16.Many people say dolphins are very intelligent.They seem to be able to think,understand,and learn things quickly.But are they smart like humans or more than cats or dogs?Dolphins use their brains differently from people.But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways.How?
l  Fact 1:Talk to me
    Like humans,every dolphin has its own"name".The name is a special whistle.Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself,usually by its first birthday.Actually,scientists think dolphins,like people,"talk"to each other about a lot of things,such as their age,their feelings,or finding food.And,like humans,dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate.But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans.No one speaks"dolphin"yet,but some scientists are trying to learn.
l  Fact 2:Let's play
    Dolphins are also social animals.They live in groups,and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun--just like people.In fact,playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
l  Fact 3:Fishermen's helper
    Dolphins and humans are similar in another way:both make plans to get something they want.In the seas of southern Brazil,for example,dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food.When fish are near a boat,dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water.Using this method,the men can catch a lot of fish.What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so?They get to eat some of the fish.
38.What does a dolphin often use as its"name"?B
A.A body language.
B.A special whistle.
C.Its feeling.
D.Its age.
39.Why do dolphins join others from different groups?C
A.To learn to"talk".
B.To meet their families.
C.To play games.
D.To find food.
40.How do dolphins help fishermen catch fish?A
A.By showing signs to the fishermen.
B.By leading the fish into the net.
C.By following fishing boats.
D.By playing with other fish.
41.What is the passage mainly about?D
A.Dolphins are smarter than humans.
B.Dolphins make friends with humans.
C.Dolphins teach humans to speak"dolphin".
D.Dolphins and humans are similar in some ways.

1.There is an English saying that"Laughter is the best medicine."Until recently,few people took the saying seriously.Now however,doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.They have found that laughter can really improve people's health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body.People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts,blood pressure,breathing and muscles.It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise.It increases blood pressure,makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face,the stomach,and even the feet.If laughter exercises the body,it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body.In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs.The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program.The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries,some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics,in which they help to improve their patients'condition by encouraging them to laugh.They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing,making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
32.What do we learn from the tests mentioned in paragraph 2?C
A.Laughter has totally different effects when compared with physical exercise.
B.Laughter can help to decrease blood pressure.
C.Tests'purposes were to study the influence of laughter on the body.
D.Laughter makes no difference to our feet.
33.The underlined word in paragraph 3can be replaced byD.
A.increase      
B.raise      
C.add       
D.reduce
34.According to the passage,the following statements are true exceptC..
A.Laughter is good for health.
B.Laughter helps to reduce pain.
C.Laughter can make you become old.
D.Laughter has good effects on patients.
35.The best title for this passage may beD..
A.Both laughter and physical exercise are good for health
B.Laughter clinics help patients improve their condition
C.Laughter can reduce the effects of pain
