四、阅读理解。
阅读下面三篇短文，并根据短文内容从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。( 本大题满分20分，每小题2分)
A
An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I’m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have little money.” The other person may say, “Ok, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.”
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no, I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s,” or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They are great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards the person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”
American custom about who pays for dates (约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest.” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.
( )26. The passage tells us _______.
A. how to eat out B. where to eat out
C. what to eat out D. who pays for the meal
( )27. In America, some girls and women _______now.
A. ask men to pay for their meals B. try to pay for the men’s meals
C. try to pay for their own meals D. never have anything outside
( ) 28. “Go Dutch” in this passage means ________.
A. 去饭馆 B. 就餐 C. 订餐 D. 各自付款
B
Do you want to live a happier, less stressful（有压力的）life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world-and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India in 1885 by Dr Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day，”says Dr Kataria. “Everyone's naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest-I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say "ho ho ho, ha ha ha”, while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!
( )29. In which country was the first Laughter Club started?
A. Britain. B. America. C. Australia. D. India.
( )30. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?
A. Surprised. B. Pleased. C. Nervous. D. Stressful.
( )31. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?
A. After a few minutes. B. After a few hours.
C. After a few seconds. D. After a few days.
( )32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.
B. 40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.
C. Adults laugh more often than children in a day.
D. Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.
C
Love is the strongest of all our feelings. There are different kinds of love. For example, the love between parents and children, between friends and so on.
Mothers’ love is the greatest love in the world. Every mother loves her child best. She always gives all good things to her child but ask for nothing.
The love of parents is a great support in their children’s lives. Children can always share their happiness and sadness with their parents. The most precious(珍贵的)thing that parents expect to get is their children’s love.
Between friends, one should care for and encourage the other when he or she is ill or in trouble. This kind of love makes the relationship(关系)between friends close. In the society, it is the most necessary love.
Our world is full of love. Since we are born in love and loved by so many people, we should learn to love others. Love can also wake love. When a student is loved by his or her teachers, he or she will in turn love his or her teachers. The same is true with all people.
( ) 33. Which kind of love is the most necessary in our society?
