第三部分 閱讀理解（共10小題；每小題2分，滿分20分）

A

There is an English saying： 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 really could 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 heart， blood pressure， breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure， the heart beating and breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face， the stomach， and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body， it must be beneficial （有益的）.

Other tests have shown that laughter appeared to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated （忍耐） the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme. 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 though their patients do not really feel like laughing， making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

56. Doctors have proved the following except that ____ .

A. smiling does good to healthB. laughter can be tolerated

C. there is a way to reduce painD. laughter can work the muscles in the feet

57. What’s the main idea of the passage？

A. Laughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human body.

B. Smile can produce the same effects as laughter.

C. Pain can be reduced by laughter.

D. Laughter is the best medicine.

58. Who tolerated the pain for the longest time？

A. The students who listened to different radio programmes.B. The students who could produce a kind of chemical.

C. The students who didn’t have stress or pain.D. The students who listened to a funny programme.

59. The underlined word “diminishes” is similar to “____”.

A. testB. stopC. reduceD. increase

60. Some doctors hold laughter clinics ____ .

A. to offer better service to their patientsB. to improve patients’ health

C. to make patients smileD. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets， fellow members of the sun’s family.

Two of them， Mercury and Venus， are nearer while the other six， namely Mars， Jupiter， Saturn， Uranus， Neptune and Pluto， also in their given order from the sun， are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are， the longer trips they make around the sun.People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in definite paths. It is a force called gravity （重力） that holds them in their paths.

We know that every little bit of matter in the universe pulls upon every other bit of matter. The pull between two bodies is proportional （成比例的） to the product of their masses. Because the sun is so large the pull between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for this pull， the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon， which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit around our planet， the earth. Gravity holds you to its surface， and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.

Now remember that large bodies exert （產生） a greater pull than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe， no matter how small， pulls on all other objects to some degree.

61. How many planets travel around the sun in the sun’s family？

A. Nine planets.B. Eight planets.C. One star and ten planets.D. Ten planets.

62. Which of the following statements is TRUE？

A. The earth is farther from the sun than any other planets in the sun’s family.

B. The planets travel in the sky in their own ways disorderly instead of in definite paths.

C. The earth is the nearest to the sun among the planets.

D. Of all the planets， the earth makes the third shortest trip around the sun.

63. Which two planets make the shortest trips around the sun among all the planets？

A. Mercury and Venus.B. Neptune and Pluto.C. Saturn and Uranus.D. Mars and Jupiter.

64. From the passage we can see ____ .

A. all the objects， big or small， must exert the same pull on one another

B. large objects exert the same pull on anybody as small objects

C. small objects can’t exert a pull on big objects

D. each object in the universe exerts a pull on all other objects

65. What can we learn from the underlined sentence？

A. The pull between the sun and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earth.

B. The pull between the earth and the moon is greater than that between the sun and the earth.

C. The pull between the sun and the earth is greater than that between the earth and the moon.

D. The pull between the sun and the earth is the same as that between the earth and the moon.
