【小题1】The writer gives some basics to help ____ in a proper way.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication,there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line . 71　 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

For anything you’re about to send : ask yourself, “would I say this to the person’s face ?” If the answer is no ,rewrite and reread.7 2　

If someone in the chat room is rude to you .your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so . 73 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member , try to fix the situation by politely discussing it .Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room..

74 Offer advice when asked by newcomers. As they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate . When someone makes a mistake , whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it . If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything . Even if you feel strongly about it . think twice before saying anything . Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 75　 At the same time , if you find you wrong. be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age , sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information . don’t ask such questions.

A.　　 It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B.　　 Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face .

C.　　 Everyone was new to the network once.

D.　　 The basic rule is simple :treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E.　　 When you send short messages to a person online , you must say something beautiful to hear.

F.　　 You should either ignore the person. or use your chat software to block their messages.

G.　　 If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake. point it out politely.

There's an old saying that laughter is the best medicine. No matter whether it's caused by a good joke, a cute child or pet, or a pie in the face of a comedian, the simple act of laughing offers medical benefits. Laughter has been shown to reduce stress and help people lose weight. It's a special tonic (滋补品)for older people, who are prone to loneliness and sad thoughts.

In fact, in more than 1,000 American communities, and a couple thousand more around the world, entire clubs have been formed so that people can get together and laugh! U.S. clubs have names like "Laugh-a-holics," "the Ha-Ha Spa," "Granite State Giggles(傻笑)," and "Judy's Joyful Laughter Club."

The idea started in India, where laughing is an oral yoga（瑜珈）exercise using discipline, mind power and a good belly laugh. Laughter is certainly contagious(传染性的). Only a determined grouch（脾气坏的人）could avoid at least smiling when others around him are laughing till it hurts. That's why members of laughing clubs don't just get together to howl with laughter themselves. They meet on street corners, in train stations, and other public places, laugh their fool heads off, and invite everyone around them to join in.

Laughing clubs have become so popular that one can even get training as a "certified laughing leader." And the key qualification? You have to be really good at these, chortling, chuckling, howling, snickering, cackling, tittering, giggling and sniggling.

1．The following are the benefits offered by laughing EXCEPT _____.

　 A．benefiting the older people

　 B．reducing pressure

　 C．helping people keep fit

　 A．Because they want to cause others to laugh.

　 B．Because they want to show off their special skills.

　 C．Because they would like people to share their happiness.

　 D．Because they need a large space to laugh.
