(二)赏句式之高 1．Although it's the doctors and nurses who will treat her injury, it's my job to make her feel better. 赏析：本句中使用了although引导的让步状语从句，it's ...who ...强调句型，形式主语it和make复合结构，多种语法结构相融合，提升了表达的层次性。 2．Although the doctors and nurses did a great job, hospitals weren't really designed for children. 赏析：本句中运用了although引导的让步状语从句，加强了语气，强调了主句表达的语意：医院确实不适合孩子。 [提能训练|完成句子] ①Although he is known to only a few, his reputation among them is very great. 虽然他只被少数人知道，但他在这些人中名声却很响。 ②It was because of the delicious local food that she fell in love with the city. 正是因为当地美味的食物，她爱上了这座城市。 ③Our country is developing at an amazing speed, which makes us feel so proud. 我们的国家正在以惊人的速度向前发展，这让我们感到如此自豪。 (三)赏描摹之韵(场景描写) I walk through the doors into the waiting area, where there's a familiar atmosphere of boredom and tension. People sit uncomfortably on plastic chairs, looking through old magazines, all of which have been read hundreds of times previously.Anxious parents do what they can to comfort nervous and crying children. 赏析：walk through the doors呈现了作者穿过一道道门走入候诊区的动态画面，让读者有身临其境之感。后面则描写了候诊区的景象：boredom和tension描绘了候诊区的氛围：充斥着厌烦和紧张情绪；第二句中副词uncomfortably 修饰动词sit，写出了候诊人群内心的焦躁不安，后面的动作looking through ...则进一步诠释了这种焦躁；尾句中的Anxious写出了父母的焦虑情绪， nervous和crying则描写了孩子的紧张和难过。 [提能训练|完成句子] ①He shifted uncomfortably in his seat when I mentioned the accident.当我提到那次事故时，他在座位上不舒服地挪动了一下。 ②As the great day approached, she grew more and more nervous. They tried to comfort her, but she still felt anxious. 随着这个重大日子的临近，她变得越来越紧张。他们努力安慰她，但她仍然感到焦虑。 (四)赏修辞之功 And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick. 赏析：作者此处使用了比喻修辞，将小丑医生的工作比作灵药，生动形象地描述了这一职业的重要性。 [提能训练|尝试用比喻修辞完成句子] ①Hometown is the narrow ticket written by Yu Guangzhong, which always calls for tourists to return home. 故乡，是余光中笔下那张窄窄的船票，总是在呼唤游子归航。 ②A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds. 一个会说不会做的人，就像野草丛生的花园。 　 　笑可以缓解焦虑，笑可以减轻压力，笑有助于健康。生活与学习中，多笑一笑，把烦恼抛之脑后，以轻松、愉悦的心情全身心投入到学习中。笑一笑，十年少。阅读本文，让我们进一步了解笑的好处。 Anxiety isn't funny. Finding humour can be difficult when we live with anxiety. However, if we begin to look for humour, we can find that laughter can be a great coping skill. Researchers have discovered that laughter has many benefits. Among the ways laughter lifts us by increasing our overall well-being and boosting our mental health. When we live with anxiety, our stress hormones pulse through us. This makes us feel tense and anxious. for anything in our life, a good laugh can instantly begin to reduce these harmful stress hormones that are mixed with anxiety. Laughter gets to work immediately, and a regular “diet” of laughter continues to decrease anxiety over time. The act of laughing is similar to deep breathing in its ability to increase the oxygen in our bodies. Combined with reducing stress hormones, the increased oxygen in our bodies helps lead to muscle relaxation. All of this helps reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety. Laughing feels good. It's addictive and we can keep wanting more. When we laugh regularly, our anxiety begins to decrease. When we have humour and give ourselves a chance to laugh a little bit for even a short while each day, we distract our focus. Rather than seeing the world within or without as a worrying place, we start to see it as a good, safe, and perhaps even fun place. We start to see beyond the anxiety. Sure, the anxiety lingers (徘徊) for a while, but every time we laugh, we can reduce it. Introducing intentional laughter into our life decreases our stress hormones. Breathing deeply during the act of laughing relaxes muscles. Thinking about something funny shifts our focus to new things. Having humour regularly helps our outlook become more positive. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 [阅读理解] 1．What can make us feel nervous? A．Pulsing stress hormones. B．Lacking sense of humour. C．Tiredness and sleepiness. D．Feeling eager to get something. 2．Why is deep breathing mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To compare it with taking exercise. B．To suggest people do it more often. C．To show its importance to the body. D．To explain how laughing reduces anxiety. 3．What does paragraph 4 focus on in terms of laughter? A．Its functions. B．Its concept. C．Its causes. D．Its disadvantages. 答案：1～3　ADA [素养积累] 1．由文积词汇 anxiety n．　　　　　 焦虑 cope v. 对付， 妥善处理 benefit n. 益处，好处 well-being n. 健康 boost v. 提高 symptom n. 症状 intentional adj. 故意的，有意的 muscle n. 肌肉 shift v. 改变 outlook n. 观点；见解 2．据文悟句式 句①　when引导时间状语从句；主句中we feel like doing是省略关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词the last thing。 句②　although引导让步状语从句；主句中that are mixed with anxiety是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词stress hormones。 [课时跟踪检测]　　　(标语篇配有教师讲评课件) 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Is it true that laughter is helpful to improve heart health? According to a recent study, the answer is YES! Having a laugh causes the tissue inside the heart to expand and increases oxygen flow around the body. Patients with coronary artery disease (冠心病) who engaged in a course of laughter therapy had reduced inflammation (炎症) and better health, the research found. In the study, scientists carried out a first-of-its-kind experiment 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. Over three months, half were asked to watch two different hour-long comedy programs each week, including popular sitcoms. The other half watched two different serious documentaries, about topics such as politics and religion. 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. 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 (炎症指标), which indicate how much plaque (斑块) has built up in the blood vessels, and whether people are at risk of heart attack or stroke. The results showed that these inflammatory biomarkers 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 the lead researcher, 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 disease conference. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，大笑有助于改善心脏健康，减轻炎症反应，促进全身氧气流量。 1．Which of the following is mentioned in the text?

In 1995, while writing an article for a health journal, Dr Kataria discovered many modern scientific studies describing the benefits of laughter on the human mind and body.In particular, he was impressed by Norman Cousins' book Anatomy of an Illness and the research work by Dr Lee Berk.Then he began to field-test the effect of laughter on himself and others. Starting with just five people, on March 13th, 1995, at a public park in his neighbourhood, Dr Kataria started the first laughter club.They laughed together in the park to the amusement of by-standers, and the small group quickly grew to more than 50 people within a few days.In the early meetings, they stood in a circle with one person in the center to tell a joke or a funny story.Everybody enjoyed themselves and felt good for the rest of the day.However, after two weeks, their jokes and stories ran out.Some complained that it would be better to discontinue the club than to continue without any jokes.Dr Kataria asked the club members to give him one day to develop a breakthrough that would solve the problem. That night, Dr Kataria reviewed his research and finally found the answer.Our body cannot differentiate between pretend and genuine laughter.In fact, both produced the same effect.The next morning, the results were amazing.For some, the make-believe (伪装) laughter quickly turned into real laughter.Soon the group was laughing like never before.The hearty laughter that followed lasted for almost ten minutes.This was the birth of Laughter Yoga. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了大笑瑜伽的起源。 5．What can we infer about Madan Kataria from paragraph 2?
