　　What's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?

　　It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why ? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.

　　Held on a farm, the time Glastonbury Festival is the most well-know and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 including free milk from the farm.

　　Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength—in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone. Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.

　　Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder will perform in order to highlight international poverty and debt.

　　Some superstars are concerned about global poverty.

　　【科普知识型---阅读理解】

　　It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.

　　Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.

　　What is your cat's IQ?

　　In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.

　　?Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. ?They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．So, if you feel guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse：you are making your cat fat!

　　There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.

　　There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and halfclosed eyes, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner meditation，”Brunt said. Sure. But cats don't have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their inlaws. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.

　　So, according to science, even though we assume that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?

　　1．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

　　A．Cats can copy humans' schedule.

　　B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.

　　C．Cats are smart and have a long memory.

　　D．Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.

　　2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

　　A．Humans' keeping searching the fridge.

　　B．Cats' going to their owners for food.

　　C．Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.

　　D．Humans' leaving cats home while working.

　　3．What can we learn from our cats?

　　A．To remain calm.

　　B．To be able to copy.

　　C．To stay proud.

　　D．To look up to friends.

　　4．The best title for the passage could be

　　“________”．

　　A．Your cat can bring you pleasure

　　B．You are copying your cat

　　C．You can make your cat social

　　D．Your cat is copying your habit

　　【要点综述】本文是一篇有关养宠物猫的科普文章。宠物猫和主人待的时间长了会模仿主人的习惯，而人也能从猫身上学习一些好的习惯。

　　1．D　推理判断题。根据文章的“There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat…”可知D项错误。

　　2．C　词义指代题。根据画线这一段的内容可知this 指代的是猫会模仿主人搜刮冰箱的习惯。故选C项。

　　3．A　细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段内容，特别是最后一句“They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.”可知A项正确。

　　4．D　主旨大意题。本文是一篇有关养宠物猫的科普文章。宠物猫和主人待的时间长了会模仿主人的习惯，而人也能从猫身上学习一些好的习惯。故选D项。

　　Why laughter matters

　　Although most people believe that laughter is one of the nature's great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.

　　“Laughter above all else is a social thing，” says Baltimore neuroscientist, Robert Provine, who has studied laughter for decades. “All laughter groups laugh ‘hahaha’ basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”

　　Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools' Day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather than to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn't dependent on single sense but on social interactions.

　　And laughter is not just a thing of people. Chimps tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.

　　Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled—they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.

　　By studying rats, scientists can figure out what's going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.

　　Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts say. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.

　　“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit，” Provine said, largely because it's hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. But he thinks it doesn't really matter, “Isn't the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough？”

　　1．The most important finding of Robert Provine's research is that ________．

　　A．laughter makes a person feel good

　　B．laughter depends on different senses

　　C．laughter is a quality people are born with

　　D．laughter is a social response shared by all creatures

　　2．According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ________．

　　A．if they can laugh

　　B．if they like laughing

　　C．what laughter in rats produces

　　D．how rats react while being tickled

　　3．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A．Patients will recover if they laugh enough.

　　B．Laughter is a means of communication as well as a language.

　　C．A new medicine has been developed based on the laughter research.

　　D．Scientists can know what is happening in a human brain when he laughs.

　　4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

　　A.

　　B.

　　C.

　　D.

　　CP: Central point　P: Point　Sp: Subpoint(次要点)

　　C: Conclusion

　　【要点综述】“笑”既是人类也是动物的一种交际行为，多数人认为“笑”是治疗身体疾病和心理疾病的有效方式之一。“笑”是否与健康有直接的联系，尚无科学定论，但是，“笑”能使你身心愉悦，这毕竟是一件好事。

　　1．A　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Isn't the fact that laughter feels good when you do it enough？”可知A项正确。

　　2．C　事实细节题。根据第六段“…laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant(抗抑郁药)．”可知。故C项正确。

　　3．B　事实细节题。根据第二段“All laughter groups laugh‘hahaha’ basically the same way.”以及第三段“Laughing is our first way of communicating.”可知，“笑”既是一种交际方式也是一种所有物种都能理解的语言。故B项正确。

　　4．D　篇章结构题。文章第一节首先提出话题：尽管“笑”被认为是治疗身体疾病和心理疾病的方式之一，但是它仍旧是研究者们试图想弄明白的一个严肃的科研项目；接着文章从两个方面来论述主观点：(1)“笑”是人类的行为：①Laughter above all else is a social thing②Laughing is our first way of communicating；(2)“笑”也是动物的行为：And laughter is not just a thing of people；最后得出结论：“笑”是否与健康有直接的联系尚无科学定论，但是，“笑”能使人身心愉悦，这毕竟是一件好事。综上可知D项正确。
