Jenny is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old girl is from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles, US. She is taking care of three green abalones (鲍鱼) at school.
The students of Violeta Llamas science class, including Jenny, have cared for the sea animals since January. The science class has eight teams. Each team takes turns (轮流) to care for the abalones. Team Five—Jenny, Alexis, Jennifer and Ricardo—have now got their turn.
The abalones are kept in a box of seawater. Every day, Alexis should check whether the water has too much salt. Too much salt is bad for the health of the abalones. Jenny makes fresh seawater. Then the four students work together to clean up the waste in the box and give some food to the abalones.
“Sea life is like a baby. You have to clean them and care for them,” Jennifer said.
Nancy Cruse, a scientist, leads the project. She said the number of green abalones is declining because people have caught too many of them. She said protecting the sea lives now depends on the young students.
“The students love taking care of the abalones,” said Llamas.
“Taking care of the abalones could open the door for those who want to be a sea life scientist or an environment protector,” she also said.
The students’ time with the abalones will end this school year. Cruse and his workers will record the abalones and then let them return to the sea.
61. What does each team take turns to do?
A. Look after the abalones. B. Get water for the class.
C. Have a science class. D. Clean up the science room.
62. What should Alexis check every day?
A. The temperature of the seawater. B. The color of the seawater.
C. The waste of the seawater. D. The salt of the seawater.
63. What does the underlined word “declining” mean?
A. Going up. B. Going down. C. Waking up. D. Lying down.
64. What will the scientist do with the abalones after this school year?
A. Cook and eat them. B. Take them to his working place.
C. Let students continue caring for them. D. Let them return to the sea.
65. What is the main idea of the text?
A. We should keep sea animals. B. We should protect the sea lives.
C. We should be a sea life scientist. D. We should study science well.
【答案】61. A 62. D 63. B 64. D 65. B

阅读下面短文,按要求完成问题。
Do you want to live a happier, healthier life? Try laughing for no reason at all. Now millions of people start their day at Laughter Clubs and many doctors think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
India started the first Laughter Club in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day. Everyone is naturally good at laughing—it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives,” says Dr. Kataria.
Many doctors are interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was nervous at the beginning of the class. In fact, I didn’t like laughing with strangers. Our laughter teacher told us to clap (拍手) our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha”. Though our bodies can’t tell the differences between real laughter and unreal laughter, they still have the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody laughed for real! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. If you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results.

I put a price of $10 on it but it didn’t sell. So after the sale was over, my friend helped me put it on the side of the road with a sign “FREE BIKE”. Five minutes later, a little girl asked whether the bike was really free. My friend said yes. Then the girl rode it away happily.

Jenny is excited to go to school these days. The 13-year-old girl is from South Gate Middle School in Los Angeles, US. She is taking care of three green abalones (鲍鱼) at school.
The students of Violeta Llamas science class, including Jenny, have cared for the sea animals since January. The science class has eight teams. Each team takes turns (轮流) to care for the abalones. Team Five—Jenny, Alexis, Jennifer and Ricardo—have now got their turn.
The abalones are kept in a box of seawater. Every day, Alexis should check whether the water has too much salt. Too much salt is bad for the health of the abalones. Jenny makes fresh seawater. Then the four students work together to clean up the waste in the box and give some food to the abalones.
“Sea life is like a baby. You have to clean them and care for them,” Jennifer said.
Nancy Cruse, a scientist, leads the project. She said the number of green abalones is declining because people have caught too many of them. She said protecting the sea lives now depends on the young students.
“The students love taking care of the abalones,” said Llamas.
“Taking care of the abalones could open the door for those who want to be a sea life scientist or an environment protector,” she also said.
The students’ time with the abalones will end this school year. Cruse and his workers will record the abalones and then let them return to the sea.
61. What does each team take turns to do?
A. Look after the abalones. B. Get water for the class.
C. Have a science class. D. Clean up the science room.
62. What should Alexis check every day?
A. The temperature of the seawater. B. The color of the seawater.
C. The waste of the seawater. D. The salt of the seawater.
63. What does the underlined word “declining” mean?
A. Going up. B. Going down. C. Waking up. D. Lying down.
64. What will the scientist do with the abalones after this school year?
A. Cook and eat them. B. Take them to his working place.
C. Let students continue caring for them. D. Let them return to the sea.
65. What is the main idea of the text?
A. We should keep sea animals. B. We should protect the sea lives.
C. We should be a sea life scientist. D. We should study science well.

Do you want to live a happier, healthier life? Try laughing for no reason at all. Now millions of people start their day at Laughter Clubs and many doctors think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
India started the first Laughter Club in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day. Everyone is naturally good at laughing—it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives,” says Dr. Kataria.
Many doctors are interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was nervous at the beginning of the class. In fact, I didn’t like laughing with strangers. Our laughter teacher told us to clap (拍手) our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha”. Though our bodies can’t tell the differences between real laughter and unreal laughter, they still have the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody laughed for real! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. If you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results.
