Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good __35__ for the team.
A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the__36__ . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup（替補）. Unluckily four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a __37__ and the top eight scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a __38__ way to decide.
Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up（陣容）.Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a couple of hours, all the __39__ on the team were set except one. Carla and I __40__ for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition between the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead.__41__ I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted __42__ even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla __43__, just by a little bit. Her expression as she __44__ she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, I'll still have the fun of seeing the show up close.
Was I __45__ by not trying as hard as I could? I don't think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn't __46__ it. It won't hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

試題分析：幾周以前，校長高迪先生告訴我們，我們學校被選中參加一個游戲表演比賽，我和我最好的朋友卡拉都十分喜歡這個比賽。卡拉想象力豐富，我的歷史知識很好，我們都認為自己是參賽的最佳隊員。幾天后，校長高迪召集對這個比賽感興趣的同學開會，告訴我們參賽隊員五人，另外還有三名候補隊員。遺憾的是，有興趣參賽的學生數(shù)是這個數(shù)字的四倍多。大家一致同意通過比賽決定最終的參賽選手。昨天，高迪先生主持了比賽，一小會兒后，剩下我和好朋友卡拉競爭最后一個職位了。比賽進行到一半時，我觀察卡拉的表情，意識到她比我更想贏這場比賽。我故意落后一點，讓卡拉贏了比賽�？ɡ@勝時的表情彌補了我不是參賽隊員的遺憾。由于我是候補隊員，我依然能享受近距離觀賽的樂趣�？ɡ瓕⑹且晃皇謨�(yōu)秀的選手，我認為讓我最好的朋友高興是一件正確的事。
小題1:此題考查名詞，根據(jù)語境可知此句的含義是凱拉有豐富的想象力，而我知道很多歷史知識，所以我們認為我們都是這個隊優(yōu)秀的入選者。A.意為“入選者” B.成雙成對（多指一對男女） C.意為“領袖” D.意為“粉絲”“狂熱愛好者”故選A。

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful(有壓力的) life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That’s how millions of people start their day at Laughter(笑聲) 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 is naturally good at laughing — it’s the common language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects(效果) 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 silly. 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 real laughter and unreal 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．IndiaB．AmericaC．BritainD．China
小題2:How many Laughter Clubs are there in the world today?
A．Over 300.B．Over 500.C．Over 800.D．Over 1,300.
小題3:How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?
A．Surprised.B．Pleased.C．Nervous.D．Tired.
小題4:When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?
A．After ten minutes. B．After ten hours.
C．After ten seconds. D．After ten days.
小題5:The article mainly tells us __________.
A．young children laugh much more often than adults in a day
B．laughing is one of the best ways to stay healthy
C．many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health
D．real laughter and unreal laughter are both good for health
