Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve peoples health.Tests are carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watch funny films while doctors check their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It is found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works 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 effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produce pain in groups of students who listen to different radio programmes. 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, in which they try 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.1. Doctors believe the following EXCEPT that _.A. smiling does good to healthB. laughter can be toleratedC. there is a way to reduce painD. laughter can work the muscles in the feet2. The main idea of the passage is _.A. laughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human bodyB. smile can produce the same effects as laughterC. pain can be reduced by laughterD. laughter is the best medicine3.

And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style（风格）. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk” . The contents on his show are as surprising as can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex, cheating, and hate, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives.Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top. But Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The shows main viewers are middleclass Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and ability to deal with lifes tough problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society.These are 18-to-21-year-olds whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the shows exploitation.1. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Spring and the Oprah Winfrey are _.A. more interesting B. unusually popularC. more detailed D. more formal2. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows _. A. remain interested in them B. are ready to face up to them C. remain cold to them D. are willing to get away from them 3. Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

B. exploit the weaknesses in human nature C. appear at different times of the day D. attract different people 4
