medicine.But some researchers at the University
of Oxford think the ability to belly laugh(捧腹
大笑)was unique to early humans.This,they
believe,made our ancestors able to form much
larger groups.
The researchers first tested the pain thresholds
(临界值)of some volunteers.They divided
them into two groups.One group was shown 15
minutes of comedy videos,while the other was
shown boring programs.
Through this experiment,the researchers
found that those who had recently experienced
belly laughs were able to withstand(忍受)up
to 10%more pain than they had done before
watching the videos.To their surprise,the
scientists also found that the other group was
less able to withstand pain after watching 15
minutes of the“boring'”programs.
Professor Robin Dunbar of Oxford University,
who led the research,believed that belly laughs
release chemicals called endorphins(内啡肽)
into the body which make us feel less pain.
However,not all comedy programs had
such effects,according to Prof Dunbar.For
example,though clever stand-up comedy was
found to be enjoyable,it had no effect on raising
pain thresholds."Things that worked very well
were interesting comedies such as Mr Bean.
Situation comedies such as Friends also seemed
to be particularly successful,"he added.
In order to measure endorphin levels,the
researchers put a bag of ice on the volunteers'
arms to see how long they could withstand it.
They found that the greater the increase in pain
thresholds,the greater the amount of endorphins
produced.
The purpose of Prof Dunbar's study was
not to develop a new treatment.Instead,it was
to study the role of laughter in the formation
of human societies two million years ago.
"The next stage will be to see whether
laughing really allows people to keep together
and work as a group better and be friendlier
towards each other.If that is the case,then it
may explain why two million years ago,the
first humans were able to form large communities
of up to 100,"Dunbar added.
1.What was the purpose of Prof Dunbar's study?
A.To test the pain thresholds of humans.
B.To measure the endorphin levels while
laughing.
C.To develop a new kind of medicine that
reduces pain.
D.To explore the influence of laughter on
forming human societies.
2.What does the underlined word“it”refer to
in Paragraph 6?
A.The researcher.B.Endorphin level.
C.The ice.
D.Belly laugh
3.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.More experiments on laughter will be
carried out.
B.People who laugh a lot are friendlier
towards each other.
C.Laughter makes people keep together and
work as a group.
D.The first humans could only form small
communities smaller than 100.
4.Which of the following is NOT true according
to the passage?
A.Endorphins can make us feel less painful.
B.All comedy programs can help us reduce
pain.
C.Mr Bean and Friends are both very successful
in raising pain thresholds.
D.The researchers divided the volunteers
into two groups.

How to Have an Attractive Personality
Being attractive comes more from your
personality than your appearance,and demonstrating
an attractive personality is key to having lasting
relationships.1 The following tips help
foster your ability to fascinate others.
Laugh at yourself.If you make a fool of
yourself,laugh at yourself instead of feeling
embarrassed.It shows that you're comfortable
in your skin.A sense of humour makes someone
more engaging and delightful to be with.2
It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever,but
don't ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate
jokes.
Speak sincerely.Tell people the truth.If
you can't commit to something,it's better to be
honest about it than to have to tell them last
minute that you can't make it.When people
ask for your opinion,you should be honest.3
For instance,if you don't like your friends'
shirt,respond with,"I really like you in blue
instead,”rather than,“I hate it,it's ugly.”
4 If you see value in making others
laugh and in keeping yourself positive,you'll
be a happier person,making others more drawn to
you as a result.A great way to remind you to
laugh more is to have daily jokes on your
phone or email.Set them for a time of day
when you notice yourself start to feel drained.
Have confidence in your body.You don't
have to have the"perfect body"to be confident
in it.People will be more attracted to you if
you dress well and carry yourself well.If you
need a little boost,place sticky notes around
and rude,though.
