The old adage that “laughter is the best medicine” may contain an element of truth when it comes to heart health. A study has demonstrated that having a chuckle causes the tissue inside the heart to expand and increases oxygen flow around the body. Patients with coronary artery disease who engaged in a course of laughter therapy had reduced inflammation and better health, the research found. “Our study found that laughter therapy increased the functional capacity of the cardiovascular system，” said the lead author, Prof Marco Saffi, of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre in Brazil. The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology in Amsterdam, the world's largest heart conference. In the trial, scientists carried out a first-of-its-kind study to examine if laughter therapy could improve symptoms of patients with heart disease. It involved 26 adults with an average age of 64, all diagnosed with coronary artery disease, caused by plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over three months, half were asked to watch two different hour-long comedy programmes each week, including popular sitcoms. The other half watched two different serious documentaries, about topics such as politics or the Amazon rainforest. At the end of the 12-week study period, the comedy group improved by 10% in a test measuring how much oxygen their heart could pump around the body. 学生用书第27页 The group also improved in a second measure that tested how well arteries can expand. They also had blood tests to measure several inflammatory biomarkers, which indicate how much plaque has built up in the blood vessels, and whether people are at risk of heart attack or stroke. The results showed that these inflammatory markers had significantly reduced compared with the control group. “When patients with coronary artery disease arrive at hospital, they have a lot of inflammatory biomarkers，” said Saffi. “Inflammation is a huge part of the process of atherosclerosis, when plaque builds up in the arteries.” This study found that laughter therapy is a good intervention that could help reduce that inflammation and decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke. 【词海拾贝】 1．demonstrate v.　　　 　　 证明 2．therapy n. 治疗，疗法 3．capacity n. 容量，容纳能力 4．trial n. 试验 5．symptom n. 症状 6．intervention n. 干预，干涉 【阅读理解】 阅读以上文本，回答以下问题 1．What does the passage mainly about?

This year，it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother，Jason，was the winner.Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides，but I was determined to prove my point.All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table，with my mom filming the annual event.I'm unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter，but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time. With the pumpkin resting on the table，hole uppermost，I bent over and pressed my head against the opening.At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then，as I went on with my task，unwilling to quit，my nose briefly prevented entry.Finally I managed to put my whole head into it，like a cork(软木塞) forced into a bottle.I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders. My excitement was short-lived.The pumpkin was heavy.“I'm going to set it down，now，” I said，and with Jason helping to support its weight，I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest.It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in.When I pulled hard，my nose got in the way.I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle，but it was no use.“I can't get it out！” I shouted，my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed space. 学生用书第28页 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer.________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ That video was posted the day before Halloween.__________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ [读后续写四步曲] 第一步　通读全文，理清脉络 1．读要素，弄懂故事大意 生活趣事可涉及生活中的尴尬窘境的解决等，在续写过程中常描写人物的欢笑。本文主要讲述了作者将头塞进南瓜却被卡在里面的趣事。 2．读人物，理清人物关系 I, my dad, my mom, my three brothers and my sister. 3．读时态，确定主体时态 一般过去时为主 4．读结构，了解叙述方式 第1段：交代事件：挑南瓜比赛。 第2段：挑完南瓜忘记称重，考虑把头塞进南瓜证明自己的南瓜大。 第3段：把头塞进南瓜的过程。 第4段：成功将头塞进南瓜却被卡住，无法拿出。 原文是按照事件发生的顺序来写的，我们在构思续写时应从这个叙述方式去进行拓展。 5．读语言，把握语言特色 原文中的语言特色： (1)动作描写 I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it... I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders. I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. When I pulled hard，my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle，but it was no use. (2)情感描写 I was determined to prove my point. I'm unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter. ...as I went on with my task，unwilling to quit... My excitement was short-lived. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table... (3)心理描写 Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides. I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. 第二步　依据首句，构思框架 1．读懂两段首句 第一段首句译文：虽然我被卡住只有五六分钟，但感觉要长得多。 第二段首句译文：这段视频是在万圣节的前一天发布的。 第一段框架：叙述作者如何脱困，可描写作者害怕得哭了，引来父亲或兄弟姐妹帮忙。 第二段框架：录制视频被发到网上后网民的反应、作者的感悟。 2．写好三个衔接句 第一段首句后的衔接句：Growing more panicked, I began to cry. 第一段尾句：Then Mom told me she had just filmed me managing to pull my head out of the pumpkin. 学生用书第29页 第二段首句后的衔接句：Surprisingly, it became a hit that the video started racking up hundreds of thousands of views. 3．写好一个结尾句 I would say I learned from my lesson—look before you leap! 第三步　增加细节，展开续写 基于第一段的框架，我们可以补充以下细节： 头被南瓜卡住出不来哭泣(焦虑害怕)→父亲帮作者把头从南瓜中弄出来(如释重负)→妈妈说已经把视频拍摄下来。 基于第二段的框架，我们可以补充以下细节： 上传视频→视频走红(尴尬难为情)→回忆往事(开心)。 第四步　检查优化，整洁誊写 I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer.Growing more panicked, I began to cry. Fortunately, hearing me crying, Dad came and helped me lay my head on the table, so my neck could rest for a while. Then he said to me “Listen, honey. I have to cut this pumpkin in half.” I had no choice but to keep still with my eyes tightly closed and listen to the knife moving on the pumpkin. Moments later，my head was finally released from this horrible pumpkin cage. Then Mom told me she had just filmed me managing to pull my head out of the pumpkin. That video was posted the day before Halloween.Surprisingly, it became a hit that the video started racking up hundreds of thousands of views. At the very beginning, hardly could I contain my embarrassment when I was recognized as the one in the video. However, with time going by, my life was back on track. Whenever I thought about the day on which I got my head stuck in a pumpkin. I couldn't help but laugh out loudly. I would say I learned from my lesson—look before you leap! Xiangsheng, a Traditional Art in China Xiangsheng, sometimes translated as crosstalk, is a traditional Chinese comedic performance in the form of a dialogue between two performers or more, even a solo monologue(独角戏). 相声，有时被翻译为crosstalk，是一种传统的中国喜剧表演形式，由两个或两个以上的表演者对话，或者单口说唱。 The language, rich in puns(双关语)and allusions, is delivered in a rapid, bantering(逗乐)style.Xiangsheng is one of China's foremost performing arts, and is typically performed in the Beijing dialect. 这种语言富含双关语和典故，以一种快速诙谐的方式传递。相声是中国重要的艺术形式之一，主要用北京方言。 Xiangsheng rose as a performing act during the Ming Dynasty. From the Qing Dynasty to the 1920s, Xiangsheng gradually developed to become a style of comedic monologue. Later Xiangsheng came to be performed as a dialogue and sometimes even in groups of three or more. 相声作为一种表演形式起源于明朝，从清朝到20世纪20年代，逐渐发展成为单口相声，然后逐步发展为对口相声，甚至是群口相声。 The earliest Xiangsheng comedian known by name is Zhang Sanlu, who performed in the mid-nineteenth century. 张三禄是最早的相声艺人，他主要活跃于19世纪中期。 单元检测卷(一)　Unit 1　Laugh out loud！ (时间：120分钟　满分：150分) (本栏目内容，在学生用书中以独立形式分册装订！) 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一个小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What is the man going to watch?

As we were leaving, Happy and Ben handed each of us a shopping bag filled with the bounty (慷慨) of the day, already packaged and frozen. What a delightful gift!

The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been around since ancient times. In his 1905 book, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, Sigmund Freud argued that humor is the highest of the psyche's defense mechanism (机制), capable of turning anxiety into pleasure. There are four humor styles. Affiliative humor refers to jokes about things that might be commonly considered funny, which is usually employed to improve relationships or make others laugh. If you've ever shared a funny picture with a coworker, you've used affiliative humor. Self-enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result. Aggressive humor is laughing at the expense of others, which often involves sarcasm (讽刺), teasing, and criticism. Self-defeating humor is the art of putting yourself down to gain favor from your peers, which is possibly used by someone who's targeted by bullies. Each style of humor actually carries a different influence, when it comes to mental health. Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher at The University of Western Ontario, says people using self-enhancing humor are less likely to show signs of loneliness and poor relationships with others. By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humor styles can hint_at trouble. “We find that self-defeating humor is the most concerning style as it is also linked with loneliness and feelings of not mattering. Those with an aggressive humor style may not experience loneliness as much, however, since they rely on group dynamics (群体动力) in order to make fun of their peers，” says Schermer. Even if you tend to favor more negative humor styles, there's no reason to lose heart. Schermer says people can develop a positive, self-enhancing humor style by concentrating on the lighter and more humorous aspects of life. As author Kurt Vonnegut once wrote, “Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties. I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过一本书——Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious，介绍了四种不同的幽默类型。 28．Why is Sigmund Freud's book mentioned in Paragraph 1? A．To show the importance of mental health. B．To stress the role of humor. C．To persuade people to stay positive. D．To introduce ancient jokes to us. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，第一段提到这本书是为了强调幽默的作用。故选B。 29．According to the text, which kind of humor may you use to relieve pressure? A．Affiliative humor. B．Self-enhancing humor. C．Aggressive humor. D．Self-defeating humor. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“Self-enhancing humor involves being able to laugh at yourself, often used as a way for you to deal with stress or difficulties and feel better as a result.”可知，用于缓解压力的是自我提升式幽默，故选B。 30．What does the underlined phrase “hint at” probably mean in the third paragraph? A．Signal. B．Explain. C．Prevent. D．Solve. 答案：A 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychological researcher...poor relationships with others.”以及“By contrast, both aggressive and self-defeating humor styles”可知，使用自我提升式幽默的人不太可能表现出孤独和与他人关系不好的迹象。相比之下，攻击性和自我挫败的幽默风格都可能暗示出麻烦，故画线词意思是“暗示”。故选A。 31．Which of the following will Kurt Vonnegut probably agree with? A．Humor is difficult to control. B．Crying is a good way of relief. C．Humor is a double-edged sword. D．Laughter is the best cure for stress. 答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Laughter and tears are both responses to worries and anxieties. I prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”可知，Kurt Vonnegut更喜欢笑，可得出他可能同意“笑是治疗压力的最好方法”这一观点。故选D。 D (2024·广东省河源市高二上期中) Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture. Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. This is the period of time when we first arrive in a country where everything about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be suffering from “jet lag” but we are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. Unfortunately, after we have settled down into our new life, we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland and our family, friends, pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. The third stage comes when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor. The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with most problems that occur. You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don't know about. This is called “reverse culture shock”. Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native culture and find that you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle! 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心理学家告诉我们，当我们进入并生活在一种新的文化环境中时，会经历四个基本阶段的文化冲击，还有一个人们没有预料的反转期。 32．When does culture shock happen? A．When you reach your teens. B．When you begin an urban life. C．When you go to live in a foreign culture. D．When you meet foreign people for the first time. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容及第二段内容和最后一段“There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don't know about.”可知，当人们进入一个新的文化环境中，即开始生活在外国文化中，会发生文化冲击，故选C。 33．How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock? A．Happy and excited. B．Bored and homesick. C．Lonely and depressed. D．Angry and frustrated. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，在文化冲击的第一阶段，你会感觉快乐和兴奋，故选A。 34．How could the third stage be described? A．Adjustment. B．Rejection. C．Enthusiasm. D．Embarrassment. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，在文化冲击的第三阶段你开始学习在新环境中照顾好自己，你会变得更强大。由此推知，你在调整自己适应环境，故文化冲击的第三阶段被称为“调整阶段”，故选A。 35．Why might reverse culture shock be a problem? A．It hardly ever happens. B．It is extremely stressful. C．It is out of expectation. D．It only happens to young people. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“There is a fifth stage of culture shock which many people don't know about.”可知，逆转文化冲击可能成为一个问题，这是因为人们对逆转文化冲击不了解，对发生的一切出乎意料，故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2024·江西省景德镇市高二上期中) Do You Laugh Too Little?
