In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past . New medicines and machines are developing every day to extend life. However, some people , including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they say that people should have the right（權(quán)利）to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself, and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable . They say that people should be allowed to die with dignity（尊嚴(yán)）and to decide when they want to die. Others don’t agree and say that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite （明確的）answer.

試題分析：
小題1:細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)對文中語句they say that people should have the right（權(quán)利）to die when they want的理解，可知隨著人們生活的提高以及醫(yī)療條件的改善，壽命延長了，但是人們也有死的權(quán)利，故選B

點評：該短文主要介紹了當(dāng)今社會隨著生活及醫(yī)療條件的改善，人們的壽命延長了，但是有些人在生活不能自理的情況下有權(quán)利選擇死亡，這要由他們自己來決定，對于這個問題，眾說紛紜，當(dāng)然延長生命是醫(yī)生的責(zé)任

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world — and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria, “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, 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 quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest — I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real — and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!
小題1:The first Laughter Club was started in _____.
A．BritainB．AmericaC．AustraliaD．India
小題2:The writer felt _____ at the beginning of the class?
A．surprisedB．pleasedC．nervousD．stressful
小題3:The people in the club began to laugh for real _____?
A．a(chǎn)fter ten minutesB．a(chǎn)fter ten hoursC．a(chǎn)fter a few seconds D．a(chǎn)fter ten days
小題4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.
B．40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.
C．Adults laugh more often than children in a day.
D．Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.

Sales of laptop computers passed desktops in the U.S. for the first time ever this fall, according to market-research firm IDC. That's bad news for backs, necks and shoulders.
Laptops are bad for our body. When you work at a computer, the keyboard should be at elbow height and the monitor should be roughly at eye level, so you can sit well in a chair. But most users simply set their laptops on a desk or table. The keyboard is too high, which makes your arms reach up, your shoulders feel tired and your wrists bend down. The monitor is too low, which pulls your head and neck forward and down and your back may feel hurt.
That's OK if you use your laptop for a short time. But if you use one for hours without stopping – as do millions of college students, business travelers, telecommuters, video-gamers and growing numbers of office workers – your body may feel hurt. Ergonomics experts have warned about laptop problems for years. But people still like laptops better than the desktops. And they use laptops anywhere – in bed, on the floor – in all kinds of positions.
“How can a mouse or a keyboard hurt you?” says Thomas Caffrey, the founder of Myofactors LLC, “Wrong positions can be bad for your body. As time goes by, a wrong position can lead to pain in the neck, shoulders, back and arms, as well as headaches.”
小題1:When you work at a computer, the keyboard should be ________.
A．a(chǎn)t elbow heightB．a(chǎn)t eye height
C．on a deskD．on a table
小題2:The writer asks us not to use the laptop ________.
A．for a short time B．to play video games
C．for hours without stopping D．to buy things on the Internet
小題3:From the passage, we know that laptop computers ________.
A．a(chǎn)re not so popular as the desktops
B．a(chǎn)re more popular than the desktops
C．a(chǎn)re not bad for our body
D．have no mouse now
小題4:Using a laptop in a wrong position may make ________.
A．people’s sight lowerB．people have cancer
C．people’s arm longerD．people feel pain in the body
小題5:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．When you use a laptop, you should put your monitor at eye height.
B．Laptop computers sold more than desktops this autumn.
C．To keep healthy, you should use laptop computers.
D．Business travelers often use the laptop computers for a long time.

When July comes, children know they’ll have the final exams and the school year will end soon. Boys and girls will have a nearly two months’ holiday, and they’ll leave school by train or by car to return home to see their fathers and mothers.
The summer holiday is the best time of the year for most students. The weather is good, so they can spend most of their time playing outside .If one lives in the country, he can go on a trip into the woods or in the fields. If one lives in a big city, he can go to a park to play.

There are many things you can do to improve your memory. Among them are many kinds of useful ways are well as taking special care of your health.
It is important that you make yourself excited to make your memory more active. You can do this by doing some new activities and by changing your daily habits. Learning a new skill helps your brain（大腦）to develop. When trying to remember something, you should pay special attention to the most important things about it .Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
An excellent way to help memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest. When you are asleep, your brain stores memory. Not enough sleep can cause problems with storing information. And being tired will also stop you from being able to think clearly and well.
In order to keep your mind on your work, you must be free from worry. Generally keeping fit and normal health checks are both important as well-not just for improving your memory.
