Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body .They have found that laughter really can improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body .People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts ,blood pressure ,breathing and muscles .It was found that laughter had similar effects to physical exercise .It increases blood pressure ,the heart beating and 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 beneficial .Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body .In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programmes. The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny programme. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain .As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help 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 beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter .46. Doctors have proved the following EXCEPT that .A. smiling does good to health B. laughter can be toleratedC. there is a way to reduce pain D. laughter can work the muscles in the feet 47.

Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them. Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.Detail everything and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans. You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesnt work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. Its just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesnt work, one of the other ones will. Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself. Dont try to tackle more things all at a time. All that is to delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.Last but not least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself. Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money. So, dont be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills necessary to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.Title: Tips on how to be (1)_ in your lifeTipsDetails(2)_(3)_ down your planList everything you needList (4)_ you will followTo make your plan happen Prepare three (5)_ ways to carry out your planTo (6) _ that you can have some other choices when one way doesnt work(7) _ to finish at least part of your plan if not allDo everything (8)_ your own time-frameTo show yourself you are determined to get things started and caring about the resultsDo one thing at onceStick to the order of your planTo save your interest, motivation and energyFinish what you have startedTo get your plan (9)_out thoroughly(10)_ You shouldnt be afraid of organization because its really worthwhile.请将四、五、六三大题的答案填在答题纸上。五、单词拼写1.
