Reading is a great way to improve your English. By reading, you are receiving valuable language input. As you are reading, you are taking in language gradually, and you are seeing how it all fits together. This is crucial to your learning.
The key effective reading is to read things that you want to read. There are millions of books, magazines and websites out there. You couldn’t possibly read them all. So the important thing is to find things that you like reading. Then, you will be motivated to read. And then the reading won’t be difficult. It’ll be easy ！And then you’ll learn.
It’s simple.
Remember：read what you want to read—what you like reading and what motivates and encourages you. But where can you start？Well, you could read a book that you have already read in your own language. You could also read the news. This is great as you can read the news in your own language first, then in English. Magazines are also great. Find one that covers a topic you are interested in：business, clothing, guns, horses, sports, cooking...you name it, they will have it. Why not join a forum(论坛) ？Go to Google Groups，which has discussion groups based on common interests. Just type in the topic that interests you and join the chat.
Finally, how you read is also important. The best thing is to read without using a dictionary. L et the words flow over you. Just skip the parts you don’t understand. If you make your reading feel too much like work, it will stop being fun. Of course, you could make a note of any new words and phrases that you like or see repeated frequently, but try not to break your focus too much. Also, set your goals. For example, if you are reading a novel, read 20 pages a day. Very soon, you will get to know thousands of useful phrases and words. Have fun reading！You will learn so much！

There is an old 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 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, 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 appears 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 programs. The group that tolerated(忍受) the pain for the longest time was the groups 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 reduce both stress(压力) 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’ health 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. Doctors have proved the following except that __________.
A. smiling does good to health
B. laughter can be tolerated
C. there is a way to reduce pain
D. laughter can work the muscles in the feet
29. The main idea of the passage is ___________.
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
30. The students who _________ tolerated the pain for the longest time.
A. listened to different radio programs
B. could produced a kind of chemical
C. don’t have stress of pain
D. listened to a funny prog ram
31. Doctors hold laughter clinics __________.
A. to give better condition to their patients
B. in order to improve patient’s health
C. to make patients smile
D. to prove smile and laughter have the same effect

Today I went to a little convenience store in my town and at the door there was this man sitting on the floor looking sad with a sign saying“It is my birthday. Help please.”
