Air is a colorless, tasteless and invisible(看不見的)gas that is around us. An “empty” drinking glass and an “empty” room, in fact, are not really empty. Each is filled with air. When the glass is filled with water, the water pushes the air out of the glass.
Air, as a gas, has no definite shape, but because it is matter, it takes up space and it has weight. It is easy to prove that air is something that takes up space. Stuff a piece of dry cloth(布)into the bottom of a glass so that it will not fall out when the glass is turned upside down. Push the upside down glass, holding straight up and down, into a jar of water till the glass is completely covered. When the glass is taken out of the water, the cloth is still dry. The air inside the glass shows that it takes up space and keeps the water from coming in.
小題1:Since air is matter, it has ________.
A.room , and weight as wellB.both room and shape
C.either room or weightD.neither shape nor weight
小題2:The word “Stuff” means ______ in Chinese.
A.撕B.蓋C.取掉D.塞
小題3:The writer tells that the experiment(實(shí)驗(yàn))___________.
A.is carried out in the spaceB.must be done in the lab
C.is made in the roomD.can only be done in the open air

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world — and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria, “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest — I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real — and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!
小題1:The first Laughter Club was started in _____.
A.BritainB.AmericaC.AustraliaD.India
小題2:The writer felt _____ at the beginning of the class?
A.surprisedB.pleasedC.nervousD.stressful
小題3:The people in the club began to laugh for real _____?
A.a(chǎn)fter ten minutesB.a(chǎn)fter ten hoursC.a(chǎn)fter a few seconds D.a(chǎn)fter ten days
小題4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.
B.40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.
C.Adults laugh more often than children in a day.
D.Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.
