2.According to a study at the University of Marland Medical Center in Baltimore,researchers found that people who had a good sense of humor and laughed a lot,not only at home but also at work,had fewer heart problems than people who laughed less,and laughing people tend to live a longer life than the ones who are not.
After reading plenty of information about the benefits of laughing and a careful study of previous papers in this area,a doctor in India started a laughter club.Dr.Mandan Damaris's laughter club quickly grew into 1,800groups throughout India and over 6,000around the world.The laughter club had even inspired World Laughter Day,which people celebrate on the first Sunday of May every year.Instructors at the clubs get people laughing not only through jokes but through simple laughing exercises,For example,instructors and participants repeat the chant"ho-ho-ho"and"ha-ha-ha"together.What's more,participants also do the"Lion laugh"by sticking out their tongues and waving their hands around their ears.Other exercises focus on breathing and simple yoga exercises.In a word,all the activities that can cause laugh are included in the clubs.
These laughter clubs are very popular in hospitals and nursing homes nowadays in India,where participants can forget about their aches and pains while laughing.It seems that laughing may be just as important as eating right and exercising.
Not everyone can join a laughter club,but we all can take part in the same practice.According to the doctor,besides taking part in the clubs,everyone can do something to make themselves laugh.How can you make laughing a part of your daily routine?If you feel funny about joining a laughter club,you can rent a funny movie,remember a funny experience,do some sports,go to the zoo,watch the monkeys or even,just make yourself laugh.You will not be able to keep a straight face all the time.
So,don't worry;be happy.Laugh a little and live longer.
Researchers found that laughing could make people live a healthier and longer life.(要点1)Based on sufficient information,a doctor in India opened a laughter club to make participants laugh through various activities.(要点2)Actually,the idea of laughter clubs is prevailing in India nowadays and people attach great importance to laughing.(要点3)So it's advised that everyone should try to do more laughing in one way or another.(要点4).
19.When you think of photographing people,you may think of your family reunion or the Christmas party at work.These types of pictures of people are records of fun events with nice memories.Let's take a look at another idea for taking pictures of people,with an entirely different slant.
Much as anthropologists(人类学家)study the diversity of characteristics of people in cultural and environmental contexts,some photographers record these aspects of people in their pictures.They cry to capture the emotions and humanity of people,and the photograph draws the viewer into the subject's experience at that moment in time.
Taking pictures of people with this goal in mind makes the photographer and the viewer grow in the understanding of human nature.For example,a photograph of a young man trying to hitch a ride(搭便车)in the rain can show the experience.His poncho(雨布)sparkles with the raindrops flowing in a steady stream to the ground.The lights of passing traffic highlight the contrast between the warm,dry drivers,taking no notice of his trouble.Another picture of a child sleeping on a bench at a busy train station can capture the innocence of childhood contrasted with a busy world of hurried grown-ups.
If you'd like to experiment with this form of photographs of people,look for ordinary people in contrasting environments or contexts.Children and the elderly pose extraordinary possibilities.The lined faces of the aged often make great subjects,reflecting character and wisdom.People are such interesting subjects.Facial expressions can convey a thousand moods and feelings.
Taking pictures of people with an eye to the feel and magic of the moment will make you a better and more enthusiastic photographer.You may find yourself so taken with this new experience.Photographing people is an artful endeavor.Take the leap!

28.The second paragraph mainly shows that some photographers are doing something.C
A.easier than anthropologists'study
B.more interesting than anthropologists'study
C.similar to anthropologists'study
D.different from anthropologists'study
29.What is the effect of pictures that show emotions and humanity of people?B
A.Helping to know more about cultures.
B.Helping to know better about human nature.
C.Helping to know more about photography.
D.Helping to know better about an event.
30.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3indicate?D
A.The drivers have to drive carefully in the rain.
B.The drivers are lucky to be warm and dry in the rain.
C.The young man is fighting against the rain.
D.The young man is in a difficult situation in the rain.
31.What is suggested by the author?D
A.Taking pictures of common people.
B.Taking pictures of great events.
C.Teaching children photographing.
D.Applying old people's wisdom to photographing.
6.Do you always experience tired eyes at an even more frequent rate?What if your eyes are in such a kind of condition?There is no need to worry about it because it is so common nowadays.On the contrary,you should find the factors and then seek some appropriate treatments for them.
Some folks don't wish to waste even a second at work,even to blink (眨眼)for a fraction of a second.Staring constantly at the screen can cause stress to one's eyes.Sitting and staring at the television screen for hours can also make the eyes tired.
Bookworms love reading and they will make sure they read much more than their bodies can deal with.The desire to finish a book may result in fast reading,without taking breaks,which can lead to tired eyes.Continuous reading in dim light can also cause pressure to the eyes.
Decreased water intake and overindulgence (过度放纵)in salt-based junk food items like burgers,pizzas,etc.also play a role in causing tired eyes.These junk food items do not furnish the body with the required essential nutrients,thus causing a lack of vitamins,which also has an effect on tired eyes.
Stress at the workplace or at home and a noisy sleeping environment cannot bring enough sleep at night.Lack of sleep causes the eyes to become heavy.Dark circles are also seen to develop if one doesn't get sufficient sleep over a period of time.
Even though this condition is not fatal,it is stressful for the health of the body,and must be treated.If not treated on time,the condition can become worse and result in double or blurred vision.Here are some ways to treat the tired eye condition.
Every hour during your day at work,spend a minute relaxing your eyes.Look away from your computer screen and roll your eyes in both directions.Try and blink more often.Look around the room or close your eyes for a minute if you want and then work again.Following this every hour will help reduce overall stress on your eyes,and you won't feel so tired after work.
Caffeine present in the tea helps relieve tired eyes.Make a cup of hot black tea and pour it into a glass.Hold the glass close to your eyes,so that the vapors from the tea reach your eyes.This may be troublesome,so instead you can also use tea bags to relieve your eyes.Dip two black tea bags in a cup of hot water and once the warmth is bearable place the warm tea bags onto your eyes.This will also make you feel fresh.
If your eyes feel extremely tired at work,go to the washroom and wash your face with cool tap water.The cold water will help relieve the tired feeling.Do this every hour during work and you will find relief.

16.How will traditional print media forge a working relationship with news websites in the digital age?This is a question that both sides need to consider from a long-term viewpoint.
The conviction(定罪) of a software developer for going against the property rights of the Beijing News by using what the newspaper had published on its iPad service reveals only a tip of the iceberg when it comes to the illegal use of print media's content by news websites.In this case,the software developer used content published by 60 papers without their knowledge.
The Beijing News won the case and the intellectual property rights violator was ordered to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation.If anything,this can be considered a minor victory for the Beijing News,compared to its three similar suits over the past decade.
Yet,the Beijing News is alone in the fight.Other media outlets choose to turn a blind eye to the piracy because they wouldn't bother to take the lot of time and energy for the lawsuit with a likely compensation that might not be enough to cover the costs for winning the case.
Considering this situation,print media and news websites must work out a way to cooperate in a manner that will benefit both.
In the long run,it will be impossible and impractical for news websites to live on print media.With the progress protecting intellectual property rights in recent years,there will be no way for them to use the content free of charge all the time.They must find a way to cooperate with traditional print media in such a way that they can legally use their resources.
For the part of print media outlets,they must rise up to protect their rights for their own existence.There should be an environment to make it very costly for whoever threatens intellectual property rights.Then most print media organizations could afford to bring violators to court.On the other hand,costly,time-consuming and troublesome as such suits are,more print media must rise up so that more pressure will put on both the violators and the courts.Then they will be able to improve the environment for themselves and break the illegal cycle.

56.How many suits has Beijing News ever lodged(提起)?C
A.Only one.
B.Exactly three.
C.At least four.
D.More than five.
57.Which of the following can be a reason for there to be few such suits?B
A.The court doesn't pay much attention to such boring suits as usually last a long time.
B.Print media outlets don't think it worth thei r efforts.
C.Engineers on the news websites are usually far cleverer to win such cases.
D.There are few examples of winning such suits.
58.Why does the author insist that more news media should rise up?C
A.They can receive a certain compensation for their intellectual property rights.
B.They should try their best to trouble the courts with more pressure.
C.Their joint efforts can lead to a better environment for their own existence.
D.The piracy of the news websites is no longer tolerable.
59.What's probably the meaning of the underlined word"violator"in the third paragraph?D
A.Somebody who makes a lot of money against the law.
B.Somebody who keeps something secret from others.
C.A person who is determined to publish news illegally.
D.A person who does something against the law.
3.A smiling face with tears,or"Tears of joy",was chosen as the most popular emoji globally in 2016,according to a report(61)published(publish)by Chinese tech startup Kika.
In 2015,emoji was the country's fastest-growing language in the UK and"Tears of joy"also became the Oxford English Dictionary's word of the year,(62)making(make)it popular on social media worldwide.
As a language expert pointed out,the reasons(63)forthis are as follows.For one thing,with the development of the Internet,especially the (64)popularity(popular)of smartphones,English alone is proving not enough to meet the needs of 21st-century digital communication.For(65)another,emojis can offer greater freedom than verbal language.Meanwhile,compared with text messages,they are often more intuitive(直观的)and (66)more simple(simple),which is also the reason why more and more People choose(67)to express(express)their emotions and ideas by using emojis.
Even if you don't send emojis yourself,you will(68)probably(probable)receive them.
However,nobody can definitely-tell (69)whether/ifemojis will finally come to look something more like traditional language that we understand and use daily some day or they are just in fashion for(70)a while like many things."After all,it's an addition to language rather than a language itself,"Dr Drummond says.
