There is an old English saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." One person who certainly would have agreed with this is Norman Cousins.

Norman Cousins was the editor(编辑) of a magazine called Saturday Review for almost forty years. He also 1 and spoke about world peace and anti-war issues(反战议题), travelling to many different countries to share his ideas.

In the 1960s, after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Europe. Mr Cousins got 2 . He discovered he had a strange disease that caused great pain in his bones.

He began to experiment(实验) on himself while still in hospital by watching comedy shows. Mr Cousins quickly found that ten minutes of 6 _laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night.

Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could 7 his experiments with laughter. For eight days.

三、阅读理解。

Populations of white-tailed deer(白尾鹿) are growing rapidly in many parts of the United States. As populations grow, food becomes a problem. Many deer die of hunger. Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause

traffic accidents.

People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry or ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?

Should people take direct action?

Many people think that hunting(打猎) is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）. Then hunters with licences are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.

Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this method is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem.

Scientists are also working to develop chemicals to control the birth rate in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.

Should people take indirect action?

Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.

Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the populations will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment. So let nature go its own way.

( )l. According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area.

A. water pollution

B. traffic accidents

C. serious illnesses

D. growing populations

（)2. Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in the passage?

A. Should people do nothing'?

B. Should people protect the deer?

C. Should people take special action?

D. Should people drive the deer away?

( )3. The writer most probably agrees that .

A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer out

B. people should leave the deer alone in the wild

C. hunting is the best way to control the deer populations

D. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文的问题，并将答案写在横线上。

Almost every kid in the USA has ever eaten HERSHEY'S chocolate. But do you know that the father of HERSHEY'S chocolate, Milton Hershey, had many failures in business before he started his famous company?

Milton Hershey grew up in Pennsylvania. Before he became interested in making chocolate, he worked as a printer for a small newspaper at first. And then he decided that printing was not the right job for him.

Then he worked at a candy factory in Lancaster. After working a few years there, he decided to open his own little candy business but failed because it was not making money. After that, he went to Denver to learn how to make caramel(焦糖). He took his new skills back to New York and sold candy in the street. But his second business also failed.

Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to Pennsylvania where he grew up. He then experimented with all kinds of different candy and chocolate. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavoured (巧克力味的) caramel sold best, he decided to make chocolate himself.

By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate. The area where he lived had a large and easy supply of milk and sugar, which helped him succeed in his chocolate business. In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory.

l. What was Milton Hershey's first job?

2. How did Milton Hershey's chocolate-flavoured caramel sell best?

3. Do you think it's good luck that leads to Milton Hershey's success? What can you learn from his

story?
