How Much Water Is Needed a Day?

Many people think they should drink eight glasses of water a day．

Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life．But a new report on science gives some different suggestions：people should drink according to their bodies．35 They should drink as much water as they would like to drink．

The report says most people meet their daily needs for water by letting thirst be their guide．It also gives people some good suggestions：women should get about 2.7 liters（升）of water every day，while men should get about 3.7 liters．

　　There is an important difference．36The report doesn't tell people how many glasses of　water to drink．Instead，the experts say it may not be possible to know how many glasses people　really need．This is because the daily want of water can include the water in foods．

Passage 1

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful（有压力的）life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world ―and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.

The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr: Madan Kataria. "Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day," says Dr. Kataria."Everyone's naturally good at laughing -- it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives." There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.

Many doctors are al,4o interested in the effects （效果） of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing, there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.

 So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest ― I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.

   Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real ― and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!

（     ）57. In which country was the first Laughter Club started?

  A. Britain.            B. America.               C. Australia.       D. India.

（     ）58. How many Laughter Clubs are there in India now?

  A. 500                B. more than 500       C. 1300              D. more than 1300

（     ）59. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?

  A. Surprised.          B. Pleased.                C. Nervous.        D. Stressful.

（     ）60. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?

  A. After a few minutes.    B. After a few hours. 

  C. After a few seconds.    D. After a few days.

（     ）61. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

  A. Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.

  B. 40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.

  C. Adults laugh more often than children in a day.     

D. Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.

Passage 2

  The Amazon rainforest is home to millions of different kinds of animals, plants, and birds. Most of the world’s fresh water is here and the forest plants clean the Earth’s air every day.

   Chico was born near the Amazon town, Brazil, in 1944 and started working when he was very young. Like the rest of his family, the boy got the money by taking a little rubber from the trees in the forest. （The trees are not hurt when the rubber is taken.） The forest and its people lived together comfortably and peacefully.

   But some people think too much about themselves and never think about the future. In 1980, the forest was burned to build roads, houses and factories. Chico was angry; he wanted to save the forest! He talked to the government workers, but they didn’t listen to him. They were still clearing the rainforests to make quick, easy money. “Many voices are stronger than one,” he thought, so Chico held group meetings. He discovered that hundreds of people agreed with him. His hope grew. More people came together to try to stop the work of the forest clearers. Large areas of the forest were saved. Later he traveled to many other countries for international help. People soon became very much interested in this brave Brazilian. In the next few years Chico’s name became famous all over the world. The government of Brazil started making plans to protect large areas of the Amazon rainforest.

   But as Chico’s dreams started coming true, someone stopped him in the only possible way. The famous forest fighter was murdered right outside his home on December 22, 1988. Chico’s life was cut short, but his brave new ideas continued in other people. One man changed the world’s ideas. After his death, people around the world sent money to help Chico’s work.
