5 . Life can be fun, amazing and happy; however, your life may also be stressful, anxious and extremely busy.     1    , but we believe that too much stress can be harmful to your health. One of the best remedies (疗法) to relieve worry, anxiety, and stress is to laugh. A big advantage is that laughing doesn’t cost anything but the benefits are enormous.

    2     ! Two of the physical benefits of laughter are an increase in our ability to avoid being affected by infection and disease and lowered blood pressure. Additional health benefits are increased oxygen flow, reduced stress hormones and relaxed muscle tension. Some studies have shown that people who laugh often have increased life expectation.

Laughter provides so many positive emotional rewards! When we laugh, hormones which help promote our emotions and moods are released. Emotional benefits of laughter include reducing anxiety and increasing our sense of happiness.

Socially, laughter assists in maintaining friendships.     3     . Stronger social and family connections help us acquire a greater sense of health and happiness.

Get together with friends who have a fantastic sense of humor, enjoying their company often. Create a humor notebook with empty pages where you can put down cartoons and jokes that make you laugh. Take some silly family pictures and display them.     4     .

7 . When I was about seven years old, my mother often told me that pork needed to be cooked thoroughly-the harder, the better, because if there was even a little bit of pink in your pork，you could get Trichinosis (旋毛虫病).I didn’t know what Trichinosis was. However, it was described to me as a terrible disease that I didn’t want to get. Therefore, in my life, I hadn’t eaten any pork product before checking to see if it was fully cooked. On most days, I even refused to eat any pork.

Years later, I became a middle-aged father. I was eating dinner in a friend’s house and she was serving pork. I was terrified at some pink in it. I immediately explained to our host and the other guests the danger that was clearly present in this meal. I insisted that the pork should be cooked further, thinking that I had saved everyone with my quick-thinking and keen awareness.

It was only after I went home that evening that I decided to see how many people in our country actually got Trichinosis. I checked online and found out there were less than 15 cases in the entire country that year, and I wasn’t even sure those were from eating undercooked pork.

As adults, we may say things casually to children because we want them to be safe. We may make things seem more dangerous or worse than they actually are. After all, we want children to take what we say seriously. However, we can also overemphasize something and cause fear in children that they may carry with them for the rest of their lives. The bottom line is that our children are listening to us all of the time, and we are setting a good example to them about how adults communicate.

1. How did the author behave when he ate pork as a child?

A．Confusedly.

B．Casually.

C．Cautiously.

D．Curiously.

2. How did the author feel when expressing his opinion in his friend’s house?

A．Proud.

B．Angry.

C．Calm.

D．Foolish.

3. What did the author want to do online after getting home?

A．Check the quality of pork.

B．Give his explanation about pork.

C．Prove his data analysis of Trichinosis right.

D．Find the truth about people with Trichinosis.

4. What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Adults should set a good example to children.

B．Children’s behavior may cause fear in parents.

C．Children often do the opposite of what adults say.

D．Parents’ words may have lasting effects on children.

9 . 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

I was taking a trip from Texas to the Bahamas for a vacation, having prepared for this trip for a long time. After packing all my belongings and heading to the airport, I could only think about all the pleasant times I would have at the tropical（热带）island. I already had everything planned out, first I would go diving, then visit the queen’s stairs, and eventually go swimming with the dolphins. The thoughts made my heart race; I could even smell the fresh ocean breeze right now.

Finally, I made it into the airport, just in time to make my flight. As I boarded the plane, I had a smile stretched along my face. I slid right into my seat, sitting mid row right in the middle of two other passengers. One of them was a fairly attractive young female and the other was an elderly lady who looked to be in her 70s. Her hair was as gray as a thunderstorm cloud and the wrinkles on her skin matched the ones on my shirt.

“We should depart in about five minutes,” The pilot responded. At that time, I had no idea what was soon incoming after this announcement. I used to fly with my mom a whole bunch of times as a kid, the people beside me seeming to be taking it well as well.

I went to sleep and woke up to various screaming and yelling on the plane; everything was so chaotic that it looked straight out of a movie scene. The lights in the airplane started flickering（闪烁）, and I could feel the bumps the plane was making. Was I still dreaming? I looked to my left and the seat was empty! Sweat started to run down my face. The young female was gone!

“Mommy!” A little girl screamed. I couldn’t control it anymore and tears started rolling down my face. The plane shook more, seeming the end was nearing.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing an extreme clear air turbulence（乱流）,” the pilot explained. “The plane is being adjusted. Please remain seated.”

注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The pilot tried to take control of the situation at hand, but in vain（徒劳）.
