26、 Several recent studies have suggested that women experience laughter more than men. According to medical experts, laughter isn't just about having fun—it actually has many health benefits. Studies have shown that the act of laughing can lower blood pressure, reduce stress and improve immune function(免疫功能).
Not only that, but laughter can also provide benefits similar to that of an anti-depressant. When you laugh, your body releases endorphins(内啡肽)which results in a general feeling of health and well-being. Regular laughter can play a role in helping you to avoid many health problems. Thus, not only do women tend to laugh more than men, they are also more likely to "have the last laugh".
According to a study conducted at the Stanford University of Medicine, gender( 性别)can affect the way that a person's brain responds to humor. The study, which involved the monitoring of 10 men and 10 women watching cartoons, shows that women are more likely than their male peers to use the part of the brain that processes rewards. It seemed that women had lower expectations in regard to a reward (in this case, the reward being the punch-line of the joke or cartoon), which resulted in them enjoying the experience more than the men. Men, on the other hand, seemed to expect that they would find the cartoons humorous, and were therefore more likely to be disappointed and find them less amusing.
Women are more likely to respond to men whom they find humorous and men seem to recognize this and do their best to make women laugh. It has been shown that women are more likely to laugh in the presence of men whom they have an attraction towards and men are more likely to be attracted to women who laugh in their presence because it makes them feel more desirable. Obviously, it is more important to men that a woman appreciates their humor.
【1】The studies show that regular laughter can ______.
A.raise blood pressure B.keep us nervous
C.make immune function worse D.keep us healthy and happy
【2】Why do women experience laughter more than men?
A.Because they like telling humorous stories. B.Because they like watching cartoons.
C.Because they expect little of a reward. D.Because they seldom respond to humor.
【3】From the last paragraph we can infer ______.
A.women dislike humorous men B.men dislike humorous women
C.laughter makes women humorous D.humorous men make women happy
【4】What's the main idea of the passage ?
A.Women enjoy humor more than men
B.Laughter has many health benefits
C.Women laugh more than men
D.Humorous men are popular with women

28、Beijing Opera is the most typical of all Chinese traditional dramatic art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from absorbing many other dramatic forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was popular in South China during the 18th century. It is a scenic(戏剧的)art including music, performance, literature, aria(唱腔)and face painting.
Theatrical art forms in many other countries do not present singing, dancing and spoken parts in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the lancer has no speaking role and does not sing either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics(杂技).
Besides its presence in China, Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.
“You will be puzzled all the way through and a little bored from time to time; but you will be charmed and interested. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera even if you know nothing of the dramatic back-ground.” This is how one American traveller described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.
Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!

29、On holidays you' re likely to eat and overeat between family gatherings, office parties and celebrations with friends. 【1】. Here are some tips to help you enjoy holiday food without completely changing your diet:
①. Switch to small plates.
Not only do smaller dishes fill up faster, but the same amount of food looks like more when it's on a small dish. 【2】. But whatever the size of your plate, it's most important to remember to keep it balanced: half for vegetables, a quarter for grains and a quarter for meat.
②. Measure out snacks.
Your favorite holiday movie is on. Take a minute to check the nutrition label (标签) and measure out a serving (一人份) to keep calories under control. Take one popular brand of buttered microwave popcorn for example. 【3】. But the bag contains 2.5 servings. Eat the whole thing on your own, and you'll have eaten 425 calories.
③. Divide a main dish.
Many restaurants serve far more food than one person needs in a single meal. 【4】. Or pack half your main dish to go as soon as it's served. Or choose a small-size option, if available.
④. Stop eating when you feel satisfied.
You don't have to feel too full, or force yourself to clean your plate, before putting down your fork. You're aiming for feeling no longer hungry instead of a complete fullness that indicates you've overdone it.【5】. When you're satisfied, save the rest for tomorrow.
A.Share a main dish with a friend
B.It's important for you to eat more on holidays
C.Eat slowly and pay attention to feelings of hunger
D.Studies show we tend to put on a few pounds this time of year
E.Enjoy a main dish slowly by yourself
F.So you'll be likely to serve yourself less
G.One serving is about 4 cups with 170 calories
