23、 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 ti
24、mes a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyones naturally good at laughing its the universal language. 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 (效果) of laughter on our health
25、. 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
26、 at the beginning of the class, to be honest I wasnt 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 cant tell the difference betwee
27、n 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 couldnt stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if youre under
28、 stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!54. In which country was the first Laughter Club started? A. Britain. B. America. C. Australia. D. India.55.

30、are good friends. C. Adults laugh more often than children in a day. D. Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.（C） Each year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ben knows that this day honors an important man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the sma
31、ll-world theory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King. Bens mom has a close friend, Amy. Amys uncle, Mark, once met and spoke to John Carter, the son of President Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King. In a way, Ben is only “five people away” from Martin Luther King Jr. The small-world theory says that e
32、veryone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she kn
33、ows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom, but he hasnt met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the c
34、hain continues, Amys uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world. The small-world theory has a lot to do wi
35、th math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 100 50 50 50 50 50 = 31.25 109. This number
36、is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world. Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites
37、people to think a little more about their places in the world.58. Ben is two degrees away from _. A. Jimmy Carter B. John Carter C. Amy D. Mark 59. What is the meaning of “degrees of separation” in Paragraph 2? A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people. C. The steps of knowing s

39、A. the small-world theory works B. more research is needed to prove the theory C. six degrees are needed to know the strangers D. the writers purpose is to help people find out their places（D）I was in line waiting to pay.

43、change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didnt need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said
