. He made a decision that more laughter was needed to improve health and deal with the stress of modern living.
In 1995, while writing an article for a health journal, Dr. Kataria discovered many modern scientific studies describing the benefits of laughter on the human mind and body. In particular, he was impressed by Norman Cousins' book Anatomy of an Illness and the research work by Dr. Lee Berk. Then he began to fieldtest the effect of laughter on himself and others. Starting with just five people, on March 13, 1995, at a public park in his neighborhood, Dr. Kataria started the first laughter club. They laughed together in the park to the amusement of bystanders, and the small group quickly grew to more than 50 people within a few days. In the early meetings, they stood in a circle with one person in the center to tell a joke or a funny story. Everybody enjoyed themselves and felt good for the rest of the day. However, after two weeks, their jokes and stories ran out. Some complained that it would be better to discontinue the club than to continue without any jokes. Dr. Kataria asked the club members to give him one day to develop a breakthrough that would solve the problem. That night, Dr. Kataria reviewed his research and finally found the answer. Our body cannot differentiate between pretend and genuine laughter. In fact, both produced the same effect. The next morning, the results were amazing. For some, the makebelieve laughter quickly turned into real laughter. Soon the group was laughing like never before. The hearty laughter that followed lasted for almost ten minutes. This was the birth of Laughter Yoga. 语篇解读：本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了大笑瑜伽的起源。 1．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Madan Kataria .

Try living with yo ur eyes closed for a few years.Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who ca n see，a new study says，without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much bett er.Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds th at are close by. Researchers from the of wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away .Twenty－three blind people participated in the study. All had been sight less for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them had lost their visio n before age 11，the rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blind－folds.In one task，volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from a bout 3 metres away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front，both groups performed equally well.When sounds came from the side or the back，however，the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded gr oup. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later. Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter o f life－or－death for blind people，say the researchers. Crossing the street，for instance，is much harder when you can't see the cars coming.Still，the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did，especially those who went blind after age 16. In another exper iment，the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally d eal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. These brain parts didn't show sound－location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sig hted people. The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of “late－onset” blind people.36. The recent study shows blind people are better at telling _ _______．A. the sources of loud sounds.B. the locations of distant sou ndsC. the direction of sharp soundsD. the distance of a sound in front of them37. Which would be a proper title for the passage?A. A Research on Blind PeopleB. Where is That Noise Comi ng from?C. Hearing Better in the DarkD. What If Living Without Your Eyes?38. If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side，who would perform best?A. Those who are blind.B. Those who have gone blind since children.C. Those who went blind at age 16.D. Those who are blindf olded.39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital imp ortance for the blind.B. All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless.C. All the participants did equally well when picking sounds fr om whatever direction.D. The later people become blind，the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.40. What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with vis ual information are active in locating sounds?A. This happens in almost all the testers.B. This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16.C. It remains nothing new to the scientists any more.D. It remains a mystery why it is so.BOne evening in February 2007，a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a r emote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocke d her path. That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line . Second later，she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down th e railway tracks.Ceely's near_miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and rai ning heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no m ention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device a nd it led me right into the path of a speeding train，”she told t he BBC.Who is to blame here ? Rick Stevenson，who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US，finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digit al devices，he says，but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it's not just GPS devices：Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving eve rything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clearwhy he only focuses digital technology，while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map －maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe w e should blame Ceely for not paying attention，perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative danger s and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn't say.It's a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars ，Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer－based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent se ts of figures on car theft；both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says t hat once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhap s，but maybe it's also due to the shortage of policemen on the st reets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combinatio n of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is compl ex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way，it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcom ings of our machines. After all，we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have pr obably been fooling us for just as long.41. What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident ?A. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raini ng heavily then.C. The railway works failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS de vice didn't tell her about the crossing.42. The phrase “near miss”(paragraph 2 ) can best be replaced by ________．A. close bitB. heavy lossC. narrow escapeD. big mistake43. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probab ly agree with?A. Modern technology is what we can't live without.B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.44. In the writer's opinion，Stevenson's argument is________．A. one－sidedB. reasonableC. puzzlingD. well－based45. What is the real concern of the writer of this article?A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B. The relationship between humans and technology.C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.D. The human unawareness of technical problems.四、根据所给单词翻译下列句子46. 无论电脑多么先进，它永远不会取代人和人之间面对面的交流。
