However, it is really true and simple. The sense of humor, laughter and play plays an important part in keeping you healthy.Treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. Laughter is infectious. Have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. You can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger.Play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. We are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it's for children. Physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. While the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(認(rèn)知的) falling.Anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. So we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, more interesting and happier.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要介紹了幽默、大笑和玩耍給人們的健康帶來(lái)的好處。1What does the underlined word “infectious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?APlaying an important role.BKeeping people in high spirits.CQuickly influencing other people.DPreventing illness from spreading.C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段第四句“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness”可知，當(dāng)人們分享笑容時(shí)，人們的關(guān)系更親密，人們也會(huì)更加快樂(lè)。故infectious在此處意思為迅速影響其他人。2What can laughter increase according to the author?ACognitive ability.BGood relationships.CA sense of humor.DHappiness and trust.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“When laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger”可知，在作者看來(lái)大笑能使人們之間的關(guān)系更親密。3What does the author think the old should do?AThey should have a good rest.BThey should play like children.CThey should prevent cognitive falling.DThey should take part in physical play.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“However, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as it's for children.

It's a common problem. And it can be harmful, as previous research has shown that people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lower well­being, reported the Association for Psychological Science in the US. But a new study has found a way to deal with this problem: Be more connected to your future self.Psychologists think that each person believes that they are really two people：“Present Me” and “Future Me”. “People act as if they prefer their current selves' needs and desires to those of their future selves，” wrote psychologists Neil Lewis and Daphna Oyserman.Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make “Present Me” imagine exactly how “Future Me” would feel the night before a big paper was due, though“Present Me”hadn't started yet. They made “Present Me” think about a far­off event a number of days away, not months or years.Thinking about events in this way meant that something like a friend's wedding seemed 16.3 days sooner when considered in days rather than months and 11.4 months sooner when considered in months rather than years.The researchers also tried to find out whether people would take action sooner if they were told a certain event was happening in several days rather than years. For example, participants imagined they had a newborn child, and that the child would need to go to college in either 18 years or 6，570 days. The researchers found those in the “days” condition planned to start saving four times sooner than those in the “years” condition.So if you think of your life in days instead of years, you may get things done quicker.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文主要探究了一種應(yīng)對(duì)拖延癥的方法。5What did Oyserman and Lewis intend to do through their study?ATo work on a solution to test if someone is a procrastinator.BTo find out whether human beings usually have two different characters.CTo discover procrastinators are more likely to have a lower sense of well­being.DTo prove it's helpful to connect our current selves more with future selves.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)對(duì)第三段的整體理解可知，Oyserman和Lewis想要通過(guò)他們的研究去驗(yàn)證把“現(xiàn)在的我”和“將來(lái)的我”聯(lián)系起來(lái)是否會(huì)對(duì)應(yīng)對(duì)拖延癥有一定的幫助，故選D。6The underlined part “this way” in Paragraph 4 refers to “ ”Asetting up tough deadlinesBfollowing schedules strictlyCcounting in smaller units of timeDimagining how your future self will feelC推理判斷題。承接第三段最后一句“They made Present Me think about a far­off event a number of days away, not months or years”可推知，畫(huà)線部分是指用更小的時(shí)間單位去計(jì)量，故選C。7What helps prevent people from procrastinating?AComparing their future selves with present selves.BConsidering their current selves' needs and desires.CThinking about far­off events in days rather than years.DMarking important events on a calendar as a reminder.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的內(nèi)容以及最后一段“So if you think of your life in days instead of years, you may get things done quicker”可推知，用天而不是用年去考慮將來(lái)所發(fā)生的事情會(huì)幫助拖延者不再拖延，故選C。8What does the passage mainly talk about?AA way to get things done in time.BThe harmful effects of procrastination.CThe reason to overlook future needs and desires.DThe way to reduce stress and improve happiness.A主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“But a new study has found a way to deal with this problem: Be more connected to your future self”，并結(jié)合對(duì)全文的整體理解可推知，本文主要探究了一種應(yīng)對(duì)拖延癥的方法，故選A。.完形填空(2019·貴陽(yáng)市普通高中第一學(xué)期監(jiān)測(cè))The happy new mother asked eagerly to see her baby.
