Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good __35__ for the team.
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the__36__ . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup(替补). Unluckily four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a __37__ and the top eight scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a __38__ way to decide.
Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up(阵容).Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a couple of hours, all the __39__ on the team were set except one. Carla and I __40__ for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition between the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead.__41__ I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted __42__ even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla __43__, just by a little bit. Her expression as she __44__ she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, I'll still have the fun of seeing the show up close.
Was I __45__ by not trying as hard as I could? I don't think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn't __46__ it. It won't hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

试题分析:几周以前,校长高迪先生告诉我们,我们学校被选中参加一个游戏表演比赛,我和我最好的朋友卡拉都十分喜欢这个比赛。卡拉想象力丰富,我的历史知识很好,我们都认为自己是参赛的最佳队员。几天后,校长高迪召集对这个比赛感兴趣的同学开会,告诉我们参赛队员五人,另外还有三名候补队员。遗憾的是,有兴趣参赛的学生数是这个数字的四倍多。大家一致同意通过比赛决定最终的参赛选手。昨天,高迪先生主持了比赛,一小会儿后,剩下我和好朋友卡拉竞争最后一个职位了。比赛进行到一半时,我观察卡拉的表情,意识到她比我更想赢这场比赛。我故意落后一点,让卡拉赢了比赛。卡拉获胜时的表情弥补了我不是参赛队员的遗憾。由于我是候补队员,我依然能享受近距离观赛的乐趣。卡拉将是一位十分优秀的选手,我认为让我最好的朋友高兴是一件正确的事。
小题1:此题考查名词,根据语境可知此句的含义是凯拉有丰富的想象力,而我知道很多历史知识,所以我们认为我们都是这个队优秀的入选者。A.意为“入选者” B.成双成对(多指一对男女) C.意为“领袖” D.意为“粉丝”“狂热爱好者”故选A。

Michael went back to Fullerton, his home town. His visit to Fullerton was very special to him. He was born there, he grew up there. But he hadn’t been back there since he finished high school.
He went to places he hadn’t gone to in years. He walked through the park and remembered the days he had walked through that same park with his friend. He passed by the field where he and his friends had played baseball every day after school. And he stood in front of the movie theater and thought about all the Saturday afternoons he had spent there, watching his favorite movie heroes and eating popcorn.
He did things he hadn’t done in a long time. He had some home-made ice cream at the ice cream shop. He rode on the merry-go-round in the park, and he went fishing at the lake. For a little while, he felt like a kid again.
He saw people he hadn’t seen in years. He visited several of his old neighbors. He said hello to the owners of the candy store near his house. And he also went to see Mrs. Riley, his tenth-grade science teacher.

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful(有压力的) life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter(笑声) 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 is naturally good at laughing — it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) 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 silly. 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 real laughter and unreal 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.
小题1:The first Laughter Club was started in __________.
A.IndiaB.AmericaC.BritainD.China
小题2:How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today?
A.Over 300.B.Over 500.C.Over 800.D.Over 1,300.
小题3:How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?
A.Surprised.B.Pleased.C.Nervous.D.Tired.
小题4:When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?
A.After ten minutes. B.After ten hours.
C.After ten seconds. D.After ten days.
小题5:The article mainly tells us __________.
A.young children laugh much more often than adults in a day
B.laughing is one of the best ways to stay healthy
C.many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health
D.real laughter and unreal laughter are both good for health
