题目内容

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余的选项。

Laughing is the farthest from our minds when things are not going good. We consume ourselves in sadness, tears and anger. Laughter is healthy. 1. Why can’t we learn to laugh? It is okay to do so. Here are some ways to make that happen:

1. Call or visit your best friend

2. Reminisce(追忆) on funny times together and laugh a hearty laugh. If your best friend is not available, sit in your living room or in your bedroom and remember all the funny things you have experienced throughout your life. Laugh as loud as you can.

2. Surround yourself with positive people

Ask your siblings or closest friends to join you for a comedy night out. 3. If the movie or show turns out disappointing, don’t let that turn you down. Make some innocent fun about the movie or show. Your friends or siblings will join the conversation.

3. 4.

If you have dogs, you know how it feels to see them run towards you when you come home from work. 5. And now that you are back, it’s play time. That will definitely put a smile on your face.

Laughter does not reduce the pain you are experiencing. It lends a hand to deal with the tough times with a more positive outlook. Don't fear laughter. Embrace it.

A. Spend time with your children.

B. Play with your pets.

C. Laughter keeps us moving forward.

D. People love these pets and regard them as their good friends.

E. Head out to a movie or a comedy show.

F. Your friends have waited all day – or just a few minutes – for your return.

G. Turn to the person with whom you shared humorous moments with.

In a cold winter, a couple had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy（破产）. The husband worked day and night but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “He doesn’t love me any more; he just thinks about his work.”

One day, she wanted to take a shower, but her husband stopped her at the door. “Let me take it first, OK?” “Why not let me take it first?” she asked. “I’m tired, dear. You take it later, OK?” She was very sad.

On a rainy day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. After a few minutes, her eyes were full of tears...it was his diary:

Today, I was quite sad. She asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said I was tired. She was unhappy. I wasn’t as rich as before! We moved to the small house and it was very cold. I found that if one person took the shower first, the bathroom could get a little warmer. So I always rushed to the bathroom first. When she took the shower, the bathroom could get warmer, at least 1°C. I can’t give her more, but at least I can give her 1°C love.

Eating at a slow speed may help reduce hunger, the U.S. researchers said on Monday. Previous research suggests that the ability to control energy intake may be affected by the speed at which we eat, and a high eating rate may damage the relationship between the sensory signals and processes that control how much we eat.

In order to learn more about the link between eating speed and energy intake, researchers examined how eating speed affects calories consumed during a meal in both normal-weight subjects as well as overweight or obese subjects.

In the new study, a group of normal-weight subjects and a group of overweight or obese subjects were asked to consume two meals in a controlled environment. All subjects ate one meal slowly, took small bites, chewed thoroughly, and paused and put the spoon down between bites, and ate a second meal quickly, took large bites, chewed quickly, and did not pause and put the spoon down.

At the conclusion of the study, the researchers found only normal-weight subjects had a statistically significant reduction in caloric consumption by eating slowly. “A lack of statistical significance in the overweight and obese group may be partly due to the fact that they consumed less food during both eating conditions compared to the normal-weight subjects,” Professor Meena Shah said, “it is possible that the overweight and obese subjects felt more self-conscious, and thus ate less during the study.”

Despite the differences in caloric consumption between the normal-weight and overweight and obese subjects, the study found some similarities. Both groups felt less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal, which indicates that greater hunger suppression（抑制）among both groups could be expected from a meal consumed more slowly. Also, both the normal-weight and overweight or obese groups consumed more water during the slow meal. “The higher water intake during the slow eating condition may have affected food consumption,” said Shah. According to Shah, slowing the speed of eating may help suppress hunger levels and “may even improve the enjoyment of a meal”.

The findings were published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

1.What does the previous study have in common with the new one?

A. There is a link between eating speed and energy intake.

B. Eating at a slow speed may help feel hungry.

C. Eating too fast may damage your stomach.

D. Eating rate may affect processes controlling how much we eat.

2. What should the subjects do during the research?

A. Both groups could totally eat the meals at any speed as they liked.

B. Both groups had to consume one meal in controlled eating conditions.

C. Both groups were asked to eat one meal slowly while the other quickly.

D. One group should eat slowly while the other one quickly.

3. What caused the lack of statistically significant reduction in the overweight and obese group?

A. They were told not to eat a lot.

B. In the study they had no appetite to eat.

C. They lost consciousness in the study.

D. They ate less food on purpose.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A. New research findings about how to control eating rate.

B. A study about the link between eating speed and energy intake.

C. One may feel less hungry later on after the slow meal than after the fast meal.

D. Water intake may have affected food consumption.

The sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus. We passengers sit jammed together in heavy clothes. No one speaks. That’s one of the unwritten rules of Chicago commuting. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to hide behind our newspapers. The phenomenon is striking: people who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their distance.

As the bus approaches the Magnificent Mile, a voice suddenly rings out: “Attention! Attention!” Papers rattle (发出细小声). Necks crane (伸长). “This is your driver speaking.”

We look at the back of the driver’s head. His voice has authority.

“All of you put your papers down.”

The papers come down, an inch at a time. The driver waits. The papers are folded and placed on our laps.

“Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”

Amazingly, we all do it. Still, no one smiles.

I face an older woman, her head wrapped tightly in a red scarf. I see her nearly every day. Our eyes meet. We wait, unblinking, for the next order from the driver.

“Now, repeat after me…” It is a command, delivered in the tones of a drill sergeant (教官). “Good morning, neighbor!”

Our voices are weak and timid. For many of us, these are the first words we have spoken today. But we say them at the same time, like schoolchildren, to the strangers beside us.

We smile and can’t help it. We have said it; the barrier has been broken. Good morning, neighbor. It is not so hard after all. Some of us repeat it. Others shake hands. Many laugh.

The bus driver says nothing more. He doesn’t need to. Not a single newspaper goes back up. I hear laughter, a warm sound I have never heard before on bus No. 151. This day is starting off better than most.

1.On hearing the sudden utterance of “Attention!”, the passengers ___________.

A. stopped reading and put down their newspapers immediately

B. looked up from the newspapers to see who was speaking

C. sat still without response

D. were frightened

2.The underlined word “commuting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___________.

A. daily traveling between home and work

B. long-distance ride

C. communication technology

D. behavior patterns

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The passengers on the crowded bus were so absorbed in reading their newspapers that no one spoke.

B. The passengers were physically close together but mentally they kept each other at a terrible distance.

C. The passengers didn’t follow the driver’s instruction at first.

D. When the bus driver said nothing more, the passengers picked up and read their newspapers again.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. The Warmth of Communication

B. The Exchange of Information

C. The Power of Observation

D. The Attitude to Loneliness
