Do you think laughter can help you deal with pain？ Scientists from Britain did two experiments（实验）． The first was done in a lab． People wore special wristbands（腕带）． Some of them were asked to watch comedies while others watched serious programs． Then the scientists tightened（勒紧）the wristbands to see how much pain the people could feel．

The other test was done at an art festival． Some people watched a comedy show and others watched a drama（戏剧）． At the same time， they had to put their backs against the wall and keep their legs bent（弯曲的）just like sitting on a chair． They did this before and after the show．

Scientists found that just 15 minutes of laughter improves people's ability to stand pain by 10%．However， the serious programs and the drama didn't make a difference to pain at all．

The study found that the magic power of laughter comes from endorphins（内啡肽）． These are chemicals（化学物质）． They are produced by the human body． They make you feel less pain and can make people feel happier． Exercise can produce endorphins．Your muscles（肌肉）move in and out when you are laughing．Scientists believe that this makes your muscles tiring，so we start to produce endorphins．

Next time you have a headache，get together with a group of Mends，watch a funny movie and laugh．You will soon feel a lot better because laughter is the best medicine．

Nowadays，kuakuaqun or praise groups have become more and more popular on the Internet，Their aim is to comfort young people.These groups provide words of support for those who are unhappy.

Spending just a little money，you can enter such a group.Share your problems or success，and you will receive positive messages soon.These messages，mostly from strangers，will help you feel better.A leader of one of the groups talks about his first purpose，"I want to help people learn to praise others and accept others，praise."

I like the idea of kuakuaqun.However，I think getting praise from strangers online isn't very useful in the long run.This is especially true when you are paying for the praise.These people don't know you，so the praise may not be earnest.Real and meaningful praise comes from the people you know.

With this in mind，we should try to praise our friends and family members when they need some encouragement.Simply saying to a classmate， 'I like you'，can lift his or her confidence.Being kind to others is easy.And it adds the necessary sweetness to make everyone's life better.

（1）Words of support of kuakuaqun are mainly from 　 　.

A．	students
B．	strangers
C．	relatives
D．	classmates

（2）In kuakuaqun you can learn 　 　.

A．	to fight with others
B．	to make friends with others
C．	to draw some pictures
D．	to praise others and accept others' praise

（3）What's the meaning of the underlined word "earnest"？ 　 　

A．	勇敢的.
B．	大量的.
C．	真诚的.
D．	虚拟的.

（4）Kuakuaqun is 　 　according to the passage.

A．	a book
B．	a magazine

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However，some viruses，for example，the coronavirus，are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases，like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur，and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple，safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.

▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses，mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work，telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like，and send B cells（lymphocytes）or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile，B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.

Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different，but their aims are the same.

Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine，the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them，it will try to kill them.The question is：without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them？That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe，it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.

The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine，the viruses are weakened，but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them，so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective，but there is a worry：what might happen once these viruses wake up？

Therefore，although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19，it can be better.

（1）The coronavirus can 　 　.

A．	not be killed
B．	not be found
C．	cause deaths
D．	stop pandemic

（2）Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2？ 　 　

A．	Vaccination can provide us with B cells.
B．	Vaccines are made from different viruses.
C．	Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.
D．	Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.

（3）Compared to the inactivated vaccine，the live﹣attenuated vaccine 　 　.

A．	needs taking more than once
B．	is equally safe
C．	contains viruses that are killed
D．	is more effective

（4）What can we learn from the passage？ 　 　

A．	Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.
B．	The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.
C．	The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.
D．	180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why？Some people think kindness is something out of love and care，while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate （激活）an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood （情绪）.But why and how does it happen？Here are a number of different ways.

Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation，people around may be smiling，too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain（链条）of good feelings to people around？

Secondly，being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly，charities（慈善）also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.

In another recent research，even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind，he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.

The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood，but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood，you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship，doesn't it？

（1）The writer lends in the topic by 　 　.

A．	telling a story
B．	asking questions
C．	giving examples
D．	making a survey

（2）The underlined word"It" in Paragraph 2 refers to" 　 　".

A．	the situation
B．	the family
C．	the kind act
D．	that chain

（3）Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？ 　    　

A．
B．
C．
D．

（4）If you were an editor（编辑），you'd put the above passage in " 　 　"of a newspaper.

A．	Science
B．	Wealth
C．	Invention
D．	Culture

Dogs may be man's best friends，but for Sisu，a stray dog，the unicorn（独角兽）is his best friend.

Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste，according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization （联合国粮农组织）.Supermarkets throw away food that is not sold before its sell﹣by date，while families throw away food that they can't finish eating.

The world's first food bank was founded in the US in 1967.Some people and stores donated （捐赠） extra food to the bank.People could take the food home there if they didn't have money to buy any for themselves.In Shanghai，there is a "shared fridge" in some communities.It is free for everyone to take food from it.

A UK company called The Real Junk Food Project says that food that has passed its sell﹣by date is still safe to eat.They collect this food from supermarkets and sell it in cafes.You only have to pay as much as you feel is necessary.If you don't want to spend money，you can volunteer at the cafes instead.

What else can we do to stop food waste？The answer is simply buying less food.

Share more，throw less
