Now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can 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 rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of 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.‎ Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group, which tolerated 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 endorphins（内啡肽）in the brain. These are natural chemicals that diminish both stress and pain.‎ There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group-in other words, a group with which to ‎ compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their blood cells, that is, the cells which fight infection.‎ As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists（精神病学家）in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ conditions 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.‎ ‎28. We learn from the first paragraph that laughter .‎ A. is good for one’s health. B. is related to some illness.‎ C. has been investigated long since. D. has no effect on the body.‎ ‎29.Doctors have found that laughter .‎ A. keeps down blood pressure. B. has similar effects to physical exercise.‎ C. decreases the heart rate. D. increases stress.‎ ‎30. Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter, according to the passage?‎ A. It reduces pain. B. It exercises the body.‎ C. It improves the body’s immune(免疫的)system. D.It can cure cancer.‎ ‎31. In a laughter clinic, doctors .‎ A. laugh at their patients. B. encourage their patients to laugh.‎ C. smile when they don’t feel like laughing. D. never stop laughing.‎ D History tells us that footwear was one of the first things ancient people learned to make. Footwear helped them across rocky paths or hot sands without injuring themselves. The earliest footwear we know of was simply a piece of plaited (编织的) grass or leather tied to the feet.‎ The ancient Egyptians seem to have invented the first footwear with a firm sole (鞋底) — sandals. Egyptian royalty usually wore sandals that had a different style from those with lower status (身份), while slaves were not allowed to wear anything on their feet. The sandal is still the basic form of footwear in many countries, particularly those with a hot climate, whereas in cold climates, an entirely different type of shoe appeared — the moccasin — a slipper-shaped shoe ‎ made of soft but strong leather.‎ The Greeks were the first to develop shoes with heels (鞋跟). Then, in the Middle Ages, shoes with long points at the toe became very chic for the nobility. These shoes were often very difficult to wear. Other trends followed, with square-toed shoes, wide shoes, and even shoes that could make a woman stand two feet taller. Not surprisingly, these sometimes led to accidents. Even today, fashion rather than comfort often leads to the kind of shoes women wear.‎ Mechanical shoemaking appeared in the 1800s in North America. Until then, shoes had been made with the same kinds of hand tools used by the ancient Egyptians. And in 1858, a machine was invented that could stitch (缝合) the sole of a shoe to the upper part. Now it was possible to make shoes that were shaped to fit either the left or right foot. Toward the end of the 1800s came a new type of shoe that was specifically designed for sports — the sneaker — and it soon become an all-time favorite.‎ ‎32. What did shoes often show in ancient times?‎ A. The rich resources. B. People's different beliefs.‎ C. People's status in society. D. The changeable climates.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word “chic” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A. Valuable.        B. Convenient. C. Fashionable.      D. Comfortable.‎ ‎34. Before mechanical shoemaking appeared, _____.‎ A. shoes were often very difficult for people to wear.‎ B. all the shoe patterns made by the Greeks were the same.‎ C. the only function of footwear was to protect people's feet.‎ D. people wore the same-shaped shoes on their two feet ‎ ‎35. How does the text mainly develop?‎ A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By following the order of time. D. By following the order of importance.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to keep healthy?
