Making time to laugh can boost (促进) your health. Some researchers believe laughing is good.
Burns Calories：Laughing for 10 to 15 minutes raises energy expenditure (花费；消耗), increases heart rate, and can burn up to 40 calories.
Causes “Runner's High”：Laughing increases endorphins (内啡肽), reduces stress and strengthens the immune system.
Protects Against Heart Disease：Research suggests that a good sense of humour wards off heart attacks. Laughter widens blood vessels so blood flows more freely.
Strengthens the Immune System：Stress hormones (荷尔蒙) are reduced during laughter, allowing the immune cells to function ughing also promotes an oxygen & carbon dioxide exchange.
Helps Kids Tolerate Pain：Cartoons can help children cope with painful procedures, such as needles or to the dentist. Humour helps kids tolerate pain longer.
Increases Job Satisfaction：Humour improves communication, creativity and overall performance in the workplace.
Improves Counseling Sessions (咨询会)：Laughter is thought to be one of the easiest ways that humans signal support and “it is safe to relax here”．
Improves Classroom Interactions: Humour encourages students' discussions and increases course enjoyment.
Increases Hope and Self-worth (自我价值感)：Watching just 15 minutes of a comedy show can relieve worries about health or career. Laughter can replace negative thoughts with positive ones and help formulate (规划，构想) a “plan of attack” for problems. This in turn increases feelings of self-worth, which makes overcoming obstacles (障碍) even easier.
Eliminates (消除) “Us Versus Them” Thinking：Comedy makes us more inclusive (包括……的) of others and helps us see the big picture.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Joke 1: A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan. “What was that for？” the man asked.
The wife replied, “That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it I found in your pocket.” The man then said, “When I was at the races last week Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on.” The wife apol ogized and went on with the housework.Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife hit him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious.Upon regaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again.The wife replied, “Your horse phoned.”
Joke 2: “Do you believe in life after death？” the boss asked one of his employees.
“Yes, sir，” the new employee replied.
“Well, then, that makes everything just fine，”the boss went on.“After you left early yesterday to go to your grandmother's funeral, she stepped in to see you！”
Joke 3：“Oh, I am happy to see you，” the little boy said to his grandmother on his mother's side.“Now maybe daddy will do the trick he has been promising us.” The grandmother was curious.
“What trick is that？” she asked.
“I heard him tell mommy that he would climb the walls if you came to visit，” the little boy answered.
Joke 4：A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma (昏迷) for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.One day, he signaled for her to come nearer.As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, “You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times.
When I got fired, you were there to support me.
When my business failed, you were there.
When my health started failing, you were still by my side.You know what Martha？”
“What dear？” she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.
“I'm beginning to think you're bad luck.”
A．The organization of the horse races of a club.
B．The horse the man chose to bet on in the races.
C．The horse named Jenny which won the race successfully.
D．The woman named Jenny whom the man made friends with.
解析：选D推理判断题。

结合生活实际，马怎么可能打电话呢？说明丈夫在第一次回复妻子关于詹妮这个名字的时候撒谎了，所以这里的horse其实就是指那位和丈夫有联系的女士。

2．What does the boss mean in Joke 2?
A．He himself was lucky to meet the employee's dead grandmother.
B．The employee's grandmother has come into heaven after death.
C．He has made it out that the employee lied to him on purpose.
D．The employee's grandmother is an honest woman.
解析：选C推理判断题。

这则笑话中的“life after death”是指“死而复生”，这当然不可能，但是这个员工以参加祖母的葬礼为由早退后其祖母恰巧来访，说明他撒谎了，他编造了一个参加祖母葬礼的借口而早退却被老板识破了。

3．What can we learn about the little boy from Joke 3?
A．His father doesn't like his mother-in-law to come.
B．His father likes to make fun of his mother-in-law.
C．He likes to play tricks on others.
D．His mother was strict with him.
解析：选A推理判断题。

英语中的grandmother意为“祖母；外祖母”，而这个小孩在给grandmother解释爸爸的trick的时候，说如果grandmother到来，爸爸会爬上墙，说明这里的grandmother指的是外祖母，而爸爸并不欢迎自己的岳母。

4．The husband in Joke 4 means that ________.
A．he is thankful for his selfless and lovely wife
B．he realizes he is unlucky to have married his wife
C．it is fortunate to experience so many unforgettable things
D．his wife deserves all his love because of her devotion
解析：选B推理判断题。

根据文章Joke 4中叙述的一系列倒霉事情，尤其是最后一句话“I'm beginning to think you're bad luck.”可知此人的意思是“我娶了一位倒霉的妻子”，故答案为B合适。

B
Rugby players have a reputation (名声) of being big, strong and rude on the field.But Takamasa Hoshiyama, 17, says the reality of rugby is very different from what it looks like.
“Whatever your size or speed, anyone can play rugby，” says the
Island School student, who also plays on the U19 Hong Kong rugby team.
Taka has been playing rugby since he was just four years old,
following in the footsteps of his father.“My dad played rugby and he was keen (渴望的) for me to play，” says Taka.A lot has happened to Taka since his first game with his father.In the 2014 New Year's Day game against the Overseas Barbarians, he was named Man of the Match, and has taken the role of captain in his club team.
And of course, he's grown throughout his years of playing rugby —in more ways than one.“When I started playing, I was scrum-half (争球前卫), usually the smallest guy on the field，” says Taka.“But as I grew, I changed position.Now I am a front row prop — one of the big guys that holds the scrum together.”
“Rugby has done a lot for me，”he says.“I t has really made me focused, and that is thanks to my coaches as well as my teammates who brought me to where I am now.”
Taka says that being part of a team and experiencing that growth together is one of the best parts of the sport.“Rugby creates a unity within the team and helps develop a mutual (相互的) respect between other teams and players，”he explains.“Training is hard and matches are physically demanding, but it is a team sport and you have to do your job for the team.”
Now Taka wants to help others experience the same growth he has.In his free time, he coaches younger rugby teams.He says it is especially rewarding to find “unusual strengths and capabilities within players and encourage them to work on those.”
A．It requires fast speed.
B．It has a role for everyone.
C．It's a game full of violence.
D．It's too competitive for kids.
解析：选B推理判断题。

由第二段Taka说的“Whatever your size or speed, anyone can play rugby”可知，他认为橄榄球运动适合任何人。

6．What has happened to Taka since he started playing rugby?
A．He has realized what his father never could.
B．He has built up both his physical and mental strength.
C．He has played for the Overseas Barbarians for three years.
D．He has taken the role of captain in the Hong Kong rugby team.
解析：选B细节理解题。

由第四段可知，Taka开始打球时因身材最小所以充当争球前卫的角色，而如今因身材变魁梧成为前排支柱球员，由此可知，橄榄球运动增强了Taka的身体素质。

再由第五段的“It has really made me focused”可知，橄榄球运动还让Taka的注意力更加集中。

7．According to Taka, what serves the most important role in playing rugby?
A．Having a high level of physical fitness.
B．Owning some unusual strengths.
C．Building a strong team spirit.
D．Having a fun-loving attitude.
解析：选C推理判断题。

由倒数第二段Taka说的“Rugby creates a unity within the team ...it is a team sport and you have to do your job for the team.”可知，他认为在玩橄榄球运动时，拥有团队精神最重要。

8．What's Taka hoping to do now?
A．To coach national rugby teams.
B．To become a professional rugby player.
C．To get the leading role in his club team.
D．To encourage more people to enjoy rugby.
解析：选D推理判断题。

由最后一段的“Taka wants to help others experience the same growth he has ...it is especially rewarding to find ‘unusual strengths and capabilities within players and encourage them to work on those.’”可知，从橄榄球运动中受益的Taka想让更多的人喜欢这项体育运动。

C
Dressing against the cold is hard when you're a 6,000-pound elephant.But thanks to some generous knitters (编织者) in Mathura, India, a group of elephants have giant handmade sweaters to help them stay warm during the cold winter.When worn with their bright red leg coverings, their new outfits look like comfortable nightclothes for them!
The huge sweaters were made for elephants at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Center.It takes care of 20 blind, lame, or injured elephants.They were saved from abuse (虐
待)．Some lived in circuses, some were bought and sold illegally, and some were not receiving enough care.In India, elephants are sometimes kept in crowded inner cities and used in street performances or for begging.This causes physical and emotional harm to the wild animals.Wildlife SOS provides food, care, and medical attention to those animals.
Because most of the elephants housed at the center are recovering from injuries or are elderly, “it is important to keep our elephants protected from the bitter cold during this extreme winter，” explains Kartick Satyanarayan, the co-founder and CEO of Wildlife SOS.“They are weak and vulnerable (脆弱的), having suffered so much abuse, making it easy for them to catch diseases such as pneumonia (lung infection)．The cold also worsens their arthritis (关节炎), which is a common issue that our saved elephants have to deal with.”
At first, Wildlife SOS made giant jackets out of tarp (防水帆布) for the elephants to wear.Then they asked people in nearby villages to help out by making colorful knitted sweaters.Knitting the sweaters is a big undertaking.Each one takes about four weeks to create, with volunteers working together on the very large sweaters.Wildlife SOS hopes to save 50 more elephants this year — which means there could be a lot more knitting to do!
A．They are made of tarp.
B．They are all in bright red.
C．They are made entirely by hand.
D．They are designed for the elderly.
解析：选C细节理解题。

由第一段的“elephants have giant handmade sweaters”和最后一段的“asked people in nearby villages to help out by making colorful knitted sweaters”可知，为大象专门编织的毛衣是纯手工制作的。

10．What do the 20 elephants who dress in huge sweaters have in common?
A．They are all good at street performances.
B．They all weigh over 6,000 pounds.
C．They were all found in the wild.
D．They were all badly treated.
解析：选D细节理解题。

由第二段的“The huge sweaters were made for elephants ...were saved from abuse.”可知，这二十头穿上毛衣的大象都遭受过虐待。

11．What does Kartick Satyanarayan mainly explain?
A．The current situation of elephants in India.
B．The possibility of better protecting elephants.
C．The necessity of making sweaters for elephants.
D．The reason why Wildlife SOS rescues elephants.
解析：选C段落大意题。

第三段Kartick解释穿上毛衣的这二十头大象大多是年老或者受过伤的，它们身体虚弱，对寒冷和疾病的抵抗力也都非常低，因此本段是Kartick对有必要为这些大象制作毛衣的解释。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.__1__ They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.__2__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__3__ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming, try to do it when you are involved in another task —preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate.“Mindfulness”，being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__4__
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike when your mind has moved slowly away.__5__
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A．Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B．They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C．Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relativity, Coke or Post-it notes.
D．At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E．It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F．Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand.
G．Therefore, it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.
1.选B本段说的是大众印象中的“做白日梦”有哪些弊端，所以只能从B、D两项中
进行选择，再结合此空前后They can ...和They annoy ...句式结构可确定B项为正确答案。

2．选C本段讲了“做白日梦”的许多好处。

结合此空后句中的“such ideas and
inventions”以及选项C中的“relativity, Coke or Post-it notes”可以确定C项为正确答案。

3．选A本段主要讲如何做才能使自己获得“做白日梦”的机会，结合空前的“will help”
和选项A中的“also helps”可知，A项“想一些有趣的事情也有帮助(有助于进入‘做白日梦’
的境界)”为正确答案。

4．选E本段主要讲如何避免不合时宜地“做白日梦”。

空前提到“集中注意力是一些
人用来避免入睡的一种工具”，E项中的“calm and attentive” (沉着和专心)与此相符，选项中
的It指代mindfulness。

5．选G根据前一句中“...you never know what wonderful idea might strike ...”可知，此处
是建议身边放一个笔记本或一台录音机，以便随时记下或录下你的好想法，所以应选择G项。
