Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound. It has been said that the hall itself is an instrument. It takes the music and makes it larger than life. Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. He was a wealthy man who also gave a lot of money to schools and public libraries. Construction on Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5, 1891.The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E. Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.In 1986, people realized that Carnegie Hall had never kept proper records of its history. Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12,000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Halls concert history.Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Halls history. Question: “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” Answer: “Practise, practise, practise.”31.

Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter can really improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, makes the heart beat quicker and makes people breathe deeper; it also works on several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated（忍耐）the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemical in the brain which diminishes both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics(诊所), in which they help to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. 36According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?ALaughter is good for healthBLaughter can make you become old quicklyCLaughter helps to reduce pain. DLaughter, just like physical exercise, is good for our body.37The underlined word “diminishes” in the third paragraph means “_”.Acauses BstopsCincreases Dreduces38Why do some doctors hold laughter clinics?ABecause they want to earn more money.BBecause they think they will help the patients recover from illnesses quickly.CBecause they want to improve their patients condition.DBecause they want their patients to practice how to laugh39According to the author, we should.Alaugh as much as possibleBwatch more funny filmsCsmile all the time Dspend more time in laughter clinics40What would be the best title for this passage?ABoth laughter and physical exercise are good for healthBLaughter clinics help patients improve their conditionCLaughter can reduce the effects of painDLaughter is the best medicine.（D）GONE WITH THE WINDAuthor: Margaret Mitchell 25（in bookstores） 18(online)Gone With the Wind is a best seller, which tells a story that happened in the American Civil War(美国内战).
