2．Ever since I can remember，I have always enjoyed making myself and others laugh.Humor has always played an important role in my life as it was key in helping me develop my personality and outlook on life through childhood.
What I did not realize，however，was why or how it made me feel better about myself.I wanted to find out just exactly how humor affects us in our lives，and whether or not it played a key role in having a longer and more enjoyable life.
From my research，I found many different ways that humor can influence our emotions and physical health.These benefits are split into two different sections：short-term and long -term.
One example of the short-term benefits of humor would be that laughter induces relaxation.It gets many muscles moving in your body.One reason why muscles get tense is lack of oxygen flow.Once you laugh as a response to humor，it increases the flow of oxygen to the muscles，resulting in a more relaxed and more energy-filled body.Another short-term benefit is that laughter causes pain relief.This is achieved by intense stimulation of organs in the body，which leads to increased circulation and blood flow.
As for the long-term effects，they can be just as rewarding.For example，one thing laughter can do in the long run is improve the overall health of the heart.This happens because，like stated earlier，laughter increases blood flow.Since the heart is the organ that regulates all blood flow in the body，naturally the heart becomes strengthened.One last long -term benefit from humor is that it can reduce stress levels and boost the immune system.
（1）What benefit of humor does the author mention in the first paragraph？
A．It lets the author make more friends.
B．It keeps the author physically healthy.
C．It helps to shape the author's character.
D．It frees the author from any stress.
（2）What does the underlined word"induces"in paragraph 4 mean？
A．Skips.
B．Decreases.
C．Needs.
D．Causes.
（3）How does the author show the long-term benefits of humor？
A．By telling stories.
B．By giving examples.
C．By listing numbers.
D．By making comparisons.
（4）What is the best title for the text？
A．Health Benefits of Humor
B．Stories About Laughter
C．Success Brought by Humor
D．Humor in Daily Life組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5 -
3．From chicken feet socks to green fish head masks，from sad frog toys to dinosaur costumes，"ugly"products have become popular among young people.
On the social media platform Douban，there is a group called Protection of Ugly Things with more than 200，000 members.They post"ugly things"they see and buy in daily life.Many of the comments below the posts are"cute"and"the more I look at it，the more I love it".
Some museums have also followed the trend and produced many "ugly"but impressive cultural and creative products.For example，on June 14，the Gansu Provincial Museum brought out a stuffed toy.It's based on its famous bronze sculpture，known as Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow.
The toy recreates the details of the sculpture in a cute and cartoon style.The horse puts on a crooked smile，standing on a chubby green bird.This makes the toy"more fashionable and more fun"，so it can connect with ordinary people，the museum said.
In fact，some of the"ugly"products can also be useful.Yin Peixin，11，from Hubei，has a cabbage dog toy.Unlike others，she doesn't find it ugly."It's a creative design to mix cabbage with a dog.The toy makes me feel better when I'm upset.It also serves as a mini pillow to help me have a good sleep，"said Yin.
