     Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by
native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.
     First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better
choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure
you understand the first one.
     Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don't change books often. Never let your attention be attracted
by another course just because it seems to be more"fashionable".
     Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news
stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English
news on the radio.
      Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as
V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.

　　Le Whif, an inhaler(吸入剂)that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight, is to be on market in British stores．The invention, called the world's first breatheable food, lets consumers suck in the taste of chocolate or coffee while taking on less than one calorie．Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their waistline．

　　The lip-stick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles(粒子)which are small enough to be carried by air, but too large to enter the lungs．Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about eight to ten whiffs(一阵气味)and costs ＄1.99 on its own, or ＄4.99 for a pack of three．The inhaler is available in chocolate as well as coffee flavor．

　　It was invented by Prof．David Edwards．He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences, such as allowing people to try a variety of dishes from restaurant menus before ordering their meal．

　　He said, “In terms of living on whiffing, we aren't even close to being there．But there clearly has been a revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently, and choosing food for its aesthetic(审美的)pleasure．We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months．It is reasonable to predict that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered．”

　　The product came onto market in Paris in 2009 and the first production run of 25,000 inhalers were sold out within a month．It has since been made available across France and in the US．In Britain Le Whif is to be sold firstly in House of Fraser for a month, after which it could become more widely distributed．

第一节阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每题所给的四个选现（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Weighed down（压得喘不过气来） by study? Pushed to the limit by the fast pace of life? Frightened by the possible war? Well, you’re not alone. Men and women in France are seeking relief using the world’s best medicine─laughter.

In the past year, more than 25 laughter clubs have been set up across the country. People of all ages release their stress with an hour of group laughs. “People telephoned me and said they have forgotten what it is to laugh. They want to find a place where they can escape all their problems for a while. So they come,” said 40-year-old Jocelyn Le Moan. She usually takes a class of around 60 people through a series of laughter techniques.

Her pupils range from teenagers to 70 years old, but most are middle-aged white collars seeking 60 minutes of relaxation at the end of a busy day.

Le Moan takes them through the “Lion Laugh” and the “Laugh Contest”, where participants “speak” to each other in different ways. And instead of talking, they break into fits of laughter. At the end there are 15 minutes of “meditation”（沉思）,when they lie on their backs and let the laughs burst out of their mouths.

“I love it. It’s an experience that has changed my life. Through it I rediscovered the child’s laugh inside me,” said Romain Jourffroy, 24.

Like Jourffroy, many laughter club members find themselves changed into children again, and why not? The average preschooler laughs up to 400 times a day. The average adult only a sad seven to fifteen.

The physical benefits of laughter are already well-recognized. Doctors say the act of laughing releases good chemicals into the blood-stream, while the quick breathing that accompanies it helps massage（按摩）the digestive organs and strengthens the heart.

“A full hour is like having your insides go jogging! One finishes out of breath, but feels revitalized (产生新活力). And on top of that, you’ve had a laugh,” said doctor Alexisd Estaing.

And many participants in Paris also emphasize the psychological benefits. They believe that laughter is a way of making oneself feel more confident.

“Maybe it is because we are surrounded by so many troubles that we feel the need to keep laughing,” said Anne Maurigiano, a 29-year-old filmmaker.
