第三部分閱讀理解(共10小題；每小題2分,滿分20分)

How many times have you laughed today? Have you ever wondered what makes you laugh? In the whole animal kingdom, only we humans are capable (有能力的) of laughter. On average, we laugh about 17 times a day.

Laughter is a spontaneous reaction of the body to some-thing funny or pleasant. Have you noticed that when you laugh, many parts of your body respond (反應(yīng))? Your face changes expression, your breathing changes, and muscles throughout your body are affected.

An interesting story dates back to 1962. In a school in Tanganyika, in Africa, a group of schoolgirls started laughing uncontrollably over a joke. This laughter became epidemic (傳染的), jumping from one person to the next, spreading across communities, and lasting for six months! So strong was the "laughter epidemic" that schools had to shut down till it ended.

How we laugh remains a mystery. Whatever the reasons, laughter, as the saying goes, "is the best medicine." In fact, science has proven that being happy and laughing can not only keep us healthy and fit but help deal with serious illnesses.

Laughing exercises all the important muscles, and keeps you fit. People have started forming laughter clubs that use laughter to treat illnesses. They meet at specific places at fixed times and laugh together. Laughter spreads, so this exercise works best in groups; once one person starts laughing, others automatically (自動(dòng)地) join in.

56. The underlined word "spontaneous" in the second paragraph probably means "______".

A. perfect            B. strange            C. natural         D. terrible

A new World Calendar is published every year, and provides the latest information about many places and things. For example, you can find the names of past academy-award winners, the names of award-winning athletes, and information about American cities and states.

The book also provides information about other nations. It includes world history, geography, business, science and technology and languages.

It presents the most important and most unusual news stories of the past year. And it gives interesting facts, such as the nation with the most refugees (難民) (Pakistan), the nation with the most vacation days each year (Italy), and the most popular breed (品種) of dog in the United States.

The New York World newspaper published the first World Calendar in 1868. The World Calendar website says the publication has even played a part in American politics. For example, in 1923, Calvin Coolidge was sworn (宣誓) in as president after the sudden death of President Warren Harding. Mr. Coolidge’s father, a judge, read the oath of office from a copy of the World Calendar. The website also says that several recent American presidents have used the book. It says there are photographs of presidents John Kennedy and Bill Clinton that show copies of the World Calendar on or near their desks.

The website also claims that the World Calendar is the best-selling American reference book of all time. It says that more than 80 million copies have been sold.

The World Calendar now also publishes a digital version (版本), as well as a separate calendar for children. The Kids Calendar provides information children might need for school reports. It also has games, puzzles and other activities children enjoy.

60. According to the passage, all the following are available in the new World Calendar EXCEPT ______.

A. information about famous awards in America

B. some interesting news stories

C. introductions to some American cities

D. Calvin Coolidge’s oath of office

61. Who is the owner of the World Calendar, according to the passage?

A. The New York World newspaper.

B. The World Calendar website.

C. John Kennedy.

D. The Kids Calendar.

A. 140         B. 85                C. 55               D. 105

The United States will hold local, state and national elections this Tuesday. It seems that the Democrats (民主黨) may be in a position to end Republican control of one or both houses of Congress.

Seventy percent of the fifty states will elect governors (地方長(zhǎng)官). If the Democrats win four more of these than they have now, the Republicans would also lose their majority at the state level.

So both parties are fighting hard. Elections in America bring a flood of political advertising, especially on television. These messages are often negative (消極的) or attack ads.

Americans traditionally say they dislike negative ads, but political experts say these ads often work. In many cases, the candidates likely to gain from negative ads say that their own campaigns (活動(dòng)) were not involved. Outside groups or national party committees often pay for these ads. Some are about issues, like a candidate’s position on the war in Iraq or immigration. But political ads increasingly seem to be attacking candidates personally.

Some political watchers say this year’s election has brought more negative ads than ever before. Whether this is true remains to be proven.

But some ads have made news, like a Republican National Committee ad against Harold Ford. The ad was based on the fact that last year he attended a Super Bowl party held by the men’s magazine Playboy. The ad showed an actress with bare shoulders saying she met him at the Play boy party. "Harold, call me," she says.

The ad might have seemed humorous, except that the woman is white and Mr. Ford is black.

63. The underlined word "some" in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.

A. campaigns        B. Ads       C. groups or party committees       D. candidates

64. About political ads, the author ______.

A. doesn’t show his own opinion

B. thinks they are negative

C. considers them fair

D. disagrees with them

65. The author mainly discusses ______.

A. American elections

B. the ads campaign behind American elections

C. negative ads in the US

D. political advertising on TV

Recently we asked how you felt about calculators (計(jì)算器) at school. We heard from about thirty people in twelve countries, including a large number of Chinese.

Turbo Zhang writes, "My brain is slow because I have a calculator everywhere, on my mobile phone, on my computer, etc. New technology makes us use everything except our brains."

Joony Zhu says calculators can provide us with answers we may not completely understand. As a student at an engineering college in China, he calls using a calculator "a kind of laziness".

Khaled Hamza from Cairo says calculators have a bad effect because "you don’t need to make an effort to get a result."

Hemin, a math teacher in Kurdistan-Iraq, says good math skills are life skills. So he believes in solving problems with a pencil until high school. "You should take the trouble to work out problems without calculators. Then you come to respect the power of these machines."

But He Wenbo from China says calculators reduce careless mistakes. "When I was young we couldn’t use calculators. But when I entered high school we had to solve a lot of math problems. The calculator made my homework easier."

Michel says, "My handheld calculator has been important in my studies and even in my life." But he also advises, "As we’re enjoying using calculators, be careful to avoid their bad effects."
