I am deeply impressed by the great changes that have been taken place in the school over the past three years.
In May 12,2008, a severe earthquake destroys almost everything in the school，leaving badly-damaged buildings. It is now, however, taking on a new look. Tall building have been put up, including classrooms and laboratory buildings, and a library. There has also a newly-built standard playground. In the new environment, teachers and students are living happy and working hard. It is really amazed that the once-ruined place has now been turned into beautiful school, full of life.
Obviously, without the help of the whole society, there would be no new school today. It is love and concern that has brought about the great changes. Many hands make light work. We can work wonders if you unite as a family, caring for each other and helping those in need. Union is strength.

There is an English saying that “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.
1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. Laughter is good for health
B. Laughter can make you become old quickly
C. Laughter helps to reduce pain.
D. Laughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.
2.The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means_____.
A. delays B. prevents
C. increases D. reduces
3.Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?
A. Because they want to earn more money.
B. Because they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses.
C. Because they want to improve their patients’ condition.
D. Because they want their patients to practice how to laugh
4.According to the author, we should__________.
A. laugh as much as possible B. watch more funny films
C. smile all the time D. spend more time in laughter clinics

The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Considering the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news, people are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked(透漏), their power to destroy is set free."
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and pe
rsonal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
1.What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
B. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.
C. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
D. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.
A. some stories make themselves feel uneasy
B. story?sharing highlights the importance of hard work
C. people are used to exposing their weaknesses
D. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
3.The writer aims to convince us to ________.
A. realize the importance of being honest when making friends
B. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
C. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
D. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.
The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
1.The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. early B. mostly
C. quickly D. smoothly
2.Some cats and dogs may fight when ________.
A. they are cold to each other
B. they look away from each other
C. they are introduced at an early age
D. they misunderstand each other’s body languages
3.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.
A. have common interests B. are less different than was thought
C. have a common body language D. are not so smart as was expected
4.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A. We should learn to get along well with others.
B. We should know more about animals.
C. We should live in peace with animals.
D. We should learn more body languages.
