        When was the last time you laughed a lot? Most people are the victim of an uncontrollable fit of
    laughter at least once in their lives. But when it happens in front of the television cameras, it can become
    an internet sensation.
         Do you think there's anything funny about spicy meat? Swiss finance minister Hans-Rudolf Merz
    seemed to think it was hilarious. Mr. Merz was making a speech in the Swiss parliament on meat imports when he started laughing and couldn't stop. The meat in question is known as "b?ndnerfleisch"- a type of
    air-dried beef product. Herr Merz later admitted that he was amused by the bureaucratic (官僚主义的)
    language in which the bill was written.
         Since then, Mr. Merz has become an internet hit. A video of the incident shows a grey-suited minister
    giggling away, accompanied by applause from his parliamentary colleagues. So far, the video has been
    seen by more than 500,000 people on YouYube and other websites. "I don't understand what he's talking about," said one viewer, "but it's just so funny." The recent publicity will be good news for the minister,
    too. Mr. Merz had been criticized recently for signing away much of Switzerland's banking secrecy, and
    for failing to do enough to help two Swiss citizens who were detained by Libya. But now, with retirement
    a few months away, Mr. Merz may leave on a high note. Some even suggest he may have a future career
    as a comedian.
         Of course, Mr. Merz isn't the first person to crack up on air. BBC Radio 4 newsreader Charlotte
    Green lost control on the programme Today not so long ago. It all happened after a clip of the oldest
    known recording of the human voice was played. A studio member remarked that the 1860 recording of
    a woman singing the French song "Au Clair de la Lune" sounded like a "bee buzzing in a bottle". That
    seemed to set Ms. Green off as she broke down into a fit of the giggles. Later, the editor of the show,
    Ceri Thomas, said most listeners who contacted the show had commented on "how much they had
    enjoyed the moment". He added, "When Charlotte loses it, she really loses it."
         So, why do we get these fits of laughter? Experts say it's a form of release. Nervous tension often
    builds up inside us, especially in those who have got high-pressure, stressful jobs. When stressed out, the
    body constricts (收缩) blood vessels, elevates the production of potentially damaging stress hormones,
    and raises blood pressure. Short periods of stress are normal and not dangerous, but over long periods of
    time stress weakens the immune system and makes heart problems more likely. Under the control of
    self-protecting mechanisms of human body, this pressure needs an outlet, usually manifesting itself through
    tears, anger or laughter- uncontrollable fits of laughter!
         So, beware! That uncontrollable laughing fit could strike at any moment.
    1. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "crack up"?
    A. break up      
    B. cheer up        
    C. laugh away      
    D. catch on
    2. By saying "The recent publicity will be good news for the minister, too. ", the author means
        that the video of the minister's laughing fit_______.
    A. may help him sign away some of Swizerland's banking secrecy.
    B. may help him return to the focus of the public in spite of some negative news.
    C. may help make the public think highly of the minister recently.
    D. may help put off the retirement of the minister.
    3. According to the passage, Charlotte Green lost control on the programme because _______.
    A. the clip of the programme is too old to be used.
    B. she broke down in the studio while making the programme.
    C. a studio member thought she sang the French song badly.
    D. the recording of the French song sounded extremely funny.
    4. Which of the following is true according to the experts?
    A. Those who suffer higher pressure from work are more likely to laugh away.
    B. Uncontrollable laughing fits can help to release the pressure.
    C. Stress outlet can be controlled by ourselves if we try hard.
    D. It is unnecessary to pay attention to short periods of stress because they are not dangerous.
    5. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
    A. uncontrollable fits of laughter is very common among people.
    B. Mr. Merz will be a comedian after retirement.
    C. Charlotte Green will be dismissed due to this incident.
    D. most of the listeners who contacted the show thought it inappropriate for a newsreader to
         laugh away on the programme.

    Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind of football, hockey, golf, or tennis, it may be mountaineering.

    Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

    Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there’re for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend on, there is obviously teamwork.

    The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

    A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

    1. Mountaineering is a sport, which involves　　　　 .

    A. hardship

    B. physical risk

    C. cold

    D. all of the above

    2. The main difference between a sport and a game lies in 　　　　 .

    A. uniform

    B. rules

    C. activity

    D. skills

    3. Mountaineering is also a team sport because 　　　　 .

    A. it involves rules

    B. it involves matches between teams

    C. it requires mental and physical qualities

    D. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing

    4. Which of the following is TRUE?

    A. Mountaineers compete against each other.

    B. Mountaineers compete against other teams.

    C. Mountaineers compete against nature.

    D. Mountaineers compete against international standards.

    5. What is the BEST title for the passage?

    A. Mountaineering.

    B. Mountain Climbers.

    C. Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football.

    D. Mountaineering Is More Dangerous than Other Sports.

    Eating a diet high in processed food(加工食品)increases the risk of depression，research suggests．What's more，peopie who ate plenty of vegetables，fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression，the University College London team found．
    Data on diet among 3，500 middle-aged civil servants(公务员)were compared with their emotional state five years later，a British journal reported．They split the participants into two types of diet--those who ate a diet largely based on whole food，which inc!udes lots of fruit， vegetables and fish，and those who ate a mainly processed food diet，such as sweetened desserts，fried food，processed meat，refined grains and high fat dairy products After accounting for factors such as gender，age，education，physical activity，smoking habits and chronic(慢性的) diseases，they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different diets．
    Those who ate the most wholefood had a 26％ lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood．By contrast，people with a diet high in processed food had a 58％ higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed foods．
    Study author Dr. Archana SinghManoux pointed out there was a chance the finding could be explained by fl lifestyle factor they had not accounted for．
    There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression，but the problem with that is if you live in Britain，the likelihood(可能性)of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high．
    Dr．Andrew McCulloeh，chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation，said，this study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health．
    He added people's diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy．The UK population is consuming less nutritious，fresh produce and more saturated(含饱和脂肪酸的)fats and sugars．

    C．Most of them prefer wholefood to processed food．
    D．Those who ate wholefood generally were happier in the long term．
