He made a decision that more laughter was needed to improve health and deal with the stress of modern living.In 1995, while writing an article for a health journal, Dr Kataria discovered many modern scientific studies describing the benefits of laughter on the human mind and body. In particular, he was impressed by Norman Cousins' book Anatomy of an Illness and the research work by Dr Lee Berk. Then he began to field－test the effect of laughter on himself and others.Starting with just five people, on March 13, 1995, at a public park in his neighborhood, Dr Kataria started the first laughter club. They laughed together in the park to the amusement of bystanders, and the small group quickly grew to more than 50 people within a few days. In the early meetings, they stood in a circle with one person in the center to tell a joke or a funny story. Everybody enjoyed themselves and felt good for the rest of the day. However, after two weeks, their jokes and stories ran out. Some complained that it would be better to discontinue the club than to continue without any jokes. Dr Kataria asked the club members to give him one day to develop a_breakthrough that would solve the problem.That night, Dr Kataria reviewed his research and finally found the answer. Our body cannot differentiate between pretend and genuine laughter. In fact, both produced the same effect. The next morning, the results were amazing. For some, the make－believe laughter quickly turned into real laughter. Soon the group was laughing like never before. The hearty laughter that followed lasted for almost ten minutes. This was the birth of Laughter Yoga.篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了爱笑瑜伽的起源。1.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Madan Kataria________.A.used to be seriousB.was a man of actionC.found his life stressfulD.was an expert in laughing答案：B　推理判断题。由第二段中的最后一句“Then he began to field－test the effect of laughter on himself and others.”可知，Madan Kataria是一位实干家，故选B项。2.After a short period of time, the club members________.A.didn't know what to talk aboutB.doubted whether laughter would helpC.couldn't find any place to get togetherD.showed less interest in Dr Kataria's club答案：A　细节理解题。由第三段中的“... after two weeks, their jokes and stories ran out  ...  to continue without any jokes”可知，两周后他们的笑话和故事都讲完了，不知道该谈论些什么了，故选A项。3.The underlined part “a breakthrough” refers to the discovery that________.A.people may laugh a lot after taking a new type of medicineB.genuine laughter works better than pretend laughterC.laughing a lot is able to help us fight off illnessD.pretend laughter is also helpful to our health答案：D　词义猜测题。由画线词下一段中的“Our body cannot  ...  produced the same effect.”可知，Dr Kataria的突破性发现就是假笑和真笑一样有助于人体健康，故选D项。4.What would be the best title for the text？A.Laughter clubs in IndiaB.Benefits of Laughter YogaC.The origin of Laughter YogaD.Laughter—the best medicine答案：C　标题判断题。由文章最后的“This was the birth of Laughter Yoga.”以及文中相关的介绍可知，本文主要讲述了爱笑瑜伽的起源，故选C项。B(2019·湖南湘东六校下学期高三联考)It is widely believed that smiling means a person is happy, and it usually occurs when they're meeting another person or a group of people. However, a new study led by the body language expert Dr Harry Witchel shows this isn't always the case. In his research, he asked 44 participants aged 18－35 to play a geography quiz game consisting of nine difficult questions so that they often got the answer wrong. Participants seated interacted with a computer alone in a room while their faces were video recorded. After the quiz, the participants were asked to rate their experience using a range of 12 emotions including ‘bored’， ‘interested’ and ‘frustrated’. Meanwhile, their facial expressions were then computer analysed frame by frame in order to judge how much they were smiling based on a scale of between 0 to 1. Dr Witchel said: “According to some researchers, a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness or amusement. However, behavioural ecology theory suggests that all smiles are tools used in social interactions, meaning cheerfulness is neither necessary nor rich for smiling. Our study showed that in these human­computer interaction experiments, smiling isn't driven by happiness; it is associated with subjective involvement (主观参与), which acts like a social fuel for smiling, even when socialising with a computer on your own.” Surprisingly, participants didn't tend to smile during the period when they were trying to figure out the answers. However, they did smile right after the computer game informed them if their answer was correct or wrong. Participants smiled more often when they got the answer wrong. Dr Witchel added：“During these computerised quizzes, smiling was greatly increased just after answering questions incorrectly. This behaviour could be explained by self­ratings of involvement, rather than by ratings of happiness or frustration.”篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。人们普遍认为微笑意味着一个人是快乐的，但是研究表明，微笑仅是社交的需要，并不表明这个人一定是快乐的。5.Why did Dr Witchel use difficult questions in the quiz game? A.To make it hard for participants to answer them correctly.B.To make the answer period last as long as possible.C.To discover the most intelligent participants.D.To create a stressful situation for participants deliberately.答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“In his research, he asked 44 participants aged 18－35 to play a geography quiz game consisting of nine difficult questions so that they often got the answer wrong.”可知，他设计的问题很难是为了让参加试验的人得出错误的答案；据此可知，设计难题的目的是让参与者难以答对题目，故A项正确。6.What can we infer from what Dr Witchel said in Paragraph 4？A.Other researchers' opinion of a real smile is quite right.B.Smiles aren't necessarily useful tools in social interactions.C.Subjective involvement doesn't motivate smiling in social interactions.D.Witchel's study finding is consistent with behavioural ecology   theory.答案：D　推理判断题。根据第四段尾句“Our study showed that in these human­computer interaction experiments, smiling isn't driven by happiness; it is associated with subjective involvement (主观参与), which acts like a social fuel for smiling, even when socialising with a computer on your own.”可知，试验结果表明，微笑不是由快乐驱动的；它与主观参与有关；结合第四段第二句“However, behavioural ecology theory suggests that all smiles are tools used in social interactions, meaning cheerfulness is neither necessary nor rich for smiling.”可知，行为生态学理论认为，所有的微笑都是社会交往中使用的工具，这意味着快乐对微笑来说既不是必要的，也不是丰富的。据此可以推断，研究的结果与行为生态学理论一致，故D项正确。7.What do we know about the text？A．Participants were asked to interact with each other in the quiz.B．Participants in the quiz smiled less often when they got the answer wrong.C．In Dr Witchel's opinion, smiling is connected with subjective involvement.D．Dr Witchel thinks that a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness.答案：C　细节理解题。根据第四段尾句“Our study showed that in these human­computer interaction experiments, smiling isn't driven by happiness; it is associated with subjective involvement (主观参与), which acts like a social fuel for smiling, even when socialising with a computer on your own.”可知，Witchel博士认为，微笑不是由快乐驱动的，它与主观参与有关。故C项正确。8.What can be a suitable title for the text？A．What Contributes to Real Happiness？B．How to Identify Whether a Person Is Really Happy？C．Smiling Doesn't Necessarily Mean HappinessD．People Generally Hold a Wrong View on Happiness答案：C　标题判断题。通读全文，并结合文章第一段第二句“However, a new study led by the body language expert Dr Harry Witchel shows this isn't always the case.”可推知，文章陈述了这样的事实：微笑仅是社交的需要，并不表明这个人一定快乐。故C项最适合作为本文的标题。Ⅲ.短文改错(2019·新疆维吾尔自治区普通高考第二次适应性检测)Many people love proverbs for their wisdom.
