The first thing that Valy saw when she put n clr-blind crrective glasses was green—the vibrancy (活力) f the grass and tree—and later, the brilliance f red in stp signs and flwers. Valy says it’s unbelievable and she has struggled with certain tpics, especially the painting class in schl and she wuld even paint the cean purple befre that.
Valy wasn’t diagnsed with red-green clr blindness until the furth grade. “Fr the past 17 years, I’ve lived in a ‘black and white mvie’,” the recent Luis E. Dieruff High Schl graduate says. But nt anymre. The transfrmative mment all started with a public speaking class Valy tk. After she made an infrmative speech abut grwing up with her clr deficiency(缺陷), her teacher, Sandy Kile, was inspired t teach the class a mre imprtant life lessn.
Kile made a suggestin that the class shuld reach ut t cmpanies that prduced crrective glasses t see if they wuld dnate a pair t Valy. While Kile encuraged Valy t write a descriptin f living in a wrld with mstly shades f grey and brwn, her classmates wrte accmpanying statements abut why she needed the glasses. “I didn’t expect much fr that,” Valy says. “Prfessr Kile truly believed it was ging t happen but we were nt sure.”
It wasn’t s surprising when the first cmpany turned dwn their request. Then, the class received reply frm the funder f Pilestne Inc., ffering Valy and six ther cmmumity members his glasses fr free. “We started this business by trying t make sme difference t peple,” funder Ben Zhuang says.
Valy is grateful t Kile and her classmates fr their effrts. But Kile says that she is very glad the students have the chance t realize the significance f lending a hand t thse in need, and that being able t aid Valy in changing her life is smething she will never frget the rest f her life.

Peple wh laugh frequently in their everyday life may be better equipped t deal with stressful events ——althugh this des nt seem t apply t the intensity(强度）(strng, medium r weak ) f laughter . These are the findings reprted by a research team frm the University f Basel in the jurnal PLOS ONE.
It is suggested that peple typically laugh 18 times a day. Researchers have als reprted differences related t time f day, age, and sex--fr example, wmen smile mre than men n average. Nw, researchers frm the Department f Psychlgy at the University f Basel have recently cnducted a study n the relatinship between stressful events and laughter in terms f sensed stress in everyday life.
In the study, a sund signal frm a mbile phne app required participants t answer questins eight times a day at irregular intervals(间隔） fr a perid f 14 days. The questins related t the frequency and intensity f laughter and the reasn fr laughing-as well as any stressful events r stress symptms experienced-in the time since the last signal.
Using this methd, the researchers were able t study the relatinships between laughter, stressful events, and physical and psychlgical symptms f stress ("I had a headache" r "I felt restless") as part f everyday life. The newly published analysis was based n data frm 41 psychlgy students, 33 f whm were wmen, with an average age f just under 22.
The first result f the bservatinal study was expected based n the specialist literature: in stages in which the subjects laughed frequently, stressful events were cnnected with lighter symptms f stress. Hwever, the secnd finding was unexpected. When it came t the interactin between stressful events and the intensity f laughter, there was n statistical crrelatin(关联）with stress symptms."This culd be because peple are better at judging the frequency f their laughter, rather than its intensity, ver the last few hurs," says the research team.
28.What des Paragraph 2 intend t shw?
A. The identity f the subjects. B. The purpse f the research.
C. The cnclusin f the new study. D. The basic thery f the experiment.
29.What questin was mst prbably asked in the study accrding t Paragraph 3?
A. Why did yu chse t majr in psychlgy?
B. Which event impressed yu recently?
C. Hw d yu find the given app?
D. What makes yu laugh?
30. Which statement may the research team agree with?
A. Wmen are much friendlier than men.
B. Bth f the results are beynd expectatin.
C. The intensity f laughter is difficult t measure.
D. Stressful events are related t the subjects' ccupatins.
31. What can be the best title fr this text?
A. Laughter acts as a stress reducer
B. Peple in their twenties laugh mre
C. Psychlgy students feel restless mre ften
D. Symptms f stress vary frm persn t persn

M: I d get nervus, s I never think abut ther skaters. I fcuses n the audience hping they enjy it-- then I skate well. If I start thinking abut the judges, then I make mistakes.
W: Yu have t practice every day bviusly. D yu have time fr any hbbies?
M: Nt much. I g swimming whenever I can --that was my first lve befre skating. I'd lve t g hrse riding r play tennis, but I can't fit everything in.
W: I hear that yu're ging t be in a TV shw next week. Yu must take pride in yurself, aren't yu?
M: Yu culd say that again. I always lved the TV shw Ice Champins when I was a child and I really can't believe that I'm ging t be ne f the judges.
W:What kind f things will yu be lking fr as a judge?
M: Well, the skaters shuld shw that they are able t d all the mves withut any prblems. Each skater has a partner. They can't chse wh they skate with but they can decide which music they want t skate t.
