本文介紹了蔡美兒。蔡美兒是美籍華人，出生在美國(guó)。蔡美兒因其育兒方式而出名。她有兩個(gè)女兒，索菲亞和路易莎。她對(duì)她們很嚴(yán)格。她決定讓這兩個(gè)女孩彈樂(lè)器，索菲亞彈鋼琴，路易莎拉小提琴，而且，她們會(huì)彈得最好。同時(shí)，她們學(xué)習(xí)必須是第一名。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“She was born in the year of the tiger, so she called herself Tiger Mother.”可知，她出生在虎年，所以她稱自己為虎媽。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Amy Chua is very famous because of her parenting styles（養(yǎng)育方式）.” 蔡美兒因其育兒方式而出名�？芍�，蔡美兒出名是因?yàn)樗慕甜B(yǎng)方式。故選C。

【3】詞意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“From the moment her daughters were born, she had set targets for them.”從女兒出生的那一刻起，她就為她們定下了目標(biāo)�？芍�，target是“目標(biāo)”的意思。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Sophia could read books and began to play the piano when she was 3 years old.” 可知，索菲亞3歲的時(shí)候就開(kāi)始讀書(shū)和彈鋼琴了。故選B。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“After that, Amy Chua made Louisa do 20 pieces of paper and there were 100 maths problems on each paper.”之后，蔡美兒讓路易莎做了20張紙，每張紙上有100道數(shù)學(xué)題�？芍�，路易莎數(shù)學(xué)考試得了第二名后做了2,000套練習(xí)。故選D。

【6】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容可知，蔡美兒的育兒方式不是從母親那里學(xué)到的。因此選項(xiàng)A不對(duì)；由句子“Amy Chua is a Chinese American, born in the USA”可知，蔡美兒是美籍華人，出生在美國(guó)。因此選項(xiàng)B不對(duì)；根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容可知，蔡美兒對(duì)子女是即嚴(yán)又愛(ài)。所以選項(xiàng)C的說(shuō)法不對(duì)。根據(jù)“She is very strict with them.”她對(duì)他們很嚴(yán)格。故選D。

本題的第3小題是詞義猜測(cè)題。詞義猜測(cè)題是閱讀理解中常見(jiàn)的一種題型，所猜測(cè)詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內(nèi)容。詞義猜測(cè)題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)詞義和語(yǔ)義的能力，突出考查對(duì)語(yǔ)境的分析和把握能力。本題可以利用上下文語(yǔ)境來(lái)猜測(cè)詞意。猜測(cè)任何詞義都離不開(kāi)上下文，所以要借助上下文對(duì)需要猜測(cè)的詞或短語(yǔ)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推測(cè)。

There is an old saying in English, "Laughter is the best medicine". Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects (作用) it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people's health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (內(nèi)啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.
There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body's immune system that is the system which fights infection (感染). In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group — in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells that is the cells which fight infection.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病學(xué)) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients' condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.
