Gilbert joined
the Science Club last summer. One day he was
handed a piece of paper, a block of wood and four
wheels;
he was told to go home and
1
them all to “dad”. However, Gilbert’s
mom knew that his dad wasn’t good at
making
things
and
decided
that
she
would
read
the
2
and
let
Gilbert
do
the
work.
A
few
days
later
the
block
of
wood
was
turning into a car that Gilbert
3
named “Blue Lightning”. Then he and his
mother went to a car race together. But when
they
4
there, Gilbert
fou
nd that his car was the only one
that had not been made by a
“father
-
son” partnership
(
合作
).
The race began.
One by one the cars were knocked out until it
5
to
the final betweeen Gilbert and Jimmy. Just before
the race, Gilbert asked
6
they could
stop for a minute so that he could make a wish.
After a long minute, Gilbert said
that
he was
7 .
People cheered
as the race began. Jimmy stood with his father and
watched their car racing down the road while
Gilbert
was
surprised
at
the
great
8
of
his
car
as
it
rushed
over
the
finishing
line
less
than
a
second
9
Jimmy’s.
Gilbert
jumped up and down
with

Soon the club
manager came over and asked him, “So, Gilbert,
your wish was to
11
, right?” “Oh no, sir,” he replied.
“I just wished that I wouldn’t cry if I
lost.”
Children sometimes
12
adults with unexpected ideas. When
Gilbert first saw the other cars, he didn’t cry
out, “Not
fair! Other children had
their fathers’ help!” Gilbert didn’t wish for
victory in the race; instead he wished
for
courage.

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
no
w more than 500 Laughter Clubs in
India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many
doctors
are
also
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
abou
t 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!
4. In which country
was the first Laughter Club started?
A. Britain.
B. America.
C.
Australia.
D. India.
5. How did the
writer feel at the beginning of the class?
A. Surprised.
B.
Pleased.
C. Nervous.
D. Stressful.
6.
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.
7.
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.
C
Each
year
Ben
is
glad
when
school
is
closed
on
Martin
Luther
King
Jr.
Day.
Ben
knows
that
this
day
honors
an
important man, but Ben
does not feel connected to him. However, the
small-world theory (
理论
)
connects Ben to Dr. King.
Ben’s mom (0)
has a close
friend, Amy (1). Amy’s
uncle, Mar
k (2), once met and
spoke to John Carter (3), the son of
President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy
Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way, Ben is only
“five people away” from Martin Luther
King Jr.
The small-world theory says
that everyone in the world is connected through a
short chain (
链条
) of people
they know.
Another name of this chain
is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step
that separates a person from someone he or she
does not know. There are zero degrees
of separation between a person and the people he
or she knows directly. This means
that
there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom.
There is one degree of separation when just one
person separates
someone from a person
he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom, but he
hasn’t met her close friend A
my.
Therefore,
Ben is one degree away from
Amy. As the chain continues, Amy’s uncle, Mark, is
two degrees. John Carter is three degrees,
and his father is four degrees. Dr.
King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory
says that there are no more than six
degrees of separation between any two
people in the world.
The small-world theory has
a lot to do with math. The theory assumes
(
假定
) that each person knows
100 people. Each
one of those 100
people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50
people knows another 50 people, and so on. When
someone continues the calculation to
six degrees, it is like this: 100 ×
50
×
50 ×
50 ×
50
×
50 = 31.25 ×
10
9
. This number is
greater than 31 billion (a billion = a
thousand million). There are over 6 billion people
in the world. These numbers show it
is
possible that six degrees of separation could
include everyone in the world.
Does the small-world theory work? No
one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just
invites people to think a little more
about their places in the world.
8. Ben is two degrees away from
__________.
A.
Jimmy Carter
B. John Carter
C.
Amy
D. Mark
9. What
is the meaning of “degrees of separation” in
Paragraph 2?
A. The chain to connect people.
B. The relations between people.
C. The steps of
knowing strangers.
D. The
separation between strangers.
10. What
is the small-world theory mainly about?
A.
How far Ben is away from Dr. King.
B. How many people one can get to know.
C.
How people are connected in the world.
D. How the degrees of separation are
set up.
11. We can learn from the
article that _____________.
A. the small-
world theory works
B. more research is needed to prove the
theory
C. six degrees are needed to know the
strangers
D. the
writer
’
s purpose is to help
people find out their places
