He put up a notice in his neighborhood. In the notice, he called on more people to set off (引爆) fewer firecrackers during this year’s Spring Festival.

Lots of parents agreed with Zhang Wei. They said that they hated the noise of firecrackers. It often woke up their babies easily. And the babies really needed a quiet place to have enough sleep.

More Chinese are looking forward to celebrating the holiday in greener ways. Many people decide not to set off firecrackers. They decided not to waste food. They think that the new ways are fashionable (时尚的).

In my opinion, it’s very important for us to celebrate our traditional festival—the Spring Festival. But it’s more important to reduce air pollution and protect our environment. We had better express our cheerful feeling and best wishes in greener ways. We need more people like Zhang Wei or “Fighter” who uses electronic ways like QQ, Wechat or Blog.

25、When ice cream is frozen, it is almost impossible to scoop it out from the tub. But now an inventor says he has created a scoop to solve this problem. It is all to do with the angle（角度）at which you scoop ice cream.

Rather than using your wrist（手腕 ), Michael Chou, the inventor, suggests pushing the scoop away from you and bringing the power of your arm and chest muscles into play.

His Midnight Scoop has a curved end. It allows you to easily use that power. It is the first change in design since the ice cream scoop was invented in 1897.

Chou calls his invention the Midnight Scoop because he spent many late nights designing it. The final product took 38 redesigns to come to success.

“Every time I scooped ice cream, I couldn’t help but feel there was a better way. I like my ice cream frozen and hard. Melting it with a hot spoon or letting it sit out for half an hour ruins（把……弄糟）it,” he said.

As an aerospace engineer, Chou is familiar with mechanical forces（机械力）. Thus, he could design the scoop to rely on the power of one’s arm and chest.

But, at the same time, he is a 35-year-old father of two. This makes him familiar with ice cream. “That drove me to create the Midnight Scoop, because I needed a fast and efficient way to get ice cream to my son and daughter,” Chou explained.

【1】In the third paragraph, “ that power ” refers to the power of .

A．wealth

B．one’s wrist

C．knowledge

D．one’s arm and chest

【2】The Midnight Scoop is different from the common scoop because .

A．it has a curved end

B．it is often used at midnight

C．it has a heater inside

D．it is designed by 38 inventors

【3】With the help of the Midnight Scoop, we can .

A．be an aerospace engineer

B．taste hot and melting ice cream

C．enjoy frozen and hard ice cream

D．let ice cream sit out for long without ruining it

【4】From the passage, we know Michael Chou .

A．is a father of two sons

B．knows mechanical forces well

C．made no efforts to invent the scoop

D．designed the scoop during working hours

【5】The passage is written to .

A．introduce a new kind of ice cream scoop

B．explain why an engineer is familiar with ice cream

C．describe how the first ice cream scoop was invented in 1897

D．show the muscles in one’s arm is stronger than those in one’s wrist

26、

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. 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 you muscles tired, so we start to produce endorphins. Scientists also found that the only real and relaxing laughter works, not just polite laughter.

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

【1】Scientists knew how much pain the people felt by ________ in the first experiment.

A．eating delicious dishes

B．putting backs against walls

C．tightening special wristbands

D．sitting on comfortable seats

【2】Study found that ________.

A．scientists made people laugh to stand pain

B．some people liked to laugh

C．polite laughter worked on pain as well as real and relaxing laughter

D．laughter made the muscles of the body to move to reduce pain

【3】Endorphins can help the human body ________.

A．keep better build

B．feel less pain

C．get more muscles

D．produce worse results

【4】According to the passage, we can infer that ________.

A．running can produce endorphins

B．watching TV programs can stand pain

C．different kinds of laughter can treat illness

D．muscles can improve people’s ability to laugh

【5】We can probably find this passage in a ________.

A．guide book

B．movie poster
