Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.” Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools’ day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn’t dependent on single sense but on social interactions. And laughter is not just a people thing. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them. Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled—they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them. By studying rats, scientists can figure out what’s going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression. - 2 -
Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone. “No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, largely because it’s hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn’t really matter: “Isn’t the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough?” 67. The most important finding of Robert Provine’s research is that ______. A. laughter makes a person feel good B. laughter depends on different senses C. laughter is a quality people are born with D. laughter is a social response shared by all creatures 68. According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ______. A. if they will laugh B. if they like laughing C. what laughter in rats produces D. how rats react while being tickled 69. What can we learn from the passage? A. Patients will recover if they laugh enough. B. Laughter is a means of communication as well as language. C. A new medicine has been developed based on the laughter research. D. Scientists can know what is happening in a human brain when he laughs. 70. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

However, just as many thought they were about to go further, the original singer of the song “In the Spring” stepped in to prevent the band from performing his songs.

2014高考英语阅读理解全程巩固训练(7)
2014高考英语阅读理解全程巩固训练〔7〕与答案阅读理解-------BSurviving the boredom of a school day can be bad enough, but when you have to worry about school gangs as well it's enough to make any student want to stay at home and under the covers! Unfortunately, gang culture can be found in many British schools, and it brings with it negative, and dangerous, side effects. The presence of weapons at or near school, the appearance of graffiti on buildings and lockers, and pressure to blow off school work and exams all follow where the gangs lead. None of these things contribute to a good education, but for school gangs that's exactly the point - school is for being popular and having fun, not learning anything or preparing for the future. Keep these tips in mind and say goodbye to school gangs.Know your own mind. Often it is those with low self-esteem and a poor self-image who become victims of school gangs. These students don't know their own mind or have a clear picture of what they would like to do in the future, so it is easy to be influenced by those who don't want to do any work today.Keep yourself busy. School gangs often hang around at or near schools with no real reason. Students who have nothing scheduled can easily be sucked into these groups, but if you are busy, busy, busy and always on the move there will be less chance that you'll have the time to stay and "play".Choose your friends wisely. With a core group of like-minded friends, it is much easier to stay away from school gangs because you simply don't need them. Remember that gangs are a source of power for members, but they can also be a source of intimidation.Work hard and have fun. No one likes a teacher's pet, but school gangs in particular hate them. Work hard and have fun at school, but don't annoy anyone with extreme goody-two-shoes(伪君子〕 behaviour. School gangs can be a nightmare if you must dealwith them constantly. Stay away from gang hangouts and gang members, and don't involve yourself in any gang related activities.31. For the school gangs, school is _____.A. where they are instructed to behave themselves.B. a good place to prepare for the future.C. where they win popularity and enjoy themselves.D. a place that contributes to a good education.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习(7)及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习(7)及答案C7[2013·陕西卷] CAccording to sociologists(社会学家)，every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification(阶层)．Class，power and status are important in deciding people's rank in society。
Class means a person’s economi c position in society。
A commonly used classification is lower class，middle class and upper class。
While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined，they do describe societies like the United States quite well。
One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class，46％the middle class，and 1％the upper class。
Interestingly, a surgeon earning $ 500，000 a year and a bus driver earning ＄50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class！Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people。
Obviously，people in positions of great power(such as governors）exercise(行使）big power，but people who take orders from others have less power.Power and class do not always go hand in hand，however.For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding(相应的) economic class。
2014届高三英语二轮精品卷：语法填空和完形填空(7)及答案
上海市2014届高三英语二轮精品卷：语法填空和完形填空（7）II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.(A)Alan and Linda always dreamed of living “the good life”. Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfil their mutual goal of becoming wealthy. They both worked very hard for years. ____25____ (earn) enough money, they finally could move from their two-bedroom home to a seven-bedroom home in a rich neighbourhood. They focused their energies on trying to have ____26____ they considered important for a good life: membership in the local country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends. ____27____ much they earned, it never seemed to be enough. They were unable to remove the financial insecurity that ____28____ (acquire) in childhood. Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money. Alan also suffered from heart attack, ____29____ cost the family much. One thing led to ____30____, and they found themselves in a financial disaster. Their house needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership and the cars. It was several years ____31____ Alan and Linda managed to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from wealthy, they have learned a valuable lesson from their lives and felt quite blessed. Only now, as they think of what ____32____ (remain) — a solid, loving marriage, a dependable income, and good friends —do they realize that true abundance comes not from gathering fortunes, but rather from appreciating.(B)We all hope to enjoy harmonious relationships with our parents. In real life, however, this is not always possible. The poem “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden expresses the speaker’s regret over the way the speaker, when he was young, ____33____ (treat) his father. It is only when he looks back on how he has grown up ____34____ he begins to understand his father’s unselfish love.In remembering the small things his father did ____35____ him and his family, such as lighting a fire in the morning and polishing his shoes, the speaker begins to understand an aspect of parental love that escaped ____36____ notice in the past.As he recalls how his father warmed the house, the speaker’s coldness toward his father starts to melt away. In its place is love and gratitude. It dawns on him that love is not just hugging and kissing, or always warm and affectionate, but ____37____ well be cold and stern in appearance. In fact, mature love often requires self-discipline and self-sacrifice.During our stressful teen years, we may find that our parents, especially our fathers, have difficulty____38____ (show) their love for us verbally — sometimes when we need it most. This is certainly very discouraging. However, if we remember ____39____ (be) grateful or not so self-centered, we will see that their love has always been there, only ____40____ (express) inways different from what we may have expected.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.We need more men in our hospital, not as doctors, but as nurses. Over the last few years, I have found that having male nurses is a real bonus, and they definitely have a place in our hospital. There are several reasons for wanting male nurses here, not only because half the population in our country is male. Men ____41____ excellent carers and are ____42____ good at taking care of others. In fact, many men take good care of their children, wives, parents, sisters, brothers, and even their nieces and nephews.Another reason that men can become great nurses is that in general, men are ____43____ stronger than women. Male nurses can help ____44____ heavy objects, or if, for example, a patient cannot move from the waist down, male nurses can help move the patient into a comfortable ____45____. Also, male nurses can be a great help in keeping patients ____46____ while they receive painful treatment, such as when bandages covering wounds are changed. Another advantage to having male nurses is that they see things from a different ____47____ from women and bring a male way of thinking to problem-solving. This allows the hospital to work more effectively than if we only ____48____ problems one way. Having a mix of male and female nurses also helps create a fun atmosphere, which helps patients recover faster.Currently, only 7 percent of our nursing staff are men; this number is far too low, and the problem requires correction. Having more male nurses will help create a positive ____49____ between male and female staff, and it will ____50____ patients the choice of a male or female carer. I am determined to take on more male nurses here at Central Hospital. I will be organizing an open day soon to allow interested young men to visit our hospital and find out more about nursing. Hopefully, we will have more male nurses in our hospital soon!III.

2014高考英语 阅读理解巩固练习(7)
2014高考英语阅读理解巩固练习（7）及答案C7[2013·陕西卷] CAccording to sociologists(社会学家), every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification(阶层)．Class, power and status are important in deciding people's rank in society.Class means a person's economic position in society.A commonly used classification is lower class, middle class and upper class.While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well.One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class.Interestingly, a surgeon earning $ 500，000 a year and a bus driver earning $ 50，000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class!Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people.Obviously, people in positions of great power(such as governors) exercise(行使) big power, but people who take orders from others have less power.Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however.For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding(相应的) economic class.Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, there aren't too many people who aren't millionaires in the U．S.Senate!Status is the honor or respect attached to a person's position in society.It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so.For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.54．What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2?A．People earning $50，000 a year belong to the middle class.B．Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class.C．People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.D．Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.55．According to the text, we know that ________．A．power and class do not always correspond with each otherB．status refers to a person's economic position in societyC．people with high status have a lot of control over othersD．class is less important in deciding a person's social rank56．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A． B.C． D.【要点综述】本文说明了一个社会现象：每个现代工业社会都有其社会阶层。
