分析 本文属于说明文，告诉我们大笑对健康很有好处，同时文章中还给出了一些让我们更快乐有更多笑声的三个建议．
解答 36．E．推理判断题．根据前一句A good laugh is like a mild workout．It exercises the muscles，gets the blood flowing，decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system．说明大笑对我们有很好的作用，那么在生活中我们应该更多大笑．另外从下文三个黑体字部分可知这些都是让我们有更多笑声的方法．所以E项"The following are some ways to enjoy more laughter and joy in your life"属于上下文的过渡句；故选E．
37．B．推理判断题．根据前句We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes．在生活中我们都会遇见障碍也都会犯错．犯错是生活中很正常的一件事情，所以我们不要因此而责备自己．故B项"There is no reason to blame yourself for it．"符合上下文串联；故选B．
38．C 推理判断题．本段的标题是Find the humor in a bad situation．在糟糕的情景中找到幽默的一面．告诉我们当我们遇见困难时，要学会从中找到有趣的一面，让自己开心快乐．再根据横线前一句Sure，there are some situations where you are really sad当然，有一些我们真的很难受的情况．那么我们要从这些令人难受的情景中找到有趣的东西．故C项符合上下文．
39．G．推理判断题．本段的标题为Remind yourself of funny moments from the past．让自己想起过去那些的有趣的时刻，因为那些时刻对我们的情绪有很好的影响．所以我们要经常想起这些时刻，尤其是在我们悲伤难过的时候．选项中只有G项内容与本段中心思想一致．
40．D．推理判断题．根据横线后两句As the saying goes，laughter is contagious（会传染的）．So make a point of seekingout positive people who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at finding humor in life's situations．可知笑是会传染的，要让我们周围都是一些快乐的人，让自己快乐的人来感染我们．让我们一起快乐起来．所以D项"Surround yourself with fun people who like to laugh a lot．"与本段中心思想一致；故选D．
点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．
