Many diseases are caused by things ut f ur cntrl.Dctrs urge us t eat healthy fds, get exercise, stp smking and limit ur alchl intake. 1 And it is free and easy — smiling!
When we smile, the brain wiring gets altered.The chemicals that are released are mre psitive.Smiling is a first step in fighting stress and its harmful effects n human health.
The main cause f heart attacks and strkes is the blckages in bld vessels (血管). 2 The mst cmmn reasn fr these blckages is a build­up f fatty depsits n the inner walls f the arteries (动脉).When we feel stressed r under pressure, ur bdy releases many natural hrmnes including adrenaline and crtisl.When we are stressed fr a lng perid, these stress hrmnes are ever­present in ur bdies.And that, medical researchers warn, may lead t health prblems.

Once we smile, we are relaxed.This relaxatin directly lwers bld pressure, imprves sugar levels in the bld. 5 And it just may prvide a little extra prtectin fr everyne's heart health.
A．But a smile des nt invlve drugs.
B．But there is smething else we can d.
C．Experts say we can cntrl and even prevent them.
D．These blckages prevent bld frm flwing t the heart r the brain.
E．And they are the number ne cause f death arund the wrld.
F．If we are smiling, we are breaking that link between stress and health prblems.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。许多疾病是由我们身体里的某些东西失去控制而引起的，我们可以通过微笑来避免这些疾病的产生；当我们微笑时，大脑会释放有益的化学物质；微笑是对抗压力给人们的健康带来的有害影响的第一步。
1．选B 空前表述许多疾病都是由身体里的某些东西失去控制而引起的，医生敦促我们吃健康的食物、锻炼、戒烟以及限制酒精摄入量，并结合空后一句可知，B项“但是我们可以做其他事情”符合语境，衔接上下文，故选B项。
2．选D 空前表述血管中的堵塞物是心脏病和中风的主要原因，空处应是说明堵塞物的害处，故D项“这些堵塞物阻止血液流向心脏或大脑”符合语境，空前的“the blckages”与D项中的“These blckages”相呼应，故选D项。
3．选G 根据空后一句“Hwever，they t eat.”可知，G项“研究人员说压力和心脏病之间的联系尚不清楚”符合语境，故选G项。
4．选A 空前讲到一个医生告诉他的病人一个小时笑20次，有人可能觉得那好像太多，也有人可能甚至觉得荒唐；空后讲到微笑不像外科手术一样需要开刀，它是免费的，而且没有副作用。由此可知，此空应填一个表示转折的句子，故选A项。

Firstly, in rganic farming, farmers are frbidden t spray chemical pesticides n the plants, s there are n pesticide residues left n them and the fds are healthier and safer.Secndly, farmers use natural waste frm animals, which will be gd fr imprving the cnditin f the sil and reduce envirnment pllutin.
All in all, I'm in favur f rganic farming.
