24、There is an old saying in English, “Laughter is the best medicine”. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence 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 rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing.

Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins(内啡肽)in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.

There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune(免疫)system. In an experiment, doctors found the group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. This is because it helps to produce endorphins(内啡肽)in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.

_________, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics(诊所), in which they try to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. Even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.

27、Blogging has become something of a big thing in the last few years. Just like the Internet was 10 years ago, blogging is popular with an underground culture, that is doing it for love and passion(激情).

Blogging is a way of collecting links(链接) to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online. Blogs are basically online diaries which are created for sharing information and ideas.

Dominic, a fifth-grade student, writes: “The blogs give us a chance to communicate between ourselves and encourage us to write more. When we publish on our blog, people across the whole world can reply by using the ‘comments’ link. In this way, they can ask questions or simply tell us what they like. We can then know if people like what we write and this will tell us where we can improve. By reading these comments, we can discover our weaknesses and our strengths. Blogging is a chance to exchange our opinions with the rest of the world rather than just people in our immediate environment.”

Blogging is sweeping the Internet. A recent report states that at least three million Americans have created blogs, with similar numbers being seen worldwide.

Two years ago, Andrew Sullivan decided to set up a Web page himself and used “Blogger. com” to publish some daily thoughts to a few hundred readers. He worked hard at the blog for months for no reward. But the result is that he is now reaching almost a quarter of a million readers a month and making a lot of money.

This, at least, is the idea: a publishing revolution(革命) is coming. “Blogger.com”  could  be  to words what Napster was to music—except this time, it'll really work.

【1】 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Blogs are mainly online chatting with others.

B. Blogging is important in the past few years.

C. Dominic wants to get a chance to be a writer.

Americans.

A. 3 million   B. 750,000

C.  250,000   D. 6 million

【3】From the passage we can see that “Napster” in the last paragraph is probably related (有关系的) to___________.

A. newspapers B. readers C. words D. music

【4】 In the next part of this passage, the writer would most probably tell us ___________.

A. how to make further use of blogging

B. the disadvantages of using blogging

C. how many people will get tired of blogs in the future

D. different opinions about blogging
