    　　There is an English saying that “Laughter is the best medicine．” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously．Now however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body．They have found that laughter can really 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 hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles．It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise．It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on 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 effects of pain on the body．In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs．The group that tolerated(忍耐)the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program．The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes 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．

    　　What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement．Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead．If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined．You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful．At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings．They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up．If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly．

    　　A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day．On the other hand, black is depressing．Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active．It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray．

    　　Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things．Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike．And don’t forget that anyone can guess about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade．

    Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water — drink recycled sewage (污水) or die.

    With the drought continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified waste water for drinking, even though there is great disagreement to the measure.

    Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier. “I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water, ”said Peter Beattie. “These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. There's no choice. It's liquid gold, it's a matter of life and death.”  

    Beattie said Australia's second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.

    Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.  

    But Australians have never liked the idea.  

    To try to change the way Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have backed Queensland’s move. "I am very strongly in favour of recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely," Howard said.  

    Turnbull added that Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water. "All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall," he said.

    1．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

    A．Queensland is the second largest state in Australia.

    B．Some European countries have taken the measures already.

    C．Queensland suffers most from the drought among the other states.

    D．Australians usually depend on rainfall for their water sources.

    2．From the passage, it can be inferred that______.

    A．other ways to solve the water shortage may be discussed and discovered

    B．many Australians like the idea of drinking recycled water

    C．big cities in other states will not follow Queensland

    D．Britain faces the same drought problem as Australia does

    3．What does the underlined word “backed” probably mean?

    A．supported        B．adopted            C．changed    D．fell behind

    4．The title for this passage would probably be ______.

    A．Live or Die? A Life or Death Decision Over Water

    B．A Perfect Solution to Water Shortage

    C．No to Recycled Water

    D．Rainfall or Sewage? No One Cares

    We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change for I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forbears (ancestors) prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.
    The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs（继承人）of that first revolution.
    Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe (enemy) alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
    Let every nation know whether it wishes us well or ill that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge (promise solemny) and more.
    In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.
    And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the Freedom of Man.
    Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.
    【小题1】What should friends and foes know?

    A．That the United States is powerful.
    B．That a new generation of Americans are responsible for their government.
    C．That the United States is governed by liberals.
    D．The rights of man come from the hand of God.
    【小题2】What is Kennedy’s promise to the world?
    A．To support liberty.
    B．To abolish all forms of human poverty.
    C．To visit each country at least once.
    D．To support and friend.
    【小题3】What should citizens of the world ask of America?
    A．How America can help them.
    B．If America plans to invade their country.
    C．What they can do for freedom.
    D．What they can do for America.
    【小题4】Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Human beings have the power to put an end to all forms of poverty.
    B．We should remember we are the first revolution.
    C．Our nation has always been committed to human rights.
    D．We should assure the survival and the success of liberty.
